Chapter 3180


    “Haha, you fool! There’s plenty more where that came from. It was all an act to trick you into


    releasing all your marked aura,” Jared said as he guffawed.


    “H-How did you learn about marked aura?” Remus’ eyes opened wide in shock, for marked aura


    was a form of aura wielded by those of Hadad’s lineage. It enabled them to summon spirits and


    raise the dead. Thus, he didn’t expect Jared to know about it.


    “I know about it because I have it too.”


    No sooner had Jared finished than marked aura began emanating from his body, and in the blink of


    an eye, encapsted Remus and Xandros in it. Sensing Jared’s marked aura, Remus spoke in


    awe. “A-Are you a disciple of Hadad too?”


    Jared scoffed, “Bah, I’m no disciple of Hadad’s. Instead, I saved that old fogey’s life. Logically


    speaking, you should be kneeling before me, as I’m his savior.”


    Remus obviously didn’t believe Jared. Staring daggers at thetter, he said, “So, it turns out that


    you were pretending all along in order to absorb the marked aura. No wonder you didn’t allow


    others to help you.”

    “You have finally realized the truth, but it’s toote,” Jared gloated.


    “Since you possess the marked aura of Hadad’s lineage, you are considered part of it even if you’re


    not a disciple. Because of that, both of us share a bond. Why don’t we treat what happened today


    as a misunderstanding? If you release me, I’ll report it to King Lucian and get him to spare you. You


    need to realize the situation now. Imperial Beast City is on itsst legs, and taking its side will only


    lead you to your doom,” Remus persuaded Jared.


    Jared couldn’t believe how naive Remus was for expecting Jared to let him go.


    “Hahah, you truly are clueless. If Hadad knew that he had such a stupid disciple like you, he would


    be exasperated. I have now taken both of you prisoner, yet you dare make demands of me?”


    Right then, Jared grabbed at thin air, causing Remus to fly into his grip. Just like amb awaiting


    ughter, Remus had zero ability to resist.


    Meanwhile, Xandros trembled at the sight before him. He didn’t dare flee because he knew that


    there was no escaping Jared.


    As for Remus, he was seized by terror while being in Jared’s grip. With a fearful expression, he


    pleaded in a trembling voice, “We’re of the same lineage, so please don’t kill me. I can choose to


    withdraw from this conflict and stop fighting you.”


    Remus could only beg for mercy when he realized threats were useless against Jared.


    “Didn’t I f*cking tell you that I’m not a Demonic Cultivator, let alone share the same lineage as you?


    Stop trying to lump us together into the same group. That said, you can rest assured that I won’t kill


    you. I still have other uses for you alive.”


    With that, Jared released Remus but grabbed Xandros’ cor immediately after. Xandros felt a chill


    run down his spine as he attempted a brief struggle. “Jared, let me go! Let me go! If you kill me, my


    father won’t forgive you. Imperial Beast City will be annihted together with you-”


    p! Jared’s scathing strike upon Xandros caused his mouth to swell, the impact rendering the


    latter speechless.


    “If I hear another word from you, I’ll castrate you and hang you at the city gates,” Jared warned as


    he shot Xandros a re. Overwhelmed with fear, Xandros gulped continuously.


    Jared turned toward Remus, saying, “Go back and tell your king that I have his son. If he wants to


    see his son live, he’ll have to do as I say.”
