Upon hearing the shout, Jared and the others rushed out of the building.
When they emerged, they found Beau standing there, visibly shocked. Before him stood an elderly man, identical to the previous old villain they had encountered, gazing at him.
Beau shouted because he had mistaken this elderly man for the old villain, believing that he had caught up to them.
However, the aura of this elderly man was distinct from the other one. He didn't exude an intimidating or overpowering presence.
That was why Beau swiftly calmed back down.
When the others spotted the elderly man, they were similarly taken aback.
Jared was the only one who became excited when he spotted the elderly man and rushed over to the latter.
“I'm thrilled to see you, sir!” Jared's eyes filled with joy as he approached the old man.
The elderly man glared at Jared with a stern expression and asked, “Didn't I advise you not to proceed and be greedy?”
“I...” Ashamed, Jared told him the truth. “I needed the Ice Soul Pill to save someone's life. That's why I had no other option.”
