“Who on earth are you? Why should I tell you? We’re in Jipsdale. If you dare lay your hands on me, you’ll be breaking Jipsdale’s rules,” Vasker shouted.
Seeing how stubborn Vasker was, Jared exerted more force, causing Vasker’s bones to creak. Pain shot through Vasker’s entire body in an instant.
“Help! Help! Someone’s attacking me!” Vasker screamed in agony. Soon, the two people at the door rushed in but were immediately subdued by the Three Bandits. Jipsdale’s guards also heard the commotion and hastened over.
However, when they saw it was Jared, the guards were momentarily stunned. They swiftly pretended that they saw nothing and turned around to exit the building.
At that sight, Vasker was dumbstruck. He hurriedly yelled, “Sir, Sir! Quickly arrest him! He’s attacking me. He started a fight in Jipsdale!”
However, no matter how Vasker called out, the guards, feigning deaf, promptly left the scene. We’re no fools. Even Mr. Sparrow doesn’t interfere when Jared causes trouble. Small fries like us are all the more afraid to intervene!
“Don’t bother yelling. It doesn’t matter if I start a fight in Jipsdale. Even if I kill you now, no one will take action against me,” Jared said coldly.
At that point, Vasker knew Jared was indeed formidable since even Jipsdale’s guards didn’t dare to deal with him. Left with no alternative, he said, “Fine. I’ll speak, but let go of me first.”
Jared released Vasker. The latter rubbed his shoulder and explained, “Vasily is my elder brother. We’re twins, so we look alike. How did you become acquainted with my brother?”
Jared recounted how he came to know Vasily but didn’t mention the emerald badge. Vasker fell silent for a few moments before saying, “Us, Archaic Body cultivators, are living a difficult life in the far north now. We’re constantly being targeted by the Tall family. This treasure map is real. I stole it from our clan leader. I’m just trying to make some money!”
Jared was astonished to learn that Vasker had actually stolen his clan leader’s treasure map to sell.
“I can’t believe you’re betraying your clan and selling your clan’s treasure. Aren’t you afraid of being hunted down by other Archaic Body cultivators?” Jared asked.
“I’m not exactly betraying my clan because having this treasure map alone is useless. Even if someone finds the location of the treasure, they won’t be able to open it without the key. I couldn’t stand life in the far north anymore, so this was my only option,” Vasker said.
“It’s ridiculous to think that you’re Vasily’s twin brother. Your elder brother fought in the arena to earn resources for your clanspeople. You, on the other hand, stole this treasure map to sell. You only care about your own pleasure and not the slightest about your clanspeople,” Jared said angrily.
“I’ve told you everything. You have no business meddling with the Archaic Body cultivators’ affairs. You can leave now.” Vasker dismissed Jared. Jared glanced at Vasker coldly, then led Viola and the others away.
Although Vasker was despicable, Jared had no connection with the Archaic Body cultivators, so it wasn’t his place to care about their affairs.
However, right after Jared exited Vasker’s residence, he ran into Vasily, who wore a livid expression with two muscular men trailing behind him.
“Mr. Chance?” Vasily was surprised to see Jared.
“Vasily, didn’t you go back to the far north? Why are you still here in Jipsdale?” Jared asked puzzlingly.
Vasily sighed. “A great misfortune has struck my family. My younger brother stole the clan leader’s treasure map and fled to Jipsdale. I just found out that he’s selling the treasure map here, so I returned here to bring him back to face punishment.”
