“We were friends of the head of the Summers family, specifically visiting to pay our respects, not to cause trouble,” Jared said calmly and peacefully.
“Friends of the head of the family?”
Vilhelm glanced at Jared, then sneered, “How could the head of the Summers family possibly have a friend like you? Are you trying to infiltrate the Summers family, hoping to obtain some charms? I’ve encountered plenty of people like you. Regardless of whose friend you are, if you want to acquire the arcane arrays and charms, you must pay with spirit coins.”
“I truly am a friend of the head of the Summers family. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the head of the family himself,” Jared said, furrowing his brow.
“The head of the family is in seclusion, so there is no way for us to ask him,” Vilhelm said, rolling his eyes in exasperation.
“You could ask Jacques and his sister, Jennifer. They know me as well,” Jared suggested.
“I won’t ask anyone. You all had better leave immediately, or I will use force!”
Vilhelm waved his hand, and a dozen cultivators surrounded Jared and Cloud. Jared’s brow furrowed, his expression turning ominously cold and fearsome.
He had simply come to visit the Summers family. He hadn’t expected the members of the Summers family to be so unreasonable.
Although Jared couldn’t quite articulate what had specifically happened, he had a vague feeling that something seemed to have gone wrong with the Summers family.
“I won’t leave until I have seen the head of the Summers family today,” Jared said coldly.
“Very well, if you won’t leave, then I’ll have to drive you away!”
With a subtle signal from Vilhelm, over a dozen cultivators simultaneously launched their attacks toward Jared and Cloud.
Those cultivators included First Level Tribulators, Second Level Tribulators, as well as Body Fusion Realm cultivators. It was evident that the overall strength of the Summers family was still relatively weak.
“I really didn’t want to resort to this, but since you insist on forcing my hand, don’t blame me for what happens next!”
Jared’s aura erupted in an instant.
No one saw how Jared moved, but more than a dozen cultivators from the Summers family were all sent flying in the blink of an eye.
Jared couldn’t care less about the First Level Tribulators and Second Level Tribulators, let alone the Body Fusion Realm cultivators, who couldn’t even get close to Jared. They were blown away by the aura that Jared exuded.
Upon seeing what was before him, Vilhelm’s expression instantly turned to shock. He shouted angrily, “You audacious brat! How dare you pretend to be weak to deceive us? Do you think those in the Summers family are pushovers? Set up the arcane array! Neither of these two people shall leave today!”
The Summers family was renowned as a lineage of magecraft experts, hence they were the most proficient in setting up arcane arrays.
No sooner had Vilhelm finished speaking, than a terrifying aura suddenly swept over them. Vilhelm was forced to back away again and again, while the other cultivators all fell flat on the ground.
“Is this how the Summers family treats their guests? The head of the family personally invited us, and now he’s avoiding us?”
Catina slowly walked in from outside.
The aura of Catina, who was a Seventh Level Tribulator, made Vilhelm’s expression incredibly unpleasant.
At first, he had no respect for the abilities of Jared and Cloud. But now that Catina has shown up, Vilhelm dared not underestimate them anymore.
“You must be the Fox Queen from the three kings and four archons, right? My apologies for any disrespect…”
Vilhelm recognized Catina and quickly approached to ingratiate himself. Catina gave Vilhelm a cold glance, snorted dismissively, and said, “Summon the head of your family. I don’t have time to waste with you.”
“Fox Queen, the leader of our family, has indeed retreated from public life…”
Vilhelm found himself in a difficult situation.
“What about his two children?” Catina inquired.
“Um…”
Vilhelm hesitated, unsure of how to answer.
“Mr. Vilhelm, as they are Tyler’s long-time friends, please invite them inside and ask Jennifer to join us. They have traveled a great distance, after all.”
Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe approached and spoke.
