Chapter 1796


    Meanwhile, the others kept their minds under control and were not affected by the sound wave.


    Anne, however, was too weak. The sound wave took control over her, and her eyes slowly lost focus.


    Seeing that, Jared grabbed her hand and transferred a wave of spiritual energy into her body, which


    woke her up instantly.


    When Anne saw him holding her hand, she smiled and cast him a teasing gaze.


    Noting that, Jared wanted to let go of her, but she tightened her grip on him and refused to let him go.


    Jared was utterly at a loss for words. Never did he expect Anne to misunderstand his intent.


    He exined softly, “Don''t get the wrong idea. I''m just saving you—”


    “I''m not. Isn''t it great that we''re holding hands like this? Why bother letting go? Is my hand not fair


    enough? Is my skin not soft enough?”


    Anne''s voice was filled with mischief.


    xseed, on the other hand, was extremely envious when he saw the scene before him. “Youngdy,


    Jared is a dense man. Why don''t I hold your hand instead?”


    Anne rolled her eyes and ignored him.


    Nheless, xseed did not mind it at all. After all, a man had to be thick-skinned if he wanted to


    pick up girls.


    Just as Jared and the others were speaking softly and not paying any attention to the other party, Joel


    spoke. “Danny, is there anyone on our left?”


    “Yes, Mr. Joel. There are six people—four men and two women. They''re probably tourists,” said the


    blond-haired man.

    “Tourists? Have tourists evere here before?”


    Joel sounded a little angry.


    Danny hurriedly exined, “They''re not here on a trip, Mr. Joel. The most powerful person in this group


    is only a Greater Martial Arts Grandmaster, while the others are Martial Arts Grandmasters. Could they


    be here to explore the ancient ruins with such capabilities?”


    “So, there''s a Greater Martial Arts Grandmaster as well. Looks like I''ve miscalcted the situation.”


    With that, Joel shook the bell again. This time, however, the rings carried spiritual energy into the ears


    of Jared and the others. After that, the energy began to attack the spiritual sense in their minds.


    The attack this time was clearly more powerful than the first. Just as Jared was trying to drive the


    energy away, he froze.


    If we drive the energy away now and prevent ourselves from getting controlled, then the other party will


    suspect our true capabilities.


    Thus, Jared shot them a look. Understanding what he was implying, the others hurriedly pretended to


    fall into a daze as if they were controlled by the energy.


    However, Anne''s mind was truly controlled by the spiritual energy, and her eyes dimmed.


    Joel curled his lips into a smug smile and said, “Come here, all of you...”


    At that, Jared and the others rose to their feet and approached Joel obediently.


    “What are you guys doing here?” asked Joel.


    “Traveling, as well as trying our luck to see if we can find the legendary ancient ruins,” Jared answered.


    With that, Joel shook his bell to wake them up.  Draмanоvеls


    “W-What''s going on? Who are you people?” asked Jared and the others, feigning anxiousness.


    Nodding, Danny admitted, “Indeed. I''m surprised you know about us.”
