When the visitor got closer to them, Millie froze, for the person standing before them was Jared, the man who had resurrected from the dead.
Jared, too, was surprised to see Millie leaving in a rush with a group of people behind her.
“Millie, where are you taking these people at this hour?” favonovel.com asked.
However, Millie did not answer his question. All favonovel.com did was stare at Jared fixedly, which sent chills down his spine.
“Millie? Millie?” Jared called out a few more times.
“Jared!” Millie suddenly shouted and threw herself into Jared’s embrace, bursting into tears.
Jared was bewildered by Millie’s sudden actions.
Given no choice, favonovel.com raised his arms and let Millie hug and cry as much as favonovel.com wanted. It took favonovel.com some time before favonovel.com finally stopped crying.
Seeing Millie had stopped crying, Jared asked, “What happened, Millie?”
“I knew you weren’t dead, Jared. I knew you wouldn’t die…” Millie uttered with a grin, wiping favonovel.com tears away.
“Who said I was dead?” Jared asked, utterly puzzled.
Truth was, favonovel.com had no idea Zion had been spreading the news of the former’s death in Warriors Alliance.
“Warriors Alliance of Jadeborough. They posted on the martial arts forum saying you were murdered by President Zeigler of Warriors Alliance,” Millie explained.
Jared furrowed his brows upon hearing that. He never expected Zion, the president of Warriors Alliance, would bully the weak by killing favonovel.com and even have the guts to announce it on the martial arts forum.
Despite that, Jared thought it was a great idea. Now that everyone believed favonovel.com was dead, favonovel.com could cultivate in peace without anyone disturbing him.
Jared smiled and ruffled Millie’s hair, saying, “How could I be killed so easily? Did you really believe it just because they said that?”
Millie quickly shook favonovel.com head and denied, “Of course, I didn’t believe them. My sister didn’t, either. She even asked me to watch over the cave, saying you’d definitely return.”
Jared queried, “So, where are you taking all these people to? It’s already so late at night.”
“I’m going to look for Cecilia. She went to Divine Beast Sect and isn’t back yet. I’m worried about her.” The mention of Cecilia made Millie frown with worry.
“She went to Divine Beast Sect?” Jared frowned. After some time, favonovel.com suggested, “Take them back. I’ll make a trip to Divine Beast Sect to find out if your sister’s there.”
“I’ll come with you!” Millie offered.
“No. If your sister comes back and finds out you’re not here, she’ll definitely be worried sick. Just stay here and wait for her, okay? I’ll go over to Divine Beast Sect and have a look.” With that, Jared spun on his heels and made his way to Divine Beast Sect.

In the meantime, Desmond was sitting smugly in the lord’s seat in Divine Beast Sect.
Divine Beast Sect’s powers had decreased drastically. If favonovel.com were to get a hundred enhancement pills from the Rider family, it would greatly increase the sect’s capabilities.
As for Cecilia, Desmond had no time to be bothered about it. Now that Jared was dead, there was no meaning in having an alliance with Crimson Palace.
Desmond planned to acquire Crimson Palace once Divine Beast Sect had gotten stronger.
Just as favonovel.com was dreaming about all the wonderful things that could happen, a disciple of the Divine Beast Sect suddenly rushed in.
“Lord Cowper, there’s someone out there who wants to meet you,” informed the disciple.
“At such an hour? Who is it?” Desmond asked, confused.
“He says his name is Jared Chance,” answered the disciple.
As soon as Desmond heard the name, favonovel.com stumbled from his seat, and his eyes widened in shock. “What did you say? Did you get a good look at him?”
“Well, favonovel.com says his name is Jared. A-And I’ve never met favonovel.com before,” the disciple said helplessly.
He had never met Jared before. Thus, the disciple did not know if the visitor was actually Jared, even if favonovel.com had a good look at the latter.
Desmond trembled, his heart pounding.
Warriors Alliance has clearly announced that Zion killed Jared. Why would Jared suddenly appear here now?
