Not long ago, Cameron had looked down upon Jared’s capabilities. Now, Jared had completely outperformed him.
That was the power of talent. Being the head of the Nesser family, Cameron had cultivated with all sorts of resources, but he still couldn’t beat Jared’s speed in cultivation.
“You’re pretty good yourself, Mr. Nesser! You’ve made it past Third Level Tribulator, right?” Jared responded with a faint smile.
“I only did it a few days ago. It’s nothing compared to your achievements, Mr. Chance,” Cameron replied awkwardly.
Jared shifted his gaze toward the elderly man, who was standing next to Cameron, and asked, “Who is this man, Mr. Nesser?”
“Oh, he’s an elder of the Nesser family. He hasn’t shown himself in public for many years. He just decided to come visit Demonia Mountain with me this time,” Cameron replied.
Jared greeted the elderly man with a nod and a smile in response, but the elderly man showed no emotion whatsoever.
The expressionless look on his face gave off a depressing vibe, but Jared didn’t pay it much heed. After all, he wasn’t all that close to the members of the Nesser family.
After chatting with Cameron for a bit, Jared left with Cloud and Feenix. They had barely gotten far when Jared paused in his tracks all of a sudden. “I just recalled who that aura belongs to! It’s Skylar!”
Jared spun around, hoping to catch a glimpse of Cameron and gain a deeper understanding of the elder’s aura. However, Cameron and his group had already departed.
“What are you talking about, Mr. Chance? Who is Skylar?”
Cloud knew nothing about Jared’s life in the mundane world, so he had no idea who Skylar was.
“Whose aura resembles Skylar’s, Master?” Feenix asked in confusion.
“That elder from the Nesser family. I found his aura somewhat familiar, but I couldn’t recall who it belonged to. I just remembered that it resembles that of Skylar’s,” Jared replied.
He couldn’t recall it earlier because he had never thought about Skylar. Skylar is dead and comes from the mundane world, so how could he be related to the Ethereal Realm?
“Isn’t Skylar dead, Master? Even if he isn’t, he can’t possibly show up here. Did he become an inner demon of yours? Is that why you mistook that elderly man for Skylar? That elderly man is an elder of the Nesser family, so he should at least be a few hundred years old. He can’t be Skylar,” Feenix said.
“Yeah, maybe I was mistaken.”
Even Jared couldn’t bring himself to believe that Skylar would be associated with the Nesser family. Even so, he couldn’t help but admire Skylar’s development as the latter had once pestered him.
Skylar could be considered a talented individual. It was a shame that he had chosen to go against Jared. Those who had done so in the past had often met with unfortunate outcomes.
Jared stopped strolling around and returned with Cloud and Feenix. Hamish and Misho quickly ran up to greet Jared when they saw him return.
“How did it go, Mr. Chance? I heard it won’t be easy to get a token for the Celestial Battlefield!”
They were both worried that Jared would abandon them. If we can’t get a token, then we won’t be able to enter the Celestial Battlefield, rendering this journey fruitless! We even lost a few of our men along the way!
“Don’t worry, Mr. Chevalier, Old Mr. Giuvali. You can exchange spirit coins and resources for those tokens. I’ll have Cloud prepare them for you when the time comes, so there’s no need for you two to concern yourselves with this. VIP tokens, however, are extremely rare. I only have one on me right now, and it was a gift from a demon friend,” Jared said apologetically.
