Even as Jared forced Sylvester and Thunderstorm Sect to retreat, he was also guarding against a sneak attack from the Shalvis family.
Alas, even as he glanced around, there was no sign of the Shalvis family's Martial Arts Grandmaster. Regardless, Jared remained on high alert.
I remember the three of them attacking me at the same time. Where did the third one go?
All of a sudden, Josephine's scream rang out from behind Jared.
Stunned and fearing the worst, Jared instantly spun around and slashed with his Dragonslayer Sword.
Unfortunately, it was all too late. The Shalvis family's Martial Arts Grandmaster had effortlessly caught Josephine in one hand and Lizbeth in his other. Before Jared could do anything, he had jumped and landed beside Kristoff.
No matter how much they struggled, neither woman could break free from the iron grip of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Even if they wanted to take their own lives, they knew it'd be virtually impossible.
“Let them go!” Jared thundered as he glared at Kristoff.
Before long, the murderous aura he exuded had enveloped the entire Shalvis family.
Damn it! I never thought Kristoff would be this despicable. He put on a show of attacking me, only to capture Josephine and Lizbeth behind my back! He has gone too far!
“Let them go? Sure, but only if you give up without a fight. If you do, I guarantee they'll be safe and sound...” Kristoff said with a smirk and a glint in his eye.
Meanwhile, the Shalvis family's Martial Arts Grandmaster still had Josephine or Lizbeth at his mercy. If he so much as tightened his grip, there was no doubt both women would breathe their last.
“Kristoff Shalvis, what the f*ck is this? Are you trying to keep the draconic essence to yourself?” Kenneth yelled, furious that Kristoff had acted on his own accord.
