Chapter 1597 Death To Jared
“No, non-essential personnel must not enter the alliance’s dungeon unless they have a good reason to. The higher-ups have given the order not to lay a finger on Josephine too,” Zion rejected.
Josephine was the treasure of the Warriors Alliance. Tanner himself had been the one to give out the order, and Zion would never dare to go against his words.
“What did you say?” Edgar hissed, the pressure coming from him intensifying. Zion could feel his chest tightening, he still did not have the courage to agree to Edgar’s request.
“I’m the one in charge of Warriors Alliance now. Death to all who oppose me!” With that, Edgar shot out his arm and sucked Zion toward him with his power.
Zion was shaking. He could acutely feel the dreadful murderous intent coming from Edgar. Despite that, Zion dared not go against Tanner’s order.
He knew that death was the worst-case scenario for him if he did not heed Edgar’s words. However, if he were to cross Tanner, what awaited him would be a life in a living hell.
“Edgar, listen to me and stop now. Warriors Alliance isn’t what you think it is. You’ve never seen how powerful it really is,” Zion told Edgar.
“Ha! I’m a Greater Martial Arts Marquis now, and I’ve gone through the lightning tribulation. Who can possibly be a match for me?”
Edgar’s pride had taken over his mind, and he looked down on everyone else. Zion did not know what else he could say to the haughty Edgar.
Nevertheless, he was not going to bring Edgar to the dungeon. “Are you not afraid of death, Zion?”
Edgar snapped his brows together at Zion’s resistance. “I am, but if I take you to the dungeon, I’ll have a fate worse than death.”
Zion slowly closed his eyes. “Very well. Since you won’t listen to me, I see no point keeping you around.”
With that, a black mist appeared on his palm before a strong suction power manifested. That was what he was going to use to absorb Zion’s power.
Zion could feel his power seeping out of him, but he made no move to resist, for he had already submitted to his fate.
All of a sudden, the image of Jared flashed past Zion’s mind.
The thought made Zion curl his lips before laughing self-deprecatingly.
He always thought of Jared as the thorn in the flesh, and he was always scared that the young man would kill him.
What he never thought about was that his life would end in Edgar’s hands instead of Jared’s.
Maybe Jared is still in Jadeborough and will be able to hold his ground against Edgar, Zion mused.
Gradually, Zion became physically weaker as his thought process slowed down. He knew that he was in the last seconds of his life.
Shortly after, Zion stopped breathing. His body had turned into a dried corpse.
Zion Zeigler was the Warriors Alliance’s president, but this was his miserable end.
Edgar licked his lips after absorbing Zion’s power, and his eyes became brighter.
The others were frightened out of their wits when they saw Zion turn into a dried corpse. Swiftly, they lowered their heads and held their breaths.
“This is what will happen to you if you don’t listen to what I say. Do remember this moment,” Edgar said as he studied the crowd.
The others quickly nodded in silence.
Edgar then walked to Warriors Alliance’s backyard and stared at the rockery. He knew that this was the entrance to the dungeon.
However, the dungeon would definitely be protected by an arcane array. If Edgar wanted to go in, he would have to break the arcane array.
“Ha! How can a mere arcane array get in my way?”
Edgar was filled with nothing but arrogance at the moment. As the only Greater Martial Arts Marquis who had undergone lightning tribulation, he feared nothing.
Without wasting a beat, Edgar lifted his arm and gathered black mist on his palm.
The black mist then turned into a large palm that radiated powerful waves of aura.
That humongous hand covered the entire rockery.
Bam!
With a quick push, the mighty aura slammed toward the rockery.
