Chapter 1213 A Meeting
“That young man from the Norton family was brave enough to destroy the Village of Villains and take The Villainous Four as his hostages.”
“He has always been full of tricks. This time, he managed to reap the benefits of the battle between the Village of Villains and the Marsingfill martial arts world.”
“Is the Norton family at odds with the Village of Villains? Why did Skylar act so ruthlessly?”
“It was all because of Jared. I heard Skylar holds a grudge against Jared.”
“Oh? I didn’t know that. Still water runs deep, huh?”
Everyone in the martial arts world was talking about the matter.
However, only a few of them knew the truth. Most were making guesses.
It was all part of Skylar’s plan.
Those who knew the truth were already dead.
However, Skylar’s name managed to gain recognition in the martial arts world after this incident.
He was soon ranked on the Sage Leaderboard.
Meanwhile, Mr. Sanders was reading the posts on the forum in his office. He muttered, “The Norton family, Skylar Norton…”
“Mr. Sanders, the Village of Villains has been destroyed by the Norton family, and The Villainous Four have been taken as hostages. They may not have a good reputation, but they have never done anything wrong. Should we give the Norton family a warning about taking advantage of the Village of Villains’ weakened state?” Theodore asked.
He was on Jared’s side. The Norton family had successfully taken advantage of the Village of Villains’ weakened state and attacked them as they protected Jared. Thus, he wanted to help them out.
However, the Norton family would most probably ignore him, as he was just the General of the Department of Justice. The influential families would only listen to Mr. Sanders.
Ignoring him, Mr. Sanders continued reading the posts on the forum and mumbled, “The Norton family, Skylar Norton… I’ve never paid attention to this young man. This is just the beginning. Slowly, people will grow restless and take action. Skylar is the first one.”
As Mr. Sanders mumbled to himself, Theodore had no idea what he was talking about.
“Mr. Sanders, should we—”
Before Theodore could finish, Mr. Sanders gave a dismissive wave. “We do nothing. You can leave now!”
Theodore had no choice but to turn and leave.
He wanted to help the Village of Villains, but there was nothing he could do.
Back at the Jadeborough Warriors Alliance, Zion was seated on the main seat with Ryker beside him.
There were also some heads of martial arts families around.
Zion glanced at the crowd. “Everyone, we’re going to welcome a new year soon. This will be the last meeting for the Jadeborough Warriors Alliance! It will also be the last time we accept members.”
Turning to an elder beside him, he asked, “Did any families hand in their applications?”
“President Zeigler, we didn’t receive any applications until now,” the elder responded awkwardly in a small voice.
An ugly expression crept up Zion’s face when he heard that.
There were many martial arts families in the martial arts world in Jadeborough. However, the Jadeborough Warriors Alliance didn’t manage to get any new members.
The influential families didn’t even want to join them.
Besides, these families were busy expanding their influence as though they wanted to become their rivals.
As the president, Zion couldn’t let that happen.
“President Zeigler, after Jared killed Mr. Gordon, our reputation has been affected. Many martial arts families refused to join us. In fact, some families want to back out of the alliance! Now that the Norton family managed to destroy the Village of Villains and took The Villainous Four as hostages, many families are trying to get into their good books,” one family head said.
