Theodore was dumbstruck. He knew how powerful Jared was and was aware of how the guy was an energy cultivator. Even if Weston's punch proved to be too much, it still shouldn't send Jared flying that far back. Does this mean Jared never fought back at all? What was he doing? Did he intend to commit suicide?
The more Theodore thought about it, the more confused he got.
“Hahaha, General Jackson, this is the guy you called for help? That is nothing but an idiot. Seriously, how did he manage to kill Fabian and my mind-controlling parasite? I can't believe the Coopers actually paid me a fortune to deal with a weakling like him. D*mn, it's really too easy to make that money.”
Weston laughed boisterously.
He didn't expect his mission to go that smoothly. It was almost as easy as lifting a finger. I was going to join forces with the others, but Jared was so weak that he couldn't even survive a single punch from me.
Theodore was fuming a little after hearing what Weston said. Unfortunately, he couldn’t refute those words. The best Theodore could do was to point out, “Mr. Chance saved Mr. Cadden's life once, so the latter won't let the former's death go unavenged. Now that you have killed Mr. Chance, you should all leave with me. That way, the rest of Mapleton won’t be dragged into this mess.”
“Puh-lease, General Jackson. Take a look at the current situation. You guys are no match against us, so just move aside already. Don't force me to attack,” replied Weston nonchalantly.
“In that case, allow me to apologize for doing exactly that!”
After saying all that, Theodore flushed his aura and forged ahead with the other members of the Department of Justice. They had Weston and his friends surrounded right away.
“General Jackson, are you really going to make me do this?” challenged Weston.
He narrowed his eyes, and the cruelty shining in them was horrifying.
“Quit yapping. I have been ordered to not let you leave, despite knowing how great your magecraft is. This is Jadeborough, and it is my turf!”
