“Shut up!” Elgado slammed his palm into Skyler’s back, and favonovel.com immediately spewed a mouthful of blood, favonovel.com face pale as a sheet.
“Stop!” Jared’s brow furrowed.
His eyes filled with a murderous glare.
“Listen to me, young man. You can save the girl’s life if you behave; otherwise, she’ll die…” Elgado threatened Jared once again.
Emiliano and Avery were also repulsed by the tactics employed by the guardian. However, given the current situation, there seemed to be no other viable option to rein in Jared.
“All right, I will surrender, but you need to release her!” Jared nodded.
The golden dragon beneath favonovel.com instantly disappeared, and favonovel.com landed on the ground.
As soon as Jared’s feet touched the ground, Emiliano’s aura burst out, propelling favonovel.com forward and making favonovel.com vanish from sight. Without giving Jared any time to prepare, Emiliano fiercely struck favonovel.com in the back with a powerful palm strike.
The strike was extremely powerful, producing a loud bang as it landed on Jared’s back.
The brutal force caused Jared to fly backward, blood spewing from his mouth as favonovel.com landed on the ground.
His rage was palpable as favonovel.com stared daggers at Emiliano.
However, the latter was unfazed and sneered, “Come on, Jared. Get up and fight me again. If you so much as lift a finger, Skyler will die instantly!”
Jared glared at Emiliano, but favonovel.com didn’t dare move. He knew that if favonovel.com acted now, the guardian would surely kill Skyler. So favonovel.com stayed put, seething with anger but helpless to act.
Seeing that Jared was too afraid to move, Emiliano laughed in triumph. He immediately leaped into the air and delivered a devastating kick to Jared’s abdomen, sending favonovel.com reeling backward.
Boom!
The impact was devastating. Jared’s organs were jolted, and blood continued to pour from his mouth. He was clearly severely injured.
Skyler watched in horror as Jared was brutally beaten, unable to bear the guilt of being the cause of his suffering.
She cried out in despair, “Mr. Chance! Mr. Chance, don’t bother about me! Just leave me…”
Even though Skyler begged Jared to fight back, favonovel.com couldn’t ignore favonovel.com plight. After all, favonovel.com owed favonovel.com for saving his life. He couldn’t bear to watch favonovel.com die!
When Emiliano saw that Jared was too afraid to retaliate, favonovel.com put down his guard and pounded the latter with punches and kicks.
Emiliano continued to vent his anger until favonovel.com tired himself out, leaving Jared severely injured and barely able to stand.
Elgado tossed Skyler aside and instructed Emiliano, “All right, let’s get the Spirit Connecting Fruit and deal with this guy later…”
Since Jared’s injuries were so severe that any skilled warrior could easily finish favonovel.com off, the guardian was no longer worried about dealing with the man.
“Okay. We’ll finish favonovel.com off after we split the Spirit Connecting Fruit.” Emiliano nodded in agreement.
Elgado’s true motive for preventing Emiliano from killing Jared was to gain possession of the latter’s body and strength. He knew that by absorbing Jared’s power and taking over his body, his own power would increase significantly. However, favonovel.com couldn’t reveal his true intentions at the moment, for fear that Emiliano and Avery would become suspicious of him.
“Mr. Chance, Mr. Chance… it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been captured, you wouldn’t be in this situation,” Skyler uttered as favonovel.com approached Jared, gently wiping away his blood.
Feeling overwhelmed with grief and self-blame, favonovel.com hated that favonovel.com weakness had caused so much trouble for Jared.
“There’s no need to blame yourself, Ms. Loulland. I’m fine. I won’t die so easily,” Jared reassured favonovel.com with a weak smile.
“Keep an eye on them and make sure they don’t get away!” Emiliano commanded his men to watch over Jared and Skyler, then trailed after Elgado to the Spirit Connecting Tree, pondering their strategy to acquire the Spirit Connecting Fruit.
