“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!”
