“I believe they’re after the Treasure Land. That place has always been under Rhino City’s control, and Winged Tiger City just can’t accept it,” Eason said.
“Treasure Land?” Jared was taken aback, his face full of confusion.
“Boss, let‘s talk about it later. We need to deal with these people first.” With that, Maceo vanished in a flash, heading straight for those spies from the western region.
Upon seeing the situation, Jared turned to Eason and Madman, saying, “Let’s lend a hand. We can’t just freeload off others!”
With that, Jared, with the Dragonslayer Sword in hand, also rushed over in an instant.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Jared made his move, consecutively slashing his sword thrice. Just like that, had claimed the lives of three spies from the western region.
It was important to note that the spies from the western region were all clad in specially made soldiers’ armor. The armor was incredibly sturdy and soaked in turtle blood.
When Jared made his move, astonishingly shattered the armor and killed the men, which left the spies from the western region utterly astounded.
Their numbers were already few, and when they faced an expert like Jared, their fighting spirit evaporated instantly.
“Courting death!” Seeing the situation, the owner of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion instantly swung his knife down at Jared.
A crimson long sword soared into the sky, descending with an endless aura of death.
Upon seeing the situation, Jared swung the Dragonslayer Sword in his hand, intending to block the incoming attack.
“F*ck you! How dare you attack my boss?!” Upon seeing someone attacking Jared, Madman immediately became furious.
In an instant, positioned himself in front of Jared, swiftly launching an attack with both palms.
Madman struck out with both palms, from which two clusters of crimson flames surged forth, clashing dramatically against the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s owner’s crimson long sword.
In the midst of a fierce explosion, the crimson long sword shattered inch by inch. The owner of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was flung backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily against a column. His helmet fell off, and a spurt of fresh blood sprayed out, staining the soldier’s armor on his chest a vivid red.
“How could this be possible?” The owner of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion looked at Madman with fear, his eyes filled with disbelief. “Y-You’re Madman?”
The owner of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion wore a look of utter shock on his face.
Madman, who was believed to have entered the purgatory centuries ago and presumed dead, had astonishingly shown up that day.
What shocked the owner of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion even more was that Madman was actually addressing Jared as his boss.
He wasn’t aware of Jared’s identity, but the fact that had received the token from Jared indicated that Jared’s relationship with the city lord mansion was not ordinary. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible for to possess such a token.
“It’s you!” Jared was quite taken aback when saw the owner of Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
Maceo also walked over, taking a good look at the other party’s face.
The sight caused Maceo’s pupils to constrict sharply, his face revealing a look of shock.
“It’s you! Troah!” Maceo’s voice was filled with anger and disappointment. “I trusted you so deeply, handing over the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion to you to manage. I never imagined you’d turn out to be a spy from Winged Tiger City!”
Troah struggled to rise from the ground.
Wiping the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, sneered, “Maceo, don’t be so naive. It’s the survival of the fittest, so who doesn’t want more resources? Rhino City monopolizes the Treasure Land and hoards resources. Of course, Winged Tiger City won’t just turn a blind eye to it.”
“Shut up!” Maceo roared, and his aura surged all around him. “Today, none of you will leave here alive!”
As spoke, Maceo changed his hand seals. The glow from the arcane array above the city lord mansion surged tremendously.
Chains materialized from the void, flying toward the remaining spies from Winged Tiger City.
As the heated battle among the crowd was in full swing, a cry of surprise suddenly echoed from afar.
“Let go of me!”
Bastian was seen being held hostage by a spy from Winged Tiger City. The spy’s hand was pressed against Bastian’s throat, a precarious situation where a single misstep could cost Bastian his life.
“Father! Save me!” Bewildered and terrified, Bastian cried out for help.
Maceo’s figure halted abruptly, and a flicker of panic flashed in his eyes.
“If you dare harm my son, I’ll ensure you’d wish you were dead!” Maceo scowled, and was filled with murderous intent.
