Chapter 2224 Surrender"Shut up!”Elgado slammed his palm into Skyler's back, and she immediately spewed a mouthful of blood, her
face pale as a sheet.“Stop!”Jared's brow furrowed. His eyes filled with a murderous glare.“Listen to me, young man. You can save the girl's life if you behave; otherwise, she'll die...” Elgado
threatened Jared once again.Emiliano and Avery were also repulsed by the tactics employed by the guardian. However, given the
current situation, there seemed to be no other viable option to rein in Jared.“All right, I will surrender, but you need to release her!” Jared nodded. The golden dragon beneath
him instantly disappeared, and he landed on the ground.As soon as Jared's feet touched the ground, Emiliano's aura burst out, propelling him forward and
making him vanish from sight. Without giving Jared any time to prepare, Emiliano fiercely struck
him in the back with a powerful palm strike.The strike was extremely powerful, producing a loud bang as it landed on Jared's back.The brutal force caused Jared to fly backward, blood spewing from his mouth as he landed on the
ground.His rage was palpable as he stared daggers at Emiliano. However, the latter was unfazed and
sneered, “Come on, Jared. Get up and fight me again. If you so much as lift a finger, Skyler will die
instantly!”"Shut up!”Elgodo slommed his polm into Skyler's bock, ond she immediotely spewed o mouthful of blood, her

sneered, “Come on, Jored. Get up ond fight me ogoin. If you so much os lift o finger, Skyler will die
instontly!”Jared glared at Emiliano, but he didn't dare move. He knew that if he acted now, the guardian would
surely kill Skyler. So he stayed put, seething with anger but helpless to act.Seeing that Jared was too afraid to move, Emiliano laughed in triumph. He immediately leaped into
the air and delivered a devastating kick to Jared's abdomen, sending him reeling backward.Boom!The impact was devastating. Jared's organs were jolted, and blood continued to pour from his
mouth. He was clearly severely injured.Skyler watched in horror as Jared was brutally beaten, unable to bear the guilt of being the cause of
his suffering. She cried out in despair, “Mr. Chance! Mr. Chance, don't bother about me! Just leave
me..."Even though Skyler begged Jared to fight back, he couldn't ignore her plight. After all, he owed her
for saving his life. He couldn't bear to watch her die!When Emiliano saw that Jared was too afraid to retaliate, he put down his guard and pounded the
latter with punches and kicks.Emiliano continued to vent his anger until he tired himself out, leaving Jared severely injured and
barely able to stand.Elgado tossed Skyler aside and instructed Emiliano, “All right, let's get the Spirit Connecting Fruit
and deal with this guy later.”Since Jared's injuries were so severe that any skilled warrior could easily finish him off, the guardian
was no longer worried about dealing with the man."Okay. We'll finish him off after we split the Spirit Connecting Fruit.” Emiliano nodded in agreement.
Elgado’s true motive for preventing Emiliano from killing Jared was to gain possession of the latter's
body and strength. He knew that by absorbing Jared's power and taking over his body, his own
power would increase significantly.noveldramaHowever, he couldn't reveal his true intentions at the moment, for fear that Emiliano and Avery
would become suspicious of him.“Mr. Chance, Mr. Chance... it's all my fault. If I hadn't been captured, you wouldn't be in this
situation,” Skyler uttered as she approached Jared, gently wiping away his blood.Feeling overwhelmed with grief and self-blame, she hated that her weakness had caused so much
trouble for Jared.“There's no need to blame yourself, Ms. Loulland. I'm fine. I won't die so easily,” Jared reassured her
with a weak smile.“Keep an eye on them and make sure they don't get away!” Emiliano commanded his men to watch
over Jared and Skyler, then trailed after Elgado to the Spirit Connecting Tree, pondering their
strategy to acquire the Spirit Connecting Fruit.
