Chapter 1260 Still Alive
Josephine quietly waited because Zion would come to her cell every night. Josephine’s cell was nicely
furnished and she got the best treatment. The only shortcomings were the lack of sunlight and
freedom.
After Zion entered the room, Josephine rose to her feet mechanically and took off her coat, revealing
her fair arms. Numerous sizes of pinpricks dotted her arms.
Zion took out an empty syringe without a word, piercing her skin with it. Blood started to fill the
syringe’s barrel before long.

Josephine had a deadpan expression on her face the entire time as she watched her blood fill the
syringe.
She was already numb by it.
After drawing her blood, Zion placed an elixir on the table.
The elixir was a supplement to supply Josephine’s body with the necessary nutrients. Zion knew
Josephine was a goose that lay golden eggs, so he wouldn’t do anything that would threaten her life.
He whirled around, ready to leave after storing the tube of blood.
Josephine’s words stopped him in his tracks.
“How is Jared?” she asked.
She hadn’t spoken in a long time. It was a surprise that she broke her silence that day.
Zion continued to walk toward the door. “Still alive.”
Josephine let out a sigh of relief at the news.
Zion headed deeper into the dungeon with Josephine’s blood.
The smell was terrible in the deepest part of the dungeon.
He finally came to a stop when he arrived at the innermost cell. He threw the tube of fresh blood into
the cell.
A soft clang sounded when the tube hit the floor. Then, the sound of someone swallowing echoed from
the dark cell.
The spine-chilling sound soon stopped, and a hoarse voice called out, “Have you killed Jared?”
“Not yet. David from the Norton family is already on his way southward to kill Jared, so we’re delaying
our assassination plan,” Zion answered.
“Remember not to let Jared live. He will be the biggest threat to us in the future.”
The hoarse voice sounded.
Zion opened his mouth to say something but snapped it shut when nothing came out. In the end, he
turned on his heels and left.
Jared bid farewell to Cecilia and Millie after he got out of bed the next morning.
Cecilia and Millie walked Jared to Crimson Palace’s gate to see him off.
“Don’t forget your promise, Jared. Come and visit us when you have the time,” Millie said.
“Don’t worry. I will.”
Jared patted Millie’s head gently, glanced at Cecilia, then turned around to leave.

tracks. His brows furrowed at the strong force.
One of the auras was especially brutal. It enveloped the entire Crimson Palace. The owner’s intention
was clear. It was to prevent anyone within Crimson Palace from escaping.
Cecilia and the members of Crimson Palace paled when they felt the crushing force.
Soon a group of people had gathered outside the gate. Among them was a middle-aged man with a
stony expression on his face. After sweeping his gaze around, he asked, “So you’re Jared?”
Jared nodded. “Who are you?”
“David Norton,” the middle-aged man answered.
Jared felt numbness spread across his scalp. He never thought Skylar’s father had already come out of
training and tracked him all the way to Crimson Palace.
Jared could sense that the aura exuding from David was much stronger than Richard’s.
Jared didn’t have the confidence to fight against someone so powerful.
“Your son can’t beat me, so his father is here instead,” Jared taunted with a snicker. Even though I’m
worried about losing to David, I know I can’t show it.
“Stop spewing nonsense, brat! I’m here for revenge! I’ll crush you for destroying my family and hurting
my son!”
A blast of aura exploded from David’s body.
