Chapter 1093 Greed
“Who are you? What are you doing here? Have you been staying in this tower for hundreds of years?” Jared asked while staring at the old man in shock.
Despite being an energy cultivator himself, the fact that a person could live up to a few hundred years still baffled Jared to no end.
“Haha! You see, Pentacarna Tower was built specifically for me. Had it not trapped my soul here, I would’ve broken out of this sh*tty place a few hundred years ago! Now that you’ve learned my Sacred Light Fist, I’ll be able to follow you as you leave this place!” the old man replied with a chuckle.
Jared shook his head. “Pentacarna Tower has restrictions on the front door, so I can’t get it open at all.”
“Don’t worry. All you have to do is deactivate your spiritual energy and use Sacred Light Fist. Remember to use only your physical energy, or the door won’t open,” the old man instructed before slowly vanishing into thin air.
“H-Hey!”
Jared had wanted to ask the old man what he meant about him being the son of a dragon, but the old man had completely disappeared.
“Jared? Jared! Wake up, Jared! Don’t scare me like this!”
Lizbeth’s voice trembled slightly as she shook him with all of her might.
Upon opening his eyes, Jared realized he was lying on the ground with Lizbeth kneeling beside him.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was awake. “You nearly scared me to death, Jared! You did some kind of weird move and passed out immediately after. I even heard you mumbling some weird stuff while you were unconscious.”
Jared frowned as he sat up straight and tried to recall what had just happened.
“Was I dreaming just now?” He couldn’t help but find it all very strange.
“What did you dream about?” Lizbeth asked in confusion.
Jared shook his head. “Oh, it’s nothing. Come on. We’re leaving.”
“How will we get out of here? You can’t open the front door because of the restriction, remember?” Lizbeth asked.
“Just come with me. I’m going to give it another shot.” Jared grabbed her by the arm and dragged her downstairs with him.
Meanwhile, Karl was sitting on the balcony of a mansion not too far away with a glass of red wine in hand.
“It’s been three days now. I wonder if Jared is still alive,” he mumbled to himself as he gently swirled the red wine and took a sip.
Joshua came over and whispered in his ear, “Mr. Gardner, Mr. Norton is on the way here with his men. All we have to do is deliver Jared to him, and the Gardner family will finally be able to venture into Jadeborough.”
The flames of greed burned brightly in Karl’s eyes as he exclaimed, “Yes! Once we enter Jadeborough, I will become the president of the Warriors Alliance and have the entire martial arts world under my rule!”
Unsatisfied with being Baron of the Northwest, he wanted to get the Gardner family into Jadeborough so that he could become the president of the Warriors Alliance.
That showed just how greedy of a man he was.
“With Pentacarna Tower, the position of president is bound to be yours sooner or later. However, we might not be able to keep its secret for long once Mr. Norton gets here. What should we do if they start prying into Pentacarna Tower, Mr. Gardner?” Joshua reminded him.
“We have nothing to worry about. I’m the only one capable of using Pentacarna Tower. It’s nothing more than a hunk of scrap metal to everyone else,” Karl replied confidently with a chuckle.
Meanwhile, as Jared and Lizbeth continued heading down the Pentacarna Tower, they were completely unaware that three days had passed in the world outside.
For them, it had only been a few hours since they were trapped inside.
About ten minutes later, the two of them had arrived at the entrance of the tower. Jared slowly clenched his fists as he stared at the looming metal door in front of him.
