Aziel and Dexton exchanged a glance and realized they had still underestimated Jared. Without hesitation, they turned to flee.
Just as Aziel was about to run, suddenly saw Jared appear right in front of him.
With two fingers, Jared pinched Aziel’s throat. The pressure wasn’t much, yet it completely immobilized him.
“What’s wrong? Took a beating from me a couple of days ago and still haven’t learned your lesson?” Jared said.
“Y-You… You dare touch me?” Aziel’s voice trembled, though still tried to bluff. “I’m a prodigy of Heavenfall Pavilion. If you hurt me…”
“So what if I do?” Jared’s fingers tightened slightly. Aziel’s face flushed red, his eyeballs nearly bulging out.
“Go back and tell your sect leader. If dares lay a hand on Jemima again, I’ll tear Heavenfall Pavilion down.”
“Jared!” Dexton roared, trying to sound fierce but lacking true confidence. “If you hurt Aziel, Heavenfall Pavilion will stop at nothing to hunt you down. You’ll never know peace!”
Jared turned to him, his gaze cold as a blade. “Since when have I ever feared anyone? Go tell your sect leader. If he’s got the guts, let come try!”
With that, Jared flung Aziel toward Dexton.
Dexton hurried to catch but was forced back more than ten steps by the sheer force of the throw.
The Murray family members were already dumbstruck by the scene.
Cadmus’s face alternated between shades of pale and green. He never anticipated things would turn out this way. Jared wasn’t even the slightest bit afraid of Dexton and Aziel.
Just then, a dozen terrifying auras suddenly approached from above the Murray residence.
As they neared, the crowd could finally see more than ten men in black hovering in the void.
“Bloodbane Palace’s members?”
Seeing the newcomers, the Murray family members were all visibly shocked.
ln level two, both Heavenfall Pavilion and Bloodbane Palace were top-tier powers. Now that both of these giants had shown up at the Murray residence, everyone was nervous and fearful. No one knew why Bloodbane Palace had suddenly arrived.
Leading the Bloodbane group was the third elder Vastis, his eyes locked tightly on the crowd below.
When Dexton saw that Bloodbane Palace had arrived, a flash of joy crossed his face. He knew Jared had killed Jack of Bloodbane Palace.
Their sudden appearance could only mean one thing, revenge!
Since they hadn’t been able to kill Jared themselves, they might as well let Bloodbane Palace do it for them. Even if Jared had some fearsome power backing later, it wouldn’t trace back to Heavenfall Pavilion.
“You must be Vastis, the third elder of Bloodbane Palace. A pleasure. Nice to meet you!” Dexton stepped forward with a flattering smile.
Yet, Vastis didn’t even glance at him. His eyes were locked dead on Jared.
Seeing this, Jared turned wary. He knew very well that Bloodbane Palace had probably come to kill him. After all, had just slain Jack.
Jemima also looked tense when saw the Bloodbane Palace members arrive.
“Jemima, what’s going on? Why is Bloodbane Palace here all of a sudden?” Douglas asked.
“Father, Jared killed Jack from Bloodbane Palace…” Jemima replied.
“What?” Douglas felt a wave of dizziness. He nearly passed out.
With both of the major powers in level two now offended by Jared, things couldn’t be worse. No matter how capable Jared was, there was no way could take on both Bloodbane Palace and Heavenfall Pavilion on his own.
Off to the side, Cadmus immediately lit up with joy. Now Jared was as good as dead. And once Jared died, the position of head of the Murray family would be his. No one would be able to stop Dexton and the others from helping claim it.
Although Dexton was annoyed that Vastis hadn’t responded to him, had no choice but to hold it in for now.
“Vastis, you’re here to avenge Jack, aren’t you? That guy over there killed your young master, Jack,” Dexton said, fanning the flames.
