The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4338

However, throughout the past three days, the elderly man who once conversed with Jared remained aloof and seemingly harbored a hint of wariness toward him.

When the girl with the sachet went anywhere near him, especially, the elderly man would always appear and stop her from approaching him.

Though he didn't quite understand why, he didn't overly concern himself with it.

At the end of the day, he didn't really have any feelings for the girl, and it was just a misunderstanding.

Jared planned to leave with Cloud the next day, then travel through the central region to pick Feenix up before heading to Divine Smithing Sect at Greenoxen Peak to check it out.

When he had repaired Dragonslayer Sword and freed his sword spirit, Zelda, he could then return to Emerald Cauldron Sect to look in on Quinley, Aislin, and the others while also visiting Yuven.

After all, he had been away for an extended period. During his time in Epea, he had met up with Viola. However, he hadn't done so with any of the other girls yet.

That went doubly for Quinley, who hadn't been with him for long before they parted ways. To that very day, they hadn't seen each other again.

Jared's plan upon returning to the northern region this time was to meet up with the few girls and also have Quinley return to the Tall residence to visit her family.

He reckoned that he could also take the opportunity to inquire about Josephine's whereabouts. Ever since she vanished in the far north, there had been no news of her, putting him in a constant state of worry.

But the northern region housed the headquarters of Demon Seal Alliance, so he had to be extremely cautious and conceal his movements if he wanted to go there.

As Jared contemplated his next course of action, his room door was suddenly pushed open.

Who would come at this hour?

Springing to his feet, he shot his hand out at the intruder in one swift motion.

“Mr. Chance, it's me.”

Just as Jared was about to catch the person, she spoke.

Upon hearing her voice, Jared recognized her as the girl with the sachet.

“Of course. Since I made a promise to Prince Cedric, I'll certainly take you to him,” Jared assured with a nod.

“No way!” No sooner had Jared agreed than someone suddenly barged in from outside the door. It was none other than the elderly man who had been guarding Scarlette.

“Ms. Scarlette, we're under orders to escort you home. Throughout the journey, many of us lost our lives. Even the two of us almost died at the hands of Blood Bone Sect. Are you truly that ruthless as to go back to Epea?”

The elderly man's face was etched with grief and indignation, his eyes brimming with unshed tears.

“Mr. Lazlo, I...”

Seeing him in such a state, Scarlette was also instantly filled with sorrow.

“Ms. Scarlette, if you insist on going back to Epea, you might as well kill me. As long as I'm alive, I'll never allow you to do so. I promised Mr. Castenada that I would find you and bring you home no matter what!”

The elderly man's gaze was unwavering, radiating an air of absolute resolution.
