Berserk Tiger clearly held back. He didn’t dare unleash any magecraft aura, afraid that the soldiers above might detect it. If they ever discovered the location of this black market, his life would be over.
“Watch out!” Flaxseed cried, his face instantly turning pale.
But Jared had already anticipated it. A cold smirk curled at the corner of his lips.
Just as the dagger was about to brush his clothes, grabbed Berserk Tiger’s wrist and gave it a slight squeeze.
“Argh!” Berserk Tiger let out a terrifying scream. The bones in his wrist were crushed to powder, and his hand dangled limp and useless.
The dagger clattered to the ground, the venom eating into the floor and leaving a small pit that hissed with green smoke.
“This is merely a lesson. In the future, if you’re willing to gamble, you must accept the loss. Don’t resort to sneak attacks.”
After Jared finished speaking with an icy tone, then kicked Berserk Tiger through the air. The man flew more than ten meters like a rag doll and slammed hard into the ground.
The entire black market went dead silent. Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
Who would have thought this seemingly ordinary young man could wipe out the entire Berserk Tiger House with nothing but brute strength?
The thugs who used to swagger around acting tough now looked like helpless infants before him.
Berserk Tiger’s face was deathly pale, eyes filled with unwillingness, but didn’t dare fight back. He knew was utterly powerless in front of Jared. With no other choice, gave the order for Gillian to bring out all the celestial coins and resources.
Eason stared at the mountain of celestial coins and resources, grinning so wide his face nearly split.
He stepped forward and patted Jared on the shoulder, exclaiming, “Jared, you’re amazing! With you, our Fox Spirit House’s position in the black market is bound to skyrocket!”
Jared simply gave a faint smile without replying. He knew that in the celestial realm where strength ruled all, only by constantly becoming stronger could hold his ground.
Today’s victory came only because magecraft aura was restricted. If such restrictions hadn’t been in place, wouldn’t have stood a chance against those experts. That meant had to raise his cultivation level as quickly as possible.
The members of Berserk Tiger House could only watch as Jared took away the wealth they had painstakingly gathered. Though resentment burned in their hearts, no one dared to say a word. They all knew from this moment on, Berserk Tiger House’s status in the black market would plummet.
“Father, shall we hit the next black market?” Jared asked.
Only by amassing more celestial coins and resources could Jared elevate his cultivation level more rapidly.
“Absolutely. Let’s go!” Eason was all excited.
After giving Berserk Tiger one last cold glance, turned and left with Jared.
As they exited Berserk Tiger House, the members of Fox Spirit House looked at Jared with newfound admiration.
Originally, they had suffered heavy losses to Berserk Tiger House and were on the verge of collapse. They never expected to recover everything in one stroke.
At first, Gillian had looked down on Jared entirely. His small build and cultivation at Immortal Realm Level One didn’t impress at all.
If hadn’t been Eason’s son-in-law, wouldn’t even have bothered to speak to him. But now, Gillian and the others kept calling his name with sincere enthusiasm.
Eason, too, became increasingly fond of Jared, showering with praise all the way.
Together, Eason and Jared began sweeping through black markets one by one.
Because of Jared’s figure, everyone assumed was weak. So every black market they visited, the locals bet heavily on his loss.
The outcome was predictable each time. Jared emerged victorious, subsequently collecting a substantial amount of celestial coins.
The black markets may have lost fortunes, but they couldn’t do anything about it. They didn’t dare to take action. If they dared to refuse payment or resorted to violence, their black market’s reputation would be lost. And in the black market world, losing credibility meant destruction.
No one would dare do business with them again. More importantly, once anyone used magecraft aura, it risked leaking their location and alerting the patrolling soldiers.
If a black market’s location was exposed, it was as good as dead. The city lord mansion would undoubtedly dispatch troops to eradicate the black market.
