The King Of Warriors (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4273

Wusteria was the largest city Jared had ever seen.

“Mr. Yorba,” Jared asked, still taking in the sight of the people frozen on both sides of the street, “why did everyone stop moving when we entered?”

Ezequiel smiled. “It's a rule in Allardland, designed to prevent assassination attempts. In such a vast empire, there's always the risk of ill-intentioned individuals. This way, no one is allowed to make a move while we pass through, and any sudden movement would be considered an attack.”

Jared was left speechless. While the method seemed harsh, it was undeniably effective. In the mortal world, similar precautions were taken when important figures were on the move, with roads cleared and access restricted. It seemed the Ethereal realm and the mundane world weren't so different after all.

It was just that everyone in the Ethereal Realm was a spiritual energy cultivator. With so many of them available, the rarity and demand was significantly diminished.

Soon, they reached the imperial city at the heart of Wusteria. Upon arrival, they had to leave the carriage and continue on foot.

Waiting at the entrance were none other than King Bernard and his son, Cedric. The fact that they were waiting personally spoke volumes about how much they valued Jared.

“Mr. Chance, you must be tired from your long journey,” Bernard greeted Jared with great politeness, showing no trace of the pride typically associated with royalty.

Cedric stepped forward, bowing deeply. “Mr. Chance, I will never forget the life-saving grace you bestowed upon me.”

“Your Majesty, Your Highness, you're too kind,” Jared replied humbly. “I simply did what I could. You've already repaid me—it was a transaction, not a favor.”

Jared was surprised by the respect and humility shown by Bernard and his son, especially given their status.
