Female Novel
Chapter 770
Although Tommy was not very powerful, he, as Jared's subordinate, would never ditch the latter and
escape first.
He was going to risk his life even if the odds were against him.
“Mr. Chance, being able to work under you for so long is already the best thing that can happen to me.
If there's an afterlife, I'm willing to continue being your subordinate,” Phoenix too said with
determination.
After finishing their sentences, both of them exchanged glances and prepared themselves mentally for
what was about to come. Be it only a few seconds of delay, they were determined to buy Jared some
time to escape.
“Nonsense...” Jared frowned slightly. “Just leave first. I already have a plan. Your presence here will
only make things more difficult for me.”
He rarely got angry at Tommy and Phoenix. However, this time, his tone of voice was unusually stern.
Seeing Jared's reaction, both of them fell silent, unsure of what to do.
“I'm not leaving.” Right then, Lyanna, who was behind Jared, said remorsefully, “If I didn't stop you from
killing Curtis, this wouldn't have happened. Since this is all my fault, I'll never leave.”
Lyanna was feeling extremely guilty. If I didn't stop Jared, Curtis wouldn't have survived. He wouldn't
even have the chance to come here with
Hayden.
She felt extremely guilty for how things turned out at that moment. In fact, she would not be able to
forgive herself if anything happened to Jared.
“Mr. Chance, we're not leaving either. At most, I'll give in my all with this old body of mine,” Samuel
chimed in, looking resolute.
Looking at all the people who were unwilling to leave, Jared smiled helplessly. Yet, he felt slightly
moved by their actions.
“Stop thinking about escaping already. None of you are getting away today,” Hayden sneered, as
though he had seen through Jared's plan.
“Mr. Xuereb, I'm the patriarch of the Baileys, Samuel. I'm wondering if—”
Before Samuel could even finish his sentence, Hayden raised his hand and interrupted, “For the sake
of the Baileys, I'll let you go. If you're trying to plead on behalf of that rascal, then it's not going to work.
Even the gods can’t save him today.”
Samuel's face paled when he heard his words. Hayden was totally not bothered to show the former any
respect.
“Mr. Bailey, you don't have to beg him. The outcome is not determined yet.” With that, Dragonslayer
Sword appeared in Jared's hand.
“Nice one. I'm going to pay my respects to my son with your blood today.” When he finished speaking,
a horrifying aura exuded from Hayden's body. Immediately after that, he stepped forward, and a
powerful pressure gushed forward like a wind.
Many among the crowd, who were unable to withstand the pressure, stepped backward immediately.
Jared, on the other hand, clenched his jaw while hurtling Dragonslayer Sword, which had crimson
flames rising from the blade, toward Hayden.
Jared had put in all his strength in that strike. After all, Hayden was a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Hence,
even if Jared had Dragonslayer Sword in his hands, he did not dare to let his guard down.
Moreover, he had not recovered his strength after that fight with Curtis. Now that he was faced with
Hayden, he had no choice but to go all out.
Meanwhile, Hayden frowned slightly. Jared's so young, yet he has such incredible powers. At that
thought, he lost some of his confidence.
Immediately, he threw out a punch that caused an invisible ripple in the air, and a loud sound could be
heard.novelbin
What everyone saw next was Jared bringing down his sword on the ripples, causing him to be hurled
backward. The incredible force made Jared's body go numb. Even his hand that was holding
Dragonslayer Sword could not stop trembling.
The crowd was stunned by the scene. At that moment, everyone could tell that Jared was not a match
for Hayden.
At the same time, Hayden took two steps backward and rubbed his fist. With a fiery gaze, he said, “As
expected from a magic sword. Once I kill you, that sword's going to be mine.”
