The King Of Warriors (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4961

Chapter 4961 Head Back
“Dad,” Rainah pleaded, “Bastian's been taken. We have to find a way to save him. If all else fails, we should storm Winged Tiger City, even if we have to risk everything.”

“Don't panic,” Maceo replied calmly. “Even though they've taken Bastian, it's nothing more than leverage. They're trying to force my hand to trade him for Treasure Land and squeeze out some resources. That's all. They won't harm your brother. Killing him wouldn't get them anything.”

Maceo wasn't worried. He knew Winged Tiger City was using Bastian as a bargaining chip, not planning to kill him.

“But we can't just leave him there!” Rainah cried.

“Who said we're leaving him?” Maceo shot back. “We just have to wait. Winged Tiger City will contact us soon enough.”

He glanced at Rainah and added, “Go back and get some rest. You don't need to be involved in this part.”

Though reluctant, Rainah turned and left.

“Hey Maceo, where exactly is the Treasure Land? Can you show me?” Jared asked, clearly curious.

“That place only opens once every thousand years. It's not time yet. If we force our way in, the Heavenly Law will suppress us, and it could seriously deplete our life force.”

“Deplete our life force?” Jared was startled. “How could there be a Heavenly Law suppression like that?”

“Just take me to the place. We won't go in,” Jared insisted.

Seeing Jared so set on it, Maceo nodded. “All right, I'll take you for a look. But don't do anything reckless. If you go in and don't make it out, that'll be a huge problem.”

The two landed. Jared spotted a clear imprint in the earth nearby—a line separating two different soil colors. Inside the Treasure Land's zone, the ground had a muted red shade, like blood had soaked in over time, staining it permanently.

Jared stepped toward it. Maceo tried to stop him, but Jared had already crossed the line. The moment he did, his brows knit tightly. He could feel his strength draining away, along with his life force.

Jared quickly stepped back, and the sensation vanished. “Just like I thought...” he muttered, eyes narrowing.

“Jared, I wouldn't lie to you. No one dares step into that place,” Maceo said. “Let's head back. It's a waste of strength and life force to stand here. It's not worth it.”

But Jared stood still, staring at the Treasure Land. “You said this place is suppressed by the Heavenly Law. If someone could break that suppression... then it'd be fine, right?”
