“Where’s that old fart?” Tavon began to ask.

Everyone was slightly taken aback. Their attention then swiftly shifted toward Jared.

Jared was somewhat at a loss for words. Why’s everyone looking at me? It’s not like I was the one who called for Infinides.

Gatlin pointed at Jared and spoke. “Mr. Lorthan, that young man is Jared. He has powerful backers, including Infinides, who came to aid him.”

“I have no idea where Infinides is.” Jared shook his head. “He wasn’t here to assist me anyway.”

“Mr. Lorthan, this Jared only calls upon his powerful protector when he’s on the brink of death,” Talcott whispered into Tavon’s ear.

“What a hassle.” Tavon’s brow furrowed slightly. “I’d be laughed at if I were to lay a hand on a Tribulator cultivator. Anyway, go deal with him. Beat him up badly, but don’t kill him.”
