Chapter 771

Chapter 771:

But Red Jack’s counterattack wasn’t over yet. Taking advantage of Ashton’s defensive posture, he threw every hidden weapon he could use against Ashton.

His movements grew increasingly frantic as he unleashed every weapon. But unfortunately, his attacks were nothing more than child’s tricks to Ashton, who effortlessly deflected them.

After their first encounter, Red Jack had already realized Ashton’s strength and power exceeded his own by a wide margin. But arrogance had clouded his judgment. He had thought he had the opportunity to kill Ashton if he could catch him off guard.

But now, Red Jack finally understood that Ashton’s power exceeded his expectations. Even the Night Palace’s leader might be unable to deal with Ashton.

What was more, he had already suffered Ashton’s assault and lost almost all his strength. There was no way he could defeat Ashton now.

For the first time in his life, Red Jack felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness and fear. Even when he faced the leader of the Night Palace or the head of the Dark Night Organization, he had never been this powerless, even though he had no chance of winning.

But now, terror gripped Red Jack in a way he had never experienced before. It seeped into his bones, extinguishing any remaining resolve to resist. He was reduced to a man driven solely by the primal instinct to survive.

The only thing he had in mind now was to survive. He didn’t want to die, so he had to find a way to escape from Ashton.

So, after using his last set of deadly cards, Red Jack turned around and desperately scrambled to flee.

But unfortunately, Ashton was determined to kill him. So, as soon as he turned around, Ashton grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back.

“Since you once did me a great favor, I wish I could spare you. But for someone like you who does not take others’ lives seriously, killing you is the best option,” Ashton said with a hint of regret.

As he spoke, his hand had already grabbed Red Jack’s neck.

Red Jack could feel the strength in Ashton’s grip. He knew that if he hesitated for even a second, Ashton would break his neck without a second thought.

At that moment, he saw Ashton as a devil from hell.

Red Jack realized he could no longer keep his trump card. Survival was all that mattered now.

So, when Ashton was about to break his neck, he dropped the secret treasures he had clutched moments ago, took out a peculiar pendant-like object from his pocket, and stabbed himself.

Ashton was surprised when he suddenly realized his hand was gripping nothing but air. Red Jack had completely vanished.

Until now, Ashton had often pondered the mystery of Red Jack’s sudden vanishing acts, wondering how he could disappear into thin air under his ever-watchful eye. Now, the veil of uncertainty had lifted. Red Jack wielded a Glorious Heritage item with a unique ability that allowed him to teleport in the blink of an eye—a gift as elusive as smoke on the wind.
