Chapter 1253 Monstrous
Right as Jared achieved his breakthrough in the cave, the leader of the Norton family, David, had finished his cultivation session in Jadeborough
When he saw his family was destroyed, wrath filled his heart. When he saw his family was destroyed, wrath filled his heart.
“What the hell happened? What’s going on here?” he roared.
At the side, Skylar, whose face was covered with a black veil, carefully approached his father. “Jared Chance is the one responsible for this, Dad. He destroyed the Norton family and almost killed me.”
There was something sinister in his voice.
David frowned as he stared at his son. He felt like his son had changed.
“What are you doing in broad daylight?” When he pulled the veil away, he was stunned.
He could see half of Skylar’s face had transformed into a skeleton. It was quite a terrifying sight.
While Skylar’s injuries had mostly recovered, his face didn’t, as well as one of his legs.
That was why he was limping.
David almost lost his mind when he saw how monstrous his son looked.
“Jared Chance, is it? I will hunt him down and kill him no matter where he escapes! Go and find out where he is right now!” he demanded.
A terrifying aura burst out of his body. In an instant, even the birds that were flying past him were shaken by his aura.
Back at Crimson Palace, Jared had no idea what was going on with David nor did he know that the former was investigating him. He was still cultivating in the cave.
On the ninth day, he still couldn’t achieve his breakthrough. So, he stopped cultivating and left the cave.
“It seems like trying to achieve a breakthrough through brute force is impossible! I need a golden opportunity to do it!” He couldn’t help but shake his head.
“Jared…” When Millie saw Jared coming out of the cave, she quickly called out to him.
“Why are you here, Millie?” He was surprised by her visit. “Did people from Divine Beast Sect come?”
“They did.” She nodded.
His expression changed slightly when he heard that. “Take me there quickly. How’s your sister?”
Seeing how anxious he was prompted her to giggle as she covered her mouth. “Do you like my sister, Jared?”
He was slightly stunned. “What makes you say that?”
“Look at how worried you are. My sister’s fine, so relax. People from Divine Beast Sect came, but only one showed up to invite you to Divine Beast Sect.”
“Invite me to Divine Beast Sect?” Jared was confounded. I have no business with Divine Beast Sect, so why are they inviting me?
“Let’s go! Elder Cowper of Divine Beast Sect is waiting for you!” Millie pulled him into the hall of Crimson Palace.
“My sister is the leader of the sect, Jared, so she can’t marry you. There’s a rule in Crimson Palace stating that the leader can’t get married. However, she can be your mistress. My sister quite likes you, and you care about her, so why not stay at Crimson Palace from now on? It’s a nice thing to be my sister’s partner, you know. There are lots of beautiful women here. Isn’t that what men like the most?” There was a mischievous smile on her face as she stared at him.
“You’re just a child. What are you saying? I’ll let your sister know what you said and let her punish you later.” He gently knocked on her head.
Crimson Palace was indeed a place many men wanted to visit. However, he wasn’t going to stick around because he had many things to do.
Soon, Jared and Millie arrived at the hall and saw Cecilia chatting with a middle-aged man.
When Cecilia saw Jared, she stood up. “Mr. Chance, this is Elder Cowper from Divine Beast Sect. He came here specifically to invite you.”
