“Mr. Chance wouldn’t be in danger, would he?”
Serena, who had already left, was extremely worried about Jared.
“Let’s stop here. We’ll wait and see. If Mr. Chance can’t catch up, we’ll go back and check.”
Trystan waved his hand, causing everyone to halt.
After all, Jared was his lifesaver. If he were to stand by idly while Jared was in danger, if he were to turn
a blind eye to a life in peril, Trystan would never find peace for the rest of his life.
Upon seeing his master preparing to go back and save Jared, Clifford quickly said, “Mr. Pruitt, we
should leave now. Even if we return at this moment, I suspect Mr. Chance has already been captured
or killed.”
“Mr. Pruitt, Serena, you need not worry. Mr. Chance will be fine. A few mere Sixth Level Tribulators are
no match for Mr. Chance. Moreover, I discovered that those few Demonic Cultivators are all from the
Inferno Devil lineage, which means they pose even less of a threat to Mr. Chance.”
Faiyar, on the other hand, was not at all worried about Jared. He even comforted both Trystan and
Serena.
Moreover, Faiyar openly called out to Serena, displaying an extreme closeness with her. This made
Clifford, who was standing aside, grind his teeth in frustration.
“Faiyar, why are you so confident in Mr. Chance? After all, Mr. Chance is only a Second Level
Tribulator. Even if he is exceptionally talented and capable of fighting above his level, wouldn’t he still
face danger when confronted with several Sixth Level Tribulators?” Serena asked.“I had been with Mr. Chance for quite some time, and his true strength was beyond anyone’s
imagination. Even if Mr. Chance couldn’t defeat those few Demonic Cultivators, he would still manage
to resolve the crisis,” Faiyar said with a faint smile, but soon after, he fell into slight contemplation as he
continued, “However, how did Stephen and the others manage to discover Mr. Chance’s identity?
Logically speaking, since Mr. Chance had altered his appearance and concealed his aura, he shouldn’t
have been discovered. Also, it seemed that Stephen and his companions hadn’t recognized Mr.
Chance the first time they met. However, by the second encounter, they had clearly set a trap, waiting
for Mr. Chance to fall into it. It’s truly strange…”
After Faiyar finished speaking, he shifted his gaze toward Clifford.
Serena analyzed and asked, “Could it be that Stephen and his companions had identified Mr. Chance’s
identity the first time they met, but merely pretended to be unaware? Then, they intentionally left, ran
ahead to set up a trap, waiting for Mr. Chance to walk right into it?”
After all, she couldn’t possibly suspect Clifford as they had known each other for so many years.
Besides, Clifford had no reason to betray Jared.
Originally, Clifford was thinking of finding some excuse to exonerate himself, but since Serena had
already said that, he decided to go along with her words. “Indeed, Serena’s analysis is correct. It’s
certain that Stephen and the others had discovered it long ago, they were just pretending not to know.”
“Let’s not worry about how Stephen discovered Mr. Chance’s identity for now. The pressing matter is
whether Mr. Chance can escape.”
Trystan’s brow furrowed slightly, his gaze constantly returning to the direction from which they had
come. He dearly hoped for Jared to suddenly appear, safe and sound.
“Mr. Pruitt, I apologize for causing you worry. I truly am sorry…”Just as Trystan had finished speaking, the figure of Jared suddenly appeared before them.
He appeared as if out of thin air.
This was when Jared demonstrated Blazing Stride. Although he couldn’t yet traverse hundreds of miles
in a single step, he was capable of stepping out and instantaneously appearing several miles away.
Upon seeing Jared, Trystan asked with great excitement, “Are you all right, Mr. Chance?”
novelbin“I’m fine. The mere idea that a few Demonic Cultivators could kill me and claim a reward from the
Demon Seal Alliance is simply laughable.”
Jared gave a faint smile, then pulled out the Demonia Dragon Ginseng as he continued, “Not only am I
unharmed, but I’ve also retrieved the Demonia Dragon Ginseng that Stephen swindled from you. Now,
it’s time to return it to its rightful owner.”
Although Jared knew that the Demonia Dragon Ginseng was a valuable item, he also knew that it was
obtained by the Soul Demon Sect at the cost of the lives of more than a dozen disciples. As such, he
couldn’t possibly keep it for himself.
