Chapter 1020 Bring Her To Me
Warren’s wounds had mostly healed up after spending an entire day recovering, but the look on his face was still twisted with rage.
Ryker, too, had a gloomy expression as he sat down nearby. Not only did Jared have Shadow Estate acquire Thunderstorm Sect and the Shalvis family, but the Bailey family had also acquired the Cooper family on the very same day.
With both Shadow Estate and the Baileys on his side, Jared’s influence in Jadeborough had increased tremendously.
While Warren and Ryker were sulking in frustration, Zion came into the lobby all of a sudden.
“President Zeigler!” Warren leaped to his feet upon seeing him.
He was about to say something, but Zion cut him off with a wave of his hand.
“I know what happened. Jared can have those little sects if he likes them so much. If he thinks that’s all it takes for him to gain a foothold in Jadeborough, then he is gravely mistaken!” Zion let out a disdainful chuckle as he continued, “Warren, do you remember the woman you told me about?”
Warren nodded. “Yes, I do.”
“Gather your men and bring her to me. However, you are not to hurt her even in the slightest, let alone kill her. Otherwise, none of you will live to see the next day!” Zion ordered sternly.
Judging by how serious Zion was, Warren could tell that Josephine must’ve been very important to the Warriors Alliance.
“Understood!”
Warren then picked out a few Eighth Level Martial Arts Grandmasters and headed off to capture Josephine.
Zion waited till he was gone before turning toward Ryker. “Is there something I can help you with, Mr. Deragon?”
“President Zeigler, we can’t just sit by and do nothing after Jared beat my son up like that! Would you please allow us to punish him for what he has done?” Ryker explained.
Of course, Ryker wasn’t actually doing this for the sake of revenge. He was just afraid that the Warriors Alliance would torture Jared to death if they caught him. Ryker needed Jared alive so that he could threaten Beatrice into telling him the secrets he wanted.
That was why he wished to get his hands on Jared before anyone else.
“Since you’ve mentioned it, I suppose I’ll have to grant you the honor of teaching Jared a lesson. However, Mr. Sanders has specifically instructed us to leave Jared be for the time being. Rest assured that his time will come soon enough, though,” Zion replied with an awkward look on his face.
Ryker frowned when he heard Zion mention Mr. Sanders, but he could only nod helplessly as he said, “Looks like we’ll just have to let Jared enjoy a few more days of freedom, then… I still can’t accept what he has done to my son, though!”
“Mr. Deragon, there is actually something you can do about that…”
Ryker’s eyes lit up as Zion leaned in and whispered into his ear.
“W-What if Edgar is no match for Jared? I’d just be embarrassing myself, then!”
“Don’t worry. Jared may be quite talented, but his capabilities do not surpass that of Edgar’s. Besides, I know you Deragons have secret weapons up your sleeves. In the worst-case scenario, you can just have Edgar offer up the secret weapon! I’m sure Jared wouldn’t kill him,” Zion replied with a smile.
Ryker nodded. “I guess you’re right! In that case, I’ll go prepare the challenge invitation on the forum!”
Zion gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. I’ll be sure to prepare a huge gift for Edgar on the day of the fight.”
“Thank you very much, President Zeigler!” Ryker said happily before leaving.
Zion then slowly made his way to the top floor of the Warriors Alliance headquarters where he could see all of Jadeborough from.
“If that woman really has a fiery constituent, then I would surely be able to boost my powers greatly…” he mumbled under his breath.
