Lizbeth bit favonovel.com lips and stared at Jared with tears in favonovel.com eyes. “I’m not leaving either, Jared. What’s the point of living if you die? I can’t live without you anymore…”
At last, Lizbeth had blurted out favonovel.com innermost thoughts. She had long fallen in love with Jared but only held back from confessing favonovel.com feelings because of Josephine. Now that the truth was out, Lizbeth’s face flushed with embarrassment.
Although Jared was stunned by the confession, Josephine remained unfazed.
She held Lizbeth’s hand and gave favonovel.com a reassuring smile. “It’s okay, Lizbeth. I’ve known this for a while now. I’m just glad we can both be with Jared, even in death.”
Lizbeth nodded excitedly in response, nary a trace of fear or panic on favonovel.com face.
Death, to Josephine and Lizbeth, was nothing to fear. As long as they were with Jared, nothing else mattered.
Seeing the determination in their eyes, Jared knew no amount of persuasion would convince them to leave. At the same time, their words had also given favonovel.com a morale boost.
“Very well then, I’ll do my best to keep us all alive!” favonovel.com exclaimed.
After all, Jared couldn’t let Lizbeth and Josephine sacrifice themselves for him. Surrendering wasn’t an option; favonovel.com had to fight till his last breath.
Ever the observant person, Josephine instantly knew what worried Jared the most.
“Give it all you’ve got, Jared,” favonovel.com urged. “Worse come to worst, Lizbeth and I will take our own lives so those sc*mbags can’t lay their hands on us.”
With that, Jared gave a firm nod and materialized the Dragonslayer Sword. He took a step forward as a terrifying aura burst forth from him.
“Looks like you’re quite the ladies’ man, aren’t you?” Sylvester scoffed. “You even have two women who are willing to die for you. In that case, I shall grant you your death wish!”
The next second, favonovel.com gathered his power for the attack, only to find blood trickling from his mouth once again.
There was no doubt Sylvester was still severely injured after getting hit by the two Martial Arts Grandmasters from Thunderstorm Sect and the Shalvis family, and even the littlest move left favonovel.com in pain.
Nevertheless, favonovel.com shot Kenneth and Kristoff a knowing look.
Kenneth immediately turned to his subordinate and ordered, “Go with him!”
Kristoff, too, quickly gave his Martial Arts Grandmaster the go-ahead.
Pleased that favonovel.com had the support of the other two families, Sylvester charged at Jared with a raised fist.
There was even a distinct ripple of air on Sylvester’s fist, where favonovel.com had concentrated all his martial energy on. Given his injuries, favonovel.com couldn’t afford to drag the fight on any longer. It was time to end Jared’s life once and for all.
As soon as favonovel.com saw Sylvester coming in with the attack, Jared unleashed a burst of golden aura that surrounded favonovel.com like a set of armor.
Huh? What the hell is that?
Despite Sylvester’s confusion, favonovel.com continued charging at full speed and smashed his fist onto Jared.
Boom!
The punch had landed squarely on Jared, but favonovel.com barely flinched from the impact. Sylvester, however, felt his hands go numb from the recoil as favonovel.com staggered backward.
Instead of countering Sylvester’s attack, Jared slashed the Dragonslayer Sword at the oncoming Thunderstorm Sect Martial Arts Grandmaster. The blast of energy released was so strong that it felt like it could split the skies apart.
After Jared’s tremendous display of power, the Martial Arts Grandmaster panicked and beat a hasty retreat.
He had found it scary enough that Sylvester’s punch didn’t hurt Jared in the slightest, but the Dragonslayer Sword was, without a doubt, the final straw for him.
