Less than an hour later, the Rowe residence was completely cleansed of life by Jared. The entire residence fell into a deathly silence, with only the lingering scent of blood in the air attesting to the recent tragic events.
Jared walked out of the Rowe residence without a speck of blood on him. He looked up at the night sky and murmured, “Next, it’s the Pennyworth family’s turn…”
With a flash of his figure, he headed toward the Pennyworth residence. When Jared arrived at the Pennyworth residence, the Pennyworth family was already in a state of high alert.
Traps and stealth weapons were deployed all around the residence, and the Pennyworth family’s experts were all armed, prepared for battle. Tension and vigilance filled their gazes.
Jared stood before the Pennyworth residence. Looking at the tightly shut gates, he curled his lips into a mocking smile. He waved his hands, and an immense force slammed into the gates.
With a thunderous boom, the Pennyworth residence’s gates were instantly pulverized, wood chips flying everywhere.
“Who dares to trespass on my residence!” Morgan rushed out from within, followed by a group of experts from the Pennyworth family.
Jared looked at Morgan and declared, “It is me… Today is the day of your family’s demise.”
“Jared? How daring of you to come to the Pennyworth residence alone!” Morgan sneered. He then waved his hand, prompting the Pennyworth family’s experts to charge at Jared together.
Jared stood still with a disdainful look in his eyes. With rapid hand movements, he made seals. In an instant, streaks of powerful internal flames were released from his palms. Those flames shot toward the Pennyworth family’s experts like brilliant meteors.
The experts scrambled to dodge, but the flames seemed to have eyes, relentlessly pursuing them.
Many of the Pennyworth family’s experts were struck by the flames and instantly reduced to ashes.
Morgan’s face paled at the sight. He pulled a magical item from his pocket; it shimmered with colorful light and emitted a powerful aura. Chanting, he hurled the magical item toward Jared.
Jared was utterly unafraid of the approaching magical item. He waved his hands, and a massive force deflected the magical item right back.
The magical item slammed heavily into Morgan’s body, and he felt a tremendous power surge into him. With an agonized cry, he collapsed to the ground, barely clinging to life.
“Mr. Pennyworth!” The Pennyworth family members cried out in alarm when they saw Morgan drop to the ground.
Jared ignored them, continuing to unleash internal flames within the Pennyworth residence, striking down the members of the Pennyworth family one by one.
The Pennyworth residence instantly descended into chaos, with members of the Pennyworth family scattering and fleeing. However, they couldn’t escape Jared’s relentless pursuit.
Jared moved through the Pennyworth residence like the grim reaper, leaving a trail of the dead in his wake.
After another hour, the Pennyworth residence was also cleansed of life by Jared. The entire place was reduced to ruins, with only the scent of blood and the burning flames narrating the tragic scene.
Having witnessed everything, Morgan was utterly terrified and involuntarily wet himself.
Jared glanced at Morgan and slowly walked toward him.
“If… If you don’t kill me, I’m willing to offer all of my family’s treasures to you!” Morgan began to beg Jared for mercy, hoping to use his family’s entire fortune to buy his own life.
Looking at Morgan, Jared couldn’t help but laugh.
“You’re an idiot. Won’t your family’s treasures still become mine if I kill you?” he stated.
Morgan froze, unable to comprehend Jared’s words. Don’t villains always beg for mercy and offer money to be spared, so why isn’t Jared playing along?
Before Morgan could react, a bolt of internal flame struck him, instantly reducing him to ashes.
Jared then took out an item pouch to collect all of the Pennyworth family’s treasures and resources.
