CHAPTER 2854 EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE
Upon witnessing the scene before them, the two clanspeople with Vasily quickly stepped forward to bring Vasker under control.
“I'm sorry you had to see that, Mr. Chance,” Vasily said rather sheepishly before waving his people off. “Take him away...”
Within seconds, Vasker was escorted out of the courtyard.
As soon as he saw the guards near the entrance, he yelled to get their attention, “Help! Help! There's been a fight, and I was beat up...”
Vasily, too, had a noticeable change in his expression when he noticed the Jipsdale guards, prompting him to turn to his clanspeople. “I want you guys to bring Vasker back. I'll stay behind to accept the punishment in Jipsdale.”
With that, the two men nodded and moved forward with Vasker firmly in their grip while Vasily prepared himself for the guards' interrogation and punishment.
“Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Let's go...” Jared said smilingly as he gave Vasily a pat on the shoulder.
Even though the latter didn't understand what Jared meant, he did as instructed and followed the man.
“Help! Please help me!” Vasily once again cried out when he passed the guards, clearly making a last-ditch effort to save his skin.
On the contrary, Vasily was a bundle of nerves as he braced himself for questioning.
To everyone's surprise, Vasker's screams seemed to fall on deaf ears, with the guards looking away and pretending not to see anything.
Dumbfounded, Vasily could only stare at the guards in utter disbelief.
Even when they had walked some distance away, none of the guards chased after them.
“How odd! What's with those guards today?” a perplexed Vasily wondered aloud.
Jared curled his lips into a smile. “Didn't I tell you everything will be fine with me here?”
All at once, the realization hit Vasily as he looked at Jared with incredulity. Oh, I see... Those guards ignored us because of Jared! However, why do they fear him so much? Jared has merely reached Second Level Body Fusion Realm, and even the guards are on a higher level than him. Why should they be scared of him? Wait a minute... If it isn't because of his power, it must be his status!
Vasily drew a sharp breath. Oh, gosh... What kind of status and influence does he have? How is he getting off scot-free despite blatantly breaking the rules in Jipsdale?
Just then, one of the Jipsdale guards hastily approached Jared. “Mr. Chance, you guys can leave through the north gate.”
“Got it!” Jared replied with a nod.
After giving a polite bow, the guard promptly took his leave.
Jared knew Hester must have asked around and learned that Thunderhawk wasn't at the north gate. They could leave Jipsdale via that route. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Upon seeing the guard treat Jared with such respect, Vasily became even more convinced that the latter was no ordinary man.
Soon, the group of people left Jipsdale through the north gate.
“Mr. Chance, where are you guys going now?” Vasily asked.
“I plan to go to the far north to look for the treasure. Truth be told, I bought one of the treasure maps your brother was selling,” Jared answered frankly.
Vasily instantly beamed with excitement. “Are you going on a treasure hunt, Mr. Chance? That's great! We're heading in the same direction, and I know the far north like the back of my hand. I might be able to help you locate the treasure!”
Jared, however, felt a little embarrassed and bewildered. I can't possibly get him to help me dig for his ancestors' treasure, can I? Wouldn't that be crossing the line? More importantly, why is he offering his assistance?
“Vasily, aren't you guys angry that someone's trying to dig up the Archaic Body cultivators' treasure? Won't you all want to do the same and beat the others to it?”
