“You can't kill me. I'm a part of the Crescent Sect. If you kill me, Mr. Quillen will go after you!"
Venicus gazed at Jared fearfully.
“Are you trying to threaten me?” Jared furrowed his brows. “I hate it the most when people try to threaten me!”
Jared did not give Venicus the chance to say anything. He simply struck the latter down, killing him instantly.
After the deed was done, Jared bent down and took the thousand-year-old ginseng from Venicus' chest. His lips curled into a smile.
He kept the ginseng and shifted his gaze toward Zachariah.
Zachariah noticed Jared staring at him, and he immediately fell to his knees.
He was the head of the Jantz family of Summerbank and one of the four directors of Warriors Alliance. Yet, he was now bowing humbly in front of a young man in his twenties.
The crowd was staring at Zachariah with a bewildered look. A martial artist would rather die than get humiliated. Yet, the man before them was willing to humble himself just for survival.
However, Zachariah did not care what the world thought of him. For him, staying alive was more important than his reputation.
It's useless to keep a good reputation if I'm dead.
“Mr. Chance, please spare my life. I am willing to offer up all the herbs of the Jantz family to you. Many of them are over a hundred years old!”
Zachariah pleaded to Jared.
“I am the man who killed your daughter and son. If I let you go today, will you try to avenge them should the chance arises?” Jared displayed a cold smile.
“No, I won't! It was my son and daughter who offended you in the first place. They deserved it. If I dare to take revenge against you, I deserve to die too..."
Zachariah was willing to take an oath. He was desperate to do anything to keep his life.
Jared looked at Zachariah skeptically. Why should I trust someone who doesn't care for his children? If I let him go today, he might attack me secretly tomorrow!
