“Evan Thorne?”
When the two women saw this young man, their expressions subtly shifted.
“Rosa, Isla, have you two sisters lost your minds?” accused, “You’re ignoring a fortune in bounty, yet you insist on selling those worthless charms of yours.”
Evan casually flicked his hand fan, speaking with an air of disdain.
“Mr. Evan, what do you mean by that?” Rosa asked.
“Don’t you guys know this person?” Evan asked.
Rosa and Isla shook their heads. They didn’t know Jared. They had only approached to sell the cloaking charm because seemed to be of a lower level and had an unfamiliar face.
“No wonder!” Evan said with a faint smile, “This man is named Jared Chance, the one the Haverford family spent two hundred thousand celestial crystals to hunt down…”
“Two hundred thousand celestial crystals?!”
The sisters, Rosa and Isla, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with astonishment.
“Mr. Evan, you must be joking. How could an Ultimate Realm Level Three cultivator possibly be worth two hundred thousand celestial crystals?” Isla asked with a hint of confusion.
“Who the hell has time to joke around with you guys? Anyway, this is what the Haverford family said. I don’t care about his cultivation level… Both of you, get lost. If you upset me, it’s been a while since my men have had any interaction with women!” Evan spoke to the two sisters.
“Mr. Evan, don’t be upset. We’ll leave…” Rosa quickly pulled sister aside, face full of apologetic smiles.
Just as the two sisters were about to turn around and leave, suddenly, dozens of orbs of light were thrown from their hands. These orbs of light burst forth with a blinding radiance, and in an instant, a series of explosions occurred.
Caught off guard by this sudden attack, Evan was thrown into disarray and swiftly retreated.
“Get moving! Are you waiting here to die?!” Rosa swiftly grabbed Jared, and they made a hasty escape.
At the same time, Isla had placed a cloaking charm on Jared, effectively hiding his aura. This was to prevent Evan and the others from tracking down by following his aura.
“Darn it! Go after them!” Enraged, Evan hastily pursued with his subordinates in tow.
Rosa and Isla, together with Jared, ran for a good half an hour, not stopping until the cloaking charm they carried lost its effect. Only then did they pause, panting heavily.
The two individuals quickly took out a few pills to replenish their strength, while Jared watched them with a hint of surprise.
“Why did you two decide to save me?” Jared asked in confusion.
“There’s no reason why…” Rosa said after catching breath.
“We’re kind-hearted sisters. How do you plan on showing your gratitude to us both?” Isla inquired.
“Kind-hearted?” Jared chuckled. “If that were the truth, who bullies the weak by forcing them into unfair trades?”
Isla shot Jared a look. “You should be grateful for just being forced into trades. Some people out there would kill you just for a reward.”
“Could it be that you sisters saved me just to personally claim the reward yourselves?” Jared said with a smile.
“Since you’ve already figured it out, we won’t beat around the bush any longer. We truly didn’t expect that you, an Ultimate Realm Level Three cultivator, would be worth two hundred thousand celestial crystals…”
“I wonder if the Haverford family has lost their minds, or maybe they just have too many celestial crystals to throw around! But don’t worry. I’ll be quick when I make my move. I won’t let you suffer.” Rosa looked at Jared, surprisingly offering words of comfort.
Jared couldn’t help but burst into laughter as looked at the twin sisters before him.
These two women, though not devoid of intelligence, were not exactly brimming with it either…
“Why are you laughing? Aren’t you afraid of dying?” Isla asked.
“Your intelligence is laughable,” Jared declared.
“What? You dare to mock us?” Isla pointed long sword toward Jared.
“Think about it. Does the Haverford family have an abundance of celestial crystals, or have they lost their minds? They actually used two hundred thousand celestial crystals to target me, an Ultimate Realm Level Three cultivator…”
“Couldn’t they have just sent an elder to kill me off casually? Why the need for a death warrant, and they’re even offering two hundred thousand celestial crystals?” Jared stated.
