At that moment, Jared's body was fiery red, as though he had been set on fire from the inside out.
As an ear-piercing roar rang out, a terrifying aura enveloped the forest, causing the surrounding trees to topple over and the ground to shake.
The mountain was reduced to messy shambles in a split second, looking very much like a meteorite had struck and destroyed the area.
By then, everyone in the Zagorski residence was jolted awake and turned to look at the mountain in the near distance with shock.
“What's happening? Was it a meteorite?” Austin asked as he hastily got up, his face grim and ashen.
Everyone ran to the courtyard without further ado and stared at the ball of fiery red light atop the mountain.
“I-I see a human. The one emitting light from the summit is a human...” Kayson muttered.
Shocked, the crowd hurried to the backyard, only to see the well-built secret room reduced to rubble and ash.
All of a sudden, Austin froze in his tracks. “Could that be Mr. Chance?”
At that moment, everyone felt a menacing aura gradually approaching them. Even though they were all Greater Martial Arts Marquises, their hearts couldn't stop racing from the overwhelming anxiety.
“It's Mr. Chance,” Verner replied, eyes widening in surprise. “I-It's him...”
Flaxseed, on the other hand, remained unfazed. “Jared sure is extraordinary. Given his current abilities, I wouldn't be surprised if he flattened an entire mountain.”
“Why did Mr. Chance go to that mountain, though?” Kayson queried, eliciting a chuckle from Flaxseed.
“If he didn't do that, the Zagorski residence would've been obliterated!”
Only then did realization dawn upon Kayson. Ah! Mr. Chance was only trying to prevent his aura from destroying our house!
“Come on. Let's go take a look!” Flaxseed urged before making his way up the mountain.
