Chapter 387: Why Did You Stop Me?

"You can't kill me! I'm part of the Crescent Sect. If you kill me, Mr. Quillen will go after you!" Venicus gazed fearfully at Jared.

"Are you threatening me?" Jared's brows furrowed. "I hate being threatened."

Jared didn't give Venicus a chance to respond. He struck him down, killing him instantly. Then, he bent down, retrieved a thousand-year-old ginseng from Venicus's chest, and smiled.

He kept the ginseng and turned his gaze to Zachariah, who immediately fell to his knees. As head of the Summerbank Jantz family and a director of the Warriors Alliance, his humble bow before the young man in his twenties stunned the onlookers. The crowd watched in bewilderment; a martial artist would rather die than be humiliated, yet this man chose survival.

Zachariah, however, didn't care about appearances. Survival was paramount. "It's useless to have a good reputation if you're dead," he muttered. He pleaded with Jared, "Mr. Chance, please spare my life! I'll give you all the Jantz family herbs—many are over a hundred years old!"

"I killed your daughter and son," Jared said coldly. "If I let you go, will you seek revenge?"

"No! My children offended you; they deserved it. If I retaliate, I deserve to die," Zachariah swore, desperate to save his life.

Jared looked skeptical. "Why should I trust someone who doesn't care about his children? I let him go today, he might attack me tomorrow!"

Phoenix immediately warned, "Mr. Chance, you can't let him go. He's cunning; he'll seek revenge."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Jared smiled, glancing at Zachariah. "If you'd defeated me, would you have spared my life?"

Zachariah stared fearfully, about to answer, when Jared raised his hand. "Hold on a second"

Before he could act, Anthony rushed in, followed by Lizbeth. Seeing Jared, Josephine, and the scene of carnage, Lizbeth felt relieved.

"General Long, why did you stop me?" Jared asked Anthony, confused.

"Jared, if you kill Zachariah, his brother will hunt you. The entire Warriors Alliance will be doomed," Anthony said sternly.

Jared furrowed his brows. "His brother? Who is that?"

Luke gasped, "Isn't Derek dead? How is he alive?"

"Derek is alive. He's Jadeborough's instructor, and powerful!" Anthony shook his head.

Everyone except Jared and his subordinates seemed to know who Derek was. They froze.

Zachariah, leaping to his feet, laughed boisterously. "Hahaha. You can't kill me! My brother will kill your families!"

Luke snorted. "Zachariah, don't flatter yourself. You exiled your brother to become head of the Jantz family, even sent men to kill him. Even if he's alive, he won't avenge you; I bet he wants you dead!"
