Swoosh!
Before Simon even realized what was going on, his right arm, which was holding on to the remaining
half of his sword, had been sliced off at the shoulder.
It all happened so quickly that the blood vessels didn’t even have time to start bleeding.
Those standing around him could clearly see his flesh and bone through the open wound. It was a truly
gruesome sight to behold. Blood came spraying out of the wound about a secondter, and the
agonizing pain caused Simon to scream at the top of his lungs.
Everyone was frozen in shock when they saw that. Even Jessica found it a little hard to believe her
eyes.
Jared then raised Dragonyer Sword and pointed its tip at Simon’s forehead.
All it would take was a little push to drive the de through Simon’s skull.
The people around them quickly leaped to their feet and surrounded Jared. They were all dripping with
murderous intent as they red daggers at him.
Fearing that things would escte even further, Jessica stepped forward and tried to talk Jared out of
it. “Please calm down, Mr. Chance! If you kill Simon, then you will destroy your only chance at
coborating with Demon Sect! You won’t be able to save your girlfriend, then!”
It wasn’t until Jared heard Jessica mention Josephine that he slowly put Dragonyer Sword away.
Simon shot Jared a fierce re before sitting down and letting someone bandage his wound. That was
when Patrick showed up with a masked man standing next to him.
The man was wearing a somewhat funny-looking bronze mask with rings decorating the sides of it.
Huh… Why would the leader of Demon Sect wear a mask?
Is he afraid of being recognized or something?
“Mr. Chance, our leader wears a mask because his face was badly injured,” Jessica exined softly.
“What’s going on here?” Patrick asked coldly when he saw the blood and Simon’s severed arm on the
floor.
“Simon challenged Mr. Chance to a swordfight and got injured by ident, Mr. Sullivan,” Jessica
replied.
“What nonsense is this? Our leader invited Mr. Chance over as a guest! Is this any way to treat our
guest? Get out of here, you worthless pieces of trash! Oh, and remember to reattach that arm as soon
as possible!” Patrick yelled sternly.
The sect members simply nodded and left without saying anything. Simon, too, grabbed his severed
arm and ran off as quickly as his legs could carry him.
“You can leave too, Jessica,” Patrick added with a wave.
“Understood,” Jessica replied with a nod and stepped outside.
Patrick then broke into a smile and motioned for Jared to sit down. “Please have a seat, Mr. Chance…”
Although Jared was seated rather near to the sect leader of Demon Sect, he couldn’t seem to detect
the sect leader’s aura at all.
Huh… Is this sect leader so powerful that he can hide his aura from me?
Jared felt rather bewildered and puzzled.
“I have invited you here today to discuss a coboration, Mr. Chance. If you hand us the blood demon’s
body, we will help you rescue your girlfriend,” the sect leader said in a somewhat hoarse voice.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
In fact, it sounded as though it took him a lot of effort just to force those words out of his throat.
“I don’t mind handing the blood demon’s body over to you guys, but how would I know if you guys are
truly capable of saving my girlfriend?” Jared asked casually.
“I’m sure you already know this by now, but your girlfriend is currently trapped in the secret realm. The
Warriors Alliance is backed by Evil Heart Sect. We used to be on the same side but went our separate
ways due to differences in our ideals. I know how to open the door to Evil Heart Sect’s secret realm,
but you will have to find its exact location yourself,” said the sect leader of Demon Sect.
“Oh, so you guys can only tell me how to open the door to the secret realm? That doesn’t sound like a
very good deal to me!” Jared said with a sneer.
