Chapter 746 Alone
Everyone from the Empyrean Sect was stunned when they saw Carlos vanish before their eyes.
They were so terrified they didn’t even feel anger anymore. At that moment, they felt as though Jared was a deity from heaven. It was undeniably a mind-blowing sight.
Lyanna gaped in disbelief as well when she saw even the bones had vanished into thin air. How is that sword so powerful?
After keeping his sword, Jared looked at Lyanna and said, “All right, Carlos is dead. It’s time for us to go.”
Lyanna nodded and followed Jared out of the Empyrean Sect. The people from Mapleton were following close behind as well.
As he was walking past the members of the Empyrean Sect, Jared didn’t forget to throw them a glance. Upon seeing that, they all scrambled away in fear. Not only did they not stop him from leaving, but none of them dared to even look Jared in the eyes.
After leaving the Empyrean Sect’s vicinity, the five leaders and the people of Mapleton tried to keep Jared and Lyanna with them, but the duo had no desire to go back to Mapleton.
After all, Jared only agreed to go to the Empyrean Sect for the spirit spring. He had no interest in the well-being of the people in Mapleton.
Although Jared knew the Empyrean Sect would definitely go after Mapleton again should they fail to seek revenge on him, he had no obligation to keep the people of Mapleton safe.
That was the reality of the feuds between those clans. The weak ones would always get pushed around. The only way to survive was to strengthen oneself instead of relying on others to offer protection.
The two of them got on a plane and headed for Horington. After a few days apart, Jared was starting to miss Josephine and the others. Especially now that he had found out Josephine was of fiery constituent. I wonder what she could achieve after cultivating.
However, Josephine and Lizbeth were nowhere to be seen when Jared and Lyanna arrived at the mansion at Dragon Bay.
Jared tried calling, but he couldn’t reach either of them.
After that, Jared called William and Walter to see if they knew where Josephine and Lizbeth were. He was starting to get worried when neither of them knew where the girls were.
Right then, Jared remembered Rayleigh was with them when he left. They should be fine. After all, not a lot of people in the martial arts world can take Rayleigh on.
After a whole day of searching, Jared still couldn’t find them. His calls to Rayleigh were to no avail as well. In the end, he decided not to search for them anymore. Since they’re all together. I guess nothing bad can happen.
With July 15th fast approaching, Jared decided to start his cultivation. Coincidentally, that was when Tessa arrived with a carload of spiritual stones.
Tessa was surprised when she saw Lyanna in the mansion with Jared. Although she had already seen Josephine and Lizbeth around, she still couldn’t help but feel upset when she saw another pretty lady with him.
“I never knew you kept so many women by your side, Mr. Chance. It seems like you’re getting an endless stream of beauties.” A hint of jealousy could be heard in Tessa’s voice.
“You’ve mistaken, Ms. Snyder. She’s just a friend of mine,” Jared answered helplessly.
“Just a friend? Yet, the two of you are staying alone together. Where are Ms. Sullivan and the rest?” Tessa took a cursory glance at the mansion and asked.
“They’ve gone out. By the way, perhaps you should just get someone else to send these spiritual stones in the future. I mean, isn’t it a bit weird for you, a superstar, to do it by yourself?” Jared didn’t want Tessa to send those spiritual stones because he could tell that she had feelings for him. Since he didn’t feel the same toward her, he would rather not lead her on.
“Why? Is it because you don’t wish to see me?” Tessa’s expression suddenly turned grim. “I know you have an abundance of stunning ladies around you. However, am I worse than any of them in terms of looks and status?”
“This is a misunderstanding, Ms. Snyder! That’s not what I meant!” It was an awkward moment, and Jared was having trouble trying to explain himself.
