Chapter 1055 Absolute Confidence
Walter was intrigued when he heard the tempting offer. “Jared, why don’t we just let him off the hook? Mr. Wood has already pleaded for forgiveness anyway. What do you think?”
Little did Walter know, he had been on the hit list as well. It was just that the assassins had not gone to his room first.
“All right. Since that’s what you say, I’ll just go easy on him this time.”
Jared did as Walter told not only because it was Walter who had asked but also because he wanted to keep Freddy alive so he could get some useful information from that man in the future.
Given how Freddy would always shore up sunken ships for their treasure, Jared speculated that he might come across some magical items during his quests. This could be helpful to Jared.
“Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Chance!”
Freddy kept bowing to express his heartfelt gratitude. After that, he asked his men to escort Jared and the others off the ship.
After they landed, Jared brought Lizbeth with him to the Medicine God Sect. He had Freddy get them a car to send them over.
As for Walter, William, Tommy, and Phoenix, Freddy knew he was no match for them either. Besides, Freddy could not afford to offend Walter anymore.
When Jared and Lizbeth reached the Medicine God Sect, five days had already elapsed. Jared only had two days until his fight with Edgar.
“What’s wrong with Lizbeth?”
Rayleigh, who had been living a quiet life in the Medicine God Sect, was concerned when he saw Jared carrying Lizbeth in his arms.
“She was poisoned, Mr. Deragon. I don’t know what poison they used on her, so I’m here to ask Mr. Knox for help.”
Lyanna and Melanie rushed over upon knowing Jared’s arrival. When the two ladies saw the unconscious Lizbeth, they were worried sick.
“My Lord…”
Axton and the other elders rushed over when they knew something was wrong.
Jared was relieved when he saw them. “Mr. Knox, take a look at her. She’s been unconscious for days…”
Axton nodded and started checking on Lizbeth, but to his dismay, even after he took a look at her, he still did not know what poison was used.
“This is weird. There’s no sign of intoxication at all! Could there be other reasons, My Lord?” Axton asked.
“I doubt so. They clearly told me that they used the same poison on me and Lizbeth. It’s just that my body is immune to poison, so she’s the only one that’s affected,” Jared replied, shaking his head.
The frown on Axton’s brows deepened. “This is peculiar. I can’t seem to find any clues. I don’t even know what poison it is, so there’s no way we can find a cure. What about we let her have an antidote pill first? We’ll see what happens from there.”
“Sure. I’ll leave her with you, Mr. Knox. You have to make sure she pulls through this. I still have to rush back to Jadeborough. If Lizbeth is still not well by the time I return, I will bring her to the person who poisoned her.”
Jared had to get going so he could be in time for the fight with Edgar at Jadeborough.
Since he already had the Power of Dragons, Jared was confident that he would be able to win.
He planned on bringing Lizbeth back to the Baron of the Northwest to seek revenge after he secured victory over Edgar.
“Don’t worry, My Lord. I might not know what poison was used, but her condition is stable. She is not in danger,” Axton assured.
Jared felt better when he heard Axton’s words. Since he had put Lizbeth in good hands, he decided to make a move, but Rayleigh wanted to talk to him. “Jared! Are you going back to fight Edgar?”
“How did you know, Mr. Deragon?” Since Rayleigh stayed at the Medicine God Sect most of the time, Jared was surprised Rayleigh knew about what was happening in the outside world.
“Of course! The whole martial arts world is talking about this. You have to be careful! The Deragons have a sacred item. I heard it is of no ordinary origins and that it is extremely powerful. I’m sure Edgar will use this against you,” Rayleigh advised.
