Chapter 2429The cold metal on his skin made Kayden’s hair stand on end. He was utterly terrified. If Jared were to
move even an inch, his head would be displaced from his neck. Trembling in fear, Kayden threatened,
“J-Jared, do not, do not act rashly. If you kill me, my dad will never let you off the hook.”
When Lamar saw that his son had fallen into Jared’s hands, he broke out in a cold sweat and roared,
“Jared, let my son go! Otherwise, I’ll make sure you die a painful death!”
“Still threatening me when you’re already on your deathbed?” With a sneer, Jared raised the
Dragonslayer Sword and was about to swing it onto Kayden’s neck.
At that, the petrified Kayden screamed, “Don’t kill me! Please! I’ll promise you anything!” Urine trickled
down his legs. At the sight of Kayden’s pathetic state, Jared chuckled. Stopping his swing mid-air, he
teased, “Call me ‘Grandpa, and I’ll let you live.”
“Don’t you dare!” Lamar immediately yelled at his son when he heard Jared’s request. If Kayden were
to call Jared “Grandpa,” it would imply that Lamar was Jared’s son. In other words, Kayden would be
saying that Lamar owed Jared respect. Caught between a rock and a hard place, Kayden looked
troubled, unsure of what he should do. “If you refuse to do it, then die!”
With that, the Dragonslayer Sword in Jared’s hand neared Kayden’s neck. Kayden felt the coolness of
the blade touching him, then the warmth of his own blood.
“Grandpa! Grandpa! Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me…” Buckling under the pressure, Kayden gave in and
started addressing Jared as his grandfather, much to Lamar’s annoyance. Jared guffawed. “What a
good grandson you are.”
To make matters more embarrassing for Lamar, Chester and Wayne were looking at him. mockingly,
which made him feel thoroughly humiliated. “I’ve done what you’ve asked of me. C-Can your let me go
now?” Kayden cast a pleading look at Jared.“Of course!”
With a small smile, Jared drew his Dragonslayer Sword away from Kayden. Just as Kayden breathed a
sigh of relief, the Dragonslayer Sword in Jared’s hand struck his shoulder with a mighty blow. He fell
heavily onto the ground and coughed up fresh blood. The aura within his body shattered in a matter of
seconds.
“You…”
Kayden glared at Jared. “I’m not killing you because you’re still of some use to me!” Jared sneered. He
kept Kayden alive to steal the latter’s power for himself.
Ever since he found out how much his capabilities paled in comparison to Tanner’s, he began to have
an insatiable hunger for power once again. Having been made a fool by Jared, Kayden thundered in a
fury, “Dad, kill him! Kill him, I say!”
At that moment, Lamar’s expression had turned dark. In his perspective, death was nothing to be
feared. It was far worse to be toyed with and humiliated.
“I’m sure you’re already aware of some matters, Jared. Before the activation of Spiritual Energy
Restoration Formation, I won’t kill you, but I can make sure that you regret that you were ever born!”
Lamar declared.
A beam of light swirled around his body as he spoke. Within seconds, a purple robe appeared on his
body. “You’re just a lapdog for Evil Heart Sect, and I’ve already killed one of your kind.” Jared smirked.
“What? You killed a purple-robed emissary? That’s impossible!” Doubt was written all over Lamar’s
face. He did not believe that Jared had the power to kill a purple-robed emissary.“It’s up to you to believe me. But you’ll soon find out whether it’s possible or not!” Jared sneered. “In
that case, show me the power you have that allowed you to kill a purple-robed emissary!”
Once Lamar was done talking, a murderous and terrifying aura exuded from his body. Sensing the aura
within Lamar, Jared merely eyed him with disdain. “I wouldn’t even have to use all my strength to
annihilate you.”
After all, Lamar was not as powerful as Brad.
