A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1464

Chapter 1464 Take Advantage

Edgar nodded. “All right!”

Then he gathered everyone on the ship who attended the Trial.

Many perished during the Trial. Some died during the battle against the demon beasts on the shore, while others met their demise at Jared’s hand.

A few also passed away when everyone tried to escape the palace.

It was the first time twenty-odd people died during a Trial, but it was also the first time all participants got an abundant amount of resources.

Everyone had at least hundreds of beast cores on them. Even then, there were a lot more left on the island.

While the effectiveness of those cores became less potent after lying on the island for a very long time, they were still invaluable treasures.

Edgar spoke to the crowd loudly. “Everyone, I gathered all of you here because I have an announcement. The Deragons held this Trial. So, all of you must hand over the resources you obtained to the Deragons before we redistribute them back to you all.”

That instantly caused an uproar of dissatisfaction among the crowd.

“What do you mean by that, Mr. Deragon? The Trial may have been organized by your family, but no one said anything about redistributing our resources!”

“Have you forgotten what you said when you asked for our help to kill Jared? Are you going back on your word, Edgar?”

“Yeah! What’s the meaning of this? Now that Jared’s dead and Dragon Island is gone, you’re just going to take advantage of us?”

“No way I’m handing my beast cores to you! Try taking it from me by force if you dare. You’re outnumbered! Why should we be afraid of you?”

The crowd roared. Of course, they weren’t going to hand over the precious resources they had just obtained.

Edgar wasn’t angered by that response. Instead, he smiled. “It’s fine if you all don’t want to. Just be prepared to die a horrid death in seven days.”

“What do you mean by that, Edgar?” someone questioned loudly.

Soon, he pooled all the beast cores together and started distributing them.

It wasn’t a fair allocation, however, because it was done based on the influence and power of the individual’s sect.

Those who came from a more powerful sect would obtain more cores, while those who didn’t get less.

Members of weaker sects were unhappy with their amount, but there was nothing they could do but curse Edgar in their minds.

The ones from more influential sects were satisfied with what they got and naturally didn’t give the Deragons any trouble.

That was the world they lived in, one built on the law of survival and where the strong preyed on the weak.

The Trial yielded gratifying results for Edgar as he obtained plenty of beast cores and eliminated Jared.

The only regret he had was losing an arm.
