Chapter 1185 Forced By A Threat Of Death
Lachlan’s face was deathly pale as he panted heavily. “You ingrate… You’re a traitorous son…”
Howard’s mother yelled at Lachlan angrily, “Say something, quickly! Hurry up and let that man go! If anything untoward happens to Howard, none of us should live either…”
As a mother, her only hope was to see Howard safe and sound. She could not care less about powers or cultivation. All she cared about was her son.
“I…”
Lachlan’s face was red. If I let Jared go now, I’ll never get another chance like this in the future. Misfortune may even befall our family!
However, his wife and son would continue forcing him to let Jared go if he did not do so. Hence, he found himself caught in a dilemma.
Enraged, Howard’s mother growled at Lachlan again, “What are you thinking? Don’t tell me you want me to die before you too!”
Left with no choice, Lachlan could only turn a blind eye and wave his hand dismissively. “Just go…”
Jared shot Howard a grateful look. Then, he turned and left swiftly without saying anything.
Looking at the rubble that was what remained of his mansion, Lachlan let out an exasperated sigh.
This situation is a prime example of going for wool and coming home shorn.
He was seething with rage but had nowhere to vent it. Since he could not take out his anger on his wife and son, the only person he could take it out on was the one who had sold him the energy-constraining pill.
In his opinion, everything had happened because the pill was a counterfeit.
Otherwise, Jared would already be rendered helpless and awaiting death, and all these wouldn’t have happened!
After leaving the Dunn residence, Jared dragged his exhausted body and hurried toward the Medicine God Sect.
He dared not remain in Jadeborough any longer. Initially, he thought it was a peaceful place. But after the events of that day, he finally realized he was still too naive.
Jadeborough’s martial arts world appears peaceful on the surface. However, there’s no saying whether something has already stirred within its depths. They might be watching me like a hungry pack of wolves or lions, looking for a chance to finish me off with a single blow. What I need to do now is to return to the Medicine God Sect and get Rayleigh to take me to the Village of Villains. The trump card I hold now is the Village of Villains. If I want to cultivate in peace, I need people to guard me, and there’s no one better than The Villainous Four from that village.
However, just as Jared was hurrying toward the Medicine God Sect, he suddenly sensed several auras rushing in his direction at lightning speed.
He furrowed his brows, and his face fell instantly.
“So soon? Could it be that the Dunn family’s men are gaining on me?”
Even as he pondered the matter, he did not stop moving. Instead, he continued picking up the pace.
He was tired to the bone. He had depleted his spiritual energy and even practically exhausted the Power of Dragons since he had not had time to cultivate and replenish his energy.
Although he had Thousands of Miles Away and the Pentacarna Tower with him, both of which could help him regain his strength swiftly, there was no time for him to stop. Hence, he had no chance of resting and refreshing his powers.
The auras drew nearer and nearer, and they even shifted into a formation to surround him.
Realizing the situation he was in, Jared knew he could not escape. Hence, he halted, quickly regulating his breathing and composing himself.
If I can’t run, then I’ll fight to the death!
Soon, a number of figures appeared, gradually closing in on him.
Coby gazed at Jared with a smirk and drawled, “Jared Chance, I didn’t expect us to meet so soon. You’re truly an elusive one. I’ve had a hard time tracking you down.”
Jared felt relieved when he saw that it was Coby.
As long as it’s not Lachlan coming after me, everything’s fine. Skylar is just a Top Level Martial Arts Grandmaster. Even as exhausted as I am, taking on Coby shouldn’t be a problem.
He looked at Coby disdainfully and uttered mockingly, “How dare you pursue me from Xenhall to Jadeborough? You think that the whole of Chanaea belongs to you, don’t you? I didn’t fight with you when we were in Xenhall, but now that we’re here, do you honestly think you have what it takes to kill me?”
