Chapter 1390 Locked Up
At the entrance of Warriors Alliance in Jadeborough, Jared was quietly standing still. He was planning to barge into the Warriors Alliance and save Josephine.
Zion had already lost an arm, so there was no need for Jared to fear him anymore. Jared then tightened his grip on the Dragonslayer Sword as he readied his Golem Body.
At that very moment, it was as if he was a god of war, for anyone who looked at him would be able to sense his homicidal intent. However, just as Jared was about to enter the Warriors Alliance, someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Instantly, Jared smacked a palm in the direction of the other person. However, once he registered who it was, he halted in his tracks. Wind billowed from the force of his attack. Although he had stopped in time, the other person still felt his skin sting.
“Jared, you’ve really improved yourself!” Xavier commented as he rubbed his face. “Captain Jennings, what are you doing here?” Jared asked, confused.
“I’m here to look for you, of course. Mr. Sanders has expected you to barge into Warriors Alliance again, so he has asked me to come here and take you back,” Xavier answered. “How did Mr. Sanders find out that I’m back in Jadeborough?”
Jared furrowed his brows, but soon, he said in determination, “I’m not going back. I have to rescue my girlfriend.”
At the sight of Jared’s determined look, Xavier muttered helplessly, “Mr. Sanders knew that you were going to be stubborn, so he has told me to tell you that you’re doomed for certain death if you barge the Warriors Alliance this time. Don’t assume that you’re undefeatable because you’re seemingly immortal. Many people know about that little secret of yours.”
Jared froze and widened his eyes at Xavier. That look made the hairs on the back of Xavier’s neck stand. “Don’t look at me like that. It’s what Mr. Sanders asked me to tell you. I don’t know what secrets you could possibly have,” Xavier quickly said as he waved his hands.
Jared was silent. He was stunned to his core, and he was starting to wonder about Mr. Sanders’ identity. Could it be that Mr. Sanders is a powerful energy cultivator as well? But I’m an energy cultivator who has achieved Nascent Soul. Could my current level mean nothing to Mr. Sanders?
Jared could not fathom the answer to his question, let alone why Mr. Sanders was doing such a thing. A while later, Jared finally nodded and left with Xavier.
When he walked off, he turned around to look at the Warriors Alliance and said, “Don’t worry, Josephine. I’ll rescue you one day.” Jared was brought to an ordinary-looking courtyard house.
He was confounded the moment he arrived. I usually meet Mr. Sanders at the Department of Justice, so why are we here this time?
“Captain Jennings, why have you brought me here?” Jared asked, confused. “To meet Mr. Sanders, of course,” Xavier responded. At that, Jared stopped his questions and continued following Xavier into the house.
Upon entering the room, Jared realized that the courtyard house was no ordinary house. He could sense the fluctuations of aura all over the place, as well as the hidden traps and arcane arrays.
This must be Mr. Sanders’ residence and workplace. It’s my first time here. “Jared, please take a seat first. Mr. Sanders will be here in a moment,” Xavier said as he poured a cup of tea for Jared.
“Thank you, Captain Jennings,” Jared said to Xavier as he took the cup of tea from the latter. Xavier then gave Jared a long look before stepping out of the room and closing the door behind him.
Yet, just as Xavier closed the door, the house shook. In the next moment, Jared heard rumbling sounds. Jared’s brows snapped together before his expression changed. He leaped to his feet and rushed toward the outside of the room.
However, just as he reached the doorway, he was greeted by the sight of an iron gate sealing the room off. Then, faint white light glowed around the room and locked Jared inside like glowing screens.
At that, Jared threw a palm at the screens. Thump! After the explosive sound, Jared was propelled away from the edge of the room. Only then did Jared realize that the entire room was covered with restrictions. There was no way he could escape.
