Chapter 369 Such A Coward
“How did you know Phoenix?”
On their way back, Lizbeth asked Jared curiously.
“What do you mean?” Jared played dumb.
“Stop pretending in front of me. Why would the head of Phoenix Regiment be so polite with you? Don’t tell me that she’s interested in you…”
Lizbeth sat in the passenger’s seat and stared at Jared closely as though she wanted to get some clue out of Jared’s expression.
Yet, there was no trace of emotional turbulence on his face.
“Hmm… maybe you’re right. Who knows? After all, all women like handsome men!” Jared joked.
“Stop fooling around. If you don’t want to tell me, then get out of the car. I’m not going to interfere in your business from now on!” Lizbeth threatened.
Jared flashed her a weak smile. He then told Lizbeth about the incident where he went to Phoenix Bar with Oliver and got into a conflict with the Phoenix regiment. That was how he encountered Pheonix later on.
However, he did not tell Lizbeth that Phoenix was the subordinate of the Dragon Sect. He only said that he defeated Phoenix in the end. That was why the latter treated him respectfully.
“You defeated Phoenix?” Lizbeth was overwhelmed with shock.
“Why are you so surprised by that?”
Jared stared at Lizbeth with a puzzled look.
“Well, if you could defeat Phoenix, maybe you can defeat Zachariah too. Zachariah became a Grandmaster of internal energy a long time ago. I heard Phoenix, too, had become one. We won’t need to fear the Jantz family if that’s the case!”
Lizbeth’s face was filled with excitement. If Jared can defeat Zachariah, everything will be settled!
“I thought I told you earlier that the Jantz family has never been a problem for me?” Jared scoffed.
“All right. Stop bluffing. The Jantz family has other elites other than Zachariah, you know. You still need to be careful.”
Lizbeth tried to put out the flames of pride in Jared’s heart.
On the other hand, Jared did not care how many elites the Jantz family had. After all, martial artists were not in the same league as energy cultivators. There is nothing for me to be afraid of!
It was already midnight by the time they arrived at Lizbeth’s place. Lizbeth felt sleepy, and she planned to rest after freshening up. That was when Oliver arrived.
When Oliver entered the room and saw Jared lying on the couch, he let out a surprised yelp.
“Oliver, why did you come at this hour? And what’s with the fuss?” annoyed, Lizbeth growled at Oliver.
“Lizbeth… Isn’t he dead?”
Oliver trembled incessantly as he pointed at Jared on the couch.
“Dead?” Lizbeth was dumbfounded.
Just then, Jared opened his eyes and stared at Oliver. “Who told you that I was dead?”
“How could you possibly be alive after offending the Phoenix Regiment? Did they let you go?”
Oliver could not wrap his head around it.
Jared smiled and ignored Oliver. This guy is such a coward.
“What nonsense are you spouting? This is all your fault, to begin with, since you’re the one who took him to the bar and offended the Phoenix Regiment. Luckily, everything is fine now!”
Lizbeth proceeded to tell Oliver how Jared defeated Phoenix at the bar.
She also told him how Phoenix behaved respectfully toward Jared.
Oliver was overwhelmed with excitement upon hearing that.
“D*mn. Jared, you’re the man! Did you really defeat Phoenix? Does that mean we don’t have to be afraid of the Phoenix Regiment from now on?”
Oliver walked over to Jared and squatted down to look at him.
Seeing that Jared was not responding, he continued to say, “Jared, why aren’t you sleeping in the same room with Lizbeth? In this era, it’s normal to sleep together before marriage. In fact, it would be just fine even if you guys have a baby before that!”
