Maria fell into a momentary silence, her eyes searching Jagoan’s face with a mixture of gratitude and solemnity. Finally, she nodded lightly and spoke with earnestness, “Jagoan, I can’t thank you enough…”

Jagoan couldn’t help but exhale a sigh of relief as he watched Maria accept the elixir. He believed he could do so much for her. Although he possessed a Rejuvenation Pill now, he couldn’t bring himself to give it to Maria, knowing that she had experienced so much in life. Instead, he opted to offer her three quarters of the enhanced Life Saving Pill as a guarantee.

As the evening wore on, Jagoan stood up and addressed the two girls, “Well, now that Cathy is alright, I should head back.”

Claudia’s reluctance was palpable as she spoke up, unable to contain herself, “Jagoan, you’ve been standing here for a while. Why don’t you sit down for a bit? I’ll get you a glass of water!”

Jagoan smiled gently and declined, “No need, Claudia. This is a girl’s dormitory and as an older gentleman, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to linger for too long. If I wait a little longer, I’m sure the dormitory auntie will come up and chase me away.”

Suddenly, a thought struck Jagoan and he added, “Oh, by the way, both of you will begin military training tomorrow. It’s going to be quite demanding, so if you have any free time then, I suggest staying within the school grounds.”

Claudia couldn’t quite grasp the meaning behind Jagoan’s words, but she nodded instinctively and replied, “Jagoan, I’ve already spoken to Auntie and Lisa. I’ve assured them that during the two weeks of military training, I won’t be going anywhere.”

Maria surmised that Jagoan’s concern for her safety was the reason behind his words. Even though she didn’t understand the specifics, she spoke up, “Jagoan, don’t worry. I’ll be at the school during this time and won’t leave.”

Jagoan’s voice relaxed as he responded, “That’s good to hear.”

He felt reassured knowing that the university provided a relatively closed environment that made it easy for Maria to remain hidden. As long as she didn’t venture beyond the university’s confines, even if the Marshal of the Warriors Den were to come to Aurous Hill, he would find it challenging to locate her. Jagoan had already arranged for Zachary’s help to act as bait and once the Marshal showed up, Jagoan would seize the opportunity to eliminate him.
