Category: A Man Like None Other

Chapter 1312 Boundless

Members of the Rowling family were so spooked by what they had seen and scurried off in every direction. Jared, however, quickly caught up to Raphael with a single stride.

“Where is Skylar?” asked Jared coldly. “Please have mercy. Don’t kill me…” The butler trembled in his boots. “Mr. Norton has been sent to the warehouse. I can take you there.”

Seeing how badly shaken up the man was, Jared loosened his grasp on him. “Try anything funny, and I’ll kill you.”

“No tricks, no tricks…”

There was no way Raphael was going to attempt any sort of deviousness under such circumstances. Considering that even Enzo was no match for Jared, Raphael knew his own limitations.

The quivering butler thus guided Jared toward the warehouse.

Meanwhile, inside the storehouse, Skylar’s eyes glinted as he examined those piles upon piles of medicinal herbs and crystals that were hoarded within the space.

“Just look at you. As much as you have managed to gather, these are far from enough to help you attain the level of Martial Arts Marquis!”

At that moment, a wizened inflection vocalized inside his head.

“Then how would I be able to reach the attainment of Martial Arts Marquis and slay Jared?” Skylar asked.

“It is only through absorbing other people’s strength that you’d be able to expedite your own progression!” the wizened voice replied.

“Are you asking me to practice Demonic Cultivation? To become a Demonic Cultivator?”

Skylar’s brows creased up.

“A Demonic Cultivator? What is a Demonic Cultivator in a world where the strong devours the weak? Doesn’t your family’s practice of robbing others of their resources constitute an expression of Demonic Cultivation in itself? In this day and date, where might is right, do you really believe that those fighters you had seen had not drained others of their essences?” the wizened voice inside his head asked in annoyance.

Skylar held his silence for some time before he spoke again. “How strong can you make me if I should choose to practice Demonic Cultivation? Will I be able to defeat Jared?”

“Hahaha… Are you kidding me? What is there to fear about a mere Jared Chance? If you do as I say, I can help you reach heights unimaginable. By that time, you’d have the entire martial arts world at your feet, and no need to be afraid of anyone…” the wizened voice let out a boisterous guffaw.

“Don’t tell me that you can enable me to become a Martial Arts Saint?” Skylar’s breathing grew more ruffled as he became more agitated.

To be clear, the prowess of the Martial Arts Saint far exceeded that of the Martial Arts Marquis, and for the longest time, Skylar had not heard of anyone attaining it.

As for the legendary level of Martial Arts Sovereign that surpassed even the Martial Arts Saint, he had always held them to be the stuff of pure fantasy.

“You’re being too short-sighted, for the martial way is boundless. You could actually go as far as to attain immortality! All you need to do is follow my directions closely. Let me reincarnate in your body, and I’d be sure to have you standing at the pinnacle of the martial arts world! You’d be its ruler and I’ll be able to slake my thirst for vengeance…”

The voice inside Skylar’s head softened, then gradually faded to nothingness.

Skylar was taken aback. “Can I ask you something? Who are you, exactly? Are you a Demonic Cultivator?”

He was still unable to understand the nature of the dark shadow that had attached itself to his body.

“A Demonic Cultivator?” the wizened voice scoffed. “They are but my lessers.”

Though Skylar did not reply, he keenly felt that the shadow embedded in him was no ordinary figure.

“M-Mr. Chance, Skylar’s right inside!” Raphael said as he pointed toward the warehouse.

Once he caught sight of the building, Jared promptly projected his own spiritual sense, and instantly picked up on Skylar’s presence.

In acknowledgment that the butler had been forthcoming enough, Jared said, “Now, beat it…”

The relieved butler then half scrambled and half fled out of there.

In the meantime, Skylar was about to commence his cultivation inside the warehouse when that wizened voice suddenly warned him, “Jared Chance is here…”

Chapter 1311 Acquiring It

He didn’t believe that Jared was capable of breaking the shield after being tormented to the brink of his death and losing his energy.

When Jared saw that Enzo didn’t intend to evade the attack, he sneered to himself. Boom!

The moment Jared’s fist landed on the shield, it instantly shattered and disappeared into thin air with barely any resistance. Surprised, Enzo wanted to dodge, but he realized it was already too late.

Jared’s fist smashed into Enzo’s face the very next second. Enzo, blood spewing and teeth flying, was sent flying by the impact.

He got back to his feet and gave Jared a baffled look. I don’t understand. How did he unleash such massive power when he was clearly dying a few seconds ago?

At that moment, half of Enzo’s face had sunken in, making him look ghastly.

“Go on now. Continue chanting the spell. I dare you to.”

Jared stared at Enzo, his tone derisive.

Now that half his face was disfigured and he had lost his teeth, Enzo could no longer speak properly, let alone incant a spell.

Taking a step forward, Jared hit Enzo with another palm strike.

The latter tried desperately to dodge.

Boom!

The impact sent Enzo flying instantaneously like a fallen leaf.

And then, Jared leaped into the air in front of Enzo and stomped his foot down on the latter’s body.

The corresponding impact sank Enzo deep into the ground, physically breaking him.

“Ah!”

Enzo roared furiously as that was all that he could manage. After all, he had lost the ability to speak.

When Jared lifted his leg, the grisly figure of Enzo climbed up from the ground.

Despite staring daggers at Jared, he was no longer capable of molding any aura, which had all but dissipated by then.

“Where’s Skylar? Tell me, and I’ll give you a quick death,” Jared asserted.

Enzo didn’t respond, for he was unable to speak. All he did was bring out the coffee pot from earlier.

After raising its spout to his lips, Enzo poured some coffee into his mouth.

Jared gave him a curious look. He’s on the brink of death. How can he still have the mood for coffee?

However, the moment the coffee entered Enzo’s stomach, his aura began to rise rapidly.

Sensing the change in Enzo, Jared immediately understood something and attacked the former with his fist.

He couldn’t allow Enzo to recover his strength. Otherwise, they would be locked in an endless battle.

When Enzo saw the incoming strike, he threw the coffee pot in Jared’s direction.

As the pot spun rapidly in the air, a splatter of coffee was flung out of it.

In the blink of an eye, the coffee took the form of liquid arrows that shot at Jared, carrying the energy of heaven and earth.

As the number of liquid arrows grew exponentially, they turned into a rain of arrows that came raining down on Jared in every direction.

“So the coffee pot is a magical item…”

With a golden hue glowing from his body, Jared deployed the Golem Body again.

When the rain of arrows made contact with Jared’s body, the repeated clangs of metal filled the air.

Even though the individual arrows did not carry much power, the sheer density of the combined attack was enough to cause Jared irritation.

Piece by piece, the scales of his armor began to drop and gradually disappear.

Reacting swiftly, Jared pulled out the Dragonslayer Sword and brandished it to create a vacuum that shielded his body from the rain of arrows.

Then, he released the sword to allow it to spin on its own accord. Leveraging the shield it was providing him from the arrows, Jared used the opportunity to leap into the air.

From there, he struck Enzo’s head with his palm, blowing it up into mush.

Enzo, with his aura disappearing instantly, collapsed onto the ground.

Now that Enzo dropped dead, the coffee pot fell to the ground, as there was no one left to control it.

Reaching out with his hand, Jared picked it up. After giving it a quick examination, he put it in his Storage Ring.

Chapter 1310 Let Us Have Some Fun

Martial art techniques relied on energy, while magecraft depended on mental energy. Watching Enzo’s magecraft unfold, Jared deduced that Enzo was well-versed in magecraft as well. In fact, it seemed as if he was more skilled in magecraft as compared to martial art techniques.

“Since you’re challenging me to a contest of magecraft, let me play along with you,” Jared sneered. “Hahaha, do you think you can beat me in magecraft? You must have a death wish.”

Enzo broke out in unrestrained laughter. Instead of replying, Jared began making hand seals, causing the ground to shake violently. The next moment, as if something was moving underground, wall after wall of earth rose up from the ground.

When the light emitted by Enzo struck the earthen walls, they were quickly destroyed one by one. Watching the scene in front of him, Enzo laughed with growing arrogance.

“Kid, don’t you know that magecraft requires strong mental energy and powerful hand seals? How dare an inexperienced fool like you challenge me on this?”

Just as Enzo spoke, his body suddenly disappeared together with the pillars of light before emerging right above Jared’s head.

As the pillar of light entrapped Jared within it, an insidious smile broke out on Enzo’s face.

“Let’s see how strong your spiritual sense is.”

Just as he spoke, Enzo began chanting a spell.

In a split second, continuous sound waves began to pulsate down the pillars of light, causing Jared to feel as if there were countless mosquitoes buzzing around his ear.

His brows knitted together as a sullen expression descended upon his face.

He had never encountered such an attack before where his Golem Body was useless against it.

Suddenly, an excruciating pain struck him in the head, driving him mad.

The sensation felt as if his brain had been turned into mush.

Watching Jared suffer, Enzo guffawed ecstatically, “Hahaha, even with the Golem Body and your powerful energy, you’re still as weak as an insect when standing before me.”

At that moment, the last thing Jared wanted to do was listen to Enzo gloat. Holding his head with both hands, he was clueless as to what sort of magecraft was Enzo wielding.

With throbbing veins popping up on his forehead and eyes turning blood red, Jared grimaced intensely from the pain.

Just when Jared felt that he could no longer take it and was on the brink of killing himself, the sound of a bell suddenly rang in his mind.

Ding!

The brain fog he was mired in suddenly cleared up.

However, his brief respite was quickly interrupted by the return of the intense headache.

Nonetheless, as if something had occurred to him, Jared quickly began his own chant.

Soon, his heart began to calm down while the headache he felt slowly faded away.

The chant he recited was the calming incantation, which coincidentally could repel Enzo’s magecraft.

Despite his delight, Jared kept it to himself and pretended to still be in tremendous pain.

Seeing how the tormented Jared was finally brought to his knees, Enzo finally stopped his incantation.

“Jared, I will slowly torture you to avenge my son.”

While Enzo was speaking, he descended from the air and struck Jared’s shoulder with his palm.

The impact caused Jared to stagger forward while the scales of the Golem Body fell off him and turned into dust.

“Hahaha, now that you have lost the Golem Body, let’s see how you’re going to take me on.”

Enzo cackled triumphantly.

“Even without it, I still do not fear you.”

Jared had hardly finished when his entire body trembled upon the release of an explosive aura.

As for Enzo, he no longer saw Jared as a threat.

As he watched Jared throw a powerful punch at him, Enzo waved his hand in a casual manner, drawing a glimmering shield in front of himself.

Through the transparent shield, Enzo stared at Jared with a faint smile on his face.

Chapter 1309 Battle Of The Beasts

“Jared, don’t get carried away. You’re standing in the Rowling residence and have no right to negotiate with me,” Enzo retorted viciously.

Faced with Enzo’s refusal to hand Skylar over, Jared, his eyes brimming with murderous intent, disappeared in a flash and reappeared right in front of Skylar. Sensing the impending danger, Enzo hastily backpedaled. However, before he could get away, Jared’s kick bore down on him.

The tremendous power behind the kick caused the sound of shattering bones to echo through the courtyard as Enzo’s body was sent flying away. By the time Enzo was helped up by his men, he noticed his chest had collapsed into a crater.

The sight alone was enough for him to realize what had happened. Staring at Jared frantically, Enzo had never imagined that he would be defeated by Jared in a single strike.

As for the rest of the Rowling family, they too were equally shocked by their leader’s defeat. After all, they were cognizant of Enzo’s strength and the fact that he was one of the top fighters in Marsingfill.

“Let me ask you again, where is Skylar?”

Giving Enzo a deathly stare, Jared’s voice sounded as if it had reverberated out of hell itself.

“I don’t know.” Enzo seethed through his gritted teeth.

With a wave of his hand, a sword suddenly appeared in it.

The magic sword, glowing like obsidian rock, continuously emitted an intimidating and icy aura.

“Do you think you’re the only one with a magic sword?” Jared sneered before reaching his hand out for the Dragonslayer Sword to appear in his grasp.

As a raging inferno flickered from the sword, the intense heat swarmed the whole area.

Just like that, the swords of fire and ice faced off against each other.

Looking at the Dragonslayer Sword Jared was holding, Enzo scoffed, “I have with me a magic sword I obtained from Terrandya which is capable of cutting through metal like butter. Are you really going to go against me with the sh*tty toy of yours?”

Enzo had barely spoken when he began to channel his pulsating energy into his magic sword.

With the injection of martial energy, Enzo’s sword began to hum as it emitted an infinite amount of frost, covering the surrounding area with a blistering iciness.

“Now, die!”

With a slash of his sword, the sword energy he unleashed began to howl as it gradually took the form of a white polar bear. Baring its razor-sharp teeth, the bear charged forward to attack Jared.

Jared, with a cold look in his eye, thrust the Dragonslayer Sword forward to meet the attack.

All of a sudden, a dragon’s roar echoed in every direction.

The raging flames carried by the sword energy evolved into a fiery dragon that charged toward the polar bear.

With that, the two majestic beasts engaged each other in battle.

At the sight of the soaring dragon, Enzo’s expression froze, especially when he realized that Jared was also wielding a magic sword.

All he saw was the dragon breathing fire before grabbing the polar bear with its claws and ripping it apart.

In the blink of an eye, Enzo’s sword energy dissipated into the air while Jared’s continued gliding toward Enzo.

Enzo frantically raised his sword to block, but alas, he was still thrown back by the explosive impact.

The moment his body crashed into the ground, the magic sword in his hand cracked before shattering into pieces.

Climbing back to his feet, Enzo gave Jared a grave stare.

“Where’s Skylar?” Jared demanded, returning Enzo’s glare.

Enzo didn’t reply but a glow appeared from his feet as he started chanting a spell.

Soon, the light shot into the sky and encapsulated Enzo within it.

At that moment, Enzo gradually ascended into the air within the pillar of light that formed, just like an immortal soaring into the heavens.

“Jared, you might possess the Golem Body and be brimming with energy, but don’t you forget that beyond martial art techniques, there is still the power of magecraft.”

No sooner had Enzo finished than rays of light shot out of his body.

A terrifying power bore down on Jared in every direction, almost swallowing him whole.

Chapter 1308 Amateur Tricks

Judging from the result of the attack, it was clear that Enzo wasn’t David’s equal in terms of power. Since Jared didn’t even fear David, there was no reason for him to see Enzo as a threat.

At the same time, Enzo was utterly shocked when he saw Jared unharmed and was only pushed back slightly by the impact. In the midst of Enzo’s bewilderment, Jared clenched his fists. Once a golden ray of light had culminated upon it, he swung a devastating punch at Enzo.

With his body floating in mid-air, Jared engulfed Enzo with the terrifying energy he unleashed. Sensing danger, Enzo threw both his fists forward to fire out a shockwave. As the shockwave began twisting into it a whirlwind, it clashed head-on with Jared’s vortex.

Boom! Boom! Boom! In spite of that, Enzo failed to stop the attack and felt the full brunt of its impact, which forced him to backpedal multiple steps before finally steadying himself.

“It would be rude for me not to return what you dish out. Given that this is all you have, it’s clear the Rowling family’s strength doesn’t live up to its reputation,” Jared remarked in disdain.

Gritting his teeth, Enzo stared daggers at Jared with his narrowed eyes.

Meanwhile, Jared stood there quietly, his aura calm and nary an expression on his face.

All of a sudden, Enzo pulled something out of his pocket with his fingers and flicked it at Jared.

Multiple streaks of white light could be seen shooting in the latter’s direction, encapsulating him so that he had no means to dodge.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Amidst the string of crisp shrills ringing out, sparks were ignited in all directions. Subsequently, a few chess pieces fell onto the ground, shattering into dust.

“Are you trying to use chess pieces to pierce my Golem Body?”

Jared was baffled as to what Enzo was thinking. After all, it was impossible for the Golem Body to be destroyed by a few meager chess pieces.

However, Enzo’s expression drastically changed, for those were not ordinary chess pieces.

Instead, they were made of Terrandya adamite which was an exceptionally strong material. Therefore, when the chess pieces struck their target, they would imbue the target’s body with icy energy that would soon cause their target to freeze to death.

As a result, the chess pieces were the perfect weapons to kill someone in a clandestine manner.

Unfortunately, Enzo didn’t expect the impregnable material of Terrandya adamite to fail to even leave a scratch on Jared’s Golem Body.

“As expected of the Divine Safeguard. It truly is powerful.” An icy glint flashed across Enzo’s eyes as he spoke.

Nonetheless, he didn’t panic and began gesturing to form hand seals.

As flashes of light began breaking through the gaps of Enzo’s fingers, they soon congregated into a massive pillar of light.

The next instant, the pillar of light shot at Jared like a laser.

That was how Enzo planned to shatter Jared’s Golem Body.

However, Jared was unfazed, for the Golem Body was capable of withstanding even David’s self-destruction, let alone Enzo’s trivial magecraft.

As the pillar of light struck Jared’s body, one could observe the scales of his armor gradually change.

“Hmph, what a puny trick.”

Jared snorted before forming hand seals of his own. With that, he swept his palm down at the pillar of light and chopped it in half.

“H-How is that possible?”

Enzo’s shock drained the color from his face. He had not expected anyone to be capable of severing his pillar of light.

Right then, Jared’s insane power struck fear into the depths of Enzo’s heart.

“I can perform plenty of other impossible feats. Anyway, I’m here to get you to hand Skylar over, and I’ll spare your life if you cooperate,” Jared declared coldly.

“Skylar?”

Enzo was stunned, for it never crossed his mind that Jared had come for Skylar.

Nevertheless, Enzo had no intention of turning Skylar in. No matter what, the latter was the one who brought news of the death of his son and brother.

Furthermore, Skylar was the only one left of the destroyed Norton family, all the more reason for Enzo not to hand the former over.

Chapter 1307 Seeking Justice

“There’s no need to do so. Am I not standing right in front of you?” Jared sneered. “What? You’re Jared?” Raphael scrutinized Jared in surprise. Jared nodded. “That’s right. It’s me in the flesh.”

“You’re a gutsy kid to dare come here after killing Mr. Coby and Mr. Gonzo. It seems that you no longer wish to live.” Raphael had barely finished when the two Eighth Level Martial Arts Grandmasters behind him suddenly leaped into the air.

Without giving Jared the chance to reply, both of them unleashed their attacks. In the meantime, Jared furrowed his brows, puzzled by what Raphael had said.

Even though Coby and I are enemies, I didn’t kill him nor have I met Gonzo before. So why is the butler accusing me of doing so?

Just when Jared was lost in his thoughts, his two attackers appeared right in front of him.

As the two released their explosive auras, the howl of a whirlwind could be heard coming from their fists.

However, Jared didn’t even bother to give them a look as he casually slapped out his palm.

A powerful gale was subsequently unleashed, striking his attackers and sending them flying before their attacks could connect.

It wasn’t till their bodies crashed into the wall that they finally slumped onto the ground.

What looked like an ordinary slap had killed two Eight Level Martial Arts Grandmasters by causing their organs to explode.

The shocking scene almost floored Raphael who was trembling all over in fear.

Looking at the terrified Raphael, Jared barked, “Go and get whoever’s in charge to come out here.”

Too afraid to utter another word, Raphael hurried to the back.

There, Enzo was still drinking coffee, thinking nothing of the commotion until he saw the panicked Raphael barging in.

“Mr. Enzo, Mr. Enzo, there’s trouble. Jared is here. Jared is here!” Raphael yelled at the top of his voice.

Slap!

To everyone’s surprise, Enzo gave Raphael a forceful slap.

“So what if he’s here? Do you have to lose your decorum by raving like a madman?”

Glaring at Raphael, Enzo questioned, “Who did Jared come with?”

“Alone. He came alone and just kicked down the main door,” Raphael replied anxiously.

“He came alone?” Enzo’s brows knitted slightly. “What a gutsy kid. I was just about to seek him out, and now, he turns up at our front door.”

“Mr. Enzo, Jared is really strong. He has just killed two of our Eight Level Martial Arts Grandmasters with a single blow,” Raphael reported.

Enzo replied in an indifferent tone, “Regardless of how powerful he is, I will bury him along with my son now that he’s here.”

No sooner had Enzo spoken than he walked out to the front courtyard with Raphael following closely behind.

The moment Enzo laid eyes on Jared, his eyes burned with murderous intent.

“Kid, you killed my family and even had the audacity to barge in here looking for trouble. It’s clear that you have no respect for the Rowling family at all.”

Enzo clenched his teeth as the martial energy within him began to rage turbulently.

“Why should I have respect for the Rowling family? Members of the Rowling family attacked the Village of Villains and killed my subordinates. Therefore, I’m here today to seek justice for them.”

The murderous intent within Jared began to swell too.

Regardless of whether the men were from the Village of Villains, Shadow Estate, or even Medicine God Sect, they were all Jared’s subordinates. Many among them had either perished or were injured in the battle against the Marsingfill martial arts world.

It was a result that Jared would never accept.

“Seeking justice? My words are justice itself,” said Enzo.

A terrifying look descended upon Enzo’s face as he continued. “Since you’ve come, there’s no way you’re going to leave.”

Enzo had hardly finished before he attacked with his fist. The terrifying energy he unleashed ignited a raging wind.

Considering that he was the leader of the Marsingfill martial arts world, he certainly wasn’t one to be trifled with.

Just that punch alone had caused the sky to darken and the air to zing.

Responding to the situation, Jared’s body began to glow with a golden hue as the Golem Body instantly enveloped him.

Boom!

As the powerful vortex that was created by the punch struck him, Jared staggered back two steps with the scales on his chest showing cracks. In spite of that, they didn’t fall off.

Chapter 1306 Get Him Out Here

After Enzo came out of seclusion, his butler, Raphael, updated him on the latest developments. He was consequently outraged when he learned that the Rowling family, together with Marsingfill’s martial arts world, suffered a devastating blow while he was training in seclusion.

Now that the once-dominant Rowling family had been utterly defeated, the respect the Marsingfill martial arts world used to show them had turned into ridicule. Consequently, there was no way Enzo could tolerate such humiliation.

“Mr. Rowling, given that Jared has killed my father and destroyed the Norton family, he is now my mortal enemy. Therefore, I hope that you can lend me a hand. Once I achieve the level of a Martial Arts Marquis, I will tear him limb from limb. As for his subordinates, I will wipe out every single one of them,” Skylar declared with an insidious look in his eye.

“Mr. Norton, don’t worry. The Rowling family is rich with cultivation resources. In fact, I’ll have my men take you to the warehouse now. Inside, you’ll find plenty of herbs and crystals for your use. Feel free to expend as many as you need,” Enzo offered with a wave of his hand.

“In that case, I can’t thank you enough, Mr. Rowling.” Skylar expressed his gratitude before being led to the warehouse by Raphael.

In the meantime, Enzo held up his coffee with an icy glint in his eye. As he exerted a little strength, the coffee cup shattered into pieces.

“Jared, I’m going to chop your body into pieces,” Skylar declared through gritted teeth.

Meanwhile, Jared was hurrying toward the Rowling residence as fast as he could. It wasn’t until a full day had passed before he arrived in Marsingfill.

Enzo was sitting cross-legged in the courtyard, sipping his coffee leisurely.

In front of him was a bronze coffee pot. Despite it being empty, coffee would flow out of its spout whenever Enzo took it and gradually tilted it, which was a magical sight indeed.

In truth, the bronze pot was a magical item that had been handed down through generations of the Rowling family and contained the energy of heaven and earth.

As a result, the coffee in the pot was the best cultivation resource.

At that moment, Jared, who had arrived at the entrance of the Rowling residence, was staring at the main gate with a piercing gaze.

He was cognizant that the defenses of the Village of Villains wouldn’t have been easily broken by the Norton family if the Rowling family hadn’t led the Marsingfill martial arts world to attack it. As a result, the Rowling family was also responsible for the blood that was shed in the village.

“Rowlings, here I come.”

The murderous aura Jared exuded began to swell.

If not for his search for Skylar, he wouldn’t have hunted the Rowling family for the time being. After all, he still had plenty to deal with in Jadeborough.

Staring at the main door, Jared gave it a forceful kick.

Boom!

The meters-tall door collapsed underneath the power of Jared’s attack.

Enzo, who was in the midst of drinking coffee in the courtyard, got to his feet with his eyebrows tightly knitted.

“Raphael, go and check what’s going on outside,” Enzo instructed.

As a result, Raphael led a group of men and rushed to the front courtyard to investigate.

After watching Raphael leave, Enzo sat back down and continued enjoying his coffee.

The way he saw it, no one would ever dare cause trouble at the Rowling residence. Thus, it was definitely an accident.

Upon arriving at the front courtyard with his men, Raphael was greeted by the sight of Jared standing in the center with the gate lying on the ground.

“Who are you? How dare you trespass upon the Rowling residence! Do you have a death wish?” Raphael bellowed at Jared.

“Where’s Gonzo? Tell him to get out here,” Jared asserted coldly.

Raphael, who was momentarily stunned, responded with a hostile look, “Who are you? Mr. Gonzo has died a long time ago. What business do you have with him?”

Raphael assumed that Jared had come for revenge. After all, Gonzo had made plenty of enemies throughout Raphael’s tenure as a butler.

“He’s dead?” Jared’s face fell. “How did he die?”

“He was killed by someone named Jared Chance. Now that Mr. Enzo has come out of seclusion, he is going to seek out this Jared for revenge.”

Raphael was entirely unaware that the Jared he spoke of was standing right before him.

Chapter 1305 Getting More Complicated

“That’s not what I want to know. Didn’t you realize that even though you have achieved the rank of a Martial Arts Marquis and entered the Warriors Alliance, you’re still powerless despite your strength?” Mr. Sanders elaborated.

Slightly stunned, Jared knitted his brows.

I did feel helpless inside the Warriors Alliance in spite of my power. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t even destroy a house. In fact, I wasn’t even able to open the main door to the Warriors Alliance’s dungeon! Nonetheless, it wasn’t like I didn’t do anything inside. After all, I did kill many within the Warriors Alliance, and no one was able to stop me as I made my way around.

When he saw the look on Jared’s face, Mr. Sanders smiled as if he could read the latter’s mind. “Don’t you also feel that you can slaughter your way in and out of the Warriors Alliance with no one to stop you and that they aren’t such a big deal after all?”

Although Jared was staring silently at Mr. Sanders, that was the exact thought that crossed his mind.

Jared was now brave enough to challenge the president of the Warriors Alliance, Zion. In fact, he didn’t even see the elders as a threat anymore.

Mr. Sanders then took a sip of coffee before continuing, “I have reminded you many times that what you’re looking at is just the tip of the iceberg. If the Warriors Alliance or the martial arts families with trump cards are all that you see, the martial arts world of Chanaea would naturally be ridiculed by the entire world. I can tell you that even though Zion is the president of the Warriors Alliance, he is nothing but a puppet chosen to be a public face. The powers that are behind him are significantly more terrifying. Therefore, do you think your current strength is sufficient to take on the Warriors Alliance?”

The revelation came as a shock to Jared, causing a drastic change in his expression. If Zion is nothing but a puppet, those that control him must be tremendously powerful!

“I don’t care how strong the Warriors Alliance is. All I know is that I need to destroy them in order to save Josephine.”

Jared’s eyes were filled with conviction. He would definitely rescue her against all odds.

“Are you only going against the Warriors Alliance? Don’t you also have the Deragons to deal with?” Mr. Sanders reminded Jared with a sudden grin.

Jared’s heart skipped a beat as he stared at Mr. Sanders with a curious and confused look in his eyes.

It was as if the latter knew of his identity together with his enmity with the Deragons.

By then, Jared was increasingly mystified by Mr. Sanders.

At the sight of Jared’s confused expression, Mr. Sander’s smile deepened. He added, “If you want to find Skylar, you can start with the Rowling family of Marsingfill.”

Jared, with widened eyes, stared at Mr. Sanders in disbelief.

He couldn’t fathom how in the world Mr. Sanders knew that he was seeking out Skylar.

“All right. You can go now.”

Before Jared could even react, Mr. Sanders got up to leave.

Even when Mr. Sanders was gone, Jared continued to remain in shock.

“Mr. Chance, Mr. Chance…”

Theodore called out softly to Jared.

“Ah!” It was then that Jared regained his senses and strode out of the Department of Justice.

From there, he headed directly to Marsingfill to see the Rowling family. Along the way, he contemplated Mr. Sanders’ identity but failed to make any headway.

Meanwhile, at the Rowling residence, Skylar was their honored guest.

“Mr. Rowling, now that Jared is formidable after having achieved the level of a Martial Arts Marquis, you have to prepare yourself if you want to seek revenge on him,” Skylar suggested to Enzo who was sitting in the center.

Even though Enzo was wearing an icy expression, rage could be seen burning in his eyes.

“Hmph! Jared has killed my brother and son. No matter how powerful he is, I will turn him into dust.”

Enzo, with gritted teeth, exuded a turbulent aura.

Chapter 1304 Teleportation Device

At that moment, Chike and Darius exchanged murderous glances with each other. Taking advantage of Jared’s unawareness, both of them launched a surprise attack.

Bearing down on Jared with one on each side, they unleashed palm strikes on Jared’s back. Upon impact, both of them turned and fled, afraid to linger any longer.

Jared stumbled forward, his organs churning inside him. His eyes subsequently glistened with murderous intent. He dashed forward, looked at the fleeing duo, and threw a pair of punches in their direction.

Subsequently, two blistering vortexes rocketed out from his fists and drilled a huge hole through the two men’s backs and out from their chests.

Thud! Thud!

Dropping onto their knees instantly, the duo widened their eyes with nary a breath left in them.

Without even bothering to look at the two corpses, Jared scanned the surroundings and bellowed, “Zion, you old b*stard, come out right now!”

Despite his thunderous roar, no one answered. It was as if everyone from the Warriors Alliance had already left.

In the end, the disheartened Jared left the Warriors Alliance. Before he did, he even turned back and gave the artificial rockery one last look.

“Josephine, don’t worry. I’ll definitely rescue you. I swear…”

With that, Jared wandered helplessly through the streets of Jadeborough.

So what’s the point in me desperately achieving the level of Martial Arts Marquis? I can’t even open the main door, let alone save Josephine from inside.

Without him noticing, he had walked into an alley beside the Warriors Alliance. The last time he saw Josephine was when Skylar brought him to the Warriors Alliance’s dungeon with the use of his teleportation device.

As the thought struck him, Jared’s eyes lit up.

If I can’t get in through the main door, I can use a teleportation device to infiltrate the dungeon and rescue Josephine. But where am I to find one?

Jared fell into deep thought again. Now, I know that Skylar has one. As long as I can find him, I can get my hands on it after killing him. But where’s Skylar now?

Without knowing Skylar’s location, it was impossible for Jared to seize the teleportation device from the former.

Just when Jared was at his wit’s end, Theodore came to him.

“Mr. Chance, you really are here! It seems that Mr. Sanders was right after all,” Theodore exclaimed in surprise.

“General Jackson, what can I do for you?” Jared asked curiously.

“Mr. Chance, Mr. Sanders would like to see you. He sent me here to invite you over. Little did I expect him to correctly predict that you would be here,” Theodore explained.

“Mr. Sanders wants to see me?”

Jared’s brows furrowed slightly. Given that he had killed David and disrespected Mr. Sanders in public, Jared had no idea what the latter suddenly wanted to see him for.

Regardless of what it was about, Jared followed Theodore back to the Department of Justice out of the debt of gratitude he owed Mr. Sanders.

Upon strolling into the Department of Justice’s lobby, Jared saw Mr. Sanders sitting at the main seat.

Every time Jared saw the latter, he would experience a strange sensation.

In fact, Jared had tried many times to probe Mr. Sanders’ strength with his aura but was never successful.

Even though Mr. Sanders looked like an ordinary person and didn’t exude a single aura, his presence alone had always compelled Jared to treat him with deference.

In fact, Jared even felt a faint sense of fear when facing him.

“Have a seat,” Mr. Sanders flatly remarked upon Jared’s arrival.

Jared gave him a nod before taking a seat by the side.

“After barging into the Warriors Alliance today, did you learn anything or have any thoughts about it?” Mr. Sanders asked calmly.

Jared pondered a moment before replying, “I found out that the Warriors Alliance is working with Demonic Cultivators. In fact, I fear that there may be many of them hiding within the organization.”

Chapter 1303 The Entrance To The Dungeon

Amon’s body kept shuddering, and his face contorted in agony. It appeared as though he was suffering excruciating pain.

“You Demonic Cultivators should also get a taste of what it feels like to have your energy and powers drained out of you…”

At that moment, the expression on Jared’s face was cold and cruel.

Soon, Amon’s body started shrinking and shriveling until all that was left was a tiny heap of skin and bones on the ground.

After witnessing Amon’s gruesome death, the remaining three men fell into stunned silence.

They had always relied on absorbing the essence of others to increase their strength, but it never crossed their minds that the day would come when they would have their powers drained from them.

Jared flicked his finger lightly, and a ball of blue flame fell onto Amon’s corpse, swiftly burning it to nothing.

Shaking like a leaf, Bes turned to Jared and said, “J-Jared, we bear no grudges or harbor any enmity against you. I hope you can let us go. The one you’re looking for is the Warriors Alliance, and we’re not one of them!”

“Where’s Zion?” Jared asked icily.

Bes shook his head. “I don’t know either. Perhaps he’s in the backyard.”

Gazing at the thoroughly shaken trio, Jared waved his hand and removed the Restricted Space.

“Take me to the Warriors Alliance’s dungeon now,” he said to them.

“We… We don’t know how to open the doors to the dungeon. President Zeigler was always the one who brought us in,” Bes responded, his voice barely above a whisper.

In a frosty tone, Jared replied, “All you need to do is take me there. Whether or not the doors can be opened is none of your business.”

Looking at Jared, Bes asked, “T-Then if we take you there, can you let us go?”

As soon as those words fell from Bes’ lips, Jared’s eyes blazed with murderous intent. “Are you negotiating with me?”

Then, Jared’s palm flashed with golden light as he grabbed at Bes.

Before Bes could react, Jared had caught hold of him, and the martial energy in his body started draining rapidly. Within tens of seconds, all that remained of Bes was a pile of bones.

Chike and Darius were so horrified that they nearly wet themselves.

They could not help cursing Zion inwardly.

What a powerful opponent! Zion sends the four of us to our deaths while he’s nowhere to be seen!

Fixing his gaze on Chike and Darius, Jared uttered coldly, “The two of you shall take me there.”

“Yes, of course…”

They nodded vigorously and led Jared to the backyard.

Neither of them dared to make any sudden movements. After leading Jared over to a stretch of artificial rockery, they pointed to an opening in the rocks and said, “This is the way to the dungeon…”

“You two go in first,” Jared said as he pointed at the cave’s entrance.

They dared not say anything, heading straight in while Jared followed behind.

They had not gone far before they saw a massive pair of gates.

The gates were bronze-colored, and carved into the gates were two lion heads. They looked quite terrifying.

“We don’t know how to open these gates. Only President Zeigler can open them,” Chike said in a trembling voice.

Jared studied the gates for a moment, then walked over and lightly placed a palm on them.

Thinking of spreading his spiritual sense into the dungeon to investigate, a burst of spiritual sense streaked forth.

However, just as it appeared, something seemed to block its path.

Although his spiritual sense was not cut off, there was no way for it to enter the dungeon.

Jared lifted his hand, and with his palm illuminating a golden light, he slammed hard onto the gates.

He had used a lot of force, but even so, nothing happened after he struck the gates.

There was not even a sound. It was as though the force he exerted had disappeared upon touching the gates.

Furrowing his brows, Jared slammed his palm against the gates again.

Although sweat drenched Jared’s forehead after repeating the action several times, the gates still did not budge in the slightest.
