Chapter 1012 Compromise
As Warren looked at Theodore and his companions, he curled his lips. “Who said I did anything to Jared?”
“We saw it. Just now, if we had not arrived on time, you would have killed Mr. Chance,” Theodore yelled.
“Well, you didn’t see anything. After all, I doubt dead people can see anything, am I right?”
After Warren finished speaking, a terrifying aura enveloped Theodore and the others.
He was going to silence these witnesses. Only with these people dead would his secrets be kept.
Seeing Warren’s intention to kill, Theodore was stunned. “Mr. Gordon, you… What are you trying to do? I’m a member of the Department of Justice! If you kill me, you’ll be going against the authorities!”
Reminding Warren of the authorities was obviously not going to stop him because he was already determined to kill.
Giving a cold chuckle, Warren said, “Theodore, after I kill you, no one can prove that I am the killer. Without any witnesses, there is nothing the authorities can do to me even if you are a part of them.”
At this point, Theodore was really terrified. He was well aware that in a fight against a Top Level Martial Arts Grandmaster, he and the others would have no chance of coming out as winners.
In fact, Theodore reckoned that Warren could probably kill him without even lifting a finger by just increasing his aura.
As for Josephine and Lizbeth, who were considerably skillful, it was still impossible for them to battle a Top Level Martial Arts Grandmaster.
At the moment, Josephine and Lizbeth had already helped Jared to his feet. Seeing Warren’s determination to kill them all, his expression turned grim.
“Warren, if you stop now, I will pretend that I didn’t see or hear anything today.”
Jared was ready to compromise.
If Jared had been alone, he reckoned there was still a slim chance of him escaping. However, with Josephine, Lizbeth, and Theodore in tow, there was simply no way for them to escape, especially due to the level of Theodore’s fighting skills.
Jared had no choice but to make a compromise for the safety of those with him.
“Hahaha, Jared, I can’t believe you’re actually a coward! But it’s too late. You know too much, so you must die.”
With that, Warren thrust his fist out. A wave of darkness burst out from him before turning into a beast and going straight for Jared and the others.
Seeing this, Jared gritted their teeth and gathered the golden light on his body. Then, he leaped up to take Warren’s punch.
Boom!
There was a huge clash and Jared crashed heavily onto the ground.
Jared spewed out a mouthful of blood and cracks appeared on his body as the golden light began to fade.
He had risked his own life as he shielded the others with his body.
“Jared!”
Josephine and Lizbeth’s expressions were pained as they continued to help Jared stand on his feet.
“Not bad, you actually survived my blow, but I wonder if you can survive the next one.”
The darkness gathered on Warren’s body as he no longer cared to conceal it.
Watching the dark shadow pulsing on Warren’s body, Theodore could not help but gape at the man in shock and horror.
“I’ll block him. You guys take the opportunity to escape.”
Jared narrowed his eyes. He knew that his life was in peril but that was the only way to give Josephine and Lizbeth a chance to flee for their lives.
“Jared, we’re not leaving. If we die, we die together.”
Lizbeth shook her head as tears ran down her cheeks.
“Who knows? We may yet survive.”
Josephine’s gaze suddenly turned icy with determination. Then, she pulled out a dagger and slashed her arm.
A gash appeared and bright red blood flowed out.
“Jared, drink it.”
Josephine presented her injured arm to Jared.
Jared could not bear seeing the deep red cut on her fair arm.
“Jared, you have to drink it, or else we will all die here,” Josephine urged him.
Jared gritted his teeth and clamped his mouth over her wound before he began swallowing her blood.
