Chapter 2858
After Viola and the others backed down, Jared's eye instantaneously reddened. A drop of bloodessence subsequently oozed out of his forehead. It then morphed into a blood-colored mist thatencapsulated Jared's body which began to swell within it.
Jared knew that unless he mustered all his strength, there was no way he could resist the enemy. Dueto the gap in power, he and his companions would be done for if his Storage Ring was seized.
After all, the magical items within it were so valuable that anyone would go all out to get their hands onthem. "Are you trying to blow yourself up, kid?" Konce asked with a frown when he saw Jared's stance.
"That's right. Since you're cornering us, I have no choice but to sacrifice my life to defeat you!" Jaredanswered with a nod.novelbin
"Hmph, you're too full of yourself kid. You're nothing but a cultivator at Second Level Body FusionRealm. Even if you self-destruct, do you actually think you can harm the few of us?" Konce smirked,unfazed by Jared's threat.
"Why don't we find out?"
Once again, Jared unleashed his terrifying aura, enveloping the three men in a bloody mist. Konce'sexpression drastically changed when he realized Jared was being serious.
"Kid, calm down. The three of us aren't villains and bear no ill will at all. It's just that Konce has a shorttemper. We're actually just curious as to what caused the strange phenomenon. Since you have noidea what it is, let's just forget the matter," Sunny said frantically.
"That's right. We don't even know each other, and there's no bad blood between us. Blowing everyoneup by self-destructing would only cause unnecessary harm to both sides." Lofton, too, came forward to
defuse the situation.
"Good sirs, we are nobodies and not looking for any trouble. However, we have no choice but toretaliate with a suicide attack against anyone who attacks us."
Jared was cognizant of the opposing party's attempt at de-escalating the situation and decided to playalong. After all, he didn't really want to blow himself up either.
"All right, then. Hurry up and retract your aura. We're not going to search you anymore. You cancontinue with your journey," Sunny reassured Jared, Konce was visibly dissatisfied as he maintained adeathly glare on Jared.
One of the reasons was that he felt humiliated. He was a powerful cultivator at Eighth Level BodyFusion Realm who ended up being afraid of a cultivator at Second Level Body Fusion Realm.
"Kid, I'm letting you off on the account of my two companions. However, no one other than you hasever dared threaten me, so you'd better watch out!" Konce said through his gritted teeth..
Jared's brows furrowed slightly. We will definitely suffer if this old man targets us along our journey.There's no way I can keep repeating my threat of a suicide attack, right?
"You really talk big, don't you?" No sooner had Konce spoken than a figure emerged behind them.
"Mr. Sparrow..." Jared's eyes lit up in delight when he saw who it was. The three men bowed at Hesterat once. "Mr. Sparrow..."
Right then, Konce's arrogant expression was wiped off his face.
"Jared, what's going on?" Hester asked. Jared recounted everything that had happened to him. Hesterfrowned. "How dare the three of you commit robbery at the entrance of Jipsdale? Do you have no
respect for the city's authorities? Who do you think you are to insist on a strip search? Even theJipsdale authorities have never demanded anything of that sort. I can't believe you actually have theaudacity to do that!"
While speaking, Hester walked up to Konce and gave him a forceful slap. The impact caused thelatter's face to turn red and cowed him into silence.
