Chapter 1657 Rode On His Coattails
Soon, Augustus and his men arrived. The former walked through the door and exclaimed, “Tony! Who dares to despise Gutwrencher Sect? Tell me!”
Immediately, Tony hurriedly dashed toward him. “My lord, these two men made me call you…”
With that, Augustus cast his gaze in the direction Tony was pointing. The color drained from his face when he saw Flaxseed and Jared.
“It’s me. I despise Gutwrencher Sect. What are you going to do to me?” Flaxseed walked toward Augustus.
Upon seeing his arrogant reaction, Tony bellowed, “How dare you speak like this to my lord? You just wait—”
Before he could finish his sentence, Augustus interrupted him and slapped him hard across his face! “A**hole! How dare you disrespect Mr. Flaxseed?”
After giving Tony a piece of his mind, he immediately put on a wry smile and apologized, “Mr. Flaxseed, I didn’t know you were here. I’m sorry that my subordinate disrespected you.”
Tony’s jaw dropped when he saw how courteous Augustus was when the latter was talking to Flaxseed!
All the guests, too, were stunned by the turn of events. Turning their attention to Flaxseed, they were in absolute awe of him.
Knowing everyone had started looking up to him, Flaxseed basked in his moment of glory.
Jared walked over and said, “It’s not a matter of respect. Your subordinate wanted to take over the Simmons family. I don’t care if that’s your or your subordinate’s idea, but listen carefully—the Simmonses and I go way back. If anything happens to them, you’ll be the first person I’ll look for.”
“I know nothing about this, Mr. Chance. But don’t worry, no one would lay a finger on the Simmonses as long as Gutwrencher Sect is around!” Augustus promised right away.
“Get your men out of here!” Jared waved a dismissive hand.
Augustus instantly instructed his subordinates to retreat.
After spending some time sprucing the place up, the wedding continued.
After the incident, Jared and Flaxseed stole the limelight from the newlyweds at the reception.
All the guests kept going over to their table to toast them in order to get in their good books.
Jared eventually found an opportunity to sneak out of the hall, but Flaxseed stayed back as he loved being the center of attention.
In the end, he got so drunk that he passed out!
When Flaxseed woke up the next day, he realized Jared had left for Jadeborough.
Jared had also written him a letter and told him to stay in Whitesea and study the ancient ruins of Skywrath Sect. He also promised Flaxseed that he would return to continue the exploration should an opportunity arise.
“Does he think I’m his lackey?” Flaxseed crumpled the letter into a ball, tossed it away, and fell into a deep slumber again.
Meanwhile, the Deragon residence had become more lively in just a few days.
Besides the Deragons, Leviathan’s Shadow Estate and The Villainous Four’s Village of Villains had also moved back to Jadeborough.
In the past, Leviathan had no choice but to team up with The Villainous Four and go to Medicine God Sect. They had to do that as they needed to slip under Warriors Alliance’s radar.
Now that Warriors Alliance’s influence had waned, more prestigious families started pledging their loyalty to Jared.
That was why they relocated back to Jadeborough.
The Deragons, Shadow Estate, and Village of Villains had worked closely with one another to keep the enemy at bay.
In addition, Jared’s position as Lord of Medicine God Sect and the support he received from the Dunns further strengthened his power in Jadeborough. In other words, he was the most powerful man in the capital city now!
Besides changes in Jadeborough, Tommy from Horington and Phoenix had also ridden on Jared’s coattails and became the most established clan in their city.
At this point, Jared’s influence was at its zenith. He had become the subject of people’s admiration.
He had never expected so many things to happen when he was gone in the last few days!
While most prestigious families started pledging their allegiance to Jared, Skylar from Warriors Alliance in Jadeborough had plunged into despair. How could all these happen when I’ve just taken over Warriors Alliance?
The glory and power Warriors Alliance enjoyed during its heyday had become a thing of the past.
