Harold’s smile froze on his face as he exclaimed in disbelief, “That’s impossible! You can’t possibly destroy that place.” “There’s nothing I can do about it if you don’t believe me.”
Jared shrugged. “I don’t care whether that altar has been destroyed or not. None of you can escape. If you want to die a less painful death, kill yourself.”
Harold had the guards on his side, so he was not afraid at all. “Ha! You must have some misconceptions about your abilities! How dare you order us to kill ourselves?”
Jared snorted derisively before continuing to speak. “Stop standing there, and start fighting!” Thereafter, a commotion could be heard coming from outside.
A group of women charged toward the guards with ferocious expressions on their faces. While their abilities differed significantly, defeating the guards was extremely easy for them.
Before a minute had even passed, many guards lay on the floor, wailing in pain. Lizbeth and the group of girls she led charged into the room.
Anne straightened up and hurriedly welcomed Lizbeth with a faint smile on her face. She was no longer afraid. Harold was shocked. He did not understand how the group of weak-looking ladies could be so powerful.
The few guards he had beside him looked resigned to their fates. They fell to the ground with resounding thumps as they begged Ross for forgiveness.
“If you catch Harold for me, I can pardon your crimes,” Ross declared. He knew that the guards were merely momentarily tempted by Harold.
When the guards heard that, they rushed forward to capture Harold. The sorcerer was not spared from the fate of being captured either. Jared did not bother asking what Harold’s future would be.
After staying in the duke’s house for two days, Jared decided to bring Lizbeth and the rest back. The Dragonslayer Sword was as mighty
as a sacred martial arts relic now, so Jared decided to return to Jadeborough to seek out the Warriors Alliance. He wanted to ascertain if the Josephine in their dungeon was real.
When Jared was ready to leave, Ross gave him and his party a grand sending-off feast. After all, if Jared had not helped them, his family would have fallen into a state of disarray.
“Jared, I am truly thankful for all that you’ve done for us. I propose a toast to you!” Thereafter, Ross downed his glass of vodka in one shot.
Jared was not weak either. He gulped down the vodka in one mouthful. Alcohol was no different from water to him. “Jared, what do you think about my daughter?” Ross suddenly asked Jared.
“Princess Anne is a good person, cheerful and energetic. She also looks very pretty. Her big pair of eyes are especially attractive,” Jared replied honestly.
“Then, do you like my daughter? Ross asked. Jared froze. He did not know how to answer Ross.
He would be lying if he said he did not like her. Anne was pretty and very liberal. She flirted with him so often that he almost could not control himself.
However, he could not say that he liked her, as he already had many women by his side. Sometimes, he did not even know what he needed.
Noting how Jared was silent, Ross then said,. “Jared, my daughter likes you. I can see that. If you get together with her, I can allow you to stay in Seneris. You have to know that I will pass on my position to Anne in the future. Perhaps she can be the queen in the future. As her man, you can enjoy boundless glory and riches.”
Ross’ words could tempt many people greatly. However, it was a pity that Jared did not care about glory and riches. Furthermore, he disliked the idea of him staying put in Seneris.
“Thank you, Duke Ross. However, I can’t stay in Seneris. I apologize…” Jared rejected his suggestion politely Ross sighed before saying, “I can’t force you to like her, so I’ll respect your decision.”
Anne, who was not too far away from them, was crying bitterly.
