The Man's Decree novel Chapter 2850

Cloud was seething with anger, his body trembling as he stared coldly at Jared. Through gritted teeth, he threatened, “Kid, just you wait. Once you leave Jipsdale, I’ll take your life.”

“I look forward to that,” Jared responded with a faint smile before turning and entering the living hall. Others followed suit. Many now cast curious glances at Jared. They wondered about his identity and why Hester would openly favor him.

After all, Jared was just a cultivator at Second Level Body Fusion Realm. He was not really that powerful. They wondered if he could be related to Hester in some way as well.

“Hello there, I’m Beau Yule. Are you here to buy a treasure map too?” A burly man with a large sword strapped to his back approached Jared. Jared nodded. “Indeed.”

“I’m not sure whether the treasure map is real or fake, but I’ve heard that the Archaic Body cultivators do possess a treasure. If you’re planning to seek the treasure, perhaps we can team up,” Beau proposed. “You see, the far north is sparsely populated, with harsh conditions and frequent demon beast sightings. Moreover, many Demonic Cultivators hide out in those remote areas. With your current cultivation level, even if you find the treasure, it’ll be difficult for you to defend them.”

Beau actively sought an alliance with Jared. Jared understood that Beau’s intention to ally with him was likely influenced by Hester’s attitude toward himself.

Otherwise, why would a cultivator at Fifth Level Body Fusion Realm seek an alliance with cultivators of lower levels? It would only be burdensome.

However, Jared wasn’t keen on forming alliances with anyone. In Ethereal Realm, he couldn’t easily trust strangers, as anyone could succumb to the allure of personal gain.
