Moreover, he was holding Jaime’s token. To Niel, this was the ultimate humiliation.
After ordering his men to inform Ricky, Niel personally led a group toward the city gates.
“Mr. Niel, making such a big scene might not be wise, isn’t it? Jared has General Jaime’s token and is now considered a foreign official. If we want to deal with him, it’s better to inform the patriarch first,” someone reminded Niel cautiously.
“Hmph, if Jared dares to leave the city, we’ll ambush him outside and leave his corpse in the wild. What can General Jaime do about it? If Jaime dares to come after me, my father won’t let him off. Don’t worry about it,” Niel sneered.
With that, Niel led his men away.
The fierce aura radiating from Niel was relentless. Although other cultivators didn’t dare release their aura in Beast City, Niel did so openly.
After all, who was he?
The son of the Buckley family, whose father was one of the Three Beast Generals.
When the city lord wasn’t around, his father effectively ruled Beast City.
Who would dare intervene when he released his aura?
Meanwhile, Jared had already caught up with Mia as she left the city.
The guards at the gates didn’t stop them. Inspections were only conducted upon entry, and no one cared when you were leaving.
Ezio trailed behind, muttering incessantly, “You’re so stubborn. Didn’t you hear the saying ‘follow the man you marry, be he fowl or cur’? You’ve already slept with Jared and is now his, so why are you still resisting? Staying with him would be great! You’d live a good life. Don’t forget, I only got out of that prison thanks to Jared. You should take care of him, give birth to a son for him, and raise your son together with him. Why are you running away instead? Let’s see how far you think you can go!”
Ezio’s nonstop nagging only made Mia run faster.
Jared glanced at Ezio helplessly. “Would you shut up? I haven’t even touched Mia, so stop spouting nonsense.”
“Jared, don’t try to fool me. I heard everything last night. Mia was moaning so happily. How could that be fake? Don’t worry, I’ll talk some sense into that stubborn girl,” Ezio promised.
Ezio thought Jared was lying to him, so he quickened his pace to catch up with Mia.
Jared watched the two siblings run off and decided not to follow them. Instead, he turned toward the southern part of the city. Gordon had told him that a hundred miles south of the city stood a large tree where his sister, Elena, could be found.
Jared planned to find her first to confirm the existence of the celestial crystal vein mine.
However, as soon as Jared turned, he noticed several distinct presences approaching him.
Frowning slightly, Jared realized it had to be Niel’s men tracking him. After all, Niel was the only one he had a grudge with in Beast City.
Whether it was Niel or not, Jared decided to stop and deal with the pursuers. If they continued to follow him, the matter of the celestial crystal vein mine might be exposed.
He had to deal with them before he could continue his search for the celestial crystal vein mine in peace.
“So, you’re not running anymore?”
Niel’s voice rang out as several figures emerged, led by Niel himself.
He stood there with a sinister smile, his gaze fixed on Jared.
As Niel spoke, his men quietly took their positions, encircling Jared to block any escape route.
They were all Third Level Tribulator cultivators, and it was clear their intentions were hostile.
“What do you want?” Jared asked.
“What do I want? Isn’t it obvious? I want revenge! You thought you could just walk away after attacking me? And don’t forget, breaking out of prison is a capital offense. It won’t be long before Captain Ricky shows up to drag you back to your cell. Then you’ll wish you were dead,” Niel sneered.
