Chapter 1327 Heavenly Net
The next day, all the sects and martial arts families of Jadeborough gathered at the Department of Justice. To them, the meeting that was going to be held was obviously different than the ones they had attended in the past.
There had never been an instance of so many attendees in a meeting. The total number of martial artists in Jadeborough, including those from the sects and martial arts families, was already more than a hundred.
Of that population, one-third was from the Warriors Alliance as not all sects and families from the martial arts world had joined the alliance.
“Why did Mr. Sanders gather all of us here so suddenly? Is something going to happen soon?”
“I heard that some men in black have appeared lately. Maybe it’s related to the resurgence of Demonic Cultivators. It seems that bloodshed will be unavoidable.”
“The martial arts world is not exactly united right now. If Demonic Cultivators really have returned, it would be difficult to hold them back!”
The attendees were discussing amongst themselves, especially with the people they knew.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Department of Justice, Lachlan and Howard were looking outside. It was as if they were waiting for someone.
“General Jackson, are you sure Mr. Chance received the invitation too?” Lachlan asked Theodore.
After all, Jared was alone and had never announced anything about setting up a sect of his own. Moreover, he wasn’t even a member of the Warriors Alliance. An individual like him usually wouldn’t be invited to such a big meeting.
Theodore smiled. “Of course. Mr. Sanders said it himself. Besides, isn’t the Dunn family following Mr. Chance nowadays?”
“That’s right! The Dunn family obeys Mr. Chance’s every command, so Mr. Chance can make any decisions on behalf of my family!” Lachlan quickly replied while nodding.
Soon, Jared appeared at the entrance. Lachlan and Howard quickly rushed up to the latter to welcome him.
Seeing that Jared was actually attending a meeting of that scale, many of the attendees turned to look at him.
“President Zeigler, Jared Chance is here,” someone said softly next to Zion’s ear.
“Is everything ready?” Zion murmured while looking at Jared, who was walking in from the entrance.
That person nodded. “Yes. Everything is ready. Once Jared leaves, he’ll surely die.”
Zion had already set up the Heavenly Net to trap Jared. Although he didn’t dare to make his move during the meeting at the Department of Justice, once Jared left the venue, the latter would have no place to run.
Jared looked around him and noticed that there were many people there, most of whom were unfamiliar faces to him.
On the contrary, those people had long heard of Jared’s name.
Jared’s name had spread far and wide in the entire martial arts world in Jadeborough recently, and it seemed almost everyone had heard about him.
Suddenly, one of the attendees stood up and asked, “Jared, this is a meeting for the sects and martial arts families in Jadeborough. What right do you have to be here when you’re all by yourself? Do you even have an invitation?”
That person was a member of one of the sects in the Warriors Alliance. Therefore, he wanted to assert his dominance as soon as he saw Jared.
The reason he did that was nothing more than to make an impression in front of Zion.
When he said that, many attendees looked at Jared and started gossiping about the latter.
In truth, Jared didn’t have an invitation since Xavier merely invited the former verbally.
At that moment, Theodore wanted to explain, but unexpectedly, Lachlan spoke before he could. “Mr. Chance is here on behalf of the Dunn family. From now on, the Dunn family will be Mr. Chance’s followers! Whoever’s got a problem with that, let’s fight outside! I guess you’ve gotten tired of living. Believe it or not, once we get out of that door, I’ll make your sect disappear from the martial arts world of Jadeborough!”
Lachlan glared piercingly at the man who provoked Jared earlier.
Even though the Dunn family had not joined the Warriors Alliance, no one dared to mess with them because they were strong enough that the average sects or martial arts families couldn’t compete with them.
At Lachlan’s words, an awkward expression instantly took over that sect leader’s face.
