Wynona kept her eyes shut, waiting for death to claim her. Yet, she could not stop her body from trembling.
Jared let out of a cold snort. “You think I’ll grant you an easy death? Not a chance!”
“Weren’t you in contact with Levi? Why don’t you call him to come and stop me?” he asked.
“Oh, I forgot,” he continued with a sarcastic smirk. “Levi is the arch-enemy of Erudia now. Everyone sees him as the big demon and wants to kill him. He can’t even protect himself anymore!”
Wynona gave him a murderous stare. “You’re more of a demon than he’ll ever be! You’re the big demon!”
She finally understood that evil came from the heart. It had nothing to do with how much of a threat a person was based on the power he or she possessed.
Levi and Jared were the best living proof of the logic!
Jared instantly carried a massacre the moment he obtained such destructive power. It was not the case for Levi.
At least based on Wynona’s investigation, Levi was someone who would go all out to defend Erudia and its citizens!
Keanu, who was standing beside Wynona, immediately stopped her. “What are you talking about? How could you compare Mr. Schmidt with Levi? Mr. Schmidt is smart and invincible, and he’s Erudia’s future! Don’t you dare compare him to that demon!”
Wynona took a sidelong glance at Keanu. What an opportunist. Did he forget the promise he made yesterday?
All of a sudden, Jared burst into laughter.
Keanu could not help but start to tremble.
Jared turned to him and asked, “Do you know what kind of person I hate the most?”
“I-I have no idea!” Keanu’s mind went blank.
“I hate people like Levi, and I hate people like you too!”
Upon saying that, Jared lay his hand on Keanu’s skull.
His palm emitted a wave of energy that penetrated Keanu’s head, causing the latter to bellow in excruciating pain.
Keanu’s body began to disappear, and within seconds, he vanished into thin air, leaving nothing behind.
Those who witnessed were struck dumb. What a vicious man!
“And you.” Jared then turned to Wynona. “I’ll keep you alive so that you can watch how I rise to the top!”
“Levi is a demon, right? Very well, I’ll mark him as my next target. Once I get rid of him, the Erudians will hail me as their hero! From then on, no one can stop me from becoming the number one on the Gem List!” Jared laughed maniacally.
“Master, I’m sure The Cardinal Hall would be pleased to know that you plan to go after Levi!” Suddenly, a few of Jared’s followers emerged from a dark corner.
Wynona trembled in anger. The real demon is now going after the hero in the name of justice? How ironic!
“What’s the situation now?” Jared asked.
“Someone captured Levi’s daughter and mother, and Zoey is with The Cardinal Hall now!” one of his men said.
A corner of Jared’s mouth quirked up upon hearing that. Zoey, Zoey. Why do I feel like I don’t have any feelings for you anymore? But don’t you worry, I’ll still make you mine!
Though his body had undergone alteration, Jared still retained his subconscious mind. Yet, he seemed to have lost all his feelings and emotions.
But it was clear that he already had a plan in mind. “I want you to take control of the entire Gamma Tech. Get them to work for me! Make sure to make full use of Lab Number One. I want them to be ready to work for me as soon as possible.”
With the return of his former troops, Jared had absolute control over the Gamma Tech training base now.
At this point, no one knew the most technically advanced training base had fallen into the hands of a demon.
“Next up, I’m going to hunt Levi and Zoey down!” Jared let out a mirthless laugh.
Despite knowing that another disaster was on its way, there was nothing Wynona could do, as they had locked her up.
