Chapter 772 A Scheming Plan
Just as Jared was preparing to counterattack, he noticed Curtis’ body lurching backward suddenly.
The latter almost stumbled backward when he landed on the ground.
“What’s the meaning of this, Mr. Xuereb?” Curtis asked, frowning.
“He’s the one who killed my son. Hence, only I can take his life. You should just sit back and watch. What is it? Are you worried I won’t be able to kill him?” Hayden questioned.
Truth was, Hayden had read Curtis’ mind. That was why he stopped the latter.
Though Curtis was displeased by the situation, he did not dare to refute it and moved backward reluctantly.
“Young man, I’m going to tear you into pieces!” With that, a terrifying aura exploded around Hayden, and it came crashing down on Jared which suffocated the latter.
“Whether you can kill me is still an unknown fact.” Right then, Jared raised Dragonslayer Sword, which was making a buzzing sound as though it was giving Jared its support.
Seeing that, Hayden narrowed his eyes, placing all of his focus on Dragonslayer Sword. It was apparent that he was extremely interested in the sword.
Meanwhile, Jared noticed Hayden’s interest in the sword, which suddenly gave him an idea. Hence, he withdrew his energy, almost causing himself to collapse under Hayden’s.
Jared looked awfully despaired and seemed unable to gather his martial energy to fight against Hayden.
Seeing the depleting aura around Jared’s body, Hayden curled his lips into a smile. “Martial arts focus on slow and steady progress so that one can have a good foundation. I don’t know what methods you’ve used to achieve Senior Grandmaster at such a young age, but it’s useless in the end. Is it still uncertain whether I can kill you now?”
Jared looked terrible and was panting heavily. He then glanced at Hayden with a pleading look in his eyes, saying, “I’ll give you my Dragonslayer Sword. In return, you must spare my life. If you don’t promise me that, I’ll destroy myself along with the sword. I’m sure you know how valuable a magic sword is, right?”
Jared was planning to use Dragonslayer Sword to preserve his life.
Meanwhile, Hayden was perplexed. He did not expect Jared would make such a request.
Tommy and the others were equally shocked.
“What’s the matter with Mr. Chance? Has he gone mad? He’s killed Hayden’s son. Even if he gives the sword to Hayden, how could Hayden actually let him go?” Tommy asked, utterly puzzled.
“Mr. Chance is acting really weird today. This isn’t like him at all.” Phoenix glanced at Jared with a confused look, unable to understand what the latter was up to.
Nonetheless, Samuel did not say anything. Rather, he narrowed his eyes and studied the sight in front of him. Although he had only gotten to know Jared in a short time span, he was sure Jared was not the type who would compromise, nor was he a person who feared death. Hence, he believed there was a reason for Jared’s acts.
At the same time, Hayden, who was slightly taken aback, scrutinized Jared. He once thought Jared was a brave man. Never did he expect the latter to be a coward in the face of death.
Then again, Jared was someone who killed his son. It was impossible for Hayden to let him go. Nonetheless, he wanted to obtain Dragonslayer Sword before doing anything else. Thus, he nodded and said, “If you can give me the magic sword, I’ll spare your life. However, you still have to pay for the price of your crimes. Thus, you have to go up to the mountain and guard my son’s grave for three years.”
He did not dare to agree to his request so easily for fear of Jared becoming suspicious.
“Sure. As long as you don’t kill me, I’m even willing to stay there for ten years.” With that, Jared raised Dragonslayer Sword and threw it toward Hayden.
The latter surrounded himself with martial energy before stretching out his arm to take the sword, worried that Jared might play tricks on him.
As he held Dragonslayer Sword in his hand, he could feel its faint aura. With a flicker of the mind, Dragonslayer Sword buzzed.
