Chapter 352 Warriors Alliance
It didn’t take long before Lizbeth was done cooking the pasta. She even whipped up two more dishes on the side, and Jared found himself getting hungry when he got a whiff of the food.
“For someone with average fighting skills, your cooking sure is amazing!” he complimented her after taking a few bites.
The look on Lizbeth’s face turned cold instantly. “Who are you calling average? I’ll have you know that I’m the best in my team when it comes to martial arts!”
“Right, sure… Of course, you’re the best,” Jared mumbled. How is someone of her skill level able to become a champion? Heh… Anthony must’ve gone easy on her out of respect for Walter!
Lizbeth shot him a fierce glare before asking curiously, “Still, I’m surprised at how strong you are. Who did you learn your martial arts from?”
“Of course I’m strong! How would I have wiped out the Whitaker family if I wasn’t strong? I am actually self-taught, but I am talented enough to pull it off!” Jared replied proudly.
“Pfft!” Lizbeth rolled her eyes at him as she didn’t believe in his talent.
“Is it just me or do the people here in Summerbank not respect you investigators at all?” Jared asked.
His words hit Lizbeth where it hurt most, and the look on her face grew depressed as she explained, “Summerbank is famous for its practice of martial arts. You’ll find martial arts schools and martial arts families everywhere. With that many martial arts families around, it’s only natural that the number of conflicts would increase as well. The Department of Justice can only do so much to maintain order around here. In fact, there are times when we can’t even do anything about it. The martial arts families are all under the Warriors Alliance, and their conflicts are often resolved by said organization.”
Her reply piqued Jared’s interest. “Warriors Alliance? I didn’t know such a thing exist here in Summerbank!”
Being an ordinary person, it was perfectly normal for Jared to not know about these things as he never had a chance to come across them.
“Of course! The Warriors Alliance is made up of Summerbank’s top four martial arts families with the purpose of keeping each other in check as well as standing up to challenges from other martial artists.”
“What are the four martial arts families?” Jared asked.
“The Jantz family, the Wagner family, the Schmidt family, and the Phoenix Regiment,” Lizbeth replied.
“Phoenix Regiment? What’s a regiment like that doing in there?” Jared’s curiosity grew stronger.
“Although Phoenix Regiment didn’t have a lot of time to develop and grow, it is still a very strong organization by itself. I hear they’re almost at the level of Grandmasters when it comes to internal energy! Phoenix may be a woman, but she is incredibly ruthless in her ways. In just a short amount of time, she was able to strengthen Phoenix Regiment enough to earn it a spot in the Warriors Alliance. The most impressive part? She never once did anything illegal to achieve all that!” Lizbeth’s eyes were filled with admiration for Phoenix as she said all that.
“Phoenix sure is a formidable woman, huh?”
Jared too, found himself admiring her greatness from the bottom of his heart.
Lizbeth’s eyes lit up as she said, “Yeah! Most of us here in Summerbank practically worship her like a goddess! She’s so terrifying that most of the bullies from wealthy and powerful families would humble themselves in front of her. In fact, the reason Phoenix Regiment and the Whitaker family don’t get along is because she had whooped Tyrion’s ass a few times! You know, you might actually stand a chance at survival if you can get yourself acquainted with Phoenix! The Jantz family will think twice about killing you if she’s on your side!”
“Oh? Don’t you want the Jantz family to kill me? I mean, I am a murderer who wiped out the entire Whitaker family,” Jared asked with a mischievous grin on his face.
“Of course not! Josephine would be devastated if you were to die, and I don’t want to see my best friend cry. Besides, the Whitaker family had it coming anyway.”
Being in the safety of her own home, Lizbeth no longer bothered to filter her words.
“Hahaha! With or without Phoenix, the Jantz family won’t be able to kill me that easily!” Jared said with a confident chuckle, showing no regard for the Jantz family’s strength at all.
