With that said, Jared marched away with his entourage in tow.
Burning with anger, Jared ordered, “Contact Triple Group immediately! Tell them I’ve agreed to their request and have their boss discuss the terms and conditions with me!”
He was now even more determined to do something earth-shattering to show Zoey and everyone else.
He was going to prove to everyone that he wasn’t just a nerd. He wanted them to witness his rise to power and to see him eventually becoming the ruler of the world.
The only way he could do that was to sell his weapons to Triple Group and prepare for a battle with Erudia.
His name would then be on a global stage, feared and respected by all.
Very soon, Jared had established contact with Triple Group.
The allied army had requested for all senior management to gather for the meeting, Bruce included.
Jared listed many terms and conditions, even going to the extent of saying he wanted to rule Erudia.
He was deadset on letting Zoey see what he was truly capable of.
True to their words, the allied army agreed to all his terms.
Things moved fast from then onward, with the weapons being secretly shipped out of Deity Lab overnight.
The entire Deity Lab had also left Erudia, and with the additional funds and resources, they were able to start mass-producing the superweapon.
Jared, too, had made his silent departure from Erudia.
“He’s insane! He’s totally insane!” Zoey shrieked.
Levi couldn’t help but wonder why Jared had gotten that terrifying and if he was hatching any devious plans.
“Floyd, I need you to investigate Jared,” he ordered, determined to get to the bottom of things.
Alas, Jared was cunning enough to have covered his tracks well.
Just like what was in the report, Jared’s company specialized in biotechnology and genetic engineering, and thus there was nothing unusual.
All that only made things even more inexplicable for Levi. “That’s odd. How can an ordinary man like him have so much power? He even has Supreme class warriors at his beck and call! That can only mean he has something that the warriors can’t refuse.”
Left with no other choice, Levi could only let Floyd continue with the investigation.
With the addition of Jared and his Deity Lab, the allied army had grown exponentially in strength.
They officially named themselves the Ruling Union, with four Rulers at the helm.
Even though they accelerated the establishment of the Ruling Union, the identities of the rulers remained a secret.
Soon after, the Ruling Union contacted all Supreme class warriors and forces in Erudia and its surrounding areas.
The first in Erudia to be approached by them was the Townsend clan.
With the Ruling Union making their intentions known, the Townsend clan immediately agreed to it.
After all, they didn’t care for their country.
All they wanted was to exact revenge.
The next group of forces to be approached by the Ruling Union was the various criminals in Erudia.
They were one of the most despised groups of people in Erudia. Martial artists, especially, regarded them as the scum of society.
Therefore, when Ruling Union approached them, they had no reason to turn the invitation down.
Whether it was for mutual benefits or to quell the longstanding enmity, the criminals were understandably excited at the prospect of bringing down Erudia.
Soon, many others had also joined the Ruling Union. They included the Sword Sect, Tiger Palace, and Icefire Palace, which all happened to be led by Rank Six Supreme class warriors.
It didn’t take long before Blood Palace, Crescent Moon Clan, and even Yellow Springs Palace followed in their footsteps.
One after another, more and more criminals agreed to join the Ruling Union, many of which also had Rank Six Supreme class warriors at their helm.
The more they recruited, the stronger the Ruling Union became.
The power they had amassed was far more than what they had initially predicted.
And the numbers only continued to grow.
When it was finally time for the fight, just the criminals from Erudia alone would be more than enough to make Erudia suffer.
What came as an even bigger surprise was when a group of mysterious forces took the initiative to ask to join the allied army.
They claimed to be the forces behind the Northern Demon—that had been expelled by Erudia.
