The Man's Decree novel Chapter 1258

Chapter 1258 An Alliance

Desmond gave Jared a puzzled look and asked, “Mr. Chance, how is he of use to you?”

“I’d like to use him to help me break through in my cultivation practice,” Jared answered honestly.

Jared wanted to leverage Richard so that he could advance and attain the rank of Martial Arts Marquis.

After all, Richard was a Martial Arts Marquis himself. If Jared could somehow absorb his power, it was possible that Jared could finally have his breakthrough.

Desmond did not fully understand Jared’s intention. Nevertheless, he nodded.

Richard leveled a stare at Jared and asked, “Jared, what are you trying to do to me?”

Fear was written all over his face.

“Isn’t it obvious that I’d like to absorb your power?”

Jared pressed down on Richard’s head right after.

Richard’s body shook violently as it contorted. His power and ability were transferred into Jared’s body.

Richard struggled to break free but to no avail.

Bewilderment filled Desmond’s eyes as he looked at Jared. He was astonished that Jared actually knew Demonic Cultivation.

Oh my, he is truly a Martial Arts Marquis!

The absorption of Richard’s power took about an hour before the man was finally depleted. By the end of it, Richard had turned into a shriveled corpse.

Jared crossed his legs as he started to apprehend Richard’s powers.

He was fully focused as he engaged Focus Technique. After three whole hours, Jared slowly opened his eyes.

Jared could feel the golden elixir in his body. However, there was no sign of a breakthrough.

“Nothing has happened even though I’ve absorbed a Martial Arts Marquis’ power?” Jared furrowed his brows as he mumbled to himself.

Even though he was all smiles, his words were laced with threat.

Jared could not possibly protect Crimson Palace forever. Hence, he had to make his stance clear to Desmond.

“Do not worry, Mr. Chance. I will make an announcement that Divine Beast Sect has formed an alliance with Crimson Palace. Hence, no sect in the south will dare to find fault with Crimson Palace!”

Desmond was well aware that they would not be able to rival Jared. Since that was a fact, he might as well seize the chance to be in Jared’s good books.

“That will be great!” Jared smiled. “Now that Richard is dead, I should head back.”

After he bade goodbye to Desmond, Jared headed back to Crimson Palace.

Seeing that Jared had been away for one whole day, Millie and Cecilia asked him the reason he went to Divine Beast Sect out of curiosity.

He looked at the sisters and smiled. “Nobody will dare to trouble Crimson Palace from now on. I have killed Richard Frey. Desmond Cowper has become the new Lord of Divine Beast Sect. He has decided to form an alliance with Crimson Palace. So, no sect in the south will dare to trouble Crimson Palace.”

Millie and Cecilia were taken aback by Jared’s words.
