Jared thought of Donovan.
Donovan trades celestial crystals in Beast City and is very knowledgeable in this aspect. But on second thought, he is too much of a coward and is also a member of Beast City’s city lord mansion. If I were to tell him about the matter of the vein mine, he would likely claim it for himself! He is too greedy and is also a scaredy-cat, not to mention a member of the city lord mansion!
Hence, he eliminated the man as a possible collaboration partner.
Jared then thought of Claude but also felt it wouldn’t be quite appropriate.
Claude is Jaime’s foreign official. If he were to learn about it, Jaime would likely also become aware of it I certainly don’t want that to happen. At present, my strength is inferior to his. If he were to forcefully take over this celestial crystal vein mine, there’d be nothing I could do to stop him!
Suddenly, someone came to Jared’s mind. It was Billy, the man Mia introduced him to when they first entered Beast City.
Billy isn’t a member of the city lord mansion. Moreover, he’s a human, so there’s no way he’s in complete harmony with those of Beast City. Additionally, he’s at Ultimate Realm Level Four, and that’s more than enough to cause widespread devastation. Back when he found out that I’m also a human cultivator, he was quite warm and friendly. It’s him, then!
Jared inwardly made up his mind to collaborate with Billy to mine that celestial crystal vein mine.
He knew he couldn’t stay long in Beast City, so he had to find a collaboration partner to mine the celestial crystals in a short span of time.
After settling on that course of action, Jared turned to the others and said, “You guys wait here for me. I’m going to take care of some things. While I’m away, don’t mine the celestial crystals on your own but preserve your spiritual energy, lest anything unexpected happens!”
“Jared… are… are you going to rescue my brother?”
Elena had already disclosed the location of the celestial crystal vein mine to Jared, so by all accounts, he should be setting off to rescue her brother then.
“Yes. I’m off to rescue your brother right now!” Jared affirmed with a nod.
“Thank you!” Elena flashed him a smile.
Jared’s body shuddered slightly. She looks incredibly stunning when she smiles!
He hadn’t felt that way in quite some time. But having encountered countless individuals in his life, he wasn’t particularly frantic about the matter of dual cultivation.
After all, Zelda was by his side at that moment. Moreover, he never lacked for women around him, and each one of them was a beauty.
He left the cave, heading straight for Beast City.
Meanwhile, in a beast general’s mansion in Beast City, a dead body was laid out in the courtyard.
It was that of Niel. As Teegan gazed upon his younger brother’s lifeless body, a medley of emotions welled up within him.
A man dressed in a military uniform, bearing a solemn expression was also there. He was none other than Teegan’s father, Rex Buckley.
He did not appear all that sorrowful, his gaze brimming with solemnity instead.
“Teegan, you said your brother was killed by a Ninth Level Tribulator, and you weren’t his match?” Rex asked Teegan.
“Yes, Father. I’ve also looked into it. The man’s name is Jared Chance, and he has already become Jaime’s foreign official,” Teegan affirmed with a nod.
Jaime whom he spoke of was none other than General Jaime, who was also one of the Three Beast Generals.
“How dare Jaime’s foreign official kill my son. It looks like the feud between us is going to implode ahead of time!”
After saying that, Rex slowly lifted his head and cast his gaze to the south, for that was the direction of Jaime’s general’s mansion from there.
“General Rex, we’ve found the individual who’s been disrupting the celestial crystal market and trading celestial crystals privately!” the butler of the Buckley family reported, walking into the courtyard just then.
“Teegan, go and check it out with some men. If you can win him over, then do your best to do so. Avoid any further conflict and violence. We need to ready the celestial crystals as soon as possible as the agreed time is almost upon us!” Rex said to Teegan.
“Father, what about Niel’s body then?”
“Burn it,” Rex ordered casually.
It was as if Niel were just some ordinary person and not his own son.
