The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance)
Chapter 216

"You're fine, Jared? You're alive!"

Josephine sprinted over emotionally and hugged Jared tightly.

By then, she no longer bothered about other people's presence. She clasped the man tightly to her, her grip unrelenting.

His body was still chilly to the touch, but even so, she clutched him tightly.

"Let go! If you don't loosen your grip, I'm really going to suffocate!" Jared urged, coughing.

Hearing that, Josephine was so stricken that she hurriedly dropped her hands from around him. However, Jared was just fine. In fact, he was even looking at her with a smirk on his face. At that, Josephine threw him a glare and kicked him hard.

Meanwhile, everyone was thrilled that Jared was alive since it meant that Falcon couldn't have his way anymore.

"Kid, who exactly are you that you're still alive even after absorbing frosty energy?" Falcon asked with mystification etched on his face.

"I'm your master!" Jared's face contorted into a mask of fury. When I was cultivating the frosty energy earlier, he seized the opportunity to injure Tommy and even insult Josephine! In truth, he heard all that, but he couldn't move.

"You must have a death wish!" Falcon's expression instantly darkened at that jibe.

"If you give me the Starry Compass now, I might grant you a less painful death!"

Jared beckoned at the man, not in the mood to bandy words with him.

"Ah, so you want my Starry Compass?"

Falcon's expression changed, darkening frightfully. He clutched the Starry Compass tightly, seemingly disinclined to give it to the man.

"I gave you an opportunity, but you didn't appreciate it!"

Jared stared at the man indifferently, his eyes teeming with murder.

"Even if you didn't die from absorbing the frosty energy, kid, you're no match for this Starry Compass of mine! Hence, stop bragging here! Let's have it!"

A searing murderous intent radiated off Falcon.

He didn't dare underestimate the man, for someone who could remain alive after absorbing frosty energy was definitely no ordinary person.

"Thank you for saving my daughter's life, Mr. Chance! I have no way of repaying you, so I can only do so with my life today. I'll hold him off. In the meantime, you all make a run for it!" Erasmus was already heavily injured, yet he struggled to his feet once more, planning to hold Falcon back at the price of his life for Jared and the others to make good their escape. Unexpectedly, Jared stretched out a hand and stopped Erasmus. His lips curving into a faint smile, he remarked, "There's no need to forfeit your life to deal with a

useless piece of trash that only depends on a magical item!"

After saying that, he disdainfully flashed Falcon a thumbs-down.

"I'm going to kill you, kid!"

Falcon went into a towering rage, upon which the murderous intent emanating from him intensified. At the same time, the Starry Compass in his hand also emitted a faint light.

Noticing the perpetual glow of the Starry Compass in his hand, Erasmus, Walter, and the others were all shaken.

Conversely, Jared merely gave a bark of contemptuous laughter and snagged a chair before plopping right down.

"Do you have any other skills besides using your magical item?" Jared inquired impassively.

"There's no use provoking me, kid! I'm not going to fall for it! You didn't perish even after absorbing frosty energy into your body, yes? In that case, I'll let you absorb more frosty energy. We'll see how much longer your body can withstand it!"

When Falcon finished saying that, he held the Starry Compass out. At once, a burst of frosty energy blasted out from its center.

The temperature in the room promptly plummeted to freezing point, and everyone hugged themselves, so cold that they shivered violently.

Contrarily, Jared remained sitting on the chair without twitching a single muscle. He did not feel the slightest bit cold.

Frosty energy enveloped him and seeped into his body through his orifices. Slowly, frost again started forming on his hair.

"Haha... This time, I'll freeze you and smash you into pieces. We'll see how you're going to remain alive!"

At the sight of the frost manifesting on his hair once again, Falcon guffawed triumphantly.

Alas, the frost on Jared's head disappeared quickly at a rate visible to the naked eye. No matter how much frosty energy penetrated his body, it couldn't cause any more change in him. "How is this possible?"

Utterly shocked, Falcon immediately released all the frosty energy in the Starry Compass.
