Chapter 1052 Pigheaded
The killers slumped to the ground under the pressure. They could not even lift their heads up.
Fear took hold of them, so much so that they even wet their pants.
Never before had they felt such a suffocating air, and they knew in their hearts that this man’s power would be unbearable for them.
“Who sent you guys?”
Jared got out of the bed slowly and walked over, looking down at the Ruthless Four who were kneeling on the ground.
The four shuddered in terror, yet none of them said a word.
It was their principle to never give the names of the people who ordered the hit.
Although they were unnerved by Jared’s presence, they still held on to their principle.
Jared smiled when none of them replied. “You guys had better stop being so pigheaded before I show you who’s more intractable here.”
With that said, Jared lifted his hand.
Swoosh!
A golden beam of light swept through before them, and before they could make sense of what was happening, Gamma’s hands were already on the ground.
Blood spurted out from where his limbs were cut off.
“Argh!” Gamma screamed in pain.
Jared hurled him another blow in his face as he shrieked. When everything was over, Gamma’s jaw was already indented, and he could not even speak anymore.
The rest were chilled when they saw the atrocity wreaked on Gamma.
When Alpha saw that, he knew he had to bend. “Sir, we apologize for what we did today. If you’re so kind as to let us go, we promise you will never see us again. We will also ensure your safety as long as you’re in Southernshire.”
“Who do you think you are?” Jared questioned with a smirk. “I don’t need you to guarantee my safety.”
The assassins lay prostrate on the ground when they realized they were in no place to bargain.
“Hey, stop being so full of yourself. Who do you think you are? We don’t even know you, so don’t you dare—”
Beta glared at Jared as he spoke.
“So you want revenge?” Jared cut him short.
“So what if I tell you my name? What can you do? Listen. I’m Jared Chance. Go ahead and seek me out if you want revenge. I’ll be waiting, but I would be more worried about getting out alive if I were you.”
The four could sense from his tone that Jared was piqued and was thinking about killing all of them.
“Jared Chance?”
They were thunderstruck when they heard that name.
“The one who killed Ichiro Watanabe and challenged the Deragons at the martial arts forum?”
Alpha was the first to recall.
“So you know me?”
Jared honestly did not expect anybody in Southernshire to actually know him, but from their pale faces, it was apparent that they did.
“Of course we know you, Mr. Chance. I’m so sorry for the blunder tonight. We wouldn’t have come if we had known it was you. Freddy Wood is the name you’re looking for. Please forgive us. We were just following orders,” Alpha explained.
The Ruthless Four, especially Beta, were so remorseful that they kept bowing to Jared. At the moment, Beta was no longer acting arrogantly.
“Why did he want us dead?” Jared asked.
Alpha shook his head in earnestness. “We have no idea, Mr. Chance. Freddy has always killed people for their money. You might want to think if you have anything valuable with you that he’s interested in.”
When Jared heard that, he finally understood why Freddy wanted to kill them. He must be after the antiques at the auction.
That’s why he offered to send us back with his cruise ship. I bet he was thinking about getting rid of us and chucking us into the sea. What a sly old fox!
