Chapter 1001 Watch Your Words
Noticing the gaze in his eyes, Jared suddenly realized what he was referring to. Immediately, he looked at Josephine and Lizbeth, who still had smiles of satisfaction on their faces, before shouting at the man anxiously, “Hey! It’s not what you think! You’ve misunderstood!”
However, that man had already disappeared into the distance.
“Can the two of you please watch your words?”
Jared could feel his head throbbing. He had only just realized that what Josephine and Lizbeth said earlier on could be easily misinterpreted by others. No wonder he said that just now!
“Did we say anything wrong?”
The two women looked at Jared with confused expressions.
“Whatever. Let’s not talk about it anymore. General Jackson is looking for me. I’m heading over now.”
Jared sighed helplessly before he turned around and left.
He knew for sure that the man from the Department of Justice would be gossiping about him behind his back.
“Lizbeth, what did we say just now?”
Josephine asked after Jared was gone as she was still unable to figure out what was going on.
“Hmm, we didn’t really say anything. We just said last night was amazing and that we haven’t felt so good in such a long time!”
Lizbeth was rather perplexed as well.
However, one second later, the realization hit the two of them simultaneously, and their faces instantly reddened.
They had shared a room with Jared the previous night. It was no wonder that they would misunderstand. After all, what could a man and two women possibly do being alone in the same room?
Besides, both of us had even expressed our satisfaction at how wonderful it felt the previous night… Anyone who heard that would assume that they had some bedroom fun, and no one would think that they were actually cultivating instead.
Feeling utterly embarrassed, Josephine and Lizbeth ran back to their room at once.
When Jared arrived at the hall of the Department of Justice, he saw that Theodore was already there waiting for him. There was another person next to the man, and he was none other than Zion, the president of the Warriors Alliance in Jadeborough.
Jared knew at once that Zion was there because of the Trial. After all, the event was organized by the Warriors Alliance. During the event, Jared had beaten Warren to a pulp and almost disfigured Edgar. As such, he had expected Zion to approach him sooner or later.
“Mr. Chance, President Zeigler has something to discuss with you.”
Theodore stood up immediately when he saw Jared.
“President Zeigler,” Jared greeted Zion with a nod.
Zion, who remained seated on the chair, merely nodded slightly as an acknowledgment.
Feeling a flicker of irritation at Zion’s arrogant attitude, Jared grabbed a chair and sat down at once.
He was already extremely disgusted with everything done by the Warriors Alliance in Jadeborough.
“Jared, as an instructor at the Department of Justice, you should be honored to have an opportunity to attend the Trial. However, instead of cherishing it, you broke the rules instead. Not only did you kill members of the Shalvis family and Thunderstorm Sect, but you had also beaten Edgar and Warren up. You seem to have no respect for the Warriors Alliance at all,” Zion said, fixing his cold and intense gaze on Jared while exuding an air of dominance.
However, Jared seemed unfazed and replied with a smile, “Well, the Warriors Alliance really shouldn’t be talking about rules. It was obvious that the alliance was biased toward the Deragons during the Trial. You also allowed the other Sects to make things difficult for me. It’s only right that I teach them a lesson!”
“Hah! What an arrogant brat!”
Zion sneered before slamming his fist on the table. The next moment, he sent a blast of icy cold aura toward Jared.
Whoosh!
Instantly, Jared felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and the chair that he was sitting on splintered beneath him.
Gritting his teeth, he tried to resist Zion’s aura as beads of cold sweat started forming on his forehead.
As Zion was more powerful than Warren, Jared’s current strength was not enough to defend against the man.
“President Zeigler, let’s all calm down and have a civil talk. It wouldn’t be in your favor if Mr. Sanders knows that you have attacked Mr. Chance publicly at the Department of Justice, right?” Theodore threatened Zion, sensing that Jared was barely holding it up.
