"No, don't kill me!" At the feeling of imminent death, Carter started to panic, and he cried out while struggling.
"Seven... Six..." Fade was still counting.
The force from his feet continued to increase as he was counting down, "I told you, hand Mabel over."
Tve already handed Mabel over to my master," Carter confessed.
"Then let Jarred hand him over. Otherwise, you will still have to die," Fade said without mercy.
When Carter heard this, his face fell. He was about to cry out for help.
At that moment, a figure in black appeared, and spoke with a deep voice, "Isn't it a bit too much for you to come and visit me like this?"
Everyone turned to look.
A man clothed in black stepped towards them, with his hands behind his back, and a serious expression on his face.
When Carter saw the man, he immediately called out, "Master, save me! Master!"
Fade also looked at the man. His eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "Are you Jarred Han?" "Yes, I am," The man nodded and continued to approach.
At that moment, Boss Chiao was unnerved as he stared fixedly at Jarred. His lips quivered as he said, "This... How is this possible? How could this be?"
Looking at the abnormal expression on Big Chiao's face, Andy could not help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Brother Chiao said anxiously, "Of course it's not right. It's too strange. Jarred should be well over seventy years old, yet he looks like he had barely turned seventy. When he had come back three years ago, he had been extremely weak, with a head full of white hair. How did he become like this now!"
Andy and Fade suddenly recalled that Boss Chiao had indeed said that Jarred was very old. He had come back to recuperate because he had been heavily injured. Back then, some people had even said that he had less than three years to live.
Looking at the person in front of him, he was completely different from what Boss Chiao had described.
The Jarred in front of them was tall, with a full head of black hair, and he looked like he was only in his forties or fifties. He even looked fit. He looked exactly like a middle-aged man, and did not look like a man in his seventies at all.
"How could a man past his seventies look like this? Furthermore, he had looked so old before!" Even Andy was shocked. "Could it be that he's been able to regain his youth?"
Fade's eyes narrowed as he stared at Jarred. His expression became serious, and faintly, there was a kind of unseen wrath.
It seemed to match the description of some forbidden arts that Fade had heard of before. Ever since ancient times, humans had sought immortality and everlasting youth. They had tried various means as an attempt to extend their lifespan.
Among them, the cruelest and most gruesome method was to extend one's life at the cost of others.
This cruel method had long been banned and listed among the forbidden arts. If there was anyone who attempted it, they would have had to be executed.
With Jarred's rejuvenated youth and the kidnappings of the Skull Mob, Fade could not help but link these things together.
At that moment, Jarred said in a low voice,
"Release my disciple."
