Chapter 374 Different
Soon, the car finally rolled to a stop at the entrance of the venue. Dozens of investigators from the Department of Justice could be seen standing guard at every entrance, checking every vehicle.
Lizbeth walked over and advised, “Jared, you have to be careful. There are many people from the Jantz family, and all of them are experts. One of the cars just drove past the investigators and nobody knew who was in the car.”
“I got it.” Jared nodded.
Lizbeth waved her hand to let Jared’s car into the venue.
When they entered, they passed by some more investigators who were guarding the place. However, with Phoenix by his side, they easily gained access.
The moment Jared and Phoenix got off the car, they immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.
After all, the fight between Phoenix and Zachariah was the main event of the arena that day. Everyone was excited to see who will come out victorious.
“Mr. Jantz, isn’t that Jared?”
At that moment, Leonardo pointed at Jared, who was standing right beside Phoenix.
Zachariah frowned. He glared at them with eyes full of killing intent. After all, the enemy was right in front of him, and it was only natural for him to be angry.
“Why is Jared together with Phoenix?”
Zachariah was confused.
Leonardo shook his head as he didn’t know the answer to the question either.
“What the f*ck…”
Wilbur, who was behind Zachariah, was infuriated when he saw Jared. He immediately rushed toward him.
“Jared, you must have quite the balls to show up at this place! I will kill you today and avenge my sister!”
Wilbur stomped toward Jared and immediately threw a punch at him.
However, Jared didn’t dodge the punch, nor did he retaliate. It was Phoenix who reached out to grab Wilbur by the wrist and gave him a stern warning. “Wilbur, if you dare lay a finger on Jared, I will make your life a living hell.”
Phoenix’s tone sounded so threatening that it sent chills down Wilbur’s spine.
He was well aware that compared to Phoenix’s strength, he was evidently inferior.
“Wilbur, get back here!” Zachariah shouted at Wilbur.
Wilbur snorted at the two of them before turning back to Zachariah.
At the moment, the crowd had their eyes glued to Jared.
Recently, Jared’s name was prevalent among the martial arts families. However, many of them had never seen him in person.
“What the hell? This is Jared? He looks so young. How did he destroy the Whitaker family at such a young age?”
“Why is Phoenix with him? And why is she protecting him? Are they lovers?”
“Shush! Cut the nonsense! Be careful not to get yourself into trouble. Didn’t you hear her addressing him as Mr. Chance? Seems like the young man is not an average person.”
“Ooh, I bet a good show’s coming our way. It seems that the Jantz family and the Phoenix Regiment will be fighting to the death!”
Everyone began discussing among themselves. They were all looking forward to the fight.
Phoenix led Jared to his seat, and they were seated opposite the Jantz family. The people from the Jantz family glared at Jared with eyes full of anger, but Jared couldn’t be bothered by it. Instead, he kept his gaze trained on the person next to Zachariah, who was wearing a hat with his head lowered all while stuffing his face with snacks.
Jared couldn’t see the face of the man in the hat. However, he could feel a surge of spiritual energy from the man’s body.
Everyone in the martial arts world exuded a faint aura from their bodies. However, this man was surging with spiritual energy, and Jared couldn’t help but keep his eye on him.
“Did the Jantz family also recruit a cultivator?” Jared frowned slightly. But after some meticulous observation, he realized that the spiritual energy of that man was faint, unlike an energy cultivator.
“Be careful up there,” Jared warned Phoenix.
