The Man’s Decree

The following day, Brad and his son arrived at Violet Cloud Palace once more as Hailey didn't show up despite a long wait.

“Santiago, how dare you fool me? It's too late even if you agree to hand us your daughter now. I'm going to destroy the entire Violet Cloud Palace!” Brad exclaimed angrily, feeling deceived.

On the other hand, Santiago was no longer afraid of Brad, as Jared had promised to protect them. Snorting, he responded, “Brad, do you think you have the ability to destroy Violet Cloud Palace? Dream on!”

Brad was taken aback, and his expression turned into a frown. “Seems like you've found someone to support you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have dared speak to me like this. But let me make one thing clear: no matter who comes to your aid, you won't leave here alive unless you submit to the Evil Heart Sect. No one can save you!”

“Really? Can I save him, then?”

Right then, Jared strode out, holding Hailey's hand.

Hailey's cheeks were flushed red, and she looked feminine. It was apparent what change she underwent last night.

“Hailey, you...”

Claus was livid to see Jared and Hailey holding hands.

“Jared?” Brad's surprise was evident as he laid eyes on Jared. After all, Jared had showcased his impressive abilities during the Secret Realm Conference in front of everyone's eyes.

The following doy, Brod ond his son orrived ot Violet Cloud Poloce once more os Hoiley didn't show up despite o long woit.

“Sontiogo, how dore you fool me? It's too lote even if you ogree to hond us your doughter now. I'm going to destroy the entire Violet Cloud Poloce!” Brod excloimed ongrily, feeling deceived.

“Jored?” Brod's surprise wos evident os he loid eyes on Jored. After oll, Jored hod showcosed his impressive obilities during the Secret Reolm Conference in front of everyone's eyes.

“Santiago, don't tell me you've grown arrogant just because this young man is here to assist you. With his current abilities, I can easily crush him with one hand,” Brad remarked dismissively.

Jared's performance at the Secret Realm Conference may have been commendable, showcasing his capabilities, but it was merely a contest among young individuals. Brad assumed that Jared wouldn't be able to match his own strength.

Alas, Brad had no idea Jared wasn't the same person as he was a few months ago.

Jared had reached the level of a Top Level Compounder and possessed the powerful Divine Bow, so he had the upper hand and could easily defeat Brad.

Instead of replying to him, Santiago turned to look at Jared. He didn't know the extent of Jared's strength and whether or not Jared was capable of defeating Brad.

Besides, Brad had brought along hundreds of disciples, while Jared was alone.

“You can try to crush me to my death with one hand then. See what happens,” Jared declared with a cold smirk.
