Maria’s panic intensified, causing her to instinctively take a step back, nervously questioning, “Who… Who are you… How do you know me?”

Jagoan snorted and replied, “What? Are you still pretending? Come, let me show you something!”

With those words, he retrieved the ring, which had started jumping again, from his pocket.

Playing her part convincingly, Maria displayed an even more startled expression and exclaimed, “Why do you have that ring? Give it back to me immediately!”

She lunged forward, attempting to snatch it from Jagoan’s hand.

Frowning, Jagoan observed Maria’s reaction. It seemed that she truly had no recollection of him, their encounter, or the ring.

She didn’t remember him saving her, nor did she recall giving him the ring willingly. However, Jagoan didn’t want to jump to conclusions.

Holding the ring aloft, he stated coldly, “You gave me this ring with your own hands. Do you want to admit it, or do you genuinely not remember?”

“Impossible!” Maria angrily retorted, “This ring is an heirloom passed down to me by my father! I’ve always cherished it as a treasure, and I would never have given it to you! You must have stolen it from me. Are you a member of the Warriors Den?”

Upon hearing her mention the Warriors Den, Jagoan grew even more perplexed. He couldn’t determine if Maria’s actions were genuine or part of an elaborate ruse. To probe further, he infused a surge of reiki into Maria’s mind, using a greater amount than usual.

Maria sensed a surge of spiritual energy entering her spiritual sea, but it had no effect on her thoughts. Nevertheless, she continued to cooperate, appearing calm as she gazed at Jagoan with vacant eyes.

Feeling that he should be safe after using a larger amount of aura, Jagoan questioned, “Do you still remember who I am?”

Maria shook her head.

Jagoan pressed further, “Have you ever seen me before?”

Maria mumbled, “I haven’t…”
