Only now did Alastair truly realize the terrifying power of Jared. That arrow he had just released was so formidable that even a Ninth Level Tribulator cultivator would struggle to resist it!
Alastair looked at Jared, his eyes revealing a hint of terror!
He was unsure. Having accepted so much money from Jared, he wondered if Jared would demand it back in such a desolate place.
If Jared were to return, Alastair would probably not dare to make a peep!
Jared glanced at the stunned Alastair, a faint smile playing on his lips. “You’ve taken my money. It’s only fair you help me out. Come, lend a hand with the digging…”
“All right, all right, all right…” Swiftly, Alastair rose to his feet and then began to assist Jared in digging downward!
Waves of heat kept emanating from the spot they had dug up!
While Jared was busy assisting Alastair with his excavation, Leighton was in a state of disarray within a courtyard in Southedge City, cursing in anger!
“That punk! If I encounter you again, I’ll definitely tear you into a thousand pieces.” Leighton’s body was severely burned by the demonic fire, so much so that even his face was charred black!
“Uncle Leighton, Ms. Selma has arrived. She’s been waiting for you for quite some time now.” At that moment, a young man from the Mueller family stepped forward and murmured.
Upon hearing that, Leighton hurriedly headed toward the living room, not even having the time to change his clothes!
Inside the living room, Selma sat with a stern expression.
“Ms. Selma!” Upon seeing the situation, Leighton hurried forward to pay his respects!
Selma took one look at the disheveled state of Leighton, her brow involuntarily furrowed.
“Leighton, where have you been? You’re looking all disheveled. This time, I had you lead the team over here because there’s a task for you all. Look at the state you’re in now. Are you going to explain yourself?” Selma sternly demanded!
Leighton was well past his prime, and his age was considerable. However, within the Mueller family, he was just a collateral relative and held no significant status. That was why people would openly call him by his name, ordering him around!
Only direct descendants could assume the
position of the family head and hold a high status within the family!
Certain collateral relatives held positions that were even lower than that of the housekeeper!
After being sternly reprimanded, Leighton could only hang his head low, and then he shared his experiences in detail without leaving anything out!
When Selma heard that Leighton was left in such disarray by a Third Level Tribulator cultivator and that the person could also control the fire nascence, her eyes narrowed instantly!
After all, she knew that Jared’s capabilities were at Third Level Tribulator, and he also possessed the fire nascence. Back then, it was Jared who had shattered her Frost Technique with fire nascence.
“The young man you encountered is the very one who took the life of Kieran. His name is Jared, and he is also the individual that the Demon Seal Alliance has been devoted to hunting down with the price of century’s worth of offering.” Selma gritted her teeth as she spoke!
“What? It’s him?” Leighton was taken aback. “Did you ask for us to kill that guy, Ms. Selma?”
“Indeed, but it’s crucial that you keep this confidential. After all, this guy is someone who the Demon Seal Alliance has been devoted to hunting down. If others were to find out about his identity, there’s no doubt we’d have competition. Moreover, Lunarius Palace was harboring that guy, turning against our Mueller family. Well, we have to show Lunarius Palace a thing or two. On this expedition to the polar region, apart from eliminating Jared, you must also outpace others in discovering the resources of the polar region within Lunarius Palace. Moreover, if you encounter any disciples of Lunarius Palace, show no mercy.”
Selma, despite being an elder of Lunarius Palace, had astonishingly issued a kill order against a disciple of the very same group at that moment!
Leighton slapped his chest, promising, “Rest assured, Ms. Selma! I know what to do!”
“Go change your clothes quickly. You’re really embarrassing our Mueller family!” After saying her piece, Selma then took her leave!
On the other side, Jared was still tirelessly digging alongside Alastair!
“It has appeared!” Vermilion Demon Lord roared in exhilaration!
Jared also saw, a few meters beneath the ground, a skull was quietly laid to rest.
