Chapter 1158 Secret Identity
“What if I tell you that this is an order? Are you going to disobey still?”
Zion stood up gradually, his eyes filled with a haunting chill.
“An order?” Quintus smirked. “I’m not a member of the Warriors Alliance, and this makes you unqualified to order me.”
“Unqualified?”
Zion returned him with a grin before slowly pulling out a token and placing it right in front of Quintus.
As soon as Quintus saw the token, the shock he received had him stunned on the spot and left his eyes wide open.
“T-This is…”
Quintus’ jaw dropped to the ground, and when he wanted to say something, he was interrupted by a gesture from Zion.
“Look at how secretive the Malison Sect’s location is. Aren’t you curious as to how I managed to locate you effortlessly? Think again.”
Zion was proud and arrogant as he continued, “Now, will you follow my orders?”
“Yes, sir.” Though he had yet to recover from the shock, Quintus still lowered his head and heeded Zion’s order.
“Excellent. Here’s the information about the person I need you to assassinate. Whatever you do, whatever the result is, don’t you ever mention my name. Now, act as if I’ve never been here. Do you understand?”
Zion whipped out an envelope from his pocket and hurled it onto the table.
“Understood!” Quintus replied humbly and politely.
After Zion’s departure, Quintus picked up the envelope that contained a photo of Jared!
Quintus merely glanced at it a couple of times before keeping the envelope away. As he did so, he had yet to recover from the shock caused by the unexpected revelation.
After all, no sane person would suspect that the president of Warriors Alliance had another secret identity.
The martial arts forum was flooded with posts looking for Jared’s whereabouts.
The rewards were increasing with every new post. There were even some that were trading pills and resources for Jared’s whereabouts.
In just an instant, the majority of people in the martial arts world were trying to track Jared down.
Aside from that, there were even some innate martial artists and the likes of Grandmasters looking for him.
Jared had become extremely popular in the martial arts world.
At the same time, in the Dunn residence in Jadeborough, the head of the Dunn family, Lachlan Dunn sat in a chair in the middle of the hall while Howard stood beside him.
“Howard, I heard that you’re on quite good terms with Jared. Do you know anything about his whereabouts?” Lachlan asked.
“Dad, what do you want from him? Are you coveting the magical items of his, just like the others?” Howard asked.
“You fool! The Dunn family has all kinds of magical items. Do you think I’m a person who would do such a despicable thing?”
Lachlan’s expression turned cold after he heard Howard’s words, intimidating Howard so much that he was trembling.
“I’m just very fond of him that I wish to meet him. This man is a very talented man.”
As he said, envious flickered in his eyes. “If you are half as talented as Jared, then the Dunn family would have a bright future!”
“Dad, I’m already trying my best!” Howard rolled his eyes before he continue saying, “But to be frank, I’ve no idea where Jared is right now. I can try asking around, but he’s probably hiding somewhere now that so many people are looking for him.”
“All right. Just try your best. If you manage to locate him, you can take him back home. I reckon that there wouldn’t be anyone who would be brave enough to invade the Dunn residence to take him,” Lachlan said calmly.
“All right, I’ll go look around for him!” Howard nodded before exiting the hall.
Right after Howard left, the butler, who had been standing beside Lachlan all the while, immediately approached him and whispered something to him.
Whatever the butler said had Lachlan’s expression changed slightly. “So it seems like the news is spread by that young man from the Norton family.”
“Yes. Though Skylar used a fake name, I still managed to find out the truth. I’ve also learned that he is injured, and the injuries are probably caused by Jared. It appears that the Norton family is well aware of the secrets of Jared’s draconic essence.”
The butler continued, “I’ve also found out that Jared, Skylar, and the Baron of the Northwest, Karl Gardner, had been to Dragon Island. With the Gardner family now in ruins and Karl dead, I’m sure that Skylar revealed this secret to the world because he could not outmatch Jared.
His motive is to make Jared a common enemy. By diverting everyone’s attention to Jared, Skylar would have a higher chance to take Jared down.”
