Chapter 678 Village Of Villains
Little did Axton and Donald know that Rayleigh and Melanie had overheard their conversation from a few seats away. Although the two spoke softly, Rayleigh caught every word they said.
Melaine frowned and asked, “Mr. Deragon, they must be looking for your detoxification pill. Who are they?”
“They are from the Medicine God Sect. I didn’t expect people from there to be interested in Jared and Xander’s match,” Rayleigh muttered indifferently.
“Medicine God Sect?” Melanie was surprised to hear that. “I heard those people were arrogant and regarded themselves as superior beings. If they pride themselves as honorable people, why would they have such a greedy thought?”
“Hmph!” Rayleigh snorted, “When it comes to such benefits, nothing else would matter. Who cares whether they are upright or not? Have you forgotten who picked you up and handed you over to me?”
Melaine’s expression changed almost instantly. Sounding hurt, she mumbled, “You told me that Brody from the Village of Villains passed me to you.”
Rayleigh nodded. “There are rumors that people from the Village of Villains are wicked. However, when Brody saw you on the streets, he had the heart to take you in. Do you think he is a bad guy then?”
In response, Melanie shook her head. Recalling her past conversation with Rayleigh, she turned back to him and muttered, “Mr. Deragon, you mentioned you would take me to the Village of Villains if we had the time. I like to meet my benefactor in person.”
“Yes. Let’s speak about it after July 15. Who knows, I might need the help of those from the Village of Villains. The Deragons will not let Jared off so easily, and I don’t think Mr. Draco and me are enough to protect him.”
Rayleigh seemed sullen as he spoke of the situation.
“Mr. Deragon, who the hell is Jared? Why do you and Old Mr. Deragon have to go to such lengths to protect him?” Melanie curiously probed.
“It’s for your own good to know as little as possible. Also, don’t use your Seduction Technique carelessly. You have a natural feminine charm. If someone evil catches wind of it, it will mean trouble for you,” Rayleigh reminded her.
“I understand.” Melanie nodded her head in acknowledgment.
While they conversed, the crowd suddenly got all worked up.
“Xander has come out!” Someone beside them shouted.
Everyone else turned their attention to the arena and noticed Xander taking the lead to enter the arena first. He hopped up and landed lightly on his feet. Sean and the Coopers followed behind him.
“As expected, Xander has achieved the rank of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.”
Someone stated in admiration, “It seems like the Coopers’ power will only increase. Look at how all their family members are Grandmasters. There is even someone who is a Senior Grandmaster.”
“Jared is a nobody in comparison. How dare he provoke the Coopers? He must be courting his death.”
On the other hand, some people pitied Jared. “Ah, he is going to lose his life at such a young age. How sad.”
The crowd discussed among themselves but kept their eyes glued on the arena. They knew that Jared would appear soon, and they wanted to see who he was.
Immediately after Xander made his way to the arena, Jared and his men emerged from the lounge.
Following Jared’s appearance, the entire stadium stood up. Everyone was craning their necks to catch a better glimpse of Jared, curious about who the daring man was.
“What? Is that young man standing at the front Jared? He looks like a fine chap.”
“Isn’t that Samuel from the Bailey family walking behind him? That is Theodore Jackson, the General of Jadeborough’s Department of Justice too. How do they know Jared?”
“No wonder Jared dared to accept this challenge. I see that there are people who are backing him. But even with the Baileys and Jadeborough’s Department of Justice support, Xander would not let him off. I bet his will to avenge his sons would seem more important.”
The spectators were taken aback.
