Chapter 4656 The Entire Army Strikes
"Mr. Chance, they are..."
Claude looked puzzled as Jared returned with three people.
"These are my friends. They'll stay here for now. Is General Jaime around?" Jared asked.
"Yes, he was just looking for you earlier. It seems there might be an issue with the Buckley family," Claude replied.
Jared immediately guessed that it must have been related to him killing Teegan, which likely caused some unrest in the Buckley family.
"I'll leave them to you. Make sure they get some rest. I'll go find General Jaime."
After instructing Claude to escort Gordon and the others to their rooms, Jared went straight to Jaime's council meeting room.
When Jared pushed open the door and entered, several commanders were already seated inside.
As soon as the commanders saw Jared enter, they all stood up. This change in attitude clearly reflected Jared's newfound status after breaking through to the Ultimate Realm.
After all, anyone capable of making the Ultimate Realm lightning tribulation resemble an Immortal Realm tribulation demanded respect.
"Jared, I was just looking for you! Come, sit here," Jaime said as he stood up.
He invited Jared to sit beside him.
Jaime's gesture spoke volumes about the importance he placed on Jared and the status Jared now held in Giles Manor.
In Ethereal Realm, strength ruled-not just in words, but in actions.
"General Jaime, what do you need from me?" Jared asked.
"A scout reported that the Buckley family is holding a funeral. Both of Rex's sons are dead. Teegan was just killed outside Beast City, so Rex is on the verge of losing his mind. Do you know about this?" Jaime asked.
Jared nodded and replied, "I do. I killed both Niel and Teegan. I just killed Teegan before rushing back here."
"So it really was you," Jaime said, frowning slightly, though he seemed to have already suspected as much.
"Why did you kill Teegan?" he continued to ask.
Seeing Jaime's reaction, Jared decided to explain the truth.
He intended to mine the celestial crystal vein mine with Jaime. Jared no longer trusted anyone else. Since he intended to mine the vein of celestial crystals with Jaime, there could be no secrets between them.
When Jared revealed the details, the entire council meeting room erupted.
"What? Is it still possible to find a celestial crystal vein mine?"
"This is unbelievable! We thought all those celestial crystal vein mines were long depleted."
"Good thing the Buckley family didn't get to mine it. If they had those celestial crystals, they'd definitely have made a move against us already."
The commanders began to discuss spiritedly.
Jaime's face reflected both shock and excitement. He hadn't expected that Jared would kill Teegan over a celestial crystal vein mine.
Now that Jared had shared this with him, it meant Jared intended to have Giles Manor involved in the mining.
"You did the right thing. That
celestial crystal vein mine doesn't belong to the Buckley family. Teegan conspired with others to claim it, so he deserved to die! If Rex dares to come after you, I won't sit idly by," Jaime declared firmly.
"Thank you, General Jaime!" Jared expressed his gratitude.
"You're a foreign official of Giles Manor, so this is what I should
No need to thank me. However get
about mining the celestial crystals..." Jaime trailed off, hesitant
"General Jaime, I rushed back immediately because I want to mine it together with you, but I'll need you to send more people to help. Since Teegan already brought others to the celestial crystal vein mine, the Buckley family must know its
location. I'm worried Rex might bring his men to seize it," Jared said.
Hearing this, Jaime immediately stood up and nodded repeatedly. "Right, right, we can't let Rex get ahead
of us!"
