Jared turned to Jack and asked, “I don’t care who you are? Why are you getting in our way?”
“Are you Jared Chance?” Jack asked with a snigger.
“Do you know me?” Jared asked with a face full of surprise. “I don’t seem to recall ever meeting you.”
“It doesn’t matter if you know me or not. All you need to do is hand over the two coffins you found in the ancient ruins,” Jack demanded.
Upon hearing this, Jared realized that Jack was after the coffin.
“Who do you think you are? Why should I give them to you?” Jared sneered.
“Don’t you know who I am? Why don’t you ask around? Everyone knows who Jack Hoff of Bloodbane Palace is. If you don’t hand them over, I’ll not show you any mercy.” Jack’s eyes narrowed slightly, his body radiating a murderous aura as spoke.
Jared turned to Jemima and asked, “If I were to kill this guy, would Bloodbane Palace give the Murray family a difficult time?”
Jemima was taken aback. She then shook head, saying, “I don’t know…”
“Since you have no idea, keep your distance. When this guy is killed, it will have nothing to do with your family,” Jared said.
“Hahaha…” Jack laughed heartily. “Punk, you think you can kill me? You should take a good look at yourself first. You’re merely a Wandering Immortal Realm Level Three cultivator, yet you dare think of killing me? Even if I were to stand still and stick out my neck, do you think you can do it?!”
With a face full of disdain, Jack stretched his neck out for Jared.
“In all my years, I’ve never come across such a request. But if that’s what you want, then I’ll gladly oblige!”
After Jared finished speaking, Dragonslayer Sword suddenly appeared In his hand. Without missing a beat, swiftly swung it.
A radiant light flashed and vanished instantly.
In the blink of an eye, Jack’s head was severed by Jared, who showed no hesitation.
“M-Mr. Jack…” The four men in black were all taken aback.
They never would have imagined that Jared would actually dare to fight, killing Jack outright.
“You all heard it, didn’t you? It was your master who asked me to end his life. I merely granted his request. As for the cost of my assistance, it’s on the house…”
After Jared finished speaking, attempted to leave with Jemima.
However, they were stopped by four men in black.
One of the individuals leading the group spoke up. “You think you can just walk away after killing Mr. Jack?!”
“So? Do you all want to join too?” Jared gave a casual smile, exuding a terrifying aura, one that caused the four men in black to tremble in fear
Feeling the aura emanating from Jared, the men in black didn’t dare make a move because they knew they were no match for Jared.
Upon seeing the four men in black standing frozen at their feet, Jared took Jemima and left.
“Sir, Mr. Jack has been killed. Are we just going to stand by and let the culprit walk away?”
“Exactly, how are we supposed to explain this to Bloodbane Lord when we return?”
The other men in black expressed their dissatisfaction.
“Shut up, what do you know?!” The leader of the men in black frowned.
“This guy, Jared, is definitely no ordinary man. The four of us might not even be enough to defeat him. All this while, we have never received much resources from Bloodbane Palace, so why should we risk our lives?”
“Let’s head back. All we need to do is report this to Ms. Nymeria. After that, this matter has nothing to do with us. Remember this for the future. If there’s an issue, report it. Once you’ve done so, it’s no longer our concern.”
After speaking, the leader of the men in black slowly vanished.

Meanwhile, Jared, accompanying Jemima, headed toward the Murray residence.
In a somewhat puzzled tone, Jemima asked, “Jared, why did you dare to kill that man from Bloodbane Palace just now?”
“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Jared replied with a nonchalant smile. “Bloodbane Palace is no threat to me. They dared to covet what’s mine, so naturally, I killed them. Moreover, they even invited me to do so. It would be rude if I didn’t oblige.”
