Chapter 1226 Let Them Go
“Mr. Chance!”
When Theodore glimpsed Jared’s pathetic state, he hurriedly stepped forward and supported the latter.
Relief suffused Jared at that moment, and he coughed up blood.
“Mr. Chance! Mr. Chance!”
At that, Theodore’s expression turned utterly panicked.
“Don’t worry, for he’s not going to die,” Mr. Sanders murmured placidly after glancing at Jared.
“I’m fine, General Jackson!”
Jared flashed Theodore a faint smile.
“Mr. Sanders, Jared barged into my banquet and killed someone of the Norton family, so I’m planning to teach him a lesson,” Skylar explained to Mr. Sanders meekly.
“I’m taking him away. Have everyone else scram,” Mr. Sanders drawled unhurriedly.
Upon hearing that the man wanted to take Jared away, Skylar frowned.
Jared is now a lamb to the slaughter. If I were to allow him to leave now, there probably wouldn’t be such a golden opportunity in the future.
“Mr. Sanders, he laid waste to the Norton residence and killed someone of the Norton family. If you were to take him away just like this, I—”
Crash!
Before he had even finished speaking, a gust of strong wind assailed him, promptly knocking him off his feet.
With a cold expression on his face, Mr. Sanders regarded Skylar with a flinty look in his eyes. “Did you not hear me?”
Skylar struggled to his feet, terror written all over his face.
Those from the martial arts families were also terrified to the point that they held their breaths.
No one saw what Mr. Sanders did, but Skylar was thrown back in a flash.
“I heard you and will do as you said, Mr. Sanders!”
Skylar didn’t dare express the slightest objection.
“Let’s go!” Mr. Sanders uttered to Theodore.
Theodore swiftly supported Jared, planning to leave quickly.
To his surprise, Jared broke free before declaring with a shake of his head, “I must save The Villainous Four today! Otherwise, I’d rather die here!”
“You’re not their match in your present condition, Mr. Chance! Let’s leave first!” Theodore urged in exasperation.
“I’m not going to leave without rescuing them, even if it means my death!”
Jared’s gaze radiated determination.
Following that, Theodore shot Mr. Sanders a helpless look.
Despite the chagrin on his face, Mr. Sanders still turned and pinned his gaze on Skylar.
“Where are The Villainous Four held?” he questioned mildly.
Skylar wavered for a moment, but he ultimately answered, “In the dungeon.”
“Take me there, and let them all go.”
Mr. Sanders’ voice was steely, making it clear that it was an order.
Skylar nodded, not daring to go against the man.
After all, even the Norton family was no match for the authorities.
He proceeded to lead Mr. Sanders, Jared, and Theodore to the dungeon.
The Norton family’s dungeon was exceedingly dark, and The Villainous Four were all imprisoned there.
Each of them had a special hook encircling their clavicles to prevent them from escaping.
In the adjacent cell was Howard.
After Howard had been held captive in the dungeon all this time, his hair was unkempt, and his expression had dulled considerably.
“Howard!”
When Lachlan saw that his son was confined in the dungeon and reduced to such a state, he instantly went off the deep end.
“I’m going to kill you, Skylar Norton! What was your promise to me?”
Murderous intent poured off him, and he swung his hand at Skylar.
He had always thought that the latter merely locked Howard up in a room without mistreating him in terms of clothing, food, and accommodations.
Never did he know that the man imprisoned his son in the dungeon.
Panic swamped Skylar, and he quickly backed away.
No sooner had Lachlan made his move than Mr. Sanders waved a hand. Lachlan was promptly pinned to the wall, unable to move.
Although the man was a Martial Arts Marquis, he was still nothing in front of Mr. Sanders.
That was proof of Mr. Sanders’ capabilities.
“Do you take me for nothing? If anyone dares to make another move, don’t blame me for showing you no mercy!”
After saying that, Mr. Sanders withdrew his martial energy. At once, Lachlan fell to the ground.
