Chapter 5077 Count To Three
Jared scoffed. "You dare to boast with just that? If the Murray family only has this
to offer, you might as well retire early."
"B*stard!"
Unable to contain himself any longer, Cadmus took matters into his own hands.
He was a Wandering Immortal Realm Level Five, considered a prodigy among his
younger peers.
"You're courting death!"
In a fit of rage, Cadmus unleashed a burst of white light from his sleeve. It
transformed into sharp blades, aiming straight for Jared's face.
In his eyes, those of the Wandering Immortal Realm Level Three were nothing
more than ants compared to him, a Wandering Immortal Realm Level Five. With
this strike, he intended to cripple Jared on the spot.
However, before the cold light could reach him, Jared flicked his fingertips,
sending forth a golden sword energy that tore through the air. In an instant, it
shredded the white light into fragments.
Cadmus' eyes abruptly narrowed. He was still processing what was happening
when Jared had already closed in on him. His index and middle fingers came
together like a blade, pressing against his throat. "You have three seconds to
apologize to Jemina," he demanded.
"How... How dare you touch me?"
Cadmus' voice trembled, but he still forced himself to speak. "I am the legitimate
heir of the Murray family. If you dare harm me, my entire family will never let you
off the hook!"
"Oh?"
Jared raised an eyebrow, applying a subtle pressure with his fingertips. Instantly,
Cadmus felt a tightness in his throat, his breathing becoming labored.
His face turned crimson, and he looked around in terror, only to find that the
higher-ups of the Murray family were either showing signs of apprehension or
turning their faces away. Astonishingly, not a single person dared to step forward
and help.
"Three..." Jared began to count.
"Two..."
"I... I'll apologize!"
Cadmus could no longer bear it, and he cried out, "Jemina, I'm sorry! I shouldn't
have insulted you... Please make him stop!"
Jared released his grip, causing Cadmus to stagger backward. Clutching his
throat, Cadmus couldn't stop coughing, his eyes filled with resentment.
Meanwhile, the entire place fell into silence.
No one could have anticipated that Cadmus, a Wandering Immortal Realm Level
Five, would stand powerless before Jared, a mere Wandering Immortal Realm
Level Three.
With a complex look in his eyes, Douglas turned to Jared. "Young man, your skills
are extraordinary. May I ask who's your mentor?"
If Jared had the backing of a
powerful sect or expert, then the
Murray family could align
themselves with him. They wouldn't
have to tread lightly around
Heavenfall Pavilion anymore.
Jared responded nonchalantly, "I belong to no sect or clan. I'm just a wandering
cultivator."
A shiver ran through Douglas. Could a wandering cultivator possess such
strength? This young man is certainly not to be underestimated!
"Uncle Douglas!"
With a frosty gaze, Cadmus looked
at Jared and said, "He dared to
cause trouble in the Murray family.
He can't be let off easily! And his
involvement with Jemina
With a stern voice, Douglas berated, "Enough! Aren't you embarrassed enough?
I'm the head of the house. It's not your place to tell me what to do!"
Subsequently, Douglas turned to Jared, his tone mellowed. "Young man, this
incident is due to my family's lack of discipline. I hope you can understand."
Jared waved his hand with a smile. "No worries. I just can't stand some people.
They lack abilities, yet they shift the blame onto women."
Cadmus' face was ashen, his fists clenched so tightly that they were making a
cracking sound, yet he dared not make another sound.
"Since you're a friend of Jemina, and it's already late, you should stay here. Let
Jemina make the arrangements for you!" Douglas stated.
"Thank you, Mr. Murray!" Jared expressed his gratitude with a respectful bow.
Jared followed Jemina as they departed, leaving behind Cadmus, who watched
them go, his eyes filled with a bitter resentment.
Cadmus turned and slipped into a secret room stealthily, crushing a
communication charm in his hand.
A moment later, an ethereal figure emerged. It was none other than Dexton from
Heavenfall Pavilion.
"Mr. Cadmus, how did things go?" Dexton asked with a sly grin.
With gritted teeth, Cadmus said, "Jemina is back, but she brought along a guy
named Jared. This guy's strength is somewhat freakish."
"I know. Don't underestimate Jared," Dexton cautioned.
"Mr. Draycott, will this guy's sudden appearance affect my position as the head of
the Murray family?" Cadmus asked anxiously.
"It's unlikely. There's no way Jared
would spend his entire life at the
Murray residence. Moreover, I'll
personally visit with Mr. Aldwychnoveldrama
tomorrow. All you need to do is...
The whispers of conspiracy gradually grew hushed.
What do you think?
