In the imperial city, Bernard and numerous Allardland cultivators had also witnessed that horrifying spectacle.
Bernard had planned to lead his men to prevent that person from storming into the imperial city.
But just as preparations were made, a beam of white light pierced the void, striking the shadowy figure before they could get a clear look. The other party instantly disintegrated into nothingness.
Even though Bernard couldn’t see who the person was, he was certain that their abilities far surpassed his own.
Yet, they had vanished without a trace.
With a look of astonishment, Cedric asked, “Father, could this… be the fortune that Mr. Sanders has bestowed upon Allardland?”
“It should be!” Bernard nodded.
Arthur had bestowed upon Allardland the fortune of thousands of years. This signified that throughout these thousands of years, Allardland would remain unthreatened.
As long as the people of Allardland didn’t casually step out of their territory, one could say that the entire Allardland was an invincible entity.
No one could infiltrate Allardland to commit murder.
Jared hadn’t expected that with just a casual wave of his hand, Arthur could actually ensure the longevity of Allardland.
It was truly incredible.
Bernard arrived at Jared’s room and said, “Mr. Chance, the aura that once surrounded Allardland has almost completely dissipated. However, there are still three traces of it, lingering above Allardland, showing no signs of leaving anytime soon!”
“I’ll go meet them. I’m guessing they won’t leave until they’ve seen me!”
Jared had already discerned the identities of the three individuals. He slowly rose to his feet and then promptly left the room, his body leaping into action.
Up in the air, Fraser, Theobauld, and Salathiell were waiting for Jared to show up when they suddenly noticed a ripple in the void.
Jared’s figure gradually emerged. Upon seeing Jared, Fraser didn’t seem to be surprised at all.
Theobauld and Salathiell, on the other hand, looked at Jared in shock. They didn’t expect Jared to be so young.
“Did the three of you come here because of the Decree of Execution?” Jared asked, looking at them.
In reality, Jared had known about Fraser’s identity for quite some time. He just couldn’t admit it.
He had no choice but to feign ignorance. He had punched and cursed at his elder brother-in-law. Even his mother-in-law was not spared from the verbal onslaught. All Jared could do now was to maintain his pretense.
As the saying goes, one who errs unknowingly need not be held responsible. By pretending to be unaware of Fraser’s identity, Jared could be forgiven even if he did something inappropriate.
“We are-” Theobauld was just about to introduce himself when Fraser raised his hand to stop him. He turned to Jared and said, “That’s right! We came specifically because of that!”
Jared glanced at Fraser and suddenly chuckled. “You’ve already reached Immortal Realm, a state where one could be said to be free from all desires. Why are you so concerned about a mere hundred thousand celestial crystals?”
Fraser’s brow furrowed slightly. He didn’t quite understand what Jared meant.
A hundred thousand celestial crystals seemed like nothing extraordinary to Jared.
He wondered just how wealthy Jared was to not even bat an eye at a hundred thousand celestial crystals.
“What are you playing at, kid? This is a hundred thousand celestial crystals we’re talking about. Quit pretending to be some rich kid,” Theobauld said disdainfully.
“Even though I’m not some rich kid, a hundred thousand celestial crystals really don’t mean anything to me. If you guys are short on celestial crystals, just stick with me. I can provide for you,” Jared replied with a smile.
“What?” Fraser, Theobauld, and Salathiell were utterly taken aback. They never imagined that Jared would actually try to win them over.
“Not to hide anything from the three of you,” Jared continued, “I possess a celestial crystal vein mine…”
Fraser, Theobauld, and Salathiell fell silent.
The term “celestial crystal vein mine” was quite specialized. In the Ethereal Realm, these mines had been depleted long ago.
The celestial crystals they had now were all gathered bit by bit through scavenging.
As a result, celestial crystals became extremely rare.
This scarcity allowed so many Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Nine experts to be manipulated for a mere hundred thousand celestial crystals.
