Chapter 1269 Missing Home
The entire Jadeborough martial arts world had erupted into an uproar after the news of David killing Jared spread everywhere. Jared was recently the talk of the town, but he died just like that.
Some felt sad about his death, while some couldn’t contain their glee. In the Jadeborough Department of Justice, Mr. Sanders was sitting in his chair silently with an ugly scowl on his face.
Theodore and Xavier from the Law Enforcement Department stood beside him. None of them dared to utter a word.
A tense silence ensued in the Department of Justice.
Recently, Mr. Sanders often showed up in the Department of Justice. As the General, Theodore was stressed out by his presence.
“How is this possible? This is not possible. There’s no way Jared would die just like that. I know his ability,” Mr. Sanders muttered under his breath.
“Mr. Sanders, it was David Norton who spread the news of Jared’s death. He also disseminated a few photos. Besides, Mr. Chance is not David’s match. David is an experienced Martial Arts Marquis. No matter how talented Mr. Chance is, he isn’t capable of defeating David,” Theodore explained.
He clicked into the martial arts forum and found several photos of Jared posted by David.
Jared’s body was in a gruesome state, and it was obvious that he was dead.
Mr. Sanders fell silent at the sight of Jared’s photos. A while later, he told Xavier, “Captain Jennings, tell me about your recent findings.”
“Mr. Sanders, Demonic Cultivators have appeared frequently in different places recently. Some Demonic Cultivation organizations even started advertising themselves to get martial trainees. I’ve destroyed a few Demonic Cultivation organizations, but they are small fry. The big Demonic Cultivation organizations are nowhere to be seen. Compared to the last few years, those demonic cultivators are indeed more active lately,” Xavier reported honestly.
“Looks like the situation isn’t chaotic enough for the big fish to reveal themselves.” Mr. Sanders sighed and said nothing else.
Back in the Medicine God Sect, Rayleigh started trembling after he learned of Jared’s death.
“How is this possible? This is impossible. Just impossible!” Rayleigh refused to believe that Jared was killed.
I refuse to accept this! I did everything for Jared and Ms. Beatrice, but Jared died just like that. This is so upsetting!
Tears streamed down Rayleigh’s cheeks as he lifted his head and roared, “Why? Why is this happening to me? Why are the bad guys in power while the good guys die at a young age?”
Hatred flashed across Rayleigh’s eyes. I hate fate and those hypocrites!
Alas, he was an ordinary human and couldn’t do anything.
“Ms. Beatrice, I’ve let you down. I’ve failed you! When can you come back again?” Rayleigh sprawled on the ground and burst into tears.
Right then, Lizbeth, Melanie, and Lyanna showed up. They were surprised to see Rayleigh wailing his heart out.
They didn’t pay attention to the martial arts forum and didn’t know that Jared was dead.
“Mr. Deragon, what’s wrong?” Lizbeth asked in surprise.
Melanie and Lyanna chimed in, “Yeah, what’s wrong, Mr. Deragon?”
Rayleigh scrambled to his feet and wiped his tears away. Forcing out a smile, he said, “Oh, it’s nothing. New Year is coming, and I was missing home.”
“Missing home?”
Melanie couldn’t hide her surprise. “Mr. Deragon, you don’t have a home! I’ve been with you for years. We only have each other to depend on. You’ve never told me about your home. Besides, you’ve never gone home!”
