Chapter 989 Why Should I
Howard’s words prompted Warren and the others to turn their attention to him. All of their eyes burned with fury upon hearing the man’s cheeky remark.
They were already frustrated because they had gone through quite a few traps to make it there. Howard’s diss only made them feel worse.
“Mr. Gordon.”
Edgar smiled the moment he saw Warren. With Warren on my side, I won’t need to worry about Jared and Howard.
“Mr. Edgar, I’m surprised you found your way here as well. Did you find any treasure on your way here?” asked Warren.
Warren and the others only encountered traps on their way. They never came across any treasure or magical items, so they were rather upset.
When Edgar heard that question, he immediately told Warren everything that had happened.
Warren’s eyes glowed with greed upon hearing about how Jared got his hands on a painting that could change its image.
“Jared, show me the painting you obtained.”
Warren walked over to Jared and spoke as though the latter was his slave.
“It’s mine, so why should I show it to you?” challenged Jared.
He was quick to turn Warren down.
Warren was taken aback. He didn’t expect Jared to blatantly go against him like that, and it infuriated him. “How dare you disobey my orders? I call the shots for this Trial, so don’t assume the painting is yours just because you got your hands on it. Anyone can claim it for themself. All we need to do is snatch it from you.”
As soon as Warren finished speaking, all the other participants of the Trial turned their attention to Jared and glared at him. They were ready to fight at any moment.
Too many had their eyes on Jared. It made it so that it would be difficult for even someone as powerful as him to deal with all of them.
“You are the director of the Warriors Alliance. Yet, you’re butting in on the Trial and are being unfair and unreasonable. Someone like you has no right to boss me around. I mean, seriously. Who the f*ck do you think you are?”
Jared had long known that Edgar and Warren were on the same side and were going against him.
Warren couldn’t believe that someone actually insulted him to his face, and everyone else stared in shock. Howard was the only one who laughed aloud at that. “That is so cool, Jared. But you’re right. You don’t need to listen to these old farts.”
“Mr. Edgar, snatch that painting, and it will be yours,” informed Warren. He was so incensed that he cracked his knuckles as his eyes burned with rage.
Edgar was a little troubled to hear that. “Mr. Gordon, the problem here is Howard. He…”
“Don’t worry. I will crush anyone who dares to help Jared.”
After saying that, Warren’s body immediately flushed out a terrifying aura that engulfed everyone.
Howard’s expression changed. That scary aura of Warren’s truly discouraged him from helping Jared again. He was aware that even with the combined strength of him and his two subordinates, he still wasn’t a match against Warren.
Edgar was delighted to hear what Warren said. “In that case, Mr. Gordon, please allow me to teach that punk a lesson.”
A second later, Edgar flushed out all the auras in his body. Whatever humiliation he endured in the tomb from earlier, he was going to pay it back to Jared tenfold.
Edgar attacked right away.
Jared narrowed his eyes. He put the painting behind him, then thrust his palm out to retaliate against Edgar’s attack.
Boom!
A loud explosion later, Edgar staggered back several steps. Jared also had to fall back a few steps before he steadied himself.
Their clash had ended in a draw.
“Huh, so you’re not completely useless, after all. I guess I will have to go all out.”
Edgar raised his hand. Godrick, who was standing behind him, tossed him a magic sword right away.
Jared sensed an evil aura coming after him the second the sword left its scabbard.
He didn’t dare to be reckless. He put his hand up, and moments later, the Dragonslayer Sword materialized in his hand. With the sword aflame, he slashed the sword downward.
