Chapter 973 Disemboweled
Even though Godrick didn’t know who was secretly helping Jared, the fact that the latter could wipe out all five guardians of the Deragons meant that he was no ordinary person.
“But you’re a Third Level Martial Arts Grandmaster. Can’t you beat Jared?” Edgar replied as he gave Godrick a quizzical look.
“You may not be aware of this, Mr. Edgar, but Jared has hidden his true powers. I won’t be surprised if he’s now a Fifth Level Martial Arts Grandmaster.”
“You’re such a piece of garbage! To think everyone deems you the most talented person in the Deragons!” Edgar snapped. “Looks like I’ll have to do this myself.”
Although he felt humiliated, Godrick merely put up with it, not daring to retaliate. “Mr. Edgar, I know Kristoff and Kenneth aren’t on good terms with Jared. Why don’t we get them to deal with him instead? Isn’t it better if we don’t have to dirty our own hands?”
Edgar had to admit he liked the sound of the plan and quickly waved Kristoff and Kenneth over.
“Mr. Edgar,” both men greeted as they hastily ran forward.
They already had to bow before Godrick, so it was no surprise that they would do the same for Edgar.
“Is it true that you guys have a beef with Jared Chance?”
Kristoff nodded. “Indeed, Mr. Edgar. Jared was the one who severed my arm.”
Edgar’s lips instantly curled into a smile. “This is the perfect opportunity for you, then! I want you to beat up and cripple Jared. But remember, you’re not to kill him. When the Trial is over, I’ll distribute some resources to your families.”
Upon hearing that, Kenneth and Kristoff hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Jared was still frowning as he sensed the aura in the ancient tomb. I don’t get it. What on earth is lurking in this tomb that activated my Focus Technique? What dangers are there?
Just then, Kenneth and Kristoff began to lead their men toward Jared. No one else bothered to stop them as they watched on in curiosity and excitement.
Warren was about to speak up when Edgar halted him with a look. Realizing it was the latter’s plan, Warren immediately held his tongue.
“Jared, it’s time to make you pay for cutting off one of my arms!” Kristoff bellowed. “I know you have Mr. Sanders backing you, but he only said not to kill you. That means crippling you is still an option! I’m going to break your limbs and make sure you can never move again!”
With that, his murderous aura intensified, and it was clear from his cultivation level that he was one of the best Martial Arts Grandmasters of his age.
“If you spit out the draconic essence now, I promise not to make things difficult for you, Jared. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’m going to have to disembowel you.” Kenneth scoffed.
“Kristoff, Kenneth, if you dare lay a finger on Jared, I’ll end your lives!” Colin shouted as he stepped in front to protect Jared.
Even the two other Martial Arts Grandmasters from Shadow Estate had also drawn their weapons to prepare for a fight.
“F*ck you, Colin! Why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Who do you think you are to make such bold threats? Since you have a death wish, I shall grant you that now!” Kenneth thundered before throwing out a powerful punch.
His body radiated with an aura befitting of an Eighth Level Senior Grandmaster, and his punch, without a doubt, would crush Colin to a bloody pulp.
Although Colin was startled, he bravely stood his ground to shield Jared. The Shadow Estate Martial Arts Grandmasters, too, immediately charged at Kenneth to protect Colin.
However, Kenneth remained unfazed. When the Shadow Estate Martial Arts Grandmasters launched their attack, two from the Thunderstorm Sect had also swiftly jumped into action.
Soon, a showdown began between the Shadow Estate and Thunderstorm Sect.
Just as the punch was about to land on Colin, a burst of martial energy suddenly shot out from behind him. The next second, Jared appeared in front of Kenneth.
Kenneth gasped, but before he could do anything more, Jared gave him a tight slap across his face.
To everyone’s horror, Kenneth spun a few rounds in the air before dropping heavily to the ground with blood spewing from his mouth.
