“Jared!” Both Jhaelyn and Jemima stepped forward to support simultaneously.
“Jared…” Braxton and Thorley were also visibly tense.
Jared wiped off the blood and responded, “No worries. I’ll be fine after a bit of rest. Dealing with three Wandering Immortal Realm Level Nine experts was indeed a tough task!”
“Did you really kill these three?” Braxton asked, struggling to believe it.
Jared gave a firm nod.
Braxton looked at Jared in disbelief, suddenly realizing how wise his decision had been. Betraying Celestial Palace and letting Jhaelyn stay with Jared seemed like the right choice, after all.
“Jhaelyn, take Jared for some rest immediately!” Braxton ordered.
Jhaelyn gave a nod, but before they could leave, a sudden, ominous aura loomed over the Eighth Hall.
Everyone looked up, only to see an elderly man dressed in a dark robe, his face solemn, walking in. He was surrounded by dozens of cultivators in black attire.
“The leader of Heavenfail Pavilion?” When Jared saw the newcomer, his brows instantly furrowed.
Braxton narrowed his eyes, stepped forward, and greeted, “Mr. Gallegos, why did you come here?”
Since they were both from level two, Braxton had come to know the leader of Heavenfail Pavilion, Radmus. However, they usually didn’t cross paths. Heavenfail Pavilion wouldn’t dare to provoke Eighth Hall. After all, Eighth Hall was backed by the entire Celestial Palace, or even the whole celestial clan. Heavenfail Pavilion simply couldn’t afford to mess with them.
“I came for him…” Radmus then pointed at Jared.
“Mr. Gallegos, this man is my son-in-law, who is now a member of my Eighth Hall. How did manage to upset you?” Braxton was unaware that Jared had killed Aziel and Dexton from Heavenfail Pavilion.
“He killed someone from Heavenfail Pavilion, so I’m here to take away today!” Radmus declared.
Braxton was taken aback for a moment. He then glanced at Jared.
Seeing that Jared offered no rebuttal, knew this must be true.
“Mr. Gallegos, we can compensate for the loss inflicted upon your Heavenfail Pavilion, but you cannot take away. He’s now one of us in Eighth Hall. If you intend to take Jared away, you’ll have to deal with Celestial Palace first!” Braxton used Celestial Palace to intimidate Radmus.
“Hahaha! You really know how to scare someone. You’ve long since become a traitor to Celestial Palace, and you’re still trying to intimidate me with it?” Radmus burst into hearty laughter.
At that moment, Braxton suddenly found himself in an awkward situation, unsure of what to do next.
Jared gently pushed Jhaelyn and Jemima aside, giving Radmus a frosty look.
“You’re a defeated soldier, yet you dare to seek me out. Aren’t you afraid I might kill you? One just got away. He’s a Top Level Wandering Immortal Realm, yet was scared off. See those bodies on the ground? They were all level three experts, yet they still fell under my blade. What do you amount to, as the leader of Heavenfail Pavilion?” Jared put on an intimidating demeanor as spoke.
Seeing Jared in such a state, Radmus was far from scared. On the contrary, burst into hearty laughter.
“Jared, keep up your act. You might fool others, but you can’t fool me at all! The information about the ancient magical item you carry was leaked by me. Also, it was I who gave your location to the people from level three!”
“I know exactly how you took out those three. You‘re at the end of your rope now. Don’t even mention me dealing with you, even a Wandering lmmortal Realm Level Five could easily take you down right now!”
Radmus had long been scheming against Jared. All these affairs were orchestrated by alone.
Jared’s face turned sour; had never imagined that all of this was Radmus’ doing. It seemed like had been played, and didn’t have a clue.
This old geezer is incredibly cunning…
Jared glared furiously at Radmus, yet seemed utterly helpless. He simply didn’t have the strength to fight Radmus at that time.
