Aelnod only dared to stop after running for a long time. Upon confirming that Jared did not chase after him, let out a long sigh of relief.
“F*ck, he’s really a freak! He’s only at Wandering Immortal Realm Level Four, and yet, he’s got me, who’s at Wandering Immortal Realm Level Eight, completely cornered!” Aelnod cursed out loud.
In truth, was oblivious to the fact that Jared was merely using for practice. Had Jared struck with his full strength, would’ve been dead long ago with no chance to escape.
The person who spread the news is a jerk… They’re clearly out to screw us over!
As a matter of fact, Aelnod had been fooled. Earlier on, hadn’t paid Jared any mind because saw that the latter was merely at Wandering Immortal Realm Level Four.
In retrospect, finally understood one thing, the fact that Jared managed to obtain magical items from the ancient ruins indicated that Jared’s abilities or background were far from ordinary. Otherwise, someone like Jared, who was only at Wandering Immortal Realm Level Four, would never have been able to acquire magical items from the ancient ruins.
Realizing had been tricked, Aelnod left in disappointment. Although felt a deep sense of resentment within, knew it was a scheme. If didn’t want to be caught up in it, his safest bet was to keep his distance.
***
Jared took Aelnod’s item pouch, but instead of keeping it for himself, gave it to Douglas.
“Mr. Murray, use the resources in this item pouch to rebuild the Murray residence,” Jared said.
The Murray family had many of their houses reduced to rubble from the battle.
“Jared, why are you still being so courteous with me? We’re all family here!” Douglas didn’t take it.
Jared stuffed the item pouch into Douglas’ hands, saying, “Almost everyone on level three knows that I possess magical Items from the ancient ruins now, and I’m sure there’ll be a fair number of people targeting me…”
“That’s why I can’t stay here any longer. Otherwise, I’ll bring disaster to your family. I plan to bring Jemima along, and I’ll have visit you once I sort out this matter.”
“Okay! Be careful! Given our current situation, it’s indeed not suitable for you to stay here any longer!” Douglas nodded.
“Father…” Jemima looked at Douglas, eyes filled with reluctance.
“Come back to visit me after I rebuild the Murray residence.” Douglas gently patted Jemima’s shoulder.
Jemima gave a firm nod in response.
Jared left with Jemima, and before long, their figures vanished into the horizon.
However, no sooner had Jared and Jemima begun to traverse through the void than the area they were in started to tremble violently, and a shaft of light enveloped them completely.
Instinctively, Jared moved to shield Jemima behind him. At the same time, figures began to emerge from all around, their gazes directed at Jared and Jemima.
“This must be Jared Chance, the one who has magical items from the ancient ruins, right?!” someone asked.
Upon hearing that, Jared furrowed his brows.
Why is it that no matter where I go, there are always people who recognize me?
It’s clear that I’m being targeted!
“Sorry, but I’m not Jared Chance!” He shook his head in denial.
“Cut the bullsh*t! We’ve already seen a projection of your face!”
With a casual wave of a hand by someone, a projection appeared in the void out of thin air. The face on it was indeed Jared’s.
At that point, there was no use for Jared to deny it any longer. Since they’ve even made a projection of my face, they must be determined to make sure that I can’t survive on level three!
“How did manage to get his hands on magical items from the ancient ruins when he’s only at Wandering Immortal Realm Level Four?” Another person voiced their suspicions.
A few people even gathered around Jared, curious to know what the magical Items from the ancient ruins were.
When Jared saw their movements, warned coldly, “I don’t care who you are, but you’d better not mess with me, because it won’t end well for you!”
A man in green sneered. “Woah, you sure are arrogant! You’re only at Wandering Immortal Realm Level Four, yet you dare to talk to us like that? Listen, I’m…”
Before the man in green could finish his sentence, Jared struck, beheading the man with the Dragonslayer Sword in an instant.
