Chapter 1130 Trespassing
Coby and his men arrived at Gardner Manor.
His expression was dark as he glanced at the manor that was reconstructed after getting destroyed.
Just as he was about to lead his men in, two guards stopped him.
“Stop right there. Who are you? We’re in the middle of construction, so you can’t enter as you like,” one guard told Coby.
Coby shot them a wintry look. Forming claws with his hands, he attacked the guards’ heads without hesitation.
The guards didn’t even have time to scream in pain and collapsed to the ground as their brains burst.
Ignoring them, Coby stepped into the manor.
Right then, Joshua came over with his men.
After Karl’s death, he pledged his loyalty to Skylar and became an employee of the Norton family.
Joshua halted in his tracks and scowled at the sight of Coby.
Coby was surprised to see Joshua here. “Joshua, where is your master, Karl Gardner?”
“Mr. Coby, what a surprise to see you in Xenhall!” Joshua responded with a hint of panic on his face.
“Stop talking nonsense. Where is Karl?” Coby demanded.
Joshua trembled fearfully when he noticed the dead guards lying on the ground. “Mr. Coby, he has been killed. This manor now belongs to someone else,” he replied.
“Killed?” Coby knitted his brows. “By who?”
“Jared Chance!” Joshua answered honestly.
He didn’t dare to lie to Coby.
Coby was stunned to hear Jared’s name for the second time today.
“Karl’s dead, and you’re now working for someone else?” Narrowing his eyes, Coby uttered, “Let’s see who he is. I can’t believe he dares to take the manor away from me.”
Before Joshua could say anything, Coby shoved him away and barged in.
“How dare you trespass this area?”
A few Martial Arts Grandmasters from the Norton family were patrolling beneath the Pentacarna Tower. They spotted the trespassers and unleashed their weapons.
Coby lamented, “Turns out this man is powerful enough to hire Martial Arts Grandmasters to be his subordinates.”
Hearing his comment, the Martial Arts Grandmasters fumed angrily. Brandishing their weapons, they charged toward Coby. “How dare you? Stop being rude to—”
Coby waved both of his hands, forming a powerful gust of martial energy that sent the Martial Arts Grandmasters flying backward.
He was about to attack again when someone emerged from the Pentacarna Tower.
Whoosh! A few gusts of martial energy came at Coby.
“Ha! A Top Level Martial Arts Grandmaster trying to take me down, huh?” Snorting, Coby retaliated with a few gusts of martial energy, nullifying the attack.
“Mr. Norton!” Skylar’s subordinates yelled the moment they spotted him.
Coby gave Skylar the once-over and asked icily, “Are you Jared?”
He had never seen Jared before or watched the video posted on the martial arts forum. Thus, he mistook Skylar for Jared.
Skylar was taken aback. Before he could respond, Joshua stepped forward anxiously. “Mr. Coby, you’ve got the wrong person. This is Mr. Skylar Norton from the Jadeborough Nortons. He is in charge of reconstructing Gardner Manor!”
“The Jadeborough Nortons?” Coby’s expression changed abruptly.
He didn’t know who Skylar was, but he had heard of the Norton family previously. They were a formidable presence in Jadeborough for refusing to join the Jadeborough Warriors Alliance.
“Who is he?” Skylar asked.
Joshua introduced, “Mr. Norton, this is Coby Rowling from the Marsingfill Rowlings.”
“Coby Rowling? The one ranked fifth on the Sage Leaderboard?” Skylar observed Coby. “No wonder you’re strong and hot-tempered.”
