Chapter 1255 Godson
After all, Richard was only a new Martial Arts Marquis, so he wasn’t very strong yet.
“I don’t have the habit of becoming someone else’s son. Besides, there are things I have to attend to. I can take care of myself, so no thanks.” Jared didn’t beat around the bush at all.
Richard was stunned as he didn’t expect Jared to turn him down.
Many people wanted to be his godson very badly, but he was very strict with who he picked.
And yet, Jared turned down his offer without hesitation. That shocked him.
“You’re not going to consider my offer at all, Jared?” Richard asked.
“I don’t need to because even if I become your godson, you can’t help me. Does Divine Beast Sect have the guts to fight against Warriors Alliance and the Deragons? If the Norton family traveled all the way here from Jadeborough to capture me, will you deny their request?” Jared’s bombardment of questions dumbfounded the leader of Divine Beast Sect.
That caused Richard’s face to flush with embarrassment because every word Jared uttered was like needles stabbing into his heart.
Indeed, Divine Beast Sect couldn’t afford to offend Warriors Alliance, the Deragons, or the Norton family.
If those people came to capture Jared, the sect wouldn’t dare to stop them.
Of course, there was a reason Richard wanted Jared to be his godson.
Ever since he learned that Jared had killed Peyton, he ran a background check on the former in the martial arts forum.
It was there he found out that Jared possessed plenty of magical items.
Thus, he came up with the thought of taking Jared as his godson because he wanted to take all his magical items without having to put up a tough fight.
If Jared joined Divine Beast Sect, all his magical items would belong to Richard.
To Richard’s surprise, Jared didn’t show him any respect at all.
“Since you looked down on Divine Beast Sect and killed my godson, you’re not leaving here until I’m satisfied with your answer…” Just as he finished speaking, the disciples of Divine Beast Sect promptly surrounded Jared.
All those disciples were Martial Arts Grandmaster.
“Didn’t you say you’re not going to avenge Peyton, Lord Frey?” Desmond swiftly stood in front of Jared when he saw Richard was gearing up for a battle.
“What’s the meaning of this, Elder Cowper?” Richard’s eyebrows furrowed.
“When I invited Mr. Chance here, I promised him we’re not going to cause him any trouble, Lord Frey. I can’t go against my own words. Even if Mr. Chance doesn’t want to stay in Divine Beast Sect right now, we should give him time to consider. I believe he’ll make the right choice.” Desmond fought to give Jared another chance.
It wasn’t because he had a connection with Jared. When Richard went against his promise to Jared, he felt like he had broken his agreement with Jared.
“Get out of my way, Elder Cowper! Have you forgotten your place? You’re an elder of Divine Beast Sect!” Richard warned.
Jared shot a grateful look at Desmond before speaking plainly. “I think you should step aside, Elder Cowper. What happens today has nothing to do with you.”
Desmond returned an embarrassed glance to Jared before stepping aside.
While he was an elder, he didn’t have actual power in the organization as Richard was the only one who could make decisions for Divine Beast Sect.
“I’m giving you one last chance, Jared. If you hand over the magical items in your possession, I’ll forget that you killed my godson,” Richard threatened.
When Jared heard that, he burst into a fit of laughter. So, he’s not interested in avenging Peyton at all. He just wants my magical items.
“Come and get them, if you can.” Jared promptly glowed with golden light before scales rapidly covered his entire body.
At that moment, he looked like a golden gladiator.
