Jared’s palm stopped only a few centimeters away from Xandros’ head. If Lucian had spoken up one
second late, Xandros’ head would’ve exploded.
“You have a deal. Release my son, and you can have the Divine Bow.” As Lucian spoke, he presented
the Divine Bow. Jared’s eyes glinted when the Divine Bow was finally within his sight.
Then, he commanded, “Hand the Divine Bow over to me first. Then, I’ll release your son. Considering
you have an army with you while I’m all alone, I’m not that stupid to free your son first.”
“What if you go against your word after I hand the Divine Bow to you?” questioned Lucian.
“Do you think you have any other options right now? You have no other choice but to believe me. If you
don’t, this deal is off. I’ll kill your son and hang his body on the walls to boost morale, spat Jared before
turning around, preparing to leave with Xandros.
Lucian hesitated because he didn’t want to hand the Divine Bow over to Jared just like that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRemus approached Lucian and said, “While Jared is powerful, he’s alone, King Lucian. He can have
the Divine Bow first. I doubt he can pull one over us. After we rescue Mr. Xandros, we’ll commence our
attack on the city immediately. The Divine Bow will return to us either way once we destroy the city.”
Upon hearing that, Lucian gritted his teeth, then turned to Jared. “Fine. I’ll hand you the Divine Bow
first. However, if you fail to keep your word and refuse to free my son, I will tear you into pieces!”
Instead of replying, Jared slapped Xandros at few more times. His reaction to every instance of
Lucian’s threat was to hit Xandros.
Xandros cried in agony. As infuriated as Lucian was, there was nothing he could do. He couldn’t afford
to since his son’s life was still in Jared’s hands.
Seeing that his son was slapped again, Lucian didn’t have the nerve to speak. He tossed the Divine
Bow toward Jared. Jared stretched his hand and grabbed ther Divine Bow.
As he sensed the aura pulsing from the weapon, he was overjoyed. At last, the Divine Bow has
returned to me! Gazing at Jared, Lucian asked, “I’ve given you the Divine Bow, Jared. Can you release
my son now?”
“Of course. I’m a man of my word. Now that I’ve received the Divine Bow, your son is free to go.” Jared
promptly tossed Xandros toward Lucian.
Upon seeing that, Lucian leaped into the air, caught Xandros, and landed back on the ground.
Concurrently, Jared rapidly retreated back into the city. Once Lucian settled Xandros down, he roared,
“Don’t think you can escape, brat!”
Swiftly, Remus blocked Lucian’s path. “You mustn’t chase after him, King Lucian. There’s no doubt
arcane arrays are installed around Imperial Beast City. If you follow him, you’ll be in danger. If anything
happens to you, we’ll be left rudderless. I think we should stick to our plan of invading the city. Once the
city falls, they won’t be able to escape!”
Lucian thought about Remus’ words and found they made sense. Thus, he waved his hand. “Attack!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn an instant, over ten thousand soldiers marched toward Imperial Beast City. The invasion had
commenced.
Yuven, who was watching from above the wall, furrowed his eyebrows. “Everyone, ready for battle!”
When Jared heard the enemy army was advancing, he stood in his spot instead of running into Imperial
Beast City. Quietly, he gazed at the soldiers before him.
Everyone was dumbfounded by his inaction, unsure of what he was planning to do. They couldn’t help
but wonder if he was going to stop the army by himself.
“Come back, Mr. Chance!” shouted Yuven.
“Return to us, Jared! Quickly!”
“Come back!”
Quinley and the others shouted. However, Jared remained unmoved. He put away Divine Bow,
summoned Dragonslayer Sword, and activated Golem Body.
