What’s going on? Ruth and Seth were utterly bewildered. They couldn’t comprehend who these people were and why they showed no fear toward Demon Seal Alliance.
Furthermore, whenever Demon Seal Alliance was mentioned, these people would become instantly agitated.
At that moment, the two individuals noticed Jared and his companions trailing behind Catalina. Instantly, they understood the reason these people acted that way. These people are indeed with Jared!
It was no wonder the mere mention of Demon Seal Alliance made them anxious. After all, Demon Seal Alliance had issued a hundred-year offering to hunt Jared down.
The people who were with Jared, naturally, despised Demon Seal Alliance.
Realizing what was going on, Ruth and Seth prepared themselves for battle. They were not far from Quinlan Town then, so they thought Gatlin would be arriving with reinforcements any moment.
Upon hearing Catalina’s command, Leftblind immediately sprang into action. He pointed at Ruth and exclaimed, “F*ck! Today, I’m going to end your pathetic little life…”
Leftblind roared in fury as he charged toward Ruth.
Ruth, too, was scolded until his face contorted with anger. He also threw a punch toward Leftblind.
Rightblind and Seth had simultaneously sprung into action, plunging the group once again into a chaotic melee.
Catalina simply watched in silence, seemingly having no intention of intervening.
“Ms. Lantz, it seems like these Demon Seal Alliance folks might have reinforcements. Should we lend a hand to wrap things up quickly?” Jared asked Catalina.
With a frosty gaze, Catalina replied, “Having help is great. It’s just perfect to catch them all in one swoop. These guys from Demon Seal Alliance all deserve to die!”
Upon observing the situation, Jared chose to remain silent. He couldn’t comprehend why Catalina harbored such intense hatred toward Demon Seal Alliance.
While the group was deeply engrossed in battle, a sudden wave of terrifying aura swept over them from afar.
Both Jared and Catalina’s expressions subtly shifted when they felt the aura.
At the same moment, both Leftblind and Rightblind were retreating in unison. They didn’t stop until they had backed up by several hundred meters.
Upon seeing the situation, Ruth and Seth hurriedly shouted out, “Mr. Gatlin!”
Catalina and Jared turned toward the ominous aura, only to see an old man with a hunched back slowly emerging.
Jared and Catalina’s expressions turned incredibly grave when they saw the sudden appearance of the hunched old man.
Catalina was in disbelief. “A Fourth Level in Ultimate Realm? Are there really people of such high strength in the eastern region?”
Jared also wore a somber expression. He hadn’t expected Demon Seal Alliance to actually send out such an expert.
An expert of the Fourth Level in Ultimate Realm was certainly determined to drive Jared to the brink of destruction.
A chill ran through both Leftblind and Rightblind when they saw the hunchbacked old man before them.
The hunchbacked old man, Gatlin, didn’t even glance at anyone else. Instead, he walked up to Jared and asked, “Are you Jared?”
“Yes!” Jared fearlessly nodded.
“You’ve got some nerve, admitting who you really are. So, did you know I was coming for you?”
Gatlin squinted his eyes slightly, offering a faint smile as he spoke.
“Yes!” Jared still nodded.
“If you knew, then why didn’t you run or hide your identity?” Gatlin asked with a hint of confusion.
Even though Jared knew that he was from Demon Seal Alliance and was there to capture him, he surprisingly showed no fear and didn’t even attempt to flee.
“That’s because I don’t take you seriously!” Jared uttered with a look of disdain on his face.
“How audacious…”
Gatlin was infuriated. With a subtle stomp of his foot, instantly, a terrifying aura radiated from beneath him.
Jared’s eyes narrowed, as all kinds of power within him erupted instantly. His Golem Body was activated in no time, covering his entire body in golden scales.
Upon seeing the situation, Catalina also pushed
out her palm. Golden runes materialized, one after another. Soon after, a golden shield emerged, safeguarding everyone within its confines.
Boom!
The force struck against the golden shield, instantly shattering it into pieces.
Gatlin turned to Catalina. “What’s your relationship with Abbot Infinides?”
