Chapter 1383 Pinkie Swear
As Zion gently moved his hand around the sphere, an image started to appear. In the image was a man donned in black robes. He sat in the center with his legs crossed and corpses floating around him.
The man’s eyes suddenly flew wide open before he raised his head slightly. “President Zeigler, to what do I owe the pleasure?” he said faintly.
“Seven Deadly Stars, Jared is still alive. Are you not going to do anything after he killed your disciples? I can give you his whereabouts right now, but you should stop sending your zombie puppets. Those mindless scraps are not enough to kill Jared!”
It turned out that the man in black was Seven Deadly Stars of Blood Corpse Cult. As for the man and woman Jared killed in Jadeborough, they were Seven Deadly Stars’ disciples.
Hearing that, Seven Deadly Stars stood up abruptly and demanded, “Give me his whereabouts!” As he stood up, the corpses floating around him fell and scattered all over the floor.
Zion replied calmly, “He’s in the Southwest Region. Wildefield, to be exact. I suppose he won’t stay long, so you might have to pick up your pace.”
“Hmph! I’ll hunt and strike him down personally, even if I have to chase him to the ends of the earth!” Seven Deadly Stars barked before waving his hand, dismissing the image transmission.
Seeing this, a hint of a smile played on Zion’s lips as he put the sphere back into his pocket.
“President Zeigler, do you think Seven Deadly Stars is powerful enough to kill Jared? After all, Jared was capable of taking down Tobias alone.” The elder standing beside Zion was confused.
Though Seven Deadly Stars was powerful in his game, especially in the mental energy aspect, he was not exceptionally powerful.
To Seven Deadly Stars, he would learn that killing Jared would be near impossible with his current strength.
“I’ve never expected anything from Seven Deadly Stars. All I need from Seven Deadly Stars is to have him test the water for me. After all, Jared is a man whose strength remains unfathomable to many. Besides, Seven Deadly Stars stands almost unrivaled in the aspect of mental energy. As long as he could gut Jared even by the slightest, he would relieve the pressure on our shoulders to a certain extent during our hunt for Jared,” Zion spat out his intention with a smirk.
The elder standing by his side immediately realized what Zion was aiming for. He was using Seven Deadly Stars as a cannon folder!
Meanwhile, Millie and Cecilia walked Jared to the gate in Crimson Palace to see him off.
“Jared, will you be visiting us again?”
Millie bit her lip with reluctance flickering in her eyes.
“Of course. I’ll be visiting whenever I have the time.” Jared flashed her a smile.
“B-But we don’t have anything you need anymore. Will you still be coming back?” Millie replied. She was referring to the cave. This cave was the purpose of Jared’s return.
After the cave collapsed, there was nothing Crimson Palace had that Jared needed anymore. Hence, she couldn’t help but question the probability of Jared’s return.
“Of course, I promise. Wait for me here, and I’ll return one day to take you to Jadeborough for some fun,” Jared uttered firmly as he looked into Millie’s eyes.
For the time being, he had no choice but to rush back to Jadeborough. With him now being able to contest with Zion, he had to return to Jadeborough to deal with Zion once and for all to rescue Josephine.
With that, Millie stopped talking and extended her tiny pinkie.
Seeing this, Jared let out a smile and closed his pinkie around hers for a pinkie swear.
Meanwhile, Cecilia said no words, yet her teary eyes seemingly had already told him what she wanted to express.
As he looked into her eyes, Jared, too, could tell what she wanted to convey to him.
After bidding Cecilia and Millie farewell, Jared and Flaxseed began their journey back to Jadeborough.
When they arrived at the borders of Wildefield, however, Flaxseed halted.
“Mr. Flaxseed, what’s wrong?” Jared asked in puzzlement.
