A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1317

Chapter 1317 Obeying Orders

“Watch yourself, Zion,” the high-ranking members warned Zion coldly. “We won’t hesitate to instate a new leader for the Warriors Alliance if you can’t handle this matter.”

After speaking, they departed the Warriors Alliance in a flash. Gazing at the empty hall, Zion gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

“Looks like you must die, Jared.” A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he made the proclamation. Mr. Sanders had begun to live in the Department of Justice of late. This action of his informed Theodore that the martial arts world in Jadeborough was destined for troubled times ahead.

“Mr. Sanders, according to the reports by the various departments in Marsingfill, there has been a man in black absorbing the essence of martial artists throughout Marsingfill. Even the Martial Arts Grandmasters were not spared. Fear of this mysterious man currently governs the martial arts world in Marsingfill.”

As the captain of the Law Enforcement Department, Xavier wore a grim look as he reported the matter to Mr. Sanders.

Theodore, who was listening from the side, was tongue-tied by the news. The man in black must be formidable if even a warrior like Mr. Wembley had his essence absorbed.

“Have you managed to find out who is behind this?” Mr. Sanders asked Xavier.

The man shook his head. “No. This person’s techniques are completely different from that of the Demonic Cultivators of old. It has been many years since something like this happened in the martial arts world, and I can’t believe that there are still Demonic Cultivators who are this bold.”

Xavier was angry as the occurrence of such vile happenings reflected poorly on the Law Enforcement Department.

Mr. Sanders said nothing. Instead, he lapsed into silence and only spoke again after a long while. “Inform the Warriors Alliance at every location to be on higher alert. This incident will only increase in frequency in the coming days. What will come, will come.”

Theodore and Xavier gazed in bewilderment at Mr. Sanders because that was not his style.

If such vile incidents had occurred in the past, Mr. Sanders would fly into a rage and even personally handle the matter.

This time, however, he did not show any inclination to take it on himself.

It was all Derrell could say to comfort Edgar.

“Stop lying to me, Master. I won’t ever be able to stand again, will I?” Edgar asked Derrell resentfully. “I won’t ever be able to get my revenge on Jared, will I?”

Derrell took a deep breath. He did not speak, but the expression on his face said everything.

Having tried and failed to cure Edgar with every means at his disposal, Derrell was, at that moment, deliberating how he would explain things to Ryker.

Upon seeing Derrell’s expression, Edgar began screaming, “Why? Why is it so unfair? I will kill Jared! No, I want him to know what it feels like to be bedridden!”

In his agitation, the gauze all over his body burst open. Derrell hurriedly pressed him down.
