Chapter 1002 Ruin The Painting
After hearing what Theodore said, Zion retracted his aura and gave Jared a cold stare. “Jared, I’ll let you off this time for Mr. Sanders’ sake, but you must hand over the painting you obtained from the ancient tomb.”
“Why should I give the painting to you since I found it? You want me to hand over the painting? Over my dead body!”
Jared would never give Zion the painting as he just knew how valuable the art piece was.
Zion responded with a cold snort. “Why should you keep the painting when you don’t even know how to appreciate it? You’re just going to ruin a piece of priceless treasure!”
He then added, “Give me the painting right now, and I’ll consider all the old scores settled. I know you’ve killed the two men from the Shalvis family and Thunderstorm Sect, and I can get you out of trouble.”
‘Dream on! I’ll never give you the painting. You’ll have to kill me and pry it from my cold, dead fingers!” Jared looked up at Zion with a scowl and smirked.
It’s clear that this man came for the painting.
Zion’s face blanched at Jared’s words. He gritted his teeth and threatened, “Don’t try me, Jared Chance.”
Once again, he began emanating an aura to threaten Jared.
“Hold on.” Theodore stepped in. “I guess I should inform Mr. Sanders first before you launch any attack in the Department of Justice.”
He then took out his phone and was ready to make a call.
Zion shot daggers at Theodore before he huffed in frustration, “You’d better watch your back!”
With an expression filled with fury, he turned and stormed away.
Theodore heaved a sigh of relief when Zion left, his back already drenched in cold sweat.
He would have freaked out had Zion initiated an attack on Jared as he did not actually have Mr. Sanders’ phone number.
“Mr. Chance, I think you should leave Jadeborough for the time being. You wouldn’t want to mess with those guys from the Warriors Alliance. Although Mr. Sanders has your back, these ruthless rogues might resort to dirty tricks to take you down.”
Theodore could foresee that Jared would be in great danger should he stay in Jadeborough.
“That’s exactly what I have in mind. I plan to leave Jadeborough and focus on my cultivation,” Jared said.
He had put his cultivation on hold for quite some time. Now that he had obtained Thousands of Miles Away, he would have access to a rich supply of spiritual energy. I must take this opportunity to proceed with my cultivation. I would be able to rescue my mother from the Deragons if I make good progress.
“All right, let’s not wait any longer. I’ll get someone to take you out of the city. With people from the Department of Justice by your side, those rogues wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on you.”
While Theodore was arranging for someone to take Jared, Josephine, and the others out of Jadeborough, one of the members from the Shadow Estate ran into the Department of Justice.
Covered in blood, the man exclaimed, “Mr. Chance! Mr. Chance!”
Jared heard his voice and dashed out of the living hall. Upon noticing the severely wounded man, Jared knitted his brows. “What happened?”
“Mr. Chance, people from the Thunderstorm Sect and the Shalvis family have intruded the Shadow Estate and wiped out most of our men. We can’t hold it any longer…”
The man passed out after finishing his sentence.
A murderous vortex swirled inside Jared. He turned to Theodore and said, “General Jackson, please take care of him.”
He then made a beeline toward Shadow Estate.
Before Theodore could react to his request, Jared had already vanished before his eyes.
After asking his subordinates to look after the injured man, he went to look for Josephine and Lizbeth.
