Jared knew the responsibility on his shoulders was growing larger and larger..
He had no choice but to strive with all his might.
“Jared, don’t take my master’s words seriously from earlier. Just consider it a joke,” Catalina said to Jared.
“Ms. Lantz, when I give my word, it carries weight. What I promise, I must deliver. I’m your man now, and I’m always available whenever you need me. Rest assured, I’ll make sure to meet your needs,” Jared said with a serious expression.
On the side, Cloud and Judith looked at Jared, who was full of awe-inspiring righteousness. They couldn’t help but find it extremely amusing. Jared’s audacity to speak so righteously about such matters shows how shameless he truly is! Is he really expecting the girl to take the initiative and approach him?
Catalina was also amused by Jared’s antics. After giving him a playful glare, she turned around and walked away.
However, during the time they spent together, Catalina had indeed developed quite a fondness for Jared.
Otherwise, based on Jared’s statement of satisfying her, Catalina would have already
showered him with a barrage of insults.
If a man she didn’t fancy spoke to her in such a manner, it would feel like harassment.
If a man she liked spoke in such a way, it would feel like he was flirting.
Jared, at this moment, belonged to the latter category.
In other words, Catalina was starting to develop feelings for Jared.
Outside the Celestial Battlefield, Leftblind and Rightblind were still locked in fierce combat with Ruth and Seth.
Ruth and Seth were locked in a fierce battle while simultaneously trying to escape. Meanwhile, Leftblind was desperately chasing after them. He needed to vent his pent-up rage.
Despite Rightblind’s strenuous efforts to prevent it, it was all in vain.
Unbeknownst to them, they had already ventured far from Mount Gonagles.
After Catalina and her companions emerged from the Celestial Battlefield, they found no trace of Leftblind and Rightblind.
Only the bodies of those guards, armed with blades, lay chillingly scattered around.
The color drained from Catalina’s face, leaving her looking extremely distressed.
She was well aware of the capabilities of Leftblind and Rightblind.
Although those sword-bearing guards only possessed the strength equivalent to a Tribulator, their loyalty was unmatched. The combined force of these guards was not to be underestimated.
“Who on earth dares to make a move against my people?”
The color had drained from Catalina’s face to an alarming degree.
“Let’s go and find your people. Your subordinates have quite the temper, so there’s a chance they might end up in trouble,” Jared said to Catalina.
In an instant, Catalina’s silhouette leaped up, heading toward Leftblind and Rightblind.
Jared and the others were closely following behind.
Catalina quickly caught up with Leftblind and Rightblind, who were both embroiled in a heated battle. Seeing this, she shouted out loud, “Stop!”
Seeing Catalina emerge, both of them
immediately stopped what they were doing.
Ruth and Seth were drenched in sweat, seizing the opportunity to catch their breaths.
They had already sent out a distress signal.
They believed it wouldn’t be long before Gatlin would arrive with reinforcements.
All that was needed then was to stall for a bit of time.
“What’s going on?” Catalina asked, turning to Leftblind.
After all, Leftblind had been keeping watch outside from the very beginning, so he would undoubtedly know the cause of the incident.
“Ms. Lantz, these two guys wanted to get in without giving the spiritual stones. I didn’t allow it, and that’s when the fight broke out,” Leftblind said.
Catalina knew Leftblind’s temper probably got him into trouble again because of his loose tongue.
“Why did you two fellow cultivators have a conflict with my people, and even go as far as killing my guards?” Catalina questioned Ruth and Seth.
“Demon Seal Alliance never needed a reason to kill. Let me tell you something. Our leader will
be here any moment now. Kneel down and apologize now, and I might just let you scurry off. Otherwise, you’re in for an ugly end!” Ruth said to Catalina.
Catalina’s expression turned icy. “Are you guys from Demon Seal Alliance?”
“Indeed, we are from Demon Seal Alliance. Since you’re aware of Demon Seal Alliance, you must also understand the extent of our influence.”
Ruth spoke with an air of arrogance.
“Kill them. I can’t stand people from Demon Seal Alliance!” There was a fleeting murderous glint in Catalina’s eyes.
