Chapter 768 Prepare For Death
“I really have a lot of things to deal with, and I have no plans for taking up the role as Martial Alliance’s leader. I’d rather spend more of my energy on cultivating,” Jared answered plainly.
Hearing his reply, Samuel did not continue persuading him. In the end, it was Jared’s decision whether he wanted to become the leader. No one could force him into it.
“Mr. Chance, I came here not only to congratulate you, but I also have something to tell you. Sean has gone looking for Sylvester, his second brother, to avenge Xander. Sylvester has been training with the main Cooper family a few years ago. Rumor has it that he could even enter the ancestral hall. That means that he’s quite skilled,” Samuel whispered.
“It’s all right. Whatever will be, will be.” Jared smiled, not at all bothered by the news.
After all, there was no avoiding it. Since he had bad blood with the Cooper family, then he had to deal with them, eventually.
After seeing Jared’s unconcerned attitude, Samuel thought it was pointless to continue saying anything else. Hence, he merely said, “Mr. Chance, I’ll send someone to inform you about the Cooper family’s plans right away if they are related to you in the future.”
“Thank you, Mr. Bailey.” Jared nodded in courtesy.
Spencer glanced at the clock and urged Jared, “Mr. Chance, it’s almost time. Look.”
Hearing that, Jared looked down at his watch. He then got to his feet to face the crowd that came from both states and said, “Thank you for your graciousness. However, I have to admit that I’m inexperienced, and I am not qualified to become the leader of the Martial Alliance. Please look for someone else.”
The crowd was stunned, unable to believe how Jared rejected the position without hesitation. To them, the position of Martial Alliance’s leader was a position that everyone in the martial arts world admired. Yet, not everyone was qualified for it.
They never expected Jared to reject such a great opportunity.
“Mr. Chance, this involves both Jazona and Nuthana. If you’re not qualified to become the leader, then no one else is.”
“Exactly. We only recognize you as our leader. You’ve managed to kill a Martial Arts Grandmaster at such a young age. It shows that you have extraordinary talents.”
“Mr. Chance, please don’t reject the position. We have high hopes for you to bring Jazona and Nuthana to achieve greater things under your guidance.”
Every professional martial artist started voicing out, hoping to make Jared change his mind.
Truth was, their reason for choosing Jared was also for their own benefit. After all, if Jazona and Nuthana formed a Martial Alliance under Jared’s name and made the latter their leader, then the resources that were supporting him would indirectly support the two states.
For example the Baileys of Jadeborough. If Jared became their leader, the Baileys would definitely support the Martial Alliance of the two states.
“Everyone, I really don’t have the time to become the leader. Please look for another candidate. However, if the Martial Alliance gets into trouble one day, I, as a citizen of Horington, will do everything in my power to help.” With that, he bid his farewells. He was not going to become Martial Alliance’s leader no matter what, as it took up too much energy and time.
Moreover, Jared was an energy cultivator, who had different cultivation paths and directions compared to those in the martial arts world.
As soon as he finished his sentence, a furious voice traveled from the outside.
“Who the hell is Jared Chance? I want to kill him now!” The yell was like roaring thunder that it felt as though it shook the entire building. Even the crowd almost became deaf.
Jared knitted his brows. Based on the person’s yell, he could sense that person had powerful abilities, which was at least a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
“Da*n it. Who’s that yelling about Mr. Chance out there?” someone muttered, getting to his feet and walking out of the room.
The others followed suit. After all, anyone who came to the office and acted rudely toward Jared was equivalent to disrespecting the Martial Alliance that was recently established.
As soon as the crowd exited the room, they saw a few people standing outside. The leader of the group was a middle-aged man who had a murderous gaze. At the same time, standing beside him was a youngster that was covered in blood.
