Chapter 2892
"Take care of everyone and make sure they're safe." Jared sped off, leaving the words hanging in the air.
Lulu bit her lip as she looked out the window with worry written all over her face. She had to force herself to calm
down, as acting out in a panic would do her no good.
She figured that Jared had ordered her to stay behind because there was nothing she could do to help, and since
that was the case, she decided that it would be in everyone's best interest for her to stay put and ensure that the

lingering feeling of anxiety.
"Oh, since the package was delivered by an unknown sender, Nicole was worried that there might be something
harmful in there. Look, I don't know what's going on, so let's ask her when she comes back." Lulu replied in an
attempt to calm everyone, as she had no idea what just happened.
"Why would someone send something harmful to our home?

Meanwhile, Nicole was still sprinting away from the courtyard with the package in hand.
"Where are you going?" Jared asked, catching up to her.
"Let's find a large, open space. I don't know how powerful this thing is." Nicole swept her glance across the area,

Jared nodded, knowing what was going on at an instant. Then, he snatched the package from her and hurried off to
the field, panting and huffing.
"Hey..." she stared at her empty hands and ran after him.
"Don't come over!" Jared flashed his palm at Nicole, not wanting her to follow him.
However, Nicole was adamant on not letting him run off on his own, so she hurried after him, "Let me see the thing
first."
When they finally reached the center of the field, Jared laid the package down and looked at Nicole. "I'll handle it.
Go over there and wait for me."
