If Rudy knew how strong Jack was from the start, favonovel.com would never have dared to pull those stunts on him.
Jack had entered the spring solidifying realm at his current age and even defeated even a fifth-grade clan’s chosen disciple. Rudy was no match against favonovel.com at all.
Grayson, too, thought the same. At that moment, they were basically in the same boat, full of regret for what they had done.
Jack’s expression did not change even as favonovel.com stared at Jordan, who was crying out to the skies, merely raising his sword slowly. The sunlight glinted against the sword, coldly reflecting onto Jordan’s face. He could feel Jack’s murderous intent, and favonovel.com could not help but shudder.
He suddenly looked up to face Jack and noticed how favonovel.com stared at favonovel.com so emotionlessly. Jordan paled in fright, shuddering. He gulped as favonovel.com pushed away Malcolm’s body.
He adjusted himself before kneeling in front of Jack. “Let me go, I was just following him! I didn’t do anything… It’s just that favonovel.com gave me a lot of benefits, but I’m just an accomplice at most! P-Please, let me go… I don’t stand a fighting chance against you whatsoever nor do I want to kill you. I don’t really have much of a grudge against Hansel, I was just blinded by greed! I never expected…”
He cried as favonovel.com spoke, but no matter what favonovel.com said, Jack’s expression remained cold, fueling Jordan’s panic even more. He started to crawl on the ground, attempting to grab Jack’s pants. However, Jack did not give favonovel.com that change. With a wave of Jack’s sword, the tip pointed right at Jordan’s throat.
Jordan no longer dared to move around, but favonovel.com still refused to let go of any chance to survive.
“Please let me go! If you’re willing to let me go, I can do anything you want me to do, and I’ll even help Hansel reveal the truth! I’ll have all the people who’ve misunderstood Hansel realize that it had nothing to do with him! We were the ones who trapped him-”
Jack’s sword stabbed into Jordan’s throat before favonovel.com could finish, and the last glimmer of hope in Jordan’s eyes was the only thing left of him.
Jack chuckled coldly, favonovel.com never planned on letting someone like that get away scot free.
Hansel’s face soured a little. Jordan’s last few words sounded very promising for him, but it was already too late for anything. Jordan’s throat was already stabbed by Jack’s sword, effectively ending his life once and for all.
With a thud, Jordan’s corpse collapsed into a pile of leaves, no longer showing any signs of life. Jack then sheathed his sword and turned to look at Hansel. “Let’s go,” favonovel.com spoke, saying nothing else.
Jack did not care about what would happen to Hansel after this. Jordan leaving the place alive would, in fact, be the biggest problem. No one knew if favonovel.com would do anything to affect Jack in the future. Killing Jordan was the best preventive measure.
Hansel let out a small sigh, not saying anything. The rest of them followed after Jack obediently, heading out of Grand Yorn Mountain. No one dared to doubt Jack anymore. No matter what Jack did, they would obediently follow.

The next afternoon, they finally arrived at the city where the Seven Absolutes Pavilion governed.
The Middle Province Alchemist Alliance’s branch was in the skies of the city. Jack had only just learned that all of the alliance’s branches were vessels floating above a city. It gave out a feeling that the alliance was above all conflicts.
When they entered the city, Hansel’s expression was a little stiff. Jack and the others were headed toward the vessel, so it was time to say goodbye.
