Chapter 1598 Hidden Intent To Kill
Just as the large hand was a hair’s breadth away from the rockery, it abruptly illuminated. The hand formed by the black mist instantly dissipated.
Edgar tensed up, utterly stunned. Although he had not used all of his power earlier, it was still shocking to him that the rockery remained intact after his attack.
“So, Warriors Alliance does have some trump cards. Well, I refuse to believe that I won’t be able to break an arcane array!” With that said, Edgar gathered the black mist in preparation for a mightier attack.
“You should stop. You won’t be able to break this arcane array,” said the raspy voice in Edgar’s mind. “Sir, are you saying that even I, a Greater Martial Arts Marquis, won’t be able to break this arcane array?”
Edgar found it difficult to believe in the raspy voice’s words. Who made this arcane array that even I, a Greater Martial Arts Marquis, can’t break?”
“This is the ancient Soul Lock Array. Although the one who set up this array has only used half of this array’s power, this is not an array someone like you will be able to forcibly break. I never thought that someone in Warriors Alliance will be able to set up an array like this. It looks like Warriors Alliance isn’t as simple as it seems,” the raspy voice commented, its tone laced with surprise.
At that, Edgar sighed and left the spot.
Soon, the news of the Deragon family taking over Warriors Alliance spread like wildfire in Jadeborough’s martial arts world.
Furthermore, Edgar organized a banquet at the Deragon residence and invited all of the sects and prestigious families of Jadeborough’s martial arts world.
It was obvious what his aim was.
Those who attended the banquet were the ones who saw the Deragons as friends, and those who did not were people who Edgar was going to get rid of.
Edgar wanted to take the opportunity to make the entire martial arts world of Jadeborough submit to the Deragon family.
Although many of the sects and prestigious families were upset about the situation, they were forced to endure it in silence due to how powerful Edgar was.
After all, he had even killed Zion of Warriors Alliance. What else did he not dare to do?
The representatives of almost all of the sects and families of Jadeborough’s martial arts world were present at the Deragon family’s banquet, and that stroked Edgar’s ego.
Ryker was equally thrilled by the scene in front of him.
The Deragon family had never encountered something like this even when they were at their prime back then.
As the head of the Deragon family and the president of Warriors Alliance, Ryker had dressed to his nines. Once the tables were almost filled, he took his seat.
“Godrick, have all the representatives of the sect and prestigious families in the martial arts world arrived?” Ryker queried.
“Old Mr. Deragon, everyone but the representative from the Dunn family and the Gunderson family has come,” Godrick whispered.
Ryker scowled when he heard Godrick’s answer.
“Hmph! The Dunn family and the Gunderson family again. They think too highly of themselves. The Deragons are no longer what we used to be, and if they’re so disrespectful of us…”
“Don’t worry, Dad. These two families will soon be gone from Jadeborough’s martial arts world,” said Edgar who was radiating a murderous aura.
“Okay.” Ryker nodded. He then turned to Godrick and said, “Go out and take good care of the guests. Don’t bring shame to the Deragons’ reputation.”
“Yes, sir.”
Just as Godrick stepped out of the room, a worried look crept onto his face.
He had been keeping a low profile the entire time, for he was eyeing the position of the head of the Deragon family.
However, Edgar had become a Greater Martial Arts Marquis. It would be far more difficult for him to snatch the position from Ryker now.
Initially, he planned to use Jared to get rid of Ryker and Edgar so that he would be able to get what he had been eyeing.
He did not expect Jared to go missing for months—he did not even know if Jared was still alive.
After taking a deep breath, Godrick summoned the others of the Deragon family to start greeting and serving their guests.
Nevertheless, Godrick quietly made up his mind to never give up.
I will keep my blade in the sheath and my intent to kill hidden for now.
