The two men only dared to get up after Jared had left. When they saw that the man was long gone, they whipped out their phones to report back.
Unfortunately, before they could even make the call, they abruptly froze. In the next instant, blood started gushing out of their orifices. In the end, they fell to the ground.
Jared’s aura earlier had long since damaged their organs. Besides, favonovel.com would never allow them to convey information about him.
Upon noticing that it was growing dark, Jared decided to seek Karl out posthaste to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
When favonovel.com arrived at his destination, favonovel.com was astounded by the sight before his eyes.
Although Xenhall was exceedingly impoverished, the manor in front of favonovel.com was excessively resplendent. The manor that spanned over sixty hectares housed numerous mansions.
At the gates was a stone lion as tall as a person. That aside, a team of security was patrolling around. The defense was unbelievably tight.

In the living room of an exceedingly luxurious mansion within Gardner Manor, Karl paced back and forth with a grim expression. He was wholly restless. For some inexplicable reason, favonovel.com had been fearful since favonovel.com returned from Dragon Island, afraid that Jared would pick trouble with him.
For the past two days, especially, not only had his eyelids been twitching, but favonovel.com hadn’t even been sleeping well.
“Rest earlier, Mr. Gardner. We’ve sent people out to the airport, train station, and every intersection. If Jared comes, we’ll definitely know about it. There are few people in Xenhall, so a stranger would stand out like a sore thumb. Moreover, he’s a Martial Arts Grandmaster. His aura will be easily discernible,” an old butler assured Karl.
Still, Karl remained frowning and didn’t go to rest.
With a bleak expression, favonovel.com countered, “I still feel uneasy, Joshua. Have you arranged for the security outside to be tightened?”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Gardner. Everything is in place. All who are patrolling are Martial Arts Grandmasters. Even if favonovel.com comes, we don’t have to fear favonovel.com when we outnumber favonovel.com by far. After all, this is your territory,” Joshua comforted Karl.
Only after hearing that did Karl relax a fraction.
Yawning, favonovel.com uttered, “Then, I’ll go and rest first, Joshua. Call me immediately if there’s anything.”
“Okay…” Joshua nodded.
Karl went back to his room to sleep. At that exact moment, Jared calmly headed toward the gates of Gardner Manor.
“Who are you?”
When the two bodyguards at the gates saw him, they were put on alert. It was the middle of the night then, so they promptly braced themselves for a battle when someone walked toward the gates.
Jared stared at them both and stated plainly, “I’m here to look for Karl.”
The two bodyguards exchanged a look before one of them questioned, “What’s your business with Mr. Gardner at this hour? He’s not meeting anyone right now, so you should leave.”
“I naturally have to come at this hour to kill. I’m here to kill him…” The corners of Jared’s mouth curved upward.
The expressions of the two bodyguards swiftly changed, and they whipped out their weapons.
At the sight of the knives in their hands, Jared snickered. He continued walking into the manor without the slightest regard for them.
Seeing that, the two bodyguards were livid. With knives in hand, they slashed at him.
Clank! Clank!
Two crisp clanks rang out. Jared remained unscathed, but the knives in their hands snapped in half.
They were completely stupefied at that turn of events.
“I’m here to kill Karl. If you don’t want to die, hurry up and scram…”
With that said, Jared headed into the manor.
At once, the two bodyguards tossed away the knives in their hands and disappeared into the vast darkness.
They were only bodyguards for the Gardner family, and they were only working there for the money, so they didn’t dare stay and risk death after witnessing the man’s power.
Jared waltzed into the manor openly. The bodyguards patrolling the manor quickly rushed over and surrounded him.
