Jared had been doubting himself ever since he left Arthur’s office. The news that Arthur was going to die in a month had hit him like a sledgehammer to the chest. Jared had become somewhat dependent on Arthur and would often consult him whenever
he ran into difficulties. Arthur was both a mentor and a friend to him. Little did Jared know, Arthur was secretly watching him from the window with a faint smile on his face.
“Heh… I had to humble you a little. Otherwise, you’re going to overestimate your abilities!” Arthur mumbled to himself as he whipped out a bronze mirror, which had lots of complex symbols carved onto it. Arthur’s expression grew solemn when he saw that a few of those symbols were flashing.
Arthur shifted his gaze back toward Jared as he continued, “The true test has only just begun, and the enemies you will face from here on are a thousand times more terrifying. I hope. you can handle them…”
Jared turned around suddenly when he felt someone staring at him, but he didn’t see anyone. I have to strengthen myself as soon as possible! In order to speed up the process, I’ll have to start with the Eight Major Secret Realms! That way, I’ll be able to weaken Evil Heart Sect and absorb the power of those within the Eight Major Secret Realms at the same time.
With that in mind, Jared went straight to the Gunderson residence. He decided to bring Chester with him and start from the Gate of. Fire.
“The Gate of Fire’s secret realm has fallen into Zahrin Sect’s hands, Mr. Chance. Are you sure we can defeat Lamar like this?” Chester asked worriedly. Since Zahrin Sect had taken over the Gate of Fire’s secret realm, Chester feared that they would be no match for Lamar and his men.
“Which is stronger? Zahrin Sect or Waxing Crescent Castle?” Jared asked. “I’ve never actually tried comparing them, but I think Waxing Crescent Castle is stronger than Zahrin Sect, Chester replied.
“There you have it. I’ve wiped out Waxing Crescent Castle and killed Brad and his son. Why would I fear Zahrin Sect?” Jared said with a smile. “What? You wiped out Waxing Crescent Castle?
What happened?” Chester exclaimed in shock and disbelief. Jared then told Chester about the purple-robed emissaries of Evil Heart Sect, shocking him to the core.
“I can’t believe Evil Heart Sect has already infiltrated the Eight Major Secret Realms! I wonder if their men have made it into the other secret realms!” “I’m pretty sure they have, but that doesn’t matter. I’ll rid all the secret realms of those b*stards!” Jared replied with a murderous look in his eyes.
Tll go get Wayne. Once we’re ready, we’ll head out and get our revenge on Lamar!” Chester then rushed over to The Adamantine and told Wayne about Jared’s plans in detail.
Wayne and his sect members teamed up with the Gunderson family’s men before heading. over to the Gate of Fire’s secret realm with Jared.
Instead of using a Teleportation Array, Jared transported everyone over to the secret realm. using Thousands of Miles Away. Lamar assumed they could only get there using a Teleportation Array, so this allowed them to catch him by surprise.
“W-What is this thing, Mr. Chance? I can’t believe it lets us teleport to the Eight Major Secret Realms at will!” Wayne exclaimed in surprise upon witnessing the power of Thousands of Miles Away.
