Chapter 1254 Refuge
When Desmond saw Jared had arrived, he stood up. “Hello, Mr. Chance! I’m here on behalf of Lord Frey to invite you to Divine Beast Sect. You see, Lord Frey has heard of your good name, and he’s very interested in meeting you!”
“He wants to meet me? This isn’t a scheme, is it? I killed your leader’s godson. Doesn’t he want revenge?” Jared asked cautiously.
As the saying went, there was always a reason behind a person’s flattery.
He had nothing to do with Divine Beast Sect. Additionally, he killed Richard’s godson, yet he was invited to meet him.
Anyone could tell that there was something fishy…
“Haha, you’re quite the joker, Mr. Chance. Peyton is just one of Lord Frey’s many godsons. Why would Lord Frey care? He has more than a dozen of them around so Peyton isn’t that important.” Desmond smiled.
When Jared heard that, he suddenly realized Peyton meant nothing to Richard at all, even though Peyton was using his godfather’s name to do whatever he wanted.
Seeing how Desmond didn’t appear to be a devious person, Jared nodded. “Fine. I’ll meet with your leader!”
After exchanging a few words with Cecilia, he headed to Divine Beast Sect with Desmond.
It was a two-hour drive from Crimson Palace to Divine Beast Sect.
When they arrived at Divine Beast Sect, Jared learned the true meaning of luxury.
The sect was full of mansions with traditional designs. The environment was exceedingly pleasant, as though it was a tourist resort.
Desmond brought him to one of the mansions. When they entered the building, they could see a giant seat with tiger skin on it.
Richard, the leader of Divine Beast Sect, was sitting on that seat. There were a couple of Martial Arts Grandmasters standing around him.
“I’ve brought Mr. Chance with me, Lord Frey,” Desmond informed.
Richard stared at Jared while shooting out bright light with his eyes. An oppressive aura promptly exploded from his body.
Jared frowned. In an instant, golden light was seen shining on his body as he tried to resist the aura.
His expression darkened because he didn’t expect Richard to attack the moment they met. Seems like this is a trap, after all.
Just as he was about to unleash Golem Body to prepare for a fight, Richard withdrew the oppressive aura seeping out of his body.
“You’re truly a hero amongst the youth. No wonder you managed to cause such a mess in Jadeborough’s martial arts world at such a young age.” Richard laughed with narrowed eyes.
“Why were you looking for me, Lord Frey?” Jared found a spot and sat down.
“I admire your strength and wanted to meet you. That’s all.” Richard stood from his chair.
He then approached Jared and sat next to him. “I want to know how you turn the martial arts world in Jadeborough upside down and escape the city with only the strength of a Semi Martial Arts Marquis.”
It confused him that Jared was such a famous person in Jadeborough’s martial arts world with only that level of strength when that shouldn’t have happened.
If those people wanted to kill Jared, they could’ve done so easily, yet Jared was still alive and well.
“If you invite me here just to ask me that kind of question, I’m afraid I’ll be leaving right away.” Jared stood, intending to leave.
“It seems like you’re quite an impatient youngster. Didn’t you come here from Jadeborough in order to seek refuge? I know many people in Jadeborough’s martial arts world want to kill you. If you stay in Divine Beast Sect, I can guarantee your safety. Not only that, I’ll take you in as my godson. When that happens, no one here will dare to be your enemy. Even the people from Jadeborough will have to show me respect.” Arrogance filled Richard’s tone.
The moment Jared heard Richard wanted to take him in as a godson, he laughed.
Sure, he was only a Semi Martial Arts Marquis, but it wasn’t hard for him to take on Richard.
