Female Novel
Chapter 497
Jared's zen-ness came across as a massive slight in the view of the Fergusons' Grandmaster. With
both fists extended, the Grandmaster's intimidating aura increased in intensity several-fold andnovelbin
shrouded Jared outright, as though he meant to crush the latter with it.
“Too weak...” Jared shook his head in disapproval.
In the next split second, Jared transformed himself into the epicenter of a massive eruption of energy
that mushroomed out in all directions with a simple tap of his right foot. That Grandmaster's expression
fell when he suddenly felt himself being assailed by this overwhelming tsunami of energy.
The Fergusons' Grandmaster tried to evade but to no avail. Sent flying like an untethered kite by this
uncanny force, he then fell heavily to the ground, motionless!
Without having exchanged even one blow, a fighter of the Grandmaster's caliber was struck dead, just
like that. That instantly got Isaiah in a rightfully severe mood and even put a frown upon Bruce's brow!
“Fantastic. Simply marvelous...”
Upon witnessing this, Jayden exclaimed in sheer delight. Never had he ever expected that Jared would
possess such potency.
“Why have you kept such a formidable fighter hidden if you had him within your ranks all this while?”
Christopher asked Jayden.
The latter had a look of embarrassment about him for he did not know how to answer that. This was
because he had no idea Jared was that capable, to begin with.
“You ought to be convinced that Jared was the one who saved me by now, right, Dad? He caught the
bullet that went off last night. It would have come straight at me otherwise!”
When Tessa related to Jayden the events from the night before, Jayden's look was that of startlement
followed by a gnawing sense of dread. Would she not have been struck by the bullet had Jared not
been beside her?
“Blessed with Mr. Chance's presence, the heavens smile upon the Snyders. Hahaha...” Jayden
laughed haughtily.
Having the ability to catch bullets with one's own bare hands would propel one into the league of
immortals. Who could possibly rival that?
The sight of Jayden's delight became a juxtaposition against Isaiah's own dismay.
“I ask of you, Mr. Mikkelson, to tear this kid to pieces!” Isaiah seethed between gritted teeth.
“With pleasure!” Bruce strode forth and regarded Jared frostily. “For one as young as yourself to boast
of such ability is a rarity. Walk away now, and I may spare you your life yet!”
“Are you afraid that you may not be able to match up with me? Seeing how it couldn't have been easy
to reach your level of attainment, I'd rather not kill you. So, you can jolly well buzz off!” the smilingjared
said stonily.
“What's that, you rascal? Me, afraid?” Bruce was instantly livid. “I'd say, that even if you were to
possess the prowess of a Grandmaster right now, you'd still be nothing in my esteem, for I’m the one in
command inside of my arcane array!”
With that, Bruce's eyeballs flipped. The black of his eyeballs disappeared in the same instant, turning
his pupils white once more.
“A good thing then that I know a thing or two about arcane arrays too. What do you say to us having a
little fun with it together?” Jared replied with a faint smile.
“What? Might you be adept in both the arcane and martial arts as well?” asked Bruce in astonishment.
“Do not be taken in by his tomfoolery, Mr. Mikkelson. How could one who's as wet behind the ears as
he possibly knows that much?” reminded Isaiah from the side.
That seemed to make a certain sense to Bruce. Hence, with both hands in front of him, he weaved out
layers upon layers of white fog until it had Jared completely surrounded!
As the fog spread, so did its thickness amplify. Soon, Jared and the Grandmaster himself became
enveloped within, visually cut off from everyone from the outside.
“This is not good...”
Jayden was taken aback at this development because he was aware of Bruce's elite mastery of
magecraft. How is Jared to battle an opponent that he cannot even see?
