Chapter 996 Revenge
“Did something happen, Mr. Chance? Did you get chased out of the Trial?” asked Theodore anxiously.
Upon noticing how quickly Jared returned, Theodore thought that Warren had found an excuse to chase him back.
“No, the Trial has ended.” Jared shook his head.
“Ended?” Theodore was stunned. “So quickly?”
After taking a sip of water, Jared told Theodore what happened in the ancient tomb. As he listened, Theodore widened his eyes and his mouth fell agape.
“Mr. Chance, you… you beat Mr. Gordon up?” asked Theodore in utter astonishment.
“It’s so obvious that Warren’s biased toward the Deragons. He even tried to snatch away what was rightfully mine! Of course I have to beat him up,” explained Jared matter-of-factly.
“Oh no! This is bad! I’m going to have to talk to Mr. Sanders about this. Those people from the Warriors Alliance are all very petty. Now that you’ve beaten Warren up, he’ll definitely not let this slide so easily.”
Beyond anxious, Theodore rushed off to inform Mr. Sanders at once.
The Department of Justice alone would not be able to protect Jared now. Mr. Sanders would have to speak up.
Looking at how concerned Theodore was for him, Jared felt a bit touched.
While Theodore rushed back, Jared went to his bedroom to rest. He was completely unbothered about beating Warren and Edgar up.
Meanwhile, in the Deragon residence, Ryker stared at Edgar’s battered face, his heart aching for his son.
“Is this how you protected my son?” roared Ryker as he glared at Godrick and the two other Martial Arts Grandmasters from the Deragons.
“Mr. Deragon, we lost all our martial energy and couldn’t fight Jared at all. For some reason, the arcane array was ineffective against him. His powers were not constrained,” explained Godrick as he trembled.
A solemn look crept into Ryker’s eyes. “Looks like Jared inherited his father’s bloodline. Otherwise, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“Dad, what kind of person is Jared? And who is his father?” Edgar asked Ryker.
“Edgar, you should recover first. There are some things that you’ll naturally understand after some time. After I discover Jared’s secret, the Deragons will become the top family in Jadeborough and you’ll also become the most outstanding young man in your generation.”
Ryker patted Edgar’s shoulder gently.
Nodding, Edgar turned around and went to rest. Meanwhile, Ryker ordered Godrick, “You can leave now. Don’t tell anyone about what happened today.”
Ryker could not risk the embarrassment. It was simply too humiliating to tell others that his son had been beaten up so badly that he almost became disfigured. Regardless, even if the Deragons did not say anything, there were so many other major families present at that time. It was probably impossible to conceal it.
After Godrick left, Ryker went to the backyard and flipped a switch. Then, he walked forward slowly.
Beatrice had been imprisoned in the dark dungeon for over twenty years. All of her martial powers had been sealed, so she could not even escape such a simple prison.
When she saw Ryker approaching her, she turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
Although they were biological siblings, their relationship had long since fractured.
“My dear sister, I didn’t expect you to give birth to such an exceptional son. He even beat Edgar up! I’m here to tell you that you’ll soon be able to meet that son of yours. If you’re still adamant about keeping your silence, I’ll send both of you to hell.”
With that, he grabbed a whip from the wall and sent it flying down onto Beatrice’s body.
Gritting her teeth, Beatrice made no sound. She had already suffered numerous vicious beatings over the past years.
The more Beatrice acted like that, the harsher Ryker beat her, venting all his fury from Jared injuring Edgar. At that moment, he did not even see her as his own sister.
Were it not for the fact that Beatrice knew a secret he yearned to discover, he would have killed her already.
