Chapter 654

Jared was startled and immediately pulled his foot back. Cold sweat dripped from his face. "I… I didn't mean to…" His voice trembled as he looked at Scarlett. His eyes were filled with fear and dread. Gone was the arrogance he had shown earlier—he knew now that this woman was far beyond someone he could afford to provoke. He suddenly remembered the rule Scarlett had set. "Anyone who steps into Levix City dies." A chill ran down his spine as he realized the severity of the situation. Those words, which he had once dismissed, now felt like a death sentence hanging over him. Scarlett had the strength to reinforce that rule without hesitation. "Don't worry, I'm fair," Scarlett said casually. "After all, you didn't completely step into Levix City." Jared's relief was immediate. "Thank you, Ms. Fischer! It was all just a misunderstanding today. "I swear I'll never step foot into Levix City again!" he vowed hastily. He believed that backing down in front of a Vajra was no disgrace.
