Jaxon knew exactly how tough his own body was. Countless divine weapons had failed to leave a single scratch on him.
Jared had just given him a light stab, and somehow, his defense was broken.
He couldn’t help but wonder what kind of sword Jared owned.
Jared hadn’t expected the burly Jaxon to start crying just from a minor stab. It wasn’t even a fatal wound, so why was he bawling?
“Sorry, sorry! Don’t cry, don’t cry! Here, you can stab me a few times too!” Jared quickly apologized to Jaxon.
Hearing this, Jaxon immediately pulled out a sharp blade and thrust it at Jared without hesitation.
The sudden action shocked everyone.
Especially, Orion-he hadn’t expected Jaxon to be so gullible. Jared had only been joking, but Jaxon actually took him seriously!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Jaxon stabbed three times in rapid succession.
Even so, Jared remained completely unscathed, while Jaxon’s blade shattered instead!
The sight left everyone even more stunned.
Jaxon stared at his broken weapon, then burst into even louder sobs.
He wasn’t crying over his weapon-he was devastated.
He had always prided himself on his indestructible physical body, but now, that confidence was utterly shattered!
“Okay, that’s enough! I injured you and broke your weapon. I’ll give you an extra five thousand celestial crystals!” Jared quickly consoled Jaxon.
Jaxon immediately stopped crying and beamed. “Really?”
“Of course. I always keep my word. You’ll each get ten thousand celestial crystals. As long as you’re loyal and willing to go through hell and high water with me, I’ll make sure you’re well rewarded,” Jared promised.
“No problem! Hand them over!” Jaxon stretched out his hand.
Yelena and the three hooded figures also fixed their eyes on Jared, waiting for him to pay up.
However, Jared had already given all his celestial crystals to Fraser. He had none with him now.
Seeing their expectant gazes, Jared turned to Fraser and said, “Fraser, take out the celestial crystals so I can distribute them.”
“No way! You gave these to me!”
Fraser clutched his item pouch tightly.
“Don’t be so stingy! I’ll have more sent over later. It’s just around one hundred thousand celestial crystals. Why are you acting like they’re valuable treasures?”
Jared snatched the pouch and began distributing the celestial crystals.
Fraser wanted to snatch it back, but then he remembered how ridiculously powerful Jared was-and the fact that Jared had his own celestial crystal vein mine. Following Jared would never leave him short on resources.
Besides, now that they were family, Jared would never cheat him.
“Fine, fine! Just give it all away. We’re family now, anyway. What’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is mine!” Fraser declared generously.
Jared retorted, “D*mn, cut it out. I’m family with your sister. My stuff can be hers, but definitely not yours.”
“Same thing, same thing!”
Fraser laughed, patting Jared’s shoulder.
Seeing how close Jared and Fraser were, everyone felt even more certain about following Jared.
Jared was soon to be the son-in-law of Twilight Imperial City, one of the most powerful forces in the Ethereal Realm!
“Mr. Chance, may we accompany you to Twilight Imperial City? We would like to stay by your side and ensure your safety at all times,” Orion asked Jared.
To them, Jared was their financial backer. If they wanted to break through to the Immortal Realm, they had to rely on him. That was why they couldn’t let anything happen to him.
“No way! Twilight Imperial City doesn’t allow outsiders in!”
Before Jared could answer, Fraser immediately refused.
ringing so many strangers to Twilight Imperial City would definitely anger his father.
“Who says they’re outsiders? They’re my people now-why shouldn’t they be allowed in Twilight Imperial City? If they can’t go, then I won’t go either!”
Jared turned and started to walk away.
Seeing this, Fraser quickly stopped him. “Okay, okay! They can all come!”
Only then did Jared smile faintly. With that, the entire group headed straight for Twilight Imperial City.
