Chapter 395 Rumors
Meanwhile, in a restaurant in Summerbank, people were talking about Jared’s battle with Venicus.
Although it had been a few days after the incident, it remained a hot topic of discussion among the people.
“Jared was unbelievable, man! He had the head of the Jantz family on his knees before killing him with a slap! It’s a shame you guys didn’t get to see it!”
“I’m surprised that sage-like old man turned out to be a mage! He unleashed his pet ghosts at Jared, only to have Jared swallow them all in one go!”
“Despite Jared’s young age, I doubt anyone in Summerbank is capable of beating him at all! The Wagner family tried to make him the head of the Warriors Alliance, but he straight-up refused the offer! Just imagine being the head of the Warriors Alliance, man! I would’ve accepted that offer in a heartbeat!”
“I bet Jared is an immortal reincarnated or something! A few of them were protecting him in the arena that day!”
Several young men were having a few drinks while discussing the incidents that took place in the arena.
Most of the people didn’t actually see what happened and were only spreading rumors that they heard from others.
A man wearing a robe was having lunch at a nearby table, and he pricked his ears when he overheard the conversation.
“Excuse me, may I know what you guys were talking about? I heard you mention ghosts and immortals, and it sounded rather interesting,” the robed man said as he approached them with his glass in hand.
The young men looked up at him in unison, and one of them asked, “You’re not from Summerbank, are you?”
The robed man shook his head. “No, I’m from the southwest. I only came here to do business.”
“Ah, that explains why you weren’t aware of such a huge incident! So, there’s this young man in his twenties, right? His name is Jared, and he killed an Internal Energy Grandmaster in one hit. He also killed this other guy called Master Venicus or something. I hear that the second guy is also from the southwest!” one of the young men explained.
A cold glint appeared in the robed man’s eyes when he heard that, but it vanished a second later. The robed man then flashed them a smile as he asked, “Jared must be a very powerful guy if he managed to defeat an Internal Energy Grandmaster! Do you happen to know where he lives?”
“What, do you want to spar with him? If that’s the case, I suggest you drop that idea right now. Apparently, Jared refuses to see any guests. Many heads of martial arts families have tried to visit him, but they all ended up being turned away. He is currently staying at the Jantz family’s mansion,” said one of the young men while pointing in the direction of the mansion.
The robed man shot a cold glance at the mansion’s location and walked right out of the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Tommy had been standing guard for a few days on end outside the Jantz family’s mansion.
In order to ensure that no one would come and cause trouble, Phoenix had hundreds of her men patrolling the area surrounding the mansion.
Tommy, too, had hundreds of men from Horington surrounding the mansion for added security.
I wonder if Jared has completed his cultivation process yet…
Tommy thought to himself as he stared at the white fog in the room.
At the same time, the robed man had arrived and he had a deep frown on his face as he observed the mansion from a nearby street. “This guy really is a powerful one… Now it makes sense why he was able to kill Venicus,” he mumbled to himself when he saw the white fog above the mansion.
He then took a step forward, disappearing from his current location in an instant. A second later, he was standing in front of the mansion.
“Who are you?” asked one of the guards when he saw the robed man appear out of nowhere.
