Chapter 537 Vigilance
“Going forward, I hope no one will threaten me again because I simply hate it.”
The moment Jared released his grip, Jasper dropped onto his butt with a thud.
Turning pale after having a brush with death, Jasper couldn’t even get back on his feet.
Elijah hurried to help Jasper up. “All of you should just listen to me! I’m not lying.”
When Liam saw that Jared had let Jasper go, he sheathed his weapon. Having been convinced, he replied, “Fine, we’re willing to listen to Mr. Chance. I hope you will be able to force the parasite out of our bodies.”
“Stretch out your hand,” Jared instructed calmly.
When Liam was stunned, Elijah quickly explained, “Liam, Mr. Chance wants to help you expel the parasites!”
After he understood what Jared was going to do, Liam extended his hand at once. With a tap of his finger, Jared sent a red ray of light into Liam’s body. The next moment, Liam struggled in excruciating pain. Finally, he opened his mouth wide before a blood-red worm burst out from it.
The moment it landed on the ground, it slithered into the shadows to avoid the sunlight.
When Jared saw that the parasite was still alive, he stomped his foot on it to squash it to death.
Meanwhile, the elders were dumbfounded by what they saw. They had not expected Jared to be able to force out the parasite.
Thump! Thump!
Lucas and Jasper dropped to their knees in front of Jared. “Mr. Chance, we beg you to remove the parasites from our bodies too!”
After living on the edge for so many years, they had had enough of it. After all, no one was willing to have their lives held in the hands of others, where a simple change in mood would result in their deaths.
“Give me your hands,” Jared plainly instructed.
After Lucas and Jared stretched out their hands, Jared used the same method to expel the parasites from their bodies.
At that moment, the four elders were ecstatic and thanked Jared profusely.
Meanwhile, in the grand hall of Crescent Sect, Fabian was feeling distinctly ill at ease. A bad feeling rose in him as if something terrible had occurred.
“Men!” Fabian shouted.
One of his subordinates approached at once. “Yes, Mr. Quillen!”
“Has Liam brought his men to investigate the matter?” Fabian asked.
“He took Lucas and Jasper with him,” his subordinate replied.
“Mmm-hmm.” Fabian waved his man away.
Right after the subordinate left, Fabian noticed a violent disturbance within the clay vessel, which had never happened before.
Startled by the development, he quickly opened it and saw that three of the biggest parasites inside were dead.
“H-How is that possible?” At first, he was shocked, but that quickly turned into rage.
“Who? Who dared kill the four elders?” he bellowed into the air. His scream was so loud that it reverberated throughout the entire valley.
In fact, Jared, who was approaching the Crescent Sect base, could even hear it.
Pausing briefly, Liam then explained to Jared, “Mr. Chance, after crossing this icy lake, you will find the place where Fabian is located. However, you have to be careful, as the lake contains many of the venomous or poisonous creatures he keeps. If you are bitten by them, you will die instantly from their venom. Also, these creatures do not attack those with parasites inside their bodies. Now that we had ours removed, we won’t be able to get across anymore.”
“In that case, do you usually traverse it in a boat?” Jared asked curiously.
“That’s right. We usually cross it in small boats. Nonetheless, I heard that there are stone columns within the lake that one can step on to cross. Unfortunately, no one other than Fabian knows where they are,” Liam elaborated.
“It appears that he is an extremely vigilant man,” Jared commented with a smile.
