When Joel's body disintegrated and was reduced to ashes, John, who was under the Brilliant Fortune Building in Pengcheng City, also felt a strange sensation, as if a hat that he had gotten used to wearing on his head had suddenly been taken off.
He knew Joel had tampered with him, so when he sensed the unusual feeling, his first reaction was that Earl Joel had arrived and was determining his location or status!
If it had been when he had just been captured by Mr. Liang, he would have been somewhat worried if he knew that Earl Joel was right behind him. That was because he knew Earl Joel could easily find out he had betrayed the "Red Rose" and him.
But after gaining a better understanding of Mr. Liang's power and influence, John no longer worried, prioritizing saving his own life first. Even if Joel did come, he wouldn't stand a chance against Mr. Liang and his allies. If Joel did arrive, he might even be able to use the situation to raise his own status in Mr. Liang's favor.
