“It seems you’ve got everything figured out!” Jared let out a bitter laugh.
“Of course. Would I have come to find you blindly if I hadn’t planned properly?” Radmus chuckled.
“However, in all your careful calculations, you overlooked one crucial detail!” Jared was intently gazing at Radmus.
“Oh? What did I miss?” Radmus asked In confusion.
“You didn’t include the possibility of whether I would self-destruct…”
Soon, a surge of energy began to wildly expand within Jared, making seem as if were inflating like a balloon.
“Jared, don’t be rash!” Upon seeing the situation, Jhaelyn and Jemima hurriedly stepped in to mediate.
Braxton was also taken aback, unable to comprehend why Jared was ready to self-destruct just like that.
Radmus was also taken aback, hadn’t expected Jared to be so valiant
“If I were to self-destruct, do you think you could escape?” Jared questioned Radmus.
Jhaelyn and Jemima had also begun to channel their internal auras, both of them intending to self-destruct. If Jared were to meet his and through self-destruction, they would go all out, too.
At that moment, Radmus was taken aback.
As those three were threatening to self-destruct, how could possibly withstand that?
“Don’t be rash. I’m not necessarily out to kill you…” Radmus spoke to Jared.
“Do you desire those two coffins from the ancient ruins?” Jared asked.
Radmus nodded. “That’s right. Just hand over the two coffins you obtained from the ancient ruins to me, and I’ll leave immediately! As for you taking out Aziel and Dexton, I’m not going to fuss over it. After all, they weren’t the only ones in Heavenfail Pavilion!”
Upon hearing Radmus speak in such a manner, Jared finally reined in his aura. “If you had said so earlier, things would have been much simpler…”
Without the slightest hesitation, Jared immediately presented the two coffins and placed them right in front of Radmus.
As Radmus gazed at the coffins before him, swirling with intricate runes, his eyes shone brightly.
However, when Jared so readily handed over those two coffins to him, it made Radmus somewhat wary, suspecting that there might be a catch.
“I’ve never opened these two coffins, nor do I have the means to. So, they’re of no use to me! Trading my life for two useless coffins feels like a fair deal to me!” Jared understood Radmus’ concerns. Hence, explained.
Upon hearing Jared’s explanation, Radmus gave a faint smile, casually putting away the two coffins.
“Let’s call it even between us…”
Once Radmus finished speaking, waved his hand. In an instant, and his subordinates vanished.
Upon seeing Radmus leave, Jared let out a long sigh of relief. However, a sudden wave of dizziness almost made faint. His body was pushed to Its limits, and urgently needed rest and recuperation.
“Guard the place for me. I need to retreat to the tower for some rest…”
After giving his instructions, Jared immediately left.
***
Atop the main peak of Heavenfail Pavilion, a perpetual mist lingered, shrouding the area in an ethereal veil. The pavilion’s structures were built along the mountain’s contours, exuding an aura of age-old solemnity.
When Radmus returned with dozens of black-robed cultivators, the core disciples of Heavenfail Pavilion had already been waiting solemnly at the mountain gate.
However, Radmus’ face did not hold its usual solemnity. Instead, wore an excitement that could hardly conceal. The two coffins in his sleeves, adorned with ancient runes, seemed to hold a secret treasure powerful enough to overthrow the balance of level two.
“Mr. Gallegos, you’re back!” An elderly man with silver hair approached, his gaze involuntarily falling on the coffins in Radmus’ hands. “The matters regarding Aziel and Dexton…”
“Let’s discuss that later!” Radmus waved his hand, his voice tinged with a hint of suppressed excitement.
“Issue my command,” ordered, “Seal off the core area of Heavenfail Pavilion. No one is to approach!”
He hurried along, heading straight for his solitary training spot, Abyss Cave.
