After Rainier had left, everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Jared, on the other hand, bowed farewell to Rory before turning around to leave.
Upon seeing the situation, Alastair quickly gave chase, trailing closely behind Jared.
To him, Jared was akin to a financial backer.
Seeing Alastair in his oversized shorts, Jared felt helpless. He took out a purple spirit coin and said, “Go buy some clothes and keep the rest for yourself.”
“Thank you, Mr. Chance. Rest assured. I’ll certainly be able to repay you because I know you’re bound to win. When that happens, I’ll be rich. You’re betting at a ten-to-one ratio with Aiden. If you win, our stakes will increase tenfold.” Alastair was brimming with excitement.
He was convinced that Jared could win!
Jared looked at Alastair with a playful expression and asked, “If I can’t win, wouldn’t that mean you’d end up with nothing?”
“That’s impossible. Even if you really do lose, considering your nature, there’s no way you’ll leave me penniless. You’ll definitely return the bet I lost, Alastair said.
Upon hearing that, Jared was momentarily at a loss for words. It turns out this guy has planned everything in advance. If I win, he’ll be making a fortune. If I lose, given my nature, I’ll never let him go without clothes. I’ll definitely give him money. After all, I’m not short of money. Alastair sure schemes well.
Jared gave a casual smile and said, “All right. Go ahead and buy some clothes. If I really lose, I’ll give you all the money I have. By then, I might not even be alive, so what use will money be?”
Upon hearing that, Alastair hastily responded awkwardly, “There’s no way you’ll lose, Mr. Chance. You won’t lose.”
After speaking, Alastair hurried off to buy clothes. After all, his appearance at that moment was rather unseemly.
After Alastair left, someone suddenly called out to Jared. “Mr. Chance!”
Two attractive figures were walking in Jared’s direction.
Jared looked over, only to discover that it was the Nieva arriving with Yuliya. “Ms. Nieva.”
“Mr. Chance, I presumed you would be arriving in Southedge City soon, so I decided to descend the mountain and try my luck. I didn’t expect to actually run into you. It’s been less than a month, and you’ve already advanced to a Seventh Level Tribulator. That’s truly impressive! With the pace of your progress, it won’t be long before you ascend into immortals,” remarked Nieva.
“You’re flattering me. Become immortals isn’t that easy,” Jared responded with a laugh.
“Ms. Nieva, let’s find a place to talk. This bustling street is hardly suitable for conversation,” Yuliya said.
“That’s right. Let’s find a place to talk.” Nieva nodded, leading Jared and the others to settle down in a place they found.
Jared wouldn’t be leaving Southedge City before the fight, so Nieva would also not be returning to Lunarius Palace. Hence, having a place to stay was essential.
While Jared had finally settled down in Southedge City, far away in the northern region, tens of thousands of miles away, in the headquarters of Demon Seal Alliance, Talcott sat upright in his seat, his face adorned with a grimace.
Zayan was covered in wounds, his gaze unfocused as he spoke. “Mr. Lefterov, Allardland brazenly acted against us and even openly supported Jared. This is simply outrageous. I think we should devise a plan to teach Allardland a lesson, ensuring they stop meddling in Jared’s affairs.”
“Teach them a lesson? How do you propose we do that?” Talcott wore a cold expression, his eyes wide open. “Or perhaps you suggest we march into Allardland and teach them a lesson?”
“I-I lack the strength.” Zayan hastily shook his head in fear.
A general from Allardland was already capable of annihilating the Foster family. If it weren’t for Zayan’s quick thinking and fleeing beforehand, he would’ve been wiped out by now.
He certainly didn’t have the capability to lead people to stir up trouble at Allardland.
