Chapter 1105 Trouble
“What? Even the Deragons can’t ask Medicine God Sect to help out?” Derrell asked when he saw Ryker’s frown.
Ryker sighed and informed with resignation, “To tell you the truth, Master Derrell, Medicine God Sect had never rejected our request before. However, this time is different. I don’t know what happened between Medicine God Sect and Jared, but they have decided to side with him! So, even if I send people to ask them to come and help out, it’ll only be a waste of time.”
“Seriously?” Derrell furrowed his eyebrows and then said, “In that case, I’ll personally visit them. No matter what happened between Jared and Medicine God Sect, I believe they’ll still show me some respect.”
“Thank you so much, Master Derrell. There’s no way Medicine God Sect won’t show you any respect if you show up…” Ryker was grateful.
Derrell exchanged a few more words with Edgar before leaving.
Ryker turned to Godrick and asked, “Have the assassins hired by the Watanabe family entered the city?”
Godrick nodded. “Yes, they’re all in Jadeborough right now. The Department of Justice had been searching for them for the past two days. Apparently, Mr. Sanders was very angry and was secretly investigating who sent the assassins.”
“Hmph! There’s no need for that. I bet Warriors Alliance smuggled them in. Zion does want Jared dead, after all,” Ryker scoffed.
“Although, there have been rumors that the Deragons are secretly in cahoots with the Watanabe family to sneak the assassins in, Mr. Deragon. They say those assassins are here to kill Jared to avenge Mr. Edgar…”
“Ridiculous!” Ryker roared. “If I want to kill Jared, I don’t need to use the Watanabe family’s assassins at all! Our family has plenty of contact with people like that. Only Zion and the others would do such a thing for their sh*tty reputation.”
Despite what he was saying, he was still worried about the rumors spreading because they would attract unwanted attention to his family.
He was aware of the severity of the situation. If people somehow found evidence linking their family to that mess, their family would be in a lot of trouble.
“Help me announce in the martial arts forum that the Deragons severely condemn the rumors that suggest we’re working with Jetroina’s assassins. Also, send people to find out where Jared is. Once you learn where he’s located, leak out his location to everyone,” Ryker ordered.
Of course, if Jetroina’s assassins could kill Jared, then he wouldn’t need to do it himself. As for the guardians he sent to kill Jared, they had gone radio silent since then. It was likely they had been killed by Jared.
“Understood!” Godrick nodded.
“Grab me my whip,” Ryker ordered.
Godrick nodded. When Ryker asked for his whip, it meant he was going to vent his anger out on Beatrice.
Jared was Beatrice’s son. Since Jared had beaten Edgar to a pulp, Ryker could only take his anger out on his sister.
Godrick promptly grabbed the whip and followed Ryker into the Deragon residence’s dungeon.
Beatrice sat blankly inside the dark dungeon. If she hadn’t heard about Jared and knew that he was still alive, it was likely she wouldn’t have been still alive.
She didn’t want to die before meeting her son.
It was also why Draco took the risk to tell Beatrice about Jared back then because he wanted her to endure the pain and survive.
She believed as long as she kept on living, there would be hope that she could meet her son.
After the dungeon’s door was opened, Ryker walked in slowly. Godrick followed behind with the whip in his hand. He didn’t have the guts to look at Beatrice.
Very few people knew Beatrice was kept inside the dungeon. Godrick was the only person in the younger generation of the Deragons to know about it. Even Edgar didn’t know his aunt was kept inside the dungeon.
