Chapter 1488 To Keep Themselves Safe
When Skylar heard Zion’s words, his expression promptly turned all the grimmer. “Crap! This is bad!” he cursed with a dark look on his face.
“What’s wrong, Skylar?” Zion inquired in utter bafflement. “I suspect Jared is still alive, and last night’s massacres were his doing,” Skylar stated gravely.
The instant Zion heard that, his expression changed drastically. In the next second, he shook his head and exclaimed, “That’s impossible! How could he possibly be alive? Even if he’s alive, it’s impossible for him to wipe out thirteen sects in a night with his capabilities. Don’t be such an alarmist.”
He didn’t believe that Jared was alive, nor could he accept that possibility. To him, the latter had long since died and couldn’t possibly be in the land of the living.
Just then, Ryker and Edgar, who had received news of the bloodbath, arrived.
They didn’t believe it either when they heard Skylar’s suspicion that Jared was still alive and it was the man who had annihilated the sects.
“If that conjecture of yours were to get out, Mr. Norton, you’d probably become a laughingstock. Even if Jared is still alive, he doesn’t have such immense power,” Ryker scoffed.
“Exactly! Even I can’t accomplish that with my capabilities now. Even if he’s still alive, he can’t possibly pull that off,” Edgar seconded.
“You may not be able to do it, but that doesn’t necessarily apply to him. Similarly, your capabilities have improved several folds these days. Yet, it also doesn’t mean that his capabilities have stagnated. Perhaps his capabilities have soared ever faster than yours.” Skylar threw the man a contemptuous look.
I’m not suspecting Jared for no reason. Various signs indicate that he’s likely still alive. Since he isn’t dead, it’s entirely possible that he did such a thing as slaughtering thirteen sects. He’s always been ruthless toward his enemies, never sparing a single soul. To top it off, he now hates the Warriors Alliance to the bone. All those sects have joined Warriors Alliance, so they’re his enemies.
“I think you’re just afraid of him. He obliterated the Norton family and hunted you down, so you’re traumatic. It’s only natural that you suspect him. After all, he has probably become your greatest nightmare.”
Although Skylar was the vice president, Edgar didn’t bother showing him the least bit of respect.
“How dare you!”
Skylar’s eyes blazed with fury. But still, he held himself back from making a move against the man.
Now isn’t the time for me to make my move yet. The time isn’t ripe yet.
“I’m off to cultivate. Since you all don’t believe me, just wait and see.”
Spinning on his heel, he left, for he wanted to make the most of the time he had to cultivate. Fortunately, the Warriors Alliance has Josephine’s blood. That will help me to cultivate faster!
“You’ve got to be careful, Mr. Deragon. The perpetrator might go for the Deragon family next,” Zion urged Ryker.
“Don’t worry, President Zeigler. If he dares come, I’ll definitely capture him!” Edgar proclaimed confidently before Ryker could even say anything.
I’ll be able to boost my capabilities again very soon. When I’ve gotten my hands on Renee’s armor and absorbed her power, I’ll be able to stand at the very top of the entire martial arts world of Jadeborough!
After Ryker and Edgar left, Zion sent some men out to investigate the matter and identify the perpetrator at once. He himself wasn’t idle either, for he needed to reassure the sects within the Warriors Alliance.
Many sects were scared witless and trembled in fear right then, for they had no idea when the perpetrator would pop up. If that happened, they would be at risk of extermination.
Some sects started choosing to withdraw from the Warriors Alliance. At the end of the day, the fact that the perpetrator was targeting the Warriors Alliance couldn’t be kept under wraps at all. In no time, word spread about the words etched on the mummified bodies. Some sects chose to leave the Warriors Alliance to keep themselves safe.
