The Man's Decree

Chapter 1676 The Trap

Thinking that Jared had escaped, Josephine heaved a sigh of relief but grew anxious immediately upon seeing him return. “Jared, just go. Leave me. They won’t dare kill me.”

Her pleas were never going to be obeyed by Jared. “Josephine, I’ll definitely get you out of there today!” No sooner had he spoken than he stepped forward to pry open the steel bars of the cage with brute strength.

Before he could break them, a ray of light suddenly shot out of the ground, engulfing both Jared and Josephine within it.

Subsequently, densely arranged runes began to appear at their feet. Emitting a radiant glow, the runes floated into the air and began circling the two of them. “What are these?”

Jared’s brows furrowed curiously. Not knowing what it was, he guessed that it was an arcane array. While still baffled by the sudden appearance of the runes, both of them noticed a black hole open up beneath their feet.

The hole contained a suction power that gradually pulled them down into it.

Shocked by what was happening, Jared desperately struggled to free himself. Nonetheless, his efforts were futile as they continued to sink as if they were stuck in quicksand.
