Chapter 1144 Leave

At that moment, a few people were quickly approaching the deserted and flattened Gardner Manor.

They were none other than Jericho from the Rowling family and his men as they were on their way to

check out the situation.

Jericho thought he had gone to the wrong place when he saw the Gardner manor, which was now

completely empty.

If it weren’t for the looming Pentacarna Tower at a distance, Jericho would not have recognized that

place.

Everything was still fine the day before as a lively construction process took place.

That day, nothing was left in that area, not even a piece of debris. There was only a layer of powdery

dust on the floor.

Jericho led his men into the Gardner Manor’s vicinity. The moment they stepped foot into the perimeter,

Jared, who was cultivating inside Pentacarna Tower, opened his eyes instantaneously.

Jared had set up an arcane array around the surroundings of the Gardner Manor when he began

cultivating, so he could sense any intruder’s presence in a split second.

Otherwise, it would be very dangerous if someone attempted to launch a sneak attack on him amidst his

cultivation.

Jared released his spiritual sense and detected Jericho and the others, who were drawing closer to

Pentacarna Tower.

The party consisted of five people, all of whom were Martial Arts Grandmasters.

Among them, Jericho was even close to becoming a Top Level Martial Arts Grandmaster.

“Who are these people?” Jared frowned slightly as he was puzzled by the sudden intrusion of those

strangers.

He could sense that Jericho and the others were not members of the Norton family. Moreover, Skylar

could not have possibly gathered his subordinates so quickly from Jadeborough.

Not to mention, even a Top Level Martial Arts Grandmaster like Skylar was not Jared’s opponent, so why

would he assign this party of weaker men over to suffer inevitable deaths?

Jared slowly got up and walked out of the tower.

Meanwhile, Jericho and his men were also moving closer to Pentacarna Tower.

“Mr. Jericho, why did the Gardner Manor suddenly turn into this state? I realized that this powder on the

floor is probably the product of the buildings that used to stand here after the structures were

disintegrated by martial energy.”

“How insanely strong is that person to be capable of demolishing this vast manor to such a condition?”

“Look at that tower, guys. That tower is still in perfect condition. I reckon something must be wrong with

that tower.”

The Rowling family’s henchmen spoke in bewilderment.

Jericho glanced at them. “Shut up if you all do not want to die…”

His words successfully rendered the others silent.

Soon, Jericho and his party arrived at the foot of Pentacarna Tower. Jericho noticed the silhouette of a

man standing underneath the tower from afar.

Jared had also noticed them. He fixated his gaze on Jericho.

Jericho stepped closer and was a little stunned to discover that person standing below the tower was

Jared. However, he pretended not to recognize Jared and asked, “Who are you?”

Jared replied casually, “I’m the owner of this manor. Why are you all trespassing my property?”

Jericho suddenly sneered. “You are the owner of this manor? This place belonged to the Gardner family.

Now that Karl is dead, we are here to take over his properties because he owed us, the Rowling family,

money. Don’t tell me you’re a member of the Gardner family?”

Jared shook his head. “I’m not a member of the Gardner family. Nonetheless, this manor no longer

belongs to them. You all should hurry up and leave…”

“You’re too arrogant, brat. No one has dared to deny the things we want thus far!” one of the Rowling

family’s henchmen bellowed at Jared angrily.

Jared merely glanced coldly at the person who piped up. “I’ve said this. This place is now my territory, so

I don’t care if you’re from the Rowling family or not. Just get lost if you do not want to die…”

“You…”

The few Rowling family subordinates were infuriated and wanted to make a move on Jared but were

stopped by Jericho.

The others might not be aware, but Jericho knew if they clashed with Jared now, they would most likely

be defeated.

“We are members of the Rowling family from Marsingfill. Our master, Mr. Coby, is ranked fifth on the

Sage Leaderboard. I hope you—”

Jericho wanted to threaten Jared with Coby’s reputation. However, before he could finish his sentence,

Jared interjected, “I’ve told you. I don’t care about the Rowling family or any other family for that matter.

Get lost if you do not wish to die…”
