It was finally the day for him to rise to the throne and make a name for himself for his outstanding contribution.
Jared stared ahead and thought it was considered an amazing feat since he was merely a nobody just some time ago.
No one will consider me a geek from today onwards! No one is going to make fun of me anymore! I have successfully defeated my peers in terms of achievement!
Jared’s loyal followers, including Henry and Logan, were equally thrilled as they thought they would be deemed honorable members of the nation soon.
It was only a matter of time until they got their hands on unlimited wealth and fame.
“I can’t wait for the bright future ahead of us! We’re no longer good-for-nothing anymore!”
“Ha! There’s no way I’m making my way back to Erudia when the nation has nothing to offer!”
Thrilled by the things awaiting them, Shaun and his peers shared their thoughts with one another.
Bruce finally returned to his senses since it was time for the ceremony. “We’ll just carry on with the ceremony and decide on the next best course of action once everything’s over.”
The ceremony commenced with the officiation of agreements between the officials of Zarain and Jared.
As Jared would soon be the king of another nation, the session had garnered the attention of people from all around the globe.
As much as they might be irked, Erudians couldn’t do anything to stop Jared.
Soon, the news of Byron being abducted made it to the headlines and garnered others’ attention.
Although the source of the news couldn’t be verified, the news had taken the globe by storm.
In short, most people had their attention on the issue and wondered if the officials of Erudia had lost their mind to pick on Zarain.
Meanwhile, the officials of Erudia, including the higher-ups of Dragonites, were equally confused since they weren’t aware of the intruder’s identity.
They had no choice but to wait until the moment of truth in order to figure out the identity of the intruder.
It was the talk of the town since the news of the officials searching high and low for Byron had been reported as well.
It was then Bruce’s subordinate received a text and yelled, “We have found them!”
Similarly, the public had their eyes on Lake City of Zarain while Jared proceeded with his coronation ceremony.
Out of nowhere, Bruce’s subordinate approached him and whispered, “Sir, we have found your brother and the intruder!”
As a result of the news, Bruce almost sprang up from his seat. He asked, “Where are they?”
“They’re within close proximity from our current location! We have searched every city apart from Lake City! It turns out they have been hiding at Lake City!”
“What?”
Bruce was horrified by a seemingly absurd thought he had in mind and wondered if the intruder would come after them soon.
As he brought himself up and brought the coronation ceremony to an abrupt halt, the guests looked at him with the same confused look on their faces.
Startled, Jared asked, “Mr. Johnston, what are you doing?”
“I’m afraid someone’s coming after us! Hurry up and wrap up the ceremony as soon as possible!” Bruce urged.
Irked by Bruce’s advice, Jared asked, “What do you mean I’m supposed to hurry up? Who are you talking about? I can’t think of anyone capable of threatening Zarain! I’m going to—”
Bam!
A figure showed up out of nowhere and landed on top of the battleship as if he had launched himself in their direction.
The impactful landing had crushed the battleship’s deck and caused the entire battleship to shake vigorously.
Thus, the ceremony was brought to an abrupt halt before Jared could finish his sarcastic remarks.
Once again, all hell broke loose on the battleship.
