Upon closer inspection, Jared calculated there were dozens of them, with each divine turtle carrying four to five people.
“Cosmic Sect,” Renault exclaimed as he looked closely. “Those people are from Cosmic Sect.”
Upon hearing that they were from Cosmic Sect, Jared immediately directed the divine turtle toward them. Likewise, the people from Cosmic Sect had noticed Jared’s group. Realizing that there were only a few of them, they began to encircle them.
The members of Cosmic Sect were astonished when they saw the divine turtle Jared and the others were riding.
Their divine turtle was significantly larger than theirs. “Renault, you’re still alive?” asked a middle- aged man in a black robe, looking quite refined.
“Ray, how can I die before you?” Renault’s eyes were filled with murderous intent. “Now that fate has brought you to me, I’ll ensure you meet a miserable end.”
Ray Thoran let out a cold laugh. “Are you kidding me? Haven’t you noticed that we’ve surrounded you? But I must admit, the giant divine turtle you’ve tamed is quite impressive. If you’re willing to hand it over to me, I may consider letting you off.”
Jared turned to Renault and asked, “Old Mr. Seizon, is this the guy from Cosmic Sect who attempted a surprise attack and stole your business?”
Renault nodded and replied, “Yes, he’s the vice sect leader of Cosmic Sect. I don’t know where they learned their turtle-taming techniques, but they’ve managed to tame many giant turtles, allowing them to easily cross the Night Sea and launch sneak attacks on us.”
“Turtle-taming techniques?” Jared froze for a moment before flashing a grin. “That’s quite an interesting skill. I wonder if their techniques are as impressive as mine.”
Hearing Jared’s words, Ray gave him a skeptical look and asked, “Young man, do your know how to tame turtles too? Did you tame the giant turtle you’re sitting on?”
“Yes, I tamed it,” Jared answered. “Now, I need you to sever ties with this divine turtle and hand it over to us.” Ray adopted at rather arrogant tone.
“Hand it over to you?” Jared smirked. “Are you my son or my grandson? Why should I give you the turtle? Call me Dad, and I might consider giving it to you.”
His words caused Renault to burst into laughter. Ray is the vice sect leader of Cosmic Sect. How could Jared cheekily ask him to call him Dad?
“Mr. Chance, wouldn’t it make you look too old if you have a grown-up son like him? You should get Ms. Tall to give birth to a chubby little boy for you and forget about acknowledging that old man as your son!” Cloud teased.
“Cloud, you’re talking nonsense. What makes you think I’ll give birth to a chubby little boy for him? Moreover, he has Feenix and Aislin, not forgetting Ms. Warwick. Who am I to give birth to his child…” Although Quinley was embarrassed, there was a hint of resentment in her words.
After all, all those girls had slept with Jared before. She had even heard their moaning and knew how much they enjoyed being physically intimate with him. Yet, Jared had not touched her, and that was why she felt a tad resentful.
Meanwhile, Ray was already seething with anger. Not only had Jared insulted him, but the others had also disregarded him as if he were insignificant.
“You’re still in the mood for flirtatious banter even when you’re about to die? Today, I’ll finish you off in the Night Sea!” Ray began letting out a piercing sound.
The divine turtle Jared and the others were riding on became visibly agitated upon hearing the sound. It twisted its body frantically.
Ray had employed one of his turtle-training techniques to agitate the divine creature. Jared gently stroked the back of the divine turtle’s head to calm it down.
