Chapter 1322 Pointless Deaths
Zion observed their responses in silence before shifting his gaze toward Ryker. “What do you make of this, Mr. Deragon? If I recall, your family has its fair share of problems with Jared as well. You must’ve looked him up before, right?” he asked all of a sudden.
“Jared has undergone a sudden and rapid increase in power, President Zeigler. Have you ever considered the possibility that Jared might not be the same person he used to be? This file you gave us contains information on Jared’s past, but it’s highly possible that he is now a completely different person,” Ryker said mysteriously.
Everyone froze in shock and confusion after hearing what he said. Zion’s brows furrowed imperceptibly. Ryker felt relieved when he saw their responses.
Of course, he knew exactly what had happened to Jared. However, he couldn’t let anyone else know about it as it was his family’s secret.
He was planning on using that secret to dominate Jadeborough’s martial arts world.
“Mr. Deragon, are you implying that Jared has been possessed by an evil spirit of some sort? Is the Jared we see now just a vessel for said spirit?” someone asked in confusion.
“That’s impossible. If Jared really has been possessed by an evil spirit, Mr. Sanders would’ve noticed something after coming into contact with him so many times,” Zion objected immediately.
“But Jared seems to be capable of Demonic Cultivation as well. He can absorb the energy of others, so it is possible that he has been possessed by an evil spirit,” someone protested.
“All right, enough of this topic. I will find a way to confirm if Jared is possessed or not. I summoned you guys today to discuss how we can kill him as soon as possible. It’s only a matter of time before Jared poses a huge threat to our martial arts world,” Zion reminded them.
“Didn’t you send assassins after Jared, President Zeigler? What happened? Have they failed to kill him?” Ryker asked.
Zion’s face filled with rage when he heard that. He hadn’t expected the zombie puppets to be utter garbage.
“Let’s not talk about that. Anyway, there will be a generous reward for the person who manages to kill Jared. I will give out half of the resources for next year’s Trial!”
Zion knew it would burn a hole in his pocket, but he had no other choice as he was running out of time.
Offering a huge reward like this was the only way to motivate these people.
Sure enough, everyone started brainstorming immediately after hearing about the reward.
Ryker was the only one who kept quiet and remained calm the entire time.
Zion then gave them a couple more instructions before ending the meeting. He whispered into the ear of a Warriors Alliance member after they had all left.
That member headed out to perform his duties and soon returned with a man and a woman. Both of them looked pale and had icy-cold expressions on their faces.
The man was dressed sharply in a thin suit, whereas the woman had on a tight leather outfit with her hair covering half her face.
Zion motioned at his subordinate to leave the room before standing up to greet the two, “Please, have a seat—”
“You may skip the pleasantries, President Zeigler. Just tell us what you need us to do. We will obey your instructions as long as you have that token with you,” the man cut him off.
“Very well, then. In that case, I order you two to locate Jared and find out if he is possessed by an evil spirit. In the event that he is, I’d also like you two to eradicate that evil spirit if possible,” Zion said.
“Given our capabilities, we are unable to take Jared on in combat. Therefore, we will not be able to eradicate any evil spirits that may be possessing him. We will obey your orders as long as you have that token with you, but that doesn’t mean you get to send us to a pointless death like that,” said the woman.
