Chapter 769 No Confidence
Meanwhile, a group of men who were wielding scimitars stood behind the two men. Each of them had a defensive look on their face.
“Who the hell are you guys? How dare you insult Mr. Chance?” someone raged at the group of uninvited men.
The middle-aged men gave the person a stern look. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past, and that martial artist who spoke up earlier collapsed to the ground instantly. His eyes were still wide open, and there was a tiny slit on his throat.
The scene caused everyone to gasp in shock. Anyone who could join the Martial Alliance was the top fighters of Jazona and Nuthana. Although that person who spoke up just now had just entered the Senior Grandmaster rank, he was still a Senior Grandmaster. It was unbelievable that he was killed without having the chance to react.
“If you don’t want to die, then get lost. Tell Jared to come out and see me.” The middle-aged man swept his gaze over the crowd, his murderous aura causing everyone at the scene to be frozen to the ground.
None of them dared to move, as though they had knives at their necks.
Knowing the Herb Palace was supported by the Baileys, Spencer tried his best to recollect himself and step forward to ask, “Young man, I’m the Palace Chief of Herb Palace, Spencer. May I know who are you? And why are you looking for Mr. Chance?”
“Scoot,” the middle-aged man merely uttered a single word, but Spencer looked as though he received a powerful punch that sent him flying into the air and slamming hard onto the ground.
“I’ll say this one more time. Tell Jared to come out or all of you are going to die.” The intensity of the middle-aged man’s murderous aura increased. Most of the members of the Martial Alliance could not handle the pressure, and they stumbled to the ground instantly.
“You’re a mighty leader of Empyrean Sect and a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Don’t you find yourself shameless, showing off your strength in front of a group of Senior Grandmasters?” Just then, Jared stepped out of the room in a calm manner, with Tommy and Phoenix following closely behind him. Even Lyanna and Samuel came along. However, all of them had somber expressions.
After hearing Jared’s words, everyone’s expression changed drastically. So he’s a Martial Arts Grandmaster. No wonder he’s such terrifying powers.
Then again, Jared had killed a Martial Arts Grandmaster before. Even Xander, who was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, was also killed by the former. Hence, as soon as Jared revealed himself, the crowd did not feel as frightened as before.
Seeing Jared walking out of the room, the youngster beside Hayden pointed at the former and said wrathfully, “Mr. Xuereb, that man’s Jared. He’s the one who killed your son, Carlos. And that woman behind him is Lyanna from Mapleton.”
That man was none other than Curtis whom Jared defeated earlier, yet decided to let him go after being stopped by Lyanna. Instead of escaping, Curtis secretly informed Hayden about the news and tagged along to take his revenge.
“You’re such a shameless person, Curtis. You ungrateful bast*rd! Jared let you go just a while ago, and now you have the guts to come here and take revenge?” Lyanna fumed, glaring at Curtis.
“Stop it with the nonsense. He’s the one who made me look like this. I’m going to kill all of you today!” Curtis’ face distorted with rage, his gaze filled with hostility.
“Once the fight begins, you guys should escape as soon as a chance appears. Since both of them are working together, I’m not feeling really confident about this,” Jared whispered to the people beside him while remaining deadpanned.
If it was Hayden alone, Jared would not be afraid since he had Dragonslayer Sword to increase his power. Now that Curtis was present as well, there was no telling who would win the fight.
Although there were many people around, the most powerful fighters were no more than Fifth Level Senior Grandmasters. They would not be able to help once the fight started.
Hence, Jared could only let them escape before looking for an opportunity to flee. Otherwise, no one would be able to leave the place.
“Mr. Chance, we’ll handle them. You should escape first. Don’t worry. It doesn’t matter if we die, as long as nothing happens to you,” Tommy said with a straight face.
