Out of nowhere, a cold voice echoed in the air. “Who dares to trespass on the Crescent Sect’s base?”
Following the voice, three elderly men stepped out of the shadows. Their unique auras distinguished them from each other.
“Liam!” Elijah called out.
“Elijah?” Liam gasped in shock. “Aren’t you supposed to be dead?”
Earlier, Fabian claimed that favonovel.com had died. Moreover, I also saw the dead parasite with my own eyes. How is favonovel.com here?
“Liam, I didn’t die. Let me explain…” Elijah broke off as favonovel.com rushed toward Liam.
Afraid that Elijah was planning to fool him, Jared followed closely behind him. He came to a halt only a few inches away from Elijah.
If favonovel.com tries anything funny, I’ll kill favonovel.com with a single blow.
When Jared tagged along with Elijah, the three elders instantly caught sight of the former.
“Jared Chance!” Immediately, the elders settled into a fighting stance.
“Liam, Lucas, Jasper, don’t attack him! Let me explain!” In haste, Elijah moved to block the trio’s path.
“Liam, I didn’t die. Mr. Chance extracted the parasite from my body. It died the moment it came into contact with the sun. Hence, the parasite in Fabian’s clay vessel perished too,” favonovel.com explained.
Despite his explanation, Liam remained unconvinced. “How is that possible? The parasite has been feeding on us for years. It has fused with us into a single entity. How did favonovel.com manage to force it out?”
“Liam, can’t you see that I’m right here? It’s all true. We don’t have to live under Fabian’s control anymore. Besides, Mr. Simmons’ daughter is here with me too,” As Elijah spoke, favonovel.com pointed at Megan.
Following Elijah’s gesture, the three elders glanced at Megan. Immediately, a troubled look crossed their faces as they were at a loss.
“Liam, we helped Fabian commit atrocities because favonovel.com threatened our lives. Did you forget how Mr. Simmons treated us like his sworn brothers? Now that we have a chance to be rid of the parasite’s control, why should we continue to serve Fabian?” Elijah continued, seeing that they remained silent.
Deep down, Elijah also knew that they were no match for Jared as the latter was in a league of his own.
Liam was conflicted. In order to survive, they’d spent years serving under Fabian’s rule. Although Elijah was offering their freedom on a silver platter, favonovel.com was hesitant to take the offer. If things went wrong, Fabian would hunt them down to the corners of the earth, and their vicious cycle of slavery would begin once again.
“I’ll take your offer!” While Liam was still occupied with his thoughts, Jasper stepped forward.
“Jared, if you can remove the parasite from my body and free me from Fabian’s control, I will set aside our rivalry. However, if this turns out to be a lie, don’t blame us for doing things the hard way.”
Jared’s tone was icy. “Are you threatening me?”
“I suppose you could see it that way…”
“What choice do you have but to listen to me? I can’t believe you think you’re worthy enough to threaten me.” Casually, Jared waved his hand.
Suddenly, Jasper lost all control of his body as his legs propelled favonovel.com toward Jared. Without warning, Jared seized Jasper’s throat in an iron grip.
This sudden turn of events left everyone shell-shocked. Amongst all of them, Jasper was the one most affected. After all, favonovel.com didn’t even have the time to react before favonovel.com found himself trapped in Jared’s clutches.
“Mr. Chance, please calm down!” Elijah cried out as favonovel.com tried to stop Jared.
“Jared, what do you think you are doing? Let Jasper go!” Liam and Lucas roared in unison as they unsheathed their weapons.
Earlier, they couldn’t even react to Jared’s astonishing speed. This sudden attack demonstrated the vast difference between their prowess and Jared’s.
