Chapter 1399 Do You Have The Guts
However, Diego didn’t say anything about it. He merely shook hands with Skylar after regaining his senses.
“Skylar, do you know if Jared has returned to Jadeborough?” Zion asked Skylar about Jared’s whereabouts.
“Jared is in Jadeborough, yet we didn’t discover his whereabouts these few days. I wonder if he has hidden somewhere!” Skylar answered.
“Hmph! I’d hunt him down no matter where he is!” Zion said menacingly after gazing at his lost arm.
After a while, he waved his hand and added, “I would like to have a chat with Diego. You may leave now. I’ll call you if I need anything.”
“All right.” Skylar nodded and left the lobby.
After Skylar left, Zion sat on his seat and said to Diego, “Diego, do have fun in Jadeborough for a few days after you kill Jared. I will show you around personally.”
Without responding to that, Diego put on a faint smile. “Zion, I think you should have a sense of impending crisis by now. I’m afraid you might be abandoned soon.”
Zion was a little startled. “Diego, what do you mean? Did you notice anything?”
Diego shook his head. “No, I didn’t. I only wanted to remind you! Well, I have to get some rest now. Please send your subordinates to find out where Jared is now.”
Since Diego didn’t want to say anything further, Zion decided not to dwell on it. He prepared a room for Diego to rest in and instructed his subordinates to find Jared.
Early in the morning, Zion jolted awake when someone roared, “Zion, I know you’re back in Jadeborough. Come out here and meet your end!”
Everyone soon realized that it was Jared shouting outside the Warriors Alliance’s headquarters.
Zion and Diego hastily got out of bed upon hearing that.
“What does Jared think he’s doing? How dare he show up at my doorstep?” Zion murmured while gritting his teeth.
“Zion, calm down. Let me destroy him,” Diego comforted him nonchalantly, as though he wasn’t bothered by Jared’s presence.
Then, Diego quickly walked toward the entrance, followed by Zion.
Meanwhile, when Jared saw two figures approaching, he could tell the one without an arm was Zion. The sturdy man beside Zion was none other than Diego.
A spiritual sense exuded from Jared and enveloped Diego.
A cold glint flashed past Diego’s eyes. “Hmph! Puny tricks.”
Following his disdainful sneer, a golden light streaked past his eyes. The next moment, Jared’s spiritual sense was cut off.
Jared narrowed his eyes slightly. “He’s indeed an energy cultivator.”
Jared’s gaze was filled with greed and desire as he stared at Diego. He couldn’t wait to disembowel Diego to extract his Nascent Soul.
Looking at Jared, Diego questioned coldly, “Are you Jared?”
“Yes, I’m Jared. Who are you?”
Although Jared knew Diego’s identity, he pretended otherwise to provoke the latter.
As he expected, Diego was enraged instantly.
“Young man, you need to learn your place. I’ll snatch your draconic essence and extract your Nascent Soul!” As Diego spoke, an imposing aura exuded from him.
His aura, which came with waves of spiritual energy, was undoubtedly stronger than Zion’s.
Jared stared at Diego coldly. Deep down, he was surprised that Diego also intended to kill him to obtain his Nascent Soul.
Therefore, they both had the same goal—extract the opponent’s Nascent Soul!
Just as Diego was about to take his first move, Zion stopped him and advised, “Diego, don’t do it here. Otherwise, we will court unwanted trouble from the officials.”
After stopping Diego, Zion turned to Jared and challenged him. “Jared, do you have the guts to fight in the outskirts?”
