Chapter 489Chapter 489 How Dare They Ignore Me
Jared did not expect Tessa to do something like that. For a moment, he did not know what to do. Even
though she was so close that he could smell her, Jared tried his best to calm himself.
“I’ll hold your hand, so just close your eyes and follow me. No matter what you hear, keep your eyes
shut tight, okay?” instructed Jared.
Having decided to trust the man completely, Tessa responded with a nod and shut her eyes as she was
told.
“Mr. Chance, do you have any idea what’s going on? Why would there suddenly be fog?” inquired
Dominic curiously.
“This is not fog. Now close your eyes and only open them when I tell you to. No matter what you hear,
don’t move a muscle. Got it?”
Dominic knew he had no choice but to listen to Jared, so he, too, followed the man’s instructions.
“Roar!”
The group got even more afraid when they heard the beasts coming closer and that there was a pack
of them.
“Ah!” Almost everyone jumped when they heard a scream coming from not too far away.
Shortly after that, they started hearing more screams and the sound of people cursing while running
away.Terrified, Jayden hid behind George because only then did he feel safe. As for George, he had already
taken up a stance and was ready to face danger head-on.
At that moment, Jared suddenly appeared before Jayden with Tessa in hand. Despite the thick fog,
Jared did not seem to have any trouble navigating around.
“Mr. Snyder, order everyone to stay where they are and close their eyes. It doesn’t matter what they
hear; all they have to do is stay still and keep their eyes shut,” instructed Jared once again.
Jayden was impressed that Jared could still find him in their situation but was curious why the man
requested that he and the others shut their eyes. “What? Why would we do that?”
“Do you know how much danger we’re in right now? We’re being surrounded by ferocious beasts! Yet,
you want us to close our eyes and remain still? We’ll be sitting ducks!” exclaimed George, upset by
Jared’s seemingly absurd request.
“Dad, you have to trust Jared. He’s a very capable man,” chimed in Tessa.
Unconvinced, Jayden then pulled his daughter to him. “Don’t be ridiculous! As long as Mr. Jenson’s
here, not even the beasts can get to us!”
“They’re merely mindless animals. If they come anywhere near us, I’ll make sure they pay for it!”
assured George confidently.
Jared shook his head helplessly when the two refused to place their faith in him. These so-called
beasts are just illusions. Their only purpose is to strike fear into people’s hearts and cause confusion.
Since most of the group insisted on fending for themselves, Jared had no choice but to play it by ear.Roar! All of a sudden, a tiger with colorful stripes showed it to Jared and the others with its teeth bared.
Jayden was scared out of his wits when he saw the beast, so he quickly called out to George while
Tessa held on tightly to his arm with her eyes shut tight. “Mr. Jenson!”
George saw the tiger as well, so he immediately shouted at it to get its attention.
However, the shouting did not seem to affect the beast, which continued to roar at Jayden and the
others. It was as though the animal could not see or hear George at all.
novelbin“How dare you ignore me, you filthy beast!” George felt humiliated when the animal disregarded him
and got upset, so he rushed forward and took a swing at the tiger.
To George’s surprise, his fist passed through the target as if it was made of air.
