“Cadmus Murray?” Jared’s eyes flashed. “Who is he?”
With a sigh, Jemima admitted, “He’s my cousin. His parents passed away early, so it was my parents who raised him. However, wasn’t grateful for it. Just because I am a girl, kept eyeing my father’s position as the head of the family, aiming to seize power.”
Jared thought to himself, This ingrate doesn’t deserve to live!
“Come on, I‘ll accompany you back to the Murray residence. If Heavenfall Pavilion dares to exert any pressure, I’ll wipe It off the face of the earth!”
Jared had made up his mind to go back to the Murray residence with Jemima. He then instructed Flaxseed to stay back in Eighth Hall. With Flaxseed present, Eighth Hall could sustain a defensive formation against any attacks for a short time.
After making the necessary arrangements at Eighth Hall, Jared and Jemima hurried back to the Murray residence.
Level two was more than ten times larger than level one. Eighth Hall was located over ten thousand kilometers away from the Murray residence.
Fortunately, there were numerous Teleportation Arrays in level two. With just a few teleports, one could reach the destination. If one had to travel on foot, it would probably take at least half a month, if not longer, to get there.

Meanwhile, at Heavenfall Pavilion, Dexton stood silently in the main hall.
Before sat an elderly man with a white beard, dressed in a loose robe. Laid out in front of the elderly man was a star chart.
The elderly man, Radmus Gallegos, studied each shining light on the star chart, his expression alternating between a solemn look and one that was relaxed.
Dexton stood off to the side, not daring to utter a single word.
Suddenly, Radmus waved his hand toward a shimmering star, and in an instant, the star was extinguished. However, in the moment when the stars faded, other stars began to shine.
This caused Radmus’ brow to furrow tightly.
Dexton stood off to the side, not daring to make a sound. His body was lowered in a slight bow, a sign of respect and reverence.
“Jared…” Suddenly, Radmus uttered Jared’s name.
“Yes!” Dexton nodded in agreement.
“Anti-Celestial Sect?” Radmus spoke again.
“Yes!” Dexton continued to nod in agreement.
“Tell me more…” Radmus prompted.
Dexton meticulously recounted the entire event in detail, leaving out nothing.
After hearing everything, Radmus maintained a calm expression. “So, not only did Jared hurt all of you, but also got away with two coffins?”
“Yes!” Dexton nodded in confirmation.
“Do you know about the two warrior statues?”
“I don’t…” Dexton shook his head.
“So, what do you think, should we seek revenge on Jared?” Radmus finally asked, raising his head to look at Dexton.
“I’ll follow your lead on this.”
Dexton was very cautious.
Upon hearing this, Radmus couldn’t help but chuckle. “Dexton, as an elder of Heavenfall Pavilion, you have your own authority. You don’t have to obey my every word. Even though you only secured your position as an elder in Heavenfall Pavilion due to your expertise in array craft, your role as an elder holds actual authority…”
“It’s not just an empty title. Don’t look down upon yourself. You need to show the confidence and aura of an elder!”
Upon hearing this, Dexton hastily responded, “Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Gallegos. I believe we should punish Jared. Moreover, we can’t let the Murray family off the hook. That girl from the Murray family openly cuckolded Aziel, which has greatly embarrassed Heavenfall Pavilion.”
Radmus nodded. “Have you spoken to the Murray family about this?”
“I have. I demanded that they hand over or they’ll suffer the consequences!” Dexton replied.
“Good… The Murray family owes us an explanation.” Radmus nodded in agreement, then continued, “As for Jared, I suggest we let others deal with him. Once word gets out about the valuable treasure possesses, someone is bound to attack him…”
“Didn’t you mention members of Bloodbane Palace were at the scene as well? Maybe someone from their faction will do something. We’ll simply wait and see. Jared can fight beyond his level, even outperforming Aziel. This suggests that is no ordinary man. He might very well hail from a more powerful family.”
“Understood!” Dexton nodded in agreement.
He knew that Radmus wanted to kill Jared by someone else‘s hand.
