“We will return the telepathic beast to you. We no longer want it. Now, release us at once,” Zander said to Catina.
However, Catina remained motionless, still holding Mayze down. Seeing this, Zander turned to Jared, realizing that only Jared’s words mattered at that moment.
“Tell me, what does the Soulless Hall want with the telepathic beast?” Jared asked Zander. Zander hesitated for a moment, furrowing his brows.
“Hmph! Tell me the truth, or else…” Catina intensified her aura, causing Mayze to let out a horrifying scream.
“I’ll tell you!” Zander hurriedly said. “There’s a traitor in the Soulless Hall. We need the telepathic beast to detect the traitor’s aura and find out where they are hiding.”
“A traitor?” Jared furrowed his brows, immediately thinking of Xanthus. “Is the traitor you mentioned, by any chance, Elder Fabrizio from the Soulless Hall?”
Zander was taken aback, disbelief filling his face as he looked at Jared. “How… do you know that?”
Jared narrowed his eyes slightly. “You don’t need to concern yourself with that. First, tell me, how did you all find out about Elder Fabrizio’s betrayal?”
“I cannot say,” Zander shook his head.
Jared instantly summoned the Dragonslayer Sword, placing it on Mayze’s shoulder.
“If you won’t say, then she shall meet her end…” Jared threatened.
“Zander, we mustn’t speak of it, or else the Soulless Hall will be finished. Elder Fabrizio’s betrayal has already put us in deep water. You mustn’t say anything further,” Mayze said.
Zander was filled with anxiety, caught in a dilemma.
Jared tightened his grip on the Dragonslayer Sword, and a fine cut appeared on the woman’s neck. Fresh blood began to drip continuously. Seeing that Jared was indeed about to take action, Zander hurriedly said, “Don’t do it. I’ll tell you…”
After a brief pause, Zander continued, “It was Mr. Cabeza of the Demon Seal Alliance who informed us. We are indeed cooperating with the Demon Seal Alliance. He said that Elder Fabrizio secretly attacked Mr. Xavion of the Demon Seal Alliance, which led to his death by someone named Jared Chance. Mr. Cabeza insisted that we provide an explanation. He is also in contact with the nearby branches of the Demon Seal Alliance, preparing to hunt down the man named Jared.”
“Does the leader of the Demon Seal Alliance know his son is dead?” Jared asked coldly.
“He doesn’t. If he finds out, I’m afraid neither the Soulless Hall nor Mr. Cabeza will survive. Everything I’ve said is true. Can you please release my sister now?”
“Of course I know what you said is true because I am the very Jared Chance you were talking about…” Jared said with a faint smile.
“You’re Jared Chance?”
Zander was filled with astonishment. He couldn’t believe that he had encountered Jared in the Spirit Beast Valley.
Mayze also looked at Jared with an incredulous expression.
“I am the real Jared Chance. Didn’t the Soulless Hall receive orders to hunt me down?”
Jared still had a smile on his face.
Zander’s face turned pale. He knew that he would not fare well in Jared’s hands. Mayze also slowly lowered her head. At this point, they had no choice but to accept their fate.
If Catina weren’t there, they could engage in a battle with Jared. Even with the assistance of the Spirit Beast Valley, they were not afraid.
But now, with Catina present, they were simply no match for them.
“Since we have fallen into your custody, feel free to kill or torture us as you please. Nevertheless, my master will undoubtedly seek revenge on our behalf,” Zander said with a cold tone.
