Chapter 1384 Control
“I think I’ll be leaving you here. I plan to look around a bit to see if I can find any ancient ruins and the like. You’d better show up when I give you a call after I find something! Remember, you owe me this!” Flaxseed glared at Jared.
“I think I’ll be leaving you here. I plan to look around a little bit to see if I can find anything about the ancient ruins. You’d better show up when I give you a call after I find something! Remember, you owe me this!” Flaxseed glared at Jared.
On the other hand, Jared smiled awkwardly in response and said, “You got it, Mr. Flaxseed. Whenever you need me, I’ll be there!”
Upon receiving Jared’s guarantee, Flaxseed smiled happily. Knowing that Jared would rise as a prominent figure in no time, he felt assured after Jared personally gave him his word.
As the two parted ways, Jared continued his journey back to Jadeborough.
Halfway past a forest, Jared slowed down his pace without warning.
As he stood there, there was unease as he felt an eerie and sinister chill.
This feeling was not supposed to be felt, at least not in broad daylight. It was simply not right.
Yet, Jared could tell that the surrounding temperature dropped significantly the more he ventured into the forest.
Jared marched forward with utmost carefulness, with every ounce of his spiritual energy channeled.
However, before he could venture deeper into the forest, tendrils of pure darkness started forming right in front of him!
In a matter of seconds, darkness descended and shrouded the entire forest.
Jared knew he was ambushed at the sight of this twisting shadow.
The darkness before him suddenly seemed to have come to life. It started swarming Jared and wrapped around him entirely.
Screams and groans could be heard from the shadows. The waves of screams penetrated deep into Jared’s mind as the sounds were strong.
It was a form of mental energy attack—one that tried to break Jared’s spiritual sense and turn him into an idiot.
Jared, however, merely stood there as if he was paralyzed by the fear instilled into him by the hostile wails.
On the other hand, seeing how Jared did not put up a fight, Seven Deadly Stars, who donned a black robe, slowly emerged from the dark.
He locked his eyes on Jared and flashed a smile. “Oh? What a powerful man. He will be a great help if I turn him into one of my zombie puppets.”
With a wave, Seven Deadly Stars dissipated the black mist entangling Jared. When the black mist disappeared, so did the lamentations, leaving behind a seemingly lifeless Jared.
Seven Deadly Stars strode toward Jared, and when he pressed his fingers on Jared’s head, he sent a golden light that dived right into Jared’s mind.
In the next second, the black mist started forming on Seven Deadly Stars’ palm before he pushed his palm toward Jared’s head.
In order to create a zombie puppet, one had to cut off the target’s thoughts. That golden light that Seven Deadly Stars slapped into Jared’s mind was to sever his thoughts.
Just as Seven Deadly Stars was about to perform the ritual on Jared, a stern voice rang out. “Stop!”
Two figures could then be seen slowly walking out.
Upon eyeing the appearance of the two figures, Seven Deadly Stars frowned and immediately put up his guard, only to quickly put his guard down again after getting a more precise look at the two approaching men.
It turned out that they were Zion and one of the Warriors Alliance’s elders.
“President Zeigler, what are you doing here?” Seven Deadly Stars inquired curiously.
“Just like you, I’m here for Jared.” Zion shifted his sight to Jared and sneered.
“President Zeigler, I thought you were telling me stories about how powerful and talented this man is, but it seemed like I managed to seize him instantly.”
“Look at him right now. He’s now like a fool that will do as I wish,” Seven Deadly Stars added with a smug expression on his face.
Meanwhile, Zion was rendered speechless by the words hurled at him by Seven Deadly Stars.
Jared was indeed powerful to be able to kill David and Tobias. Whatever he did back then displayed his prowess.
Initially, Zion was using Seven Deadly Stars as cannon fodder. He had never expected him to be able to win against Jared at all.
