Chapter 325 Come At Me
There was no sign of fear on Renee’s face. Fueled by pure anger, she lunged at Dorieus.
Unfortunately, she was currently just an average girl who was no match for Dorieus. With a harsh slap, Renee was sent flying backward.
“If you wish to kill me, then you better obey me. Serve me well and become one with me, then perhaps you’ll get the chance to slit my throat.”
With that, Dorieus pounced at Renee like a leopard would its prey.
“You animal! Let go of me!” Renee struggled to free herself from his grip.
Rip!
A large piece of Renee’s shirt was torn off.
On the other side, Jared and Leonidas were sprinting up the mountain. Jared moved so abnormally fast that Leonidas could barely keep up.
Soon, Phantom Monastery appeared before them. Jared felt his heart sink when he saw the dilapidated building. Who would be in such a run-down monastery?
“Mr. Chance, this monastery was an abandoned monastery before Dorieus took over and named it Phantom Monastery. All the monks who reside here are irredeemable criminals who had come here to escape imprisonment,” Leonidas explained.
Jared nodded in understanding. That means that I can kill everyone in the monastery without guilt! With that in mind, he barged into the monastery.
The monks who had been cleaning were stunned to see Jared and Leonidas at the entrance to the monastery.
No one ever visited the desolated monastery, so the sight of two strangers made the monks wary.
“Who are you two? What are you doing at Phantom Monastery?” A monk interrogated as he pointed the end of a broom at Jared and Leonidas.
Diomedes heard the monk’s booming voice from where he stood in the hall and quickly rushed over.
The moment he laid eyes on Leonidas, Diomedes smirked. “Senior, I didn’t expect you to come here so quickly. Have you settled Erasmus’ funeral already?”
“Diomedes, you traitor! I swear I’ll kill you today!”
Rage overtook Leonidas when he saw Diomedes. He exploded in anger and charged at the grinning prior.
However, Jared quickly intercepted Leonidas’ attack and demanded, “Where’s Renee? I know you kidnapped her. Where are you keeping her?”
The only reason Jared had held Leonidas back was to find out Renee’s whereabouts.
Diomedes gave Jared a disdainful glance and countered with a question of his own. “Who are you? You’re just an insignificant youngster. How dare you interrupt?”
Diomedes had assumed that Jared was Leonidas’ disciple due to his young age.
Jared revealed the Starry Compass in his arms and challenged, “I was the one who killed your disciple, Falcon! I was also the one who snatched the Starry Compass from his dying hands. If you want to seek revenge for your beloved disciple, come at me!”
The sight of the Starry Compass ignited Diomedes’ wrath. “So you were the one who murdered my disciple! I’ll make sure that you’re six feet under by the end of today!” he spat in anger.
An air of malice surrounded Diomedes as he ordered, “Charge! Kill this man and take back the Starry Compass!”
Heeding his command, the monks bared their teeth and surged toward Jared.
Unfazed, Jared raised his hand to fend them off when he suddenly heard the terrified scream of a girl. Though it was a soft cry, Jared could hear it clearly. After all, his auditory perception was currently far better than the average human’s.
The shout had traveled from the back of the monastery. Jared was positive that it was Renee’s voice, which could only mean one thing—Renee was in danger!
“Abbot Leonidas, hold them back while I save Renee!”
With that, Jared swiftly maneuvered his way around the monks and dashed toward the hall.
“Stop him!” Diomedes’ ear-splitting shriek pierced the air as he extended a hand to block Jared.
“You traitor! It’s about time I cleaned up my following.”
Leonidas brandished his cane and lunged at Diomedes.
With Diomedes preoccupied, Jared took the opportunity to burst into the hall and kick down the wooden door to the hidden room.
