Chapter 365 Challenged
“How did it go, Leonardo? Did Venicus say when he is going to start working on the longevity pill?”
Zachariah anxiously asked Leonardo.
“Mr. Jantz, Master Venicus said he will work on it once you get the herbs he wanted for Crescent Sect
ready,” Leonardo reported.
“What the f*ck! He is not about to cut us any ck, is he?” Zachariah couldn’t help but swear. “When
would those herbs be ready?” he asked with concern.
“The herbs they asked for are all rare and precious herbs. Not to mention the prices are exorbitant! I
have tried to bargain with Herb Pce on numerous asions but they simply would not budge on the
price. That order is going to cost more than ten million, Mr. Jantz,” Leonardoined in
exasperation.
Zachariah went into deep thought for a moment, then said, “Encash all the liquid assets we have. Also,
sell off all the assets of the Whitaker family. I must get the herbs for Crescent Sect.”
“Yes, Mr. Jantz!” Leonardo nodded.
Zachariah was adamant about getting his hands on the longevity pill. To him, his health was a top
priority. After all, he knew he could always make more money again so long as he had his health.
“Mr. Jantz. We have a problem!” Just then, one of the servants came running in and shouted in
distress.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
“Stop shouting. Don’t you know it’s the middle of the night now? Calm down and tell me what’s going
on,” Leonardo chided the servant.
The servant was shivering in fear and cried out, “Two of our men are dead, Mr. Jantz! They are left at
the entrance! Pleasee and take a look!”
Zachariah was enraged by the news. The Jantz family had established themselves in Summerbank for
decades and never had anyone done such an outrageous thing to them. It was unthinkable that
someone had the guts to kill his men and openly leave their bodies right at his doorstep.
Zachariah, together with Leonardo, rushed to the entrance of the house and found that their guards
were already there, searching and watching out for further dangers.
Zachariah saw two of his men slumped on the ground, their heads smashed beyond recognition. All
their limbs were contorted in a weird manner. It was obvious someone had broken all their hands and
legs too.
Leonardo went forward and inspected the bodies. His face was glum when he reported back to
Zachariah, “Mr. Jantz, these are the two men you sent to get Ms. Grange!”
“What? Who could have done this? Don’t tell me Lizbeth is capable of doing this!” Zachariah was
hopping mad. After all, to kill his men in such a cruel manner and then leave their bodies right at his
doorstep was obviously a tant act of challenge.
“This ce is monitored by our surveince cameras. We can check the footage!”
“Get on to it immediately!” Zachariah ordered.
In the security room, Zachariah watched with fury as his men yed back the footage.
In the footage, they could clearly see a caring to a stop right in front of the main entrance. Soon,
Jared stepped out of the car and sneered as he looked right into the security camera.
He then opened the trunk and brought out the two men. It was obvious their limbs were already broken
at that point in time.
He picked one of the men up, walked toward the security camera, and stared straight into the lens.
Then, he smashed his fist on the man’s head, instantly crushing the skull, and sttering blood all over
the ce.
All those who were watching the footage shuddered involuntarily. It was an extremely horrifying and
cruel scene.
Jared repeated the same with the other man. After he finished them off, he swiped his fingers across
his neck, making the ‘kill’ sign. It was an outright provocative action.
After dumping the two bodies at the Jantz family’s doorstep, he drove off.
“Argh!” Zachariah mmed his fist into the monitor furiously and swore, “I’m going to kill him! I will kill
him!”
It was a deliberate act of provocation from Jared, and the Jantzs had never been challenged so openly
before.
