Chapter 1061 Embarrassment
Since Edgar had already arrived, people were looking forward to the commencement of the fight. “Where is Jared? He’s just a small fry, yet he’s behaving haughtily. How dare he make us wait for him!”
“Maybe he chickened out at the last minute?”
“I bet he did.”
The masses started guessing if Jared did not have the stomach for the confrontation.
Listening to those insulting remarks, Colin scolded, “Shut your trap! Of course, Jared’s coming!”
Ever since the Shadow Estate acquired the Shalvis family and the Thunderstorm Sect, their influence had grown stronger. Thus, when the crowd realized that what they said had offended Colin, all of them quickly shut up.
“Jared’s here!” someone exploded in excitement.
Right then, Jared and Theodore walked into the venue.
Many martial artists directed their spiritual senses toward Jared, trying to gauge his ability.
Jared disregarded them and walked calmly in without trying to hide his aura.
“He, too, has gotten stronger!”
Ryker was the first to notice that once Jared arrived. His face fell upon the realization.
“I told you not to underestimate Jared, who has encountered some miraculous events. Don’t think that your son is the only one who has gotten stronger,” Warren remarked deridingly.
He was still affronted by how Ryker had treated him earlier, but the latter was not bothered by that comment.
Instead, Ryker turned toward his son. “Edgar, do you think you can take him down?”
“Don’t worry, Dad. It doesn’t matter how strong he is. I’ve got our family’s sacred item. I will triumph over him,” the young man reassured.
“True that,” Ryker answered, nodding firmly.
Edgar narrowed his eyes as he directed his gaze at Jared. A murderous intent rose in his heart as he eyed Jared.
What happened at the Trial was still fresh in Edgar’s memory. He could not forget how he had been humiliated previously.
Jared felt the enmity from his opponent, but to him, that did not matter at all. Instead, he turned and looked at Warren.
Warren was the person Jared was after, for the former was the one who had kidnapped Josephine. I will make you pay, Warren Gordon.
Sensing his hostility, Warren smiled smugly and walked up to Jared.
“What’s with that stare? Consider yourself warned, young man. You’re not leaving this place alive.”
Warren had yet gotten over the humiliation he had suffered at the Trial. He had been wanting to punish Jared for what had happened.
When the others heard Warren’s warning, those from the Bailey family, the Shadow Estate, the Medicine God Sect, and the Dunn family moved up behind Jared.
Warren’s face paled the moment he saw the group.
Warren narrowed his eyes and hissed, “Jared Chance, do you think this is enough to quash the Warriors Alliance? Dream on!”
Jared was emanating a murderous aura as he replied, “The Warriors Alliance is nothing to me. You guys are all despicable men. I’ve never once considered any of you my worthy opponent. It only tarnishes my reputation to fight you all.”
Although Jared did not raise his voice, his words were loud enough for everyone to hear him.
Although everyone present knew this was not the first time Jared challenged the authority of the alliance, they were still shocked when he made such a bitter statement publicly.
When Zion heard Jared’s words, an ugly scowl spread across his face, and he vowed to kill Jared that day.
“What did you say?” Warren questioned.
Jared’s remarks infuriated him, causing him to emanate a lethal aura, but before it could even reach Jared, a burst of aggressive aura surged in the air, blocking Warren’s.
Howard interrupted, “Mr. Gordon, are you sure you want to fight Jared right here and now? Are you afraid that Edgar won’t be able to defeat him and so you are testing his abilities?”
Howard looked disdainfully at Warren as he posed his questions.
