Showed Up
Even though the sun was beaming over Crimson Palace from high up in the sky, Jared and the others
were still sleeping. After all, none of them got a good rest last night. Rumble…
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard. Soon, the large stone in front of Crimson Palace was shattered into
dust. That caused the illusion spell protecting Crimson Palace to vanish instantly.
That noise woke Jared and the others up. Cecilia promptly brought her people to the entrance. Jared
followed too. When they arrived, they saw Tobias standing at the entrance with people from the Rider
family while glaring at the Crimson Palace.
Murderous intent exploded from Tobias’ body. Everyone shook a little when they sensed that
murderous intent. By that point, Cecilia’s body hadn’t fully recovered yet. When she saw Tobias at her
doorstep with his people, her expression darkened.
Upon regaining her composure, she asked, “Why have you come to the Crimson Palace so
aggressively, Mr. Rider?”
“Cecilia, you b*tch! Stop pretending and tell me who killed my brother and destroyed the Rider
residence! Get him out here now!” Tobias was certain it wasn’t done by her because he knew she
wasn’t that powerful.
In response, she frowned. “Mr. Rider, your brother worked together with Desmond to drug me. He
wanted to violate me, but now he’s dead. It’s his own fault.”
The fury in Tobias’ heart burned even brighter when he heard that. “So, you’re saying you’re not going
to hand that person over to me, eh, Cecilia? In that case, I shall kill everyone in Crimson Palace to
avenge my brother!”
When he finished speaking, the aura on his body instantly expanded. Waves of pressure were sent
toward the Crimson Palace crowd.
Some of the weaker disciples began vomiting blood as their faces turned pale.
When Jared, who had been standing behind, sensed Tobias’ aura, his expression became serious. It
seems like Tobias is about as powerful as Zion. I didn’t expect someone as powerful as him exists in
Southwest Region.
“I’m the one who killed your brother. The others have nothing to do with this.” He released his own aura
to counter the oppressive one from Tobias.
That allowed the Crimson Palace crowd to breathe again.
Jared slowly walked toward Tobias before standing in front of the latter.
“It’s him, Mr. Rider! He’s the one who killed Mr. Colton…” The servant of the Rider family spoke
agitatedly when he recognized Jared.
“Impressive. Despite your young age, you’re already this powerful. Who’s your master? Which family
do you belong to?” Tobias never really paid attention to the martial arts forum because he was too busy
cultivating. Hence, he didn’t know who Jared was.
Although, he was afraid that someone or something powerful was backing Jared up because of how
powerful the latter was at such a young age.
Even though the Rider family was a prominent family in Wildefield and even in the Southwest Region,
they weren’t that impressive outside of their territory.
That was especially the case when they were compared to the families in the martial arts world of
Jadeborough. All of those families had backgrounds so powerful that Tobias wouldn’t dare to piss them
off.
“My name is Jared Chance,” Jared informed coldly.
“Jared?” In response, Tobias frowned as he tried to recall anything associated with the name. Then his
eyes lit up. “Oh, I remember now. You’re the guy who killed David, right?”
“That’s right.” Jared nodded.
“Don’t think just because you’re hot sh*t in Jadeborough means you can do whatever you want here.
Since you admitted to my brother’s murder, I’m going to take your life as punishment!” When Tobias
finished speaking, he jumped into the air.
Boom!
A terrifying shockwave created by a palm strike rained down on Jared from above.
“Sacred Light Fist!” Jared roared and punched.
