Quinley and the others were deeply anxious as they watched Jared approach Norwal City’s armybeyond the wall.
Hastily, Cloud reassured the women, “No need to worry about Mr. Chance, Ms. Warwick, Ms. Tall.Nothing will happen to him. Last night, he installed an arcane array outside. Those people can’t hurt Mr.Chance even if they try.”
Upon hearing that, the women were relieved. “Ivasha, I want you to contact all the guards. Tell them tobe on alert and be prepared to escort Mr. Chance back at any moment,” ordered Yuven.
Ivasha nodded before leaving to make preparations. Meanwhile, Jared gradually arrived before Lucianwith Xandros in his grip. Both were facing each other with dozens of meters between them. Lucian waslivid the moment he noticed the injuries and bloodstains on his son.
Then, he glared intensely at Jared. It was his first time meeting the latter. I’m surprised. Even though heseems to be my son’s age, he managed to defeat Mr. Quayle!
“So, you’re Jared Chance?” questioned Lucian coldly. Wordlessly, Jared nodded. Gritting his teeth,Lucian stifled his fury and questioned, “You want to exchange my son for the Divine Bow, yet youinflicted so much damage on him. Don’t you think you’re crossing a line?”
“Crossing a line?” Jared grinned. “I’m only ransoming your son’s life for the Divine Bow. I didn’t sayanything about returning him to you unharmed. In any case, your son’s here now, so let’s cut to thechase. Are you going to fulfill my demand or not? If not, I’ll kill him right here and now.”
“You dare?” Lucian’s eyes widened in rage. No one has ever dared to threaten me before! I’m going to-Disdainfully, Jared slapped Xandros’ cheek. Xandros howled in pain from the powerful slap.
“Stop it! How dare you hurt my son in front of me! Do you want to die that badly? You’re courting deathright now, you know that?” roared Lucian as aura exploded from his body.novelbin
“Still threatening me, eh? Fine.” Jared rolled his eyes and slapped Xandros a few more times.
Xandros’ cheeks swelled as he cried for his father. “Save me, Dad! Please don’t provoke him anymore!I’m going to die at this rate…”
Sniffing and sobbing, he continued, “Just give him what he wants, Dad! Give it to him already…”
Lucian was trembling in fury. At that moment, he was under Jared’s control.
Gritting his teeth, Lucian barked, “Mind your behavior, brat! If I lose my son, I can have another one.However, if you kill my son, your life will be forfeited, too. Remember, you only. have one life.”
“Wow, you’re more ruthless than I thought. To think you don’t even want your son! Well, in that case, Isuppose I’ll send Xandros here to the next life ahead of schedule. This handoff has failed, then.” Jareddidn’t want Lucian to notice his overwhelming desire to obtain the Divine Bow because he wanted to bein control of the situation.
“You hear that, Xandros? Your dad doesn’t want you because he can have another son. Time to die, Iguess. If you want someone to blame when you arrive in hell, don’t blame me. Blame your heartlessfather who couldn’t be bothered to save your life.” Upon ending his sentence, Jared gathered spiritualenergy in his palm.
Then, he sent his palm flying toward Xandros’ head.
Jared knew Lucian was bluffing. After all, if Xandros truly didn’t matter to Lucian, the latter wouldn’thave shown up at all.
Since Lucian came by, it was obvious he cared about Xandros to some capacity.
Seeing that Jared was trying to kill him, Xandros wailed at his father, “How can you be so cruel, Dad?I’m your biological son, and my mother died young! How can you do this to me…”
“Stop!” Finally, Lucian shouted right before Jared’s palm was about to touch Xandros’ head.
