Chapter 1373 Do His Best
“An immortal?” Zion’s eyes widened as a disbelieving expression crossed his face. Could Jared be…
Zion’s heart thumped furiously as his expression changed. Right then, two men wearing metal masks came in. Zion paled when he spotted them.
“Zion Zeigler, how could you embarrass the alliance when you are the president? Tanner is upset. How dare you lie to him? Do you know what you did wrong?” one of them questioned coldly. Zion’s legs nearly gave up on him.
He could barely stand on his feet as he replied hastily, “Sirs, I did kill Jared previously. I didn’t lie! It’s just a rumor that he’s still alive. I’ll investigate the matter now. If he’s still alive, I won’t let him escape. I promise to chop his head off and hand it to Tanner.”
His voice was trembling as he gave him their word.
Letting out a snort, the law enforcers replied, “Tanner is displeased with your actions, so watch it. This is your last chance.”
With that said, they spun on their heels and left.
After the law enforcers left, Zion hurried to the slum in the outskirts of Jadeborough where Flaxseed’s house was.
When he arrived at Flaxseed’s house, the door was locked. There was no one inside. “D*mn it, he escaped!” he cursed angrily.
Meanwhile, at the Deragon residence in Jadeborough, Ryker wore a grim expression.
He had been upset ever since he discovered that his son was possessed by a spirit.
“Dad, you’re right. Jared is still alive! Looks like I can get my revenge now!” Edgar was delighted to learn that Jared was still alive.
“Edgar, Jared’s strength has improved a lot. Even Zion couldn’t kill him, so you shouldn’t underestimate him!” Ryker reminded him.
“Don’t worry, Dad. Jared might’ve improved considerably, but I’m improving at a rapid speed, too. I hope you can find some martial arts expert for me to help me in my training,” Edgar responded.
Ryker knew what Edgar meant—the latter wanted to absorb other people’s power to improve his own strength.
However, Edgar will definitely attract Mr. Sanders’ attention if he absorbs the martial artists’ power in Jadeborough to increase his own strength. I remember Mr. Sanders mentioning this specifically in the meeting not long ago.
Nevertheless, he knew this was the only way for Edgar to take revenge. Otherwise, Edgar would never get to kill Jared.
“Okay. We can’t rush this, but I’ll think of a way to organize a training session. You can do whatever you want to do there,” Ryker said calmly.
“Thank you, my dear dad,” responded Edgar, guffawing loudly before he left.
On the other hand, Ryker seemed stumped. If he wanted to start a training session, the Warriors Alliance would not provide the location. Thus, the Deragons would have to provide the location themselves.
The location would have to be attractive enough. Ryker was reluctant to part with a valuable resource, but he had no choice.
I’ll have to do my best for Edgar’s sake.
With that thought in mind, Ryker got to his feet and went to contact the other families. He would need their help to organize a training session.
He also had to send a formal request to the Warriors Alliance and receive Mr. Sanders’ approval. There were many complicated steps.
Most importantly, Ryker could not let any big shots join the training session. It would cause a commotion if they were to join the training but ended up dying inside.
Some might even suspect the Deragon family for organizing the training. Thus, Ryker had to come up with a thorough plan before deciding on the location and candidates.
Because of this, he felt as if his head was about to explode.
