Chapter 1391 Man In Black
“Xavier, what do you mean by this?” Jared roared before wielding his Dragonslayer Sword and swinging it toward the iron gate.
Clang! came the sonorous sound. However, the terrifying rebound energy made Jared take steps back as a wave of numbness rolled up his arm.
Nevertheless, his sword had managed to dent the iron gate.
Once Jared discovered the dent, he swung his sword to hit the gate again.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
There were more dents on the iron gate, but by then, his hand was already bleeding profusely.
The entire house began shaking as Jared slashed the gate with all his might.
Xavier, who was standing in the courtyard, frowned and pursed his lips guiltily as he stared at the shaking house and listened to Jared’s angry roars.
Right then, Mr. Sanders appeared beside Xavier.
“Mr. Sanders, we’re…”
Xavier did not know what Mr. Sanders was trying to do—why Mr. Sanders was keeping Jared locked up.
“You’re not allowed to let him out without my permission,” was all Mr. Sanders coldly said before leaving.
Xavier sighed. In the end, he turned and left as well.
In the meantime, Jared was still frantically swinging his sword. Even though his hand was completely bloody, he never once stopped.
Only when Jared’s spiritual energy was depleted—only when he could no longer make another swing—did he finally slump to the ground.
“Why? Why?” Jared bellowed. He wanted to know why Mr. Sanders had done this to him. He wanted to know why the other man had locked him up.
Right as Jared was in the throes of despair, he abruptly recalled that he had Necro Ring. The space-manipulating magical item would allow him to escape the room.
Thus, Jared promptly took out the Necro Ring from his Storage Ring and threw it into the air.
However, the dark portal did not appear, and the Necro Ring fell to the ground with a loud clang.
“This… This restrictive power is even stopping a space-manipulating magical item like this?” Jared muttered as he slumped to the ground again in despair.
At the Warriors Alliance in Jadeborough, a half-discernible person was sitting in the frontmost seat in the hall, and that person was radiating a murderous aura.
At the two sides of the hall were dozens of men who had concealed themselves with their black robes.
Their faces were completely hidden from sight as well. Moreover, their black robes had a circular pattern in the middle, and some had different colors to distinguish ranking.
Some of the men in black had copper-colored patterns, and some had silvery-gray-colored patterns. Some even had golden patterns. Each color was a symbol of their power and status.
“Where did that useless man Zion go to?” Tanner, who was on the frontmost seat, icily questioned.
“Lord Tanner, Zion has gone to Encanta Island. He must have gone there in search of help,” replied a man in a black robe with a golden pattern.
“Hmph! At least that loser managed to figure it out at the very end,” Tanner scoffed. “You must hurry and train more expert combatants. We need a better representative in the martial arts world. As for Zion… we’ll give him one more chance.”
“Understood.” The man in a black robe with a golden pattern nodded.
After a shift in the air, the petrifying murderous aura disappeared, and so did Tanner.
Once Tanner was gone, the rest all let out a sigh of relief.
“Did you hear what Lord Tanner has said?” the man in a black robe with a golden pattern asked in a glacial tone.
“Yes, we have!” the other men in black answered in unison.
Then, the man in a black robe with a golden pattern turned to a man in a black robe with a copper-colored pattern and said, “Stay in the Warriors Alliance and assist Zion. Also, train more elite combatants.”
“Understood!” the other man replied.
Soon, all of the men in black were gone; only the black-and-copper-color-robed man remained in the hall.
The man then slowly took off his robe and revealed his pale face and delicate features.
If Jared had seen his face, he would have been startled.
