Chapter 1436 An Almost Impossible Task
Jared felt as if his internal organs had been hit out of place when blood sprayed from his mouth. He was sent flying hundreds of meters away, causing a big splash in the sea when he dropped into the body of water.
When underwater, Jared felt dizzy but could see a faint light in the seawater, so he quickly breathed out and swam toward the light.
It turned out that Jared deliberately let Edgar punch him into the sea so Zion would not burn him and destroy his Nascent Soul.
He hoped to escape Zion’s pursuit by going into the sea.
Just when Jared was getting closer to the light, he suddenly got pulled into a vortex.
He then lost consciousness as soon as his vision went black.
At that moment, Edgar, Zion, and the others all fixed their eyes on the surface of the sea, waiting for Jared to emerge.
However, the sea remained calm even after half an hour because Jared did not appear as expected.
“It’s over. Jared has to be dead.” Edgar let out a sigh of relief. Even though Martial Arts Marquis like us can move freely underwater and hold our breath for quite a while, we can’t live in the sea. On top of that, Jared is severely wounded, so it’s impossible for him to stay underwater for long!
On the other hand, Zion was not as positive-thinking as Edgar. He continued to keep his eyes fixed on the surface of the sea, expecting Jared to pop out anytime.
When another half an hour passed by, many had already set up camp, but Zion remained waiting vigilantly at the shore.
“President Zeigler, it’s been a long while, so I’m sure Jared is dead!” stated Edgar.
“What do you know?” Zion glanced coldly at Edgar before adding, “Something didn’t feel right. Jared purposely let you knock him into the sea. Now that he’s underwater, we have no way of knowing if he’s still alive!”
“Don’t you think you’re worrying too much, President Zeigler? Unless he was an immortal, he couldn’t have survived underwater with his injuries.” Edgar was displeased that Zion scolded him.
“Insolent…” scoffed Zion before turning to order Salvador. “Dive into the sea with your men and see if you can find Jared’s body.”
As commanded, Salvador then took three men with him and plunged helplessly into the seawater.
However, the four found nothing even after searching for more than an hour, for finding a body in the sea was an almost impossible task.
“We couldn’t find him, President Zeigler. The sea is just too vast,” reported Salvador.
“Then you will keep a lookout here tonight and see if Jared appears,” Zion ordered Salvador and the three men.
Hence, the four were forced to be on watch duty right after their half-day search.
They had to listen to Zion as long as he was the president of Warriors Alliance, even though he no longer had any real power.
Only after assigning the four to keep watch did Zion rest peacefully elsewhere.
The man would not stop looking until the day he saw Jared’s body with his own eyes.
With their spiritual sense spread out, Salvador and the others had a radius of several miles covered and would be notified as soon as Jared appeared.
However, they still got nothing by sunrise. It was as if Jared had vanished from the face of the earth.
