Chapter 1246 Stay Out Of It
In the meantime, Millie was still shouting at the cave’s entrance. She felt a little dejected when there was no response after shouting several times.
When she was about to leave, she spotted a ball of blue flames in the cave. Soon, a dark shadow appeared.
It gave Millie a shock of her life, thinking she had seen a ghost.
“Help! A ghost!” she screamed with fright and shut her eyes tight.
At that time, Jared had already arrived in front of Millie. Chuckling, he asked, “Who are you calling a ghost?”
When she heard Jared’s voice, she quickly opened her eyes. It’s really Jared!
“I knew it! You never left Crimson Palace!” she cheered.
She was so excited to see him that she almost leaped into the air.
“What’s the matter, Millie?” Jared asked, puzzled to find Millie looking for him there.
“Jared, Crimson Palace is in trouble. Can you help us? Cecilia told me not to disturb you, but…” Millie bit her lip and stared at him pleadingly.
“What happened?” Jared asked in astonishment.
Just as Millie was about to explain, Jared suddenly grabbed her arm and stopped her from talking. He frowned, looking around with a stern expression.
The fighting sounds have traveled into the precinct.
“Let’s go.” Jared pulled Millie along and dashed to the entrance of Crimson Palace.
“Cecilia!” Millie yelled when she saw Cecilia and Peyton tangled up in a fight.
At that moment, Cecilia’s clothes were drenched in sweat. She was panting and running out of energy.
However, the lecherous-looking Peyton seemed unhurried, as if he was playing with Cecilia.
When Cecilia heard Millie calling out her name, she turned back in a hurry and yelled at the latter, “Millie, run! Don’t stay here!”
Cecilia wanted Millie to leave as soon as possible.
“Cecilia, I found Jared!” Millie shouted.
At that time, Cecilia had spotted Jared standing beside Millie. The former never expected Jared to have never left Crimson Palace.
“Jared, please save my sister,” Millie pleaded, tugging at Jared’s arm.
Jared nodded and disappeared in a flash.
With an incredible energy, he charged at Peyton.
Seeing that, Peyton paled, and he quickly backed away to avoid the attack.
However, Jared created a huge crater in the ground.
The deafening explosion made everyone halt. Meanwhile, Cecilia stared at Jared and thanked him, “Thank you for coming to help, Jared.”
Jared blushed the second he saw Cecilia.
That was because she was sweating profusely. Her clothes that were drenched looked transparent under the sunlight.
That sight almost caused blood to ooze out of his nostrils.
“Lady Jingle, I’ll handle these guys. You should get changed,” he suggested.
Jared did not dare to look directly at her.
It was at that moment when Cecilia finally realized she was a little exposed. Hence, she hurried off to get changed.
In the meantime, Peyton glared at Jared with a grim expression.
“You’re that Jared who killed Warren, the director of Jadeborough’s Warriors Alliance?” Peyton asked.
“That’s right. I’m surprised you recognize me,” Jared said with a smile.
When Peyton heard Jared admitting it, the former’s expression grew more thunderous.
At that point in time, Jared was already quite well known. No ordinary person would dare to mess with him. Hence, that saved him a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, many random strangers would come looking for trouble, which would annoy Jared to death.
“Jared, you and I don’t have grudges against each other. Today’s fight is because of our grudge against Crimson Palace. I hope you’ll stay out of it. Once I finish Crimson Palace, I’ll bring you to Divine Beast Sect to look around,” Peyton offered.
The man did not want to have any conflicts with Jared, yet he did not want to let Crimson Palace off.
Thus, Peyton had to use Divine Beast Sect’s name, thinking Jared would give up upon hearing the sect’s name.
