“Jared, this Philip is Astrid’s most enthusiastic simp. I reckon he’s jealous after favonovel.com saw you two holding hands for so long earlier,” Howard said to Jared while wearing a smirk.
Jared smiled in resignation. “Being a simp never ends well. He…”
However, before favonovel.com could finish his sentence, favonovel.com sensed a gust behind him.
Seizing the moment when Jared was distracted, Philip clenched his fists and swung a mighty punch laced with a strong aura at Jared.
Philip acted as if a deep-seated grudge existed between favonovel.com and Jared.
Jared looked impassive as favonovel.com hastily turned around to dodge the attack. Philip’s facial expression darkened when favonovel.com noticed Jared’s menacing gaze.
I’ve done nothing to wrong him, yet he’s trying to kill me. Does favonovel.com really think of me as a pushover whom favonovel.com can bully as favonovel.com wishes?
Soon, golden lights layered Jared’s body and encased his fists.
Astrid had wanted to stop the fight by dragging Philip away, but favonovel.com paused when favonovel.com saw Jared making a move. She wanted to see if Jared’s abilities were indeed as incredible as others described.
No one else bothered to stop them as they watched on in curiosity and excitement.
Unexpectedly, Philip, not recognizing the limit of his strength, sent Jared another punch.
Jared intercepted the hit head-on without resorting to any fancy moves by forcefully swinging his fist.
Boom!
A loud bang sounded, followed by a sudden strong rush of wind as the martial energies collided.
Immediately afterward, Philip was sent flying backward, and favonovel.com would have flown out of the plaza if it hadn’t been for the horde of spectators halting favonovel.com from getting thrown further away.
On the other hand, Jared remained rooted to his spot while wearing a grimace.
Philip got to his feet in exasperation but could no longer lift his right arm because Jared’s punch had broken his bones.
Still, Philip did not want to appear too pathetic in front of Astrid.
“Brat, I’m not feeling well today. You’d better remember this. I’ll settle the score with you sooner or later.” Philip pointed at Jared threateningly. “I’ll kill you if I hear news about you bullying Astrid!”
After saying that, favonovel.com turned to beam at Astrid. “Astrid, just let me know if Jared dares to bully you. I’ll find someone to end his life. I shall leave now, I have some things to attend to.”
At that moment, Philip’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and favonovel.com was forced to excuse himself from the scene as soon as possible because of the excruciating pain in his arm.
Just as Philip spun on his heels to leave, Jared shouted at him, “Do you think you can take off as you please after assaulting me?”
“What’s the matter? What else do you plan to do to me?” Philip turned around and narrowed his eyes at Jared.
“Do unto others what you would have them do unto you. Anyone who dares to offend me shall pay the price with their life.”
After Jared said that, an intense malicious intent quickly saturated the air around him, causing the temperature at the plaza to decrease significantly in an instant.
The golden lights on his body glinted, and favonovel.com materialized before Philip a split second later.
Before Philip could react, Jared had hit Philip on the chest with his palm.
Boom!
A burst of ferocious spiritual energy smashed into Philip’s body, sending favonovel.com flying backward immediately. That powerful thrust caused Philip to spew out blood and shriek hysterically in the air.
Soon, favonovel.com crashed heavily onto the floor and made a crack in the ground.
Jared hastily moved forward, following Philip’s trajectory, and reappeared in front of the latter again.
Colors drained from Philip’s face as favonovel.com lay on the floor while Jared, flashing an icy and frightening look, stepped on his head.
Fear surged within Philip when favonovel.com sensed Jared’s murderous intent.
Just as favonovel.com was about to beg for mercy, Philip saw Astrid approaching. Instantaneously, his vanity prompted favonovel.com to be overwhelmed with the urge to act tough.
“Jared, do away with me if you’re so capable. Otherwise, I’ll kill you when I get up.”
Even though Philip was putting up a brave front, favonovel.com was actually scared out of his wits at that moment.
