Chapter 895 Reason

While Jared wasn't a great man in the past, he was an authentic businessman. He poured his sweat and blood into expanding his family, and his efforts paid off.

Thanks to his hard work, the Wallace family became one of the most prestigious families in Lumenopolis. Just as he was elated with his achievement, something strange happened.

Four years ago, one night after dinner, just as he was about to go for a stroll in his courtyard, he suddenly suffered massive pain coming from his skin. Then, he abruptly transformed into a green monster with scales.

The bodyguards following behind him were flabbergasted. They shouted in fear, and some even tried to attack Jared.

Thankfully, at that time, Jared had a very loyal subordinate called Austin Wallace, an orphan he had adopted.

Following Jared's order, Austin murdered all the bodyguards who personally witnessed Jared's monstrous transformation. Then, he sent Jared back to his room in secret.

During that period, the Wallace family was developing at a meteoric rate. If anyone learned the head of the Wallace family was a monster, the family businesses that he had worked hard to manage would be severely affected.

Because the Wallace family was Jared's life's work and pride, Jared refused to let the news of what happened leak out.

Aside from Austin, every other person who knew of the matter was murdered. Just as Jared tho was going to spend the rest of his life hiding from the rest of the world, he transformed back inte normal human the next morning.

Hence, he thought the transformation was just an accident of sorts. Unfortunately, the same thing occurred during the night.

It was then Jared understood how his transformation worked. Whenever nighttime arrived, he would become a monster. As a result, he never left home during the night ever again.

Since he couldn't attend any socializing events at night, he asked his adopted son to handle the Wallace family's matters. Additionally, he asked his son to visit various famous doctors in search of someone who could cure his condition.

In the end, Austin stumbled upon Magnus, who instantly figured out Jared's plight. It gave Jared hope that he could return to normal. However, Austin thought Magnus was suspicious and might be up to no good. So, he tried to dissuade Jared from listening to Magnus.

However, Magnus told Jared the heart of the latter's most trusted aide was required to cure the monstrous condition. At that point, Jared had almost been driven mad by his desperation to treat his ailment. Thus, without questioning whether Magnus' request was valid, he asked someone to murder Austin and extract the latter's heart.

After Jared consumed the medicine Magnus provided him, he didn't transform for two days. However, that was far from enough, and Magnus subsequently asked for the innards of children to continue treating Jared.

Jared was an extremely selfish man, so he didn't care about other people's lives. All that matter was that his malady was kept at bay.

After that, he established three underground bases he used to source the necessary ingredients for his medicine at three different locations, which were Jadeborough, Nebula City, and Renfort

Upon learning the whole situation. Alex still didn't know what disease Jared was suffering from or why children's innards were needed to cure it. Not even Nite Heaven Scrolls mentioned anything of that sort.

In order to crush the organ trafficking operation once and for all, Alex personally destroyed two of the three bases Jared had established. The last remaining one was in Kenfort.

Alex then interrogated Jared about the location of the secret base in Kenfort. Fearing for his life. Jared spilled everything.

As Alex was in Jadeborough with Stanley by his side so he couldn't leave, he called Flynn, who was int Nebula City, to handle the matter

Naturally, Alex wasn't going to let Jared, who had committed countless crimes, off that cauly. To punish Jared. Alex utilized the hypnotism he had used on William in the past.

Under the effects of hypnotism. Jared was controlled to slice his own body with a knife until there was no flesh left on his bones. While he couldn't control his body, his consciousness remained intact.

It was to let him experience the pain of having his flesh cleaved apart. Even so, Alex didn't believe that enough for Jared to atone for the latter's sin of murdering so many children.

After the matter was handled, no one else dared to stop Alex from leaving Just as he was about to leave, he remembered Magnus. If Fonzo has a pill that potent, doesn't that mean the old fart may have something equally valuable? It'll greatly benefit me if I can replace them!

With that thought in mind, Alex, who had reached the entrance of the amusement park, turned and walked back to where he came from. Then, he began rummaging through Magnus body to search for any precious items.

Though he didn't replace pills or anything like that, he did discover a book. It appeared old, but it was well-preserved by its former owner.

When he looked at the book cover, he saw the words "Insect Codex" written on it
