Chapter 1188 Not Interested
Coby’s men also joined in the fray.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
Although Skylar’s men had the power in numbers, Coby was strong as he swung his radiant fists.
At that moment, it was undecided who would emerge victorious.
Looking at the situation before him, Jared turned around and fled without any hesitation.
Whoever would end up as the victor between Skylar and Coby had nothing to do with him.
Jared escaped to the Medicine God Sect in a jiffy!
Rayleigh, Axton, and the others were shocked to see Jared in his pitiful state.
“Jared, what happened to you? Are you injured?”
It had been nearly a month since Lizbeth last saw Jared. Now that she saw Jared in such a battered condition, she was in anguish.
“I’m fine. I’m just tired!” Jared smiled and said.
Axton hurriedly brought some condensed energy pills and medicine to treat Jared’s injuries.
“Jared, is the killing of Warren and the matter regarding Quintus from Malison Sect true?” Rayleigh asked Jared.
After all, those incidents happened after Jared left the Medicine God Sect. Although the news shared on the forum was similar, they were all earth-shattering.
Therefore, Rayleigh wanted to confirm them with Jared.
“It’s true!” Jared nodded.
After hearing it from Jared in person, Rayleigh began to worry.
After applying the medication, Rayleigh dismissed everyone from the room, leaving only him and Jared.
Jared looked at Rayleigh’s worried face and said, “Mr. Deragon, you don’t have to worry about me. With the strength I have now, no one can pose a threat to me apart from those heads of the martial arts families.”
After hearing that, Rayleigh shook his head. “Jared, you still underestimate the strength of the martial arts families, especially the Warriors Alliance.
“You’ve killed Warren and became the Warriors Alliance’s sworn enemy. Zion will never let you go.
“Then, there’s the Deragons. I know Ryker well enough. Although the Deragons had not taken any action against you recently, it doesn’t mean that Ryker had let you off the hook.
“You’ve been highly notorious recently. Even Jace Cox has already spoken on the martial arts forum that he wanted to challenge you on New Year’s Day!
“It will be difficult for you to cultivate peacefully in the future.”
Jared was befuddled after hearing Rayleigh’s words.
“Mr. Deragon, who’s Jace?”
Jared didn’t even know who Jace was and was confused why the latter wanted to challenge him all of a sudden.
“He’s number one on the Sage Leaderboard. After you killed Quintus from the Malison Sect, many people on the forum believed that your strength could rank you number one on the Sage Leaderboard. Therefore, Jace wants to compete with you,” Rayleigh explained.
“What is the Sage Leaderboard?” Jared realized that he didn’t know much about the martial arts world.
“It’s a ranking list filled with young martial artists who were voted for according to their strength. However, the officials feared that such a ranking list would cause unnecessary fights, so it was restricted. Even so, many youngsters are still paying close attention to this list today,” Rayleigh stated.
Jared smiled as soon as he heard. “I’m not interested in any of this. So I won’t compete with him. If he wants to challenge me, I’ll just have to decline.”
Jared didn’t care about fame and fortune. To him, it didn’t matter if he ranked first.
At this moment, all he wanted was to rescue his mother and Josephine, reunite the family, and live in peace.
“You don’t care, but others might not share the same sentiment. If you don’t accept Jace’s challenge, he will find ways to force you to fight him. You’re already famous now. It won’t be easy for you to return to a normal life,” Rayleigh expressed his concerns.
As for Jared, he was also aware that he had been in the limelight too much recently.
