Back at the villa, I went into the room to have a look.
Jessica was still asleep peacefully.
Looking at her serene sleeping face, I smiled, feeling a sense of warmth.
I returned to the living room, sat down, and continued with my previous work.
When Master Whisper arrived, I was in the midst of crafting a jade talisman. This time, the jade talisman was defensive, not offensive like before.
After the incident with Heather Thomas, I had the idea to create defensive jade talismans, which could be used to protect the people I cared about.
After all, among my string of jade beads, only eleven were Defense Magical Artifacts and I had already given one to Jessica, leaving only ten, which could only be distributed among ten people.
And now, the people I cared about far exceeded ten.
