In the precarious situation of the Nightless City, how could he possibly entertain such thoughts, let alone any encounter with a lady in the Nightless City would make Jason even more vigilant.
The ladies who could survive in the Nightless City were all not to be underestimated.
Those who underestimated them had long since turned into nutrients that sustained their survival.
And in the replica world?
Thinking of this, Jason suddenly became lost in thought.
He thought of Erha, then the female pastry chef, and then Aras.
Thinking and thinking, Jason shook his head again.
All is good, he doesn't deserve it.
Or rather, he has no qualification.
Weak to the point of "uncertain survival."
Telly noticed Jason's moment of distraction, and just as this straightforward girl was about to ask, she felt a tightness on her palm.
Glancing down, Telly saw that Kemi was firmly grasping her hand.
Looking up again, Telly saw Kemi subtly shaking her head.
"I feel a bit unwell."
Saying this, Kemi stood up, pulling Telly's hand and walked towards the house.
"Jason must be a big flirt!"
"Did you see his expression just now?"
"It was brimming with radiance!"
The moment they entered the house, Telly couldn't help but speak out, but Kemi suddenly knelt on the ground, gasping for air.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Such a scumbag isn't worth your..."
"It has nothing to do with Jason."
"I just had another auditory hallucination."
Telly quickly knelt down to support Kemi, but before she could finish her words, Kemi interrupted her.
"The howling of cats and dogs?"
Telly was taken aback.
Kemi nodded, reaching for her neck.
There lay an amulet carved from peach wood, appearing somewhat ugly, but it was enveloped in a distinctive aura, making it seem quite extraordinary.
This was a gift from Delbon after learning about Kemi's situation.
As for asking Jason about encountering a curse?
No curse can harm a "Ship Slayer."
Therefore, Delbon believed that Kemi had encountered something.
And this little "something" naturally reacted when faced with Jason the "Ship Slayer," thus, he gave Kemi an amulet.
"That unreliable Delbon!"
"What guarantees that there won't be any more problems? For such an amulet to cost me 5000 bucks!"
"I'm going to call him right now!"
Telly said indignantly.
"Didn't you say that Delbon gave it to you?"
Kemi looked up at her best friend.
"He said he's been short on cash lately and couldn't spare the time, so, I said I could pay—Kemi, don't be mad, I didn't mean to deceive you."
Telly held Kemi's hand, her eyes pleading with her best friend.
"I just think it's a bit expensive."
Kemi consoled the sensitive Telly, and her words immediately resonated with Telly.
"I thought Delbon was a swindler at that time."
"I'm even more certain now!"
"I'll call him right now, and if he doesn't refund my money, I'll discuss it with Lord Jason."
Telly grew even more furious after hearing Kemi's words.
Kemi knew that Delbon feared Jason, but she didn't think Jason would care about such matters.
"As long as Lord Jason helps me get back the 5000 bucks, I will give Lord Jason 3000 bucks, and also, I will tell Lord Jason that Delbon has significant profits and is at fault in the first place."
"Trust me, this is very effective."
Kemi was about to say something, but the noise outside stopped their conversation abruptly.
The two girls ran out of the side door, looking towards the courtyard.
John, Brian, McCaul were still the same as before.
A faint difference was beginning to emerge from the three men.
It was a change in aura.
A change from low to high.
A complete sublimation.
Kemi and Telly clearly sensed this sublimation, and after exchanging glances, the same thought arose in their hearts: did it work... perhaps?
Although still in doubt, they leaned towards affirmation.
John and his friends didn't disappoint the two young ladies.
John, who had been looking down, lifted his head and after gesturing with his hand by his leg, an invisible wind swept across the lawn.
The sudden gust lifted debris, scattering it in the air.
Flames burst forth from Brian's hands, engulfing all the debris.
McCaul, who had stopped walking, performed several hand gestures, and as the ashes fell, there was a brief pause.
Finally, the ash drifted down slowly.
This scene was just like the one previously performed by Jason with the "Roeld Seal," "Gennie Seal," and "Kaya Seal."
Perhaps a bit unpolished and less powerful, but they had essentially replicated it.
"John, Brian, McCaul's talents are really not bad."
Jason appraised them thus.
Leviah's notebook didn't mention how quickly performing the first Dharma Seal is considered talented, so Jason could only measure their talents against his own level.
He had grasped the "Gennie Seal" in an "instant"!
And as for the "Roeld Seal" and "Kaya Seal"?
A slight delay in speed was understandable.
After all, he needed to "translate," didn't he?
John looked at Brian, then at McCaul.
This middle-aged man, whose face was usually clouded with sullenness and indifference, suddenly revealed a rare smile.
