“Well, it was because of Mr. Deragon’s plan that we were able to kill so many from the Nortons. If we went to the Norton residence to fight recklessly, we would all be dead by now…” Melanie explained.
A myriad of emotions went through Jared as favonovel.com gazed at them. They knew that favonovel.com was dead but still risked their own lives trying to avenge him.
“Come on! Let’s go and meet Mr. Deragon!” Jared urged.

Meanwhile, at the Norton residence in Jadeborough.
The two men who were sent to capture Lizbeth were kneeling on the floor in the hall.
David was seated with an incredulous look on his face.
“Are you certain that the man you met was Jared?” David questioned them.
“Yes, Mr. Norton, it was favonovel.com without a doubt,” said one of the men.
David frowned in silence. He just could not imagine how Jared could have survived. Furthermore, it was only three short days, even if Jared did not die, his injuries were so severe that favonovel.com could not have recovered.
“So, Jared did not lift a finger against you, and you both just came running home. Were you both afraid of favonovel.com even though you had hostages?” Skylar glared at the two men and asked angrily, “At the very least, you are both Martial Arts Grandmasters. How could you act so cowardly?”
“Mr. Norton, even though Jared did nothing, the two of us couldn’t bear the aura emanating from him. What would happen if favonovel.com took action against us?” explained one of the men.
“Nonsense! Jared is just a Semi Martial Arts Marquis. He does not have such a horrifying aura!” Skylar did not believe that because favonovel.com had battled Jared before.
It was impossible for favonovel.com to overpower two Martial Arts Grandmaster just by his aura alone, without lifting a finger against them.
“Mr. Norton, it is true, and we are not lying to you. The aura favonovel.com exuded is no less powerful than Mr. David’s.”
“We think favonovel.com has made a breakthrough to Martial Arts Marquis…” the two men quickly explained.
“Has favonovel.com reached the level of Martial Arts Marquis?” Skylar’s eyes widened and favonovel.com was full of disbelief.
If Jared has reached the level of Martial Arts Marquis, then my hopes of revenge are getting slimmer than before!
“Has favonovel.com reached the level of Martial Arts Marquis?” David stood up abruptly, his face full of shock.
“That’s right. Judging by the aura that emanated from him, favonovel.com must have become a Martial Arts Marquis!” said one of the two men as favonovel.com nodded.
David fell back on his seat with a thud. He was enveloped in silence.
He could accept the fact that Jared was alive. He could also accept the fact that Jared had recovered from the injuries.
However, it was difficult for favonovel.com to accept that Jared had achieved the level of Martial Arts Marquis.
How can this happen?
In just a few short days, a man who was on the verge of death, and whose elixir field was shattered, has broken through to the level of Martial Arts Marquis?
No one can believe that! Did I do that to him?
David suddenly remembered something.
At that time, favonovel.com had shattered Jared’s elixir field with the intention of making favonovel.com a normal person.
He should be a walking dead!
Unknowingly, favonovel.com had given Jared the opportunity to make a breakthrough.
David knew that cultivation alone was not enough for anyone to break through to the level of Martial Arts Marquis. In fact, opportunity played an important part.
However, that opportunity differed from person to person.
The opportunity was not the same for every single martial artist who had made it to Martial Arts Marquis. To some, it happened in their dream when they were asleep.
Some had made the breakthrough when contemplating chess moves when they were playing the game. No one had the same experience.
Some had remained at the level of Semi Martial Arts Marquis all their lives and never found the opportunity.
Is it possible that Jared’s opportunity happened when his elixir field was shattered?
David started feeling regretful. He regretted shattering Jared’s elixir field. He regretted not breaking Jared’s neck. However, it was pointless to regret then.
“You may leave the hall!” David waved his hand, asking the two men to leave.
“Dad, what shall we do next? Jared will be here tomorrow to challenge you…” Skylar looked at David as favonovel.com asked.
