Chapter 2286 Stop It

“How could you ask such a question, Mr. Lassen? Mr. Chance is right here, standing before us, alive and well,” Zain uttered.

Claus did not bother to look at Zain. He remained fixated on Jared, his disbelief refusing to waver. “You chased after the Blazing Tiger and ventured deep into the treacherous Demon Beast Mountain. Weren't you in grave danger? And what about the Blazing Tiger?”

Claus was so curious that he could not help but wonder what had transpired when Jared ventured into the treacherous depths of the Demon Beast Mountain and how he managed to emerge unscathed.

Considering Jared's strength, it would be nearly impossible for him to escape from the clutches of the mountain's perilous confines.

Yet, it was clear that Jared stood composed and unharmed before Claus. That sight left Claus both astonished and captivated.

“Claus, you know Jared?” Hailey was surprised.

“Yes, we've crossed paths a few times. We even met in the mundane world.” Claus bobbed his head in response.

“Mr. Lassen, I only pursued the Blazing Tiger for a short distance, so I didn't venture deep into the mountain. I emerged unharmed because I swiftly made my way out,” Jared explained, giving him a subtle smile.

He chose not to mention anything about taming the Blazing Tiger. It was his trump card, and he intended to keep it hidden unless he faced a dire situation.

“That makes sense. Hardly anyone who ventures deep into the Demon Beast Mountain comes out alive. And even if they do, they would at least suffer severe injuries!” After learning that he had not gone deep into the mountain, Claus finally understood why Jared was still alive.

Claus held Hailey's hand and said, “We've got to go, Hailey. Mr. Hargreaves and the others are waiting for us.”

As Claus was about to take Hailey away, she cast a quick glance at Jared before forcefully pulling herself away from Claus' grasp. Her expression turned grave and awkward, signaling a change in her demeanor.

Claus froze for a moment, casting Hailey a puzzled look.

They had been childhood sweethearts, and their families had long been preparing for their marriage.

Claus did not understand what had happened to Hailey and why she refused to hold his hand that day.

“Stop it. People are watching us!” Hailey said while walking toward the plaza.
