Chapter 460 Anita and Johnny Dean stared at Jared and laughed, then slowly took out a blue-purple trident from the magic device.
It is not difficult to see from the halo emitted from the trident that this is a fifth-level weapon and is highly poisonous.
"Betray the Canary Chamber of Commerce? I, Dean, wouldn't dare. Those high-ranking officials in the chamber of commerce could crush me to death with one hand."
"I was just following the orders of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters for the sake of profit. It can't be considered as betraying the Chamber of Commerce."
After saying that, Dean's snake body suddenly exerted force and pounced towards Jared like a spring, with the trident in his hand reaching for Jared's throat.
Jared's eyes darkened. He didn't understand what Dean had just said, but seeing Dean rushing towards him, he had to take out a long sword from his magic device to fight.
clang——
The cold and sharp sword collided with the poisonous trident, and a spark burst out.
Dean and Jared are both at the intermediate level of the fifth rank, and their strengths are comparable.
But Jared was distracted by Dean's words about the headquarters' orders, and was a little slow to defend himself, causing Jared to lose the upper hand.
Dean grinned and used the trident in his hand to push Jared away.
Jared used the momentum to leap backward.
Dean raised the trident in his hand and shouted to the other snake people in the tribe.
"Go at it! No matter who's in the team, dead or alive!"
“Oooooh!”
The snake people who received Dean's order also raised their weapons, responded to Dean's call, and charged towards the convoy fearlessly.
The guards guarding the convoy immediately fought with countless snake people.
Jared glanced at the team and cursed inwardly, "Damn it!"
Then he swung the sword towards Dean.
"Dean! Explain yourself! What exactly does the order from headquarters mean?"
Dean blocked Jared's sword and smiled. Before Dean could say anything, a graceful young woman emerged from the stone hall behind him.
The woman had long wavy fiery red hair and wore an elegant dress. Against the backdrop of the purple-black dress, she looked like a thorny rose.
Dangerous and tempting.
Jared was visibly stunned when he saw the woman.
The woman smiled at Jared, and an intelligent voice came out of her mouth.
"Manager Jared, long time no see. I remember the last time I saw you was when we were awarding awards to outstanding branch managers at the Chamber of Commerce headquarters."
Jared's eyes darkened. Seeing that Dean beside him showed no sign of attacking him, Jared turned the sword in his hand and bowed to the woman.
"Lady Joni."
Joni smiled and said, "Jared, put away your sword. I have no conflict with you. The one who has a conflict is Anita in your team."
"Hand Anita over to me, and I can let the rest of the team go. I can even transfer you to headquarters with just a word."
After hearing this, Jared stood there in silence for a long time.
Soon, Jared raised the sword in his hand and spoke with a serious look.
"I'm sorry, Master Joni, I can't do what you wish."
"I, Jared, would love to be transferred back to headquarters, but as a soldier, I will not allow anyone to harm those I serve."
The smile on Joni's face faded, she looked at Jared coldly, and spoke to the team.
"Anita, your mother is here, won't you come out to greet her?"
Joni's words made the fighting snakemen and the convoy's guards stop fighting and turn their eyes to look at the carriages.
At this moment, the door of a carriage slowly opened, and a young girl in a red dress emerged from the carriage.
The girl was followed by a petite maid.
The young girl Anita stood on the carriage, staring straight at Joni at the door of the stone temple.
