Chapter 387 Why Did You Stop Me
“You can’t kill me. I’m a part of the Crescent Sect. If you kill me, Mr. Quillen will go after you!”
Venicus gazed at Jared fearfully.
“Are you trying to threaten me?” Jared furrowed his brows. “I hate it the most when people try to threaten me!”
Jared did not give Venicus the chance to say anything. He simply struck the latter down, killing him instantly.
After the deed was done, Jared bent down and took the thousand-year-old ginseng from Venicus’ chest. His lips curled into a smile.
He kept the ginseng and shifted his gaze toward Zachariah.
Zachariah noticed Jared staring at him, and he immediately fell to his knees.
He was the head of the Jantz family of Summerbank and one of the four directors of Warriors Alliance. Yet, he was now bowing humbly in front of a young man in his twenties.
The crowd was staring at Zachariah with a bewildered look. A martial artist would rather die than get humiliated. Yet, the man before them was willing to humble himself just for survival.
However, Zachariah did not care what the world thought of him. For him, staying alive was more important than his reputation.
It’s useless to keep a good reputation if I’m dead.
“Mr. Chance, please spare my life. I am willing to offer up all the herbs of the Jantz family to you. Many of them are over a hundred years old!”
Zachariah pleaded to Jared.
“I am the man who killed your daughter and son. If I let you go today, will you try to avenge them should the chance arises?” Jared displayed a cold smile.
“No, I won’t! It was my son and daughter who offended you in the first place. They deserved it. If I dare to take revenge against you, I deserve to die too…”
Zachariah was willing to take an oath. He was desperate to do anything to keep his life.
Jared looked at Zachariah skeptically. Why should I trust someone who doesn’t care for his children? If I let him go today, he might attack me secretly tomorrow!
“Mr. Chance, you can’t let him go. He’s a cunning man. He will surely come back to take revenge…” Phoenix immediately advised Jared.
“Don’t worry, I am well aware of what I should do.” Jared smiled and glanced at Zachariah. “If you had defeated me, would you have spared my life?”
Zachariah was stunned momentarily as he stared at Jared fearfully. Just when he was about to say something, Jared lifted his hand.
“Hold on a second…”
The second before Jared made his move, Anthony rushed in and stopped him.
Following behind him was Lizbeth. When she saw that Jared and Josephine were fine and the place was littered with the Jantz family member’s corpses, she felt relief in her heart.
“General Long, why did you stop me?”
Jared stared at Anthony with a confused look.
“Jared, if you kill Zachariah, his brother will hunt you down. When that happens, the entire Warriors Alliance will be doomed,” Anthony uttered sternly.
“His brother?” Jared furrowed his brows. He did not understand what Anthony was implying nor who Zachariah’s brother was.
On the other hand, Luke was left in shock upon hearing that. “Isn’t Derek dead? How could he still be alive?”
“Derek is very much alive. He is the instructor of Jadeborough now, and he is powerful!”
Anthony shook his head.
Everyone froze on the spot as they seemed to know who Derek was. Only Jared and his subordinates could not wrap their heads around it.
“Hahaha. You can’t kill me. If you do, my brother will kill all of your families…”
Zachariah, who was kneeling, suddenly jumped up and let out a boisterous laugh.
“Zachariah, don’t get ahead of yourself. You were the one who cast your brother away to become the head of the Jantz family. You even sent your men to kill him. Even though he is still alive, I don’t think he will avenge you. I bet he even wants to kill you!” Luke snorted.
