Chapter 423 I Will Not Join You
Meanwhile, Josephine’s hands were trembling as she fumbled out her phone to give Jared a call. Before she could call out, Jared was already calling in.
“Jared, there are two men from Crescent Sect here and they look pretty formidable. They are currently in the living room, while I have locked myself in the bedroom!” Josephine reported to Jared anxiously.
Jared’s heart sank when he heard her words, as he knew a bedroom door wasn’t going to stop the men from Crescent Sect at all.
“Wait inside the bedroom, I’m arriving very soon!”
Just as he spoke, Jared increased his pace to his maximum. He traveled so fast that he could hear the wind howling in his ear.
Back in the living hall, the two intruders from Crescent Sect didn’t intend on breaking down the bedroom door. Instead, they sat on the couch and continued to chat.
“Jared is really something to be able to create an ultimate shielding tool. If we are able to recruit him, he would definitely become a major asset for Crescent Sect,” Darkwing commented in admiration.
Dreadwing shook his head. “Given how proud he is, there’s no way he’s going to join us. You’d better not waste your effort.”
“Hmph, regardless of how much pride he has, there’s no way he can escape my Soul Grabbing Technique. When the time comes, he will do whatever I order him to!”
Breaking into a smile, Darkwing raised his right hand which was being enveloped by a cloud of black mist.
Right at that moment, Jared barged into the mansion. When he saw the two intruders sitting on the couch instead of attacking the bedroom, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At the sight of Jared, the two intruders sprang to their feet, looking surprised.
“Are you Jared?” Darkwing asked.
They didn’t expect Jared to be so young. Given his achievements at this age, he definitely has the potential to become Crescent Sect’s leader if he joins us.
“Are you from Crescent Sect?” Jared asked with a frown.
Darkwing replied with a nod, “That’s right. We are the Darkwing and Dreadwing of Crescent Sect. Since you have killed our comrades, we would definitely not rest until we have our revenge. However, taking into consideration your youth and skills, we will spare your life if you’re willing to join us!”
“Hmph!” Jared snorted. “I’m not interested in joining an unscrupulous group like Crescent Sect. Today, you will pay with your lives for scaring my wife!”
Dreadwing ranted in agitation, “Didn’t I tell you that there’s no way his pride would allow him to join us? Stop wasting time, and let’s just get this over and done with!”
“Be patient, and let me handle this!”
With a smirk on his face, Darkwing increased the intensity of the cloud on his right hand. With a flick of his finger, he then shot it in Jared’s direction.
When he saw the impending attack, Jared was delighted by it. Pretending to have failed at dodging it, he let the black mist enter his body.
The moment it did, Jared absorbed it right away. Subsequently, he began to use Focus Technique to process it.
Darkwing burst into laughter when he saw that Jared didn’t avoid his attack. “Haha, kid, how dare you behave so brazenly with such lousy skills. Now that you have been struck by my Soul Grabbing Technique, you will have to obey my instructions unconditionally!”
As for Dreadwing, he was briefly stunned. “With that kind of skill, how did he manage to kill Venicus and Zedekiah? Could they have been assassinated instead?”
Darkwing replied with contempt, “That must be it. Venicus is a lecherous man who falls prey to women easily. Considering how pretty Jared’s wife is, Venicus might have been killed after falling into a trap!”
While they were talking, Jared quickly digested the black mist inside his abdomen. After that, he feigned surprise and asked Darkwing, “What kind of trick was that? Why did it disappear with a flash?”
