Chapter 1225 So Arrogant

 

 

“Mr. Norton,” Lachlan greeted Skylar deferentially after walking over to the man.

When Jared saw that, incredulity brimmed in his eyes.

No matter what, the Dunn and Norton families are both prestigious families in Jadeborough, on equal footing.

Besides, Lachlan is older, so his status is far higher than Skylar’s. As such, he shouldn’t be showing the latter this

much deference!

“Go and kill Jared. Remember to leave him whole, for there are things on him which I want!” Skylar ordered.

Lachlan was stunned for a moment before he slowly cast his gaze at Jared, wearing a somewhat conflicted

expression on his face.

“Why, you want to go against my orders?”

As Skylar clocked the man’s hesitance, his expression went chilly. “Don’t forget your current identity.”

His words radiated arrogance, for he needed to showcase his authority before the many martial arts families.

If even the Dunn family, one of the wealthiest families in Jadeborough, were to obey him to the letter, other families

wouldn’t dare go against him.

The fury within Lachlan blazed all the hotter, but he didn’t dare say anything contrary because Howard was in

Skylar’s hands. He had no choice but to relent.

 

“Of course not!”

Lachlan appeared exceedingly obedient. After saying that, he ambled toward Jared.

Jared gaped at him in utter surprise.

He couldn’t believe that the patriarch of the Dunn family would submit to a younger man like Skylar.

“Forgive me, Jared. I’ve got no choice either! When you’ve crossed the great divide, I’ll light a memorial candle for

you.”

Right after Lachlan said that, he unleashed the full force of his aura.

The aura of a Martial Arts Marquis rendered the Martial Arts Grandmasters pale in comparison.

The moment Jared sensed the aura emanating from the man, his heart sank.

He knew that he was doomed.

 

If he weren’t heavily injured, he might be able to hold his own against Lachlan.

In fact, there was a strong probability of him defeating the man. After all, his capabilities had skyrocketed dozens-

fold.

 

Right then, however, even an ordinary Grandmaster could finish him off, much less a Martial Arts Marquis.

Gazing at Lachlan before him, Jared slowly closed his eyes and awaited death.

Lachlan lifted his hand slowly. He didn’t want to do this, for he knew that if Howard were to learn that he took

Jared’s life, his son would never forgive him.

Alas, if he were to balk, Skylar would definitely make a move against his son. He had no choice.

Never had I imagined that I’d end up in such a pathetic situation. Perhaps this is karma!

“Do you have any last words, Jared?” he inquired.

His hand was lifted, but it remained suspended in mid-air for a long while.

“Make your move.”

Jared kept his eyes closed. Any last words no longer hold any significance.

“Hurry up and kill him!” Skylar roared, his brows knitting together.

Lachlan had no other recourse. His palm emitted a faint white mist. In the next heartbeat, he swung his hand at

Jared’s head.

At once, the whistle of wind echoed in Jared’s ears.

He knew that he was going to meet his maker soon.

Unexpectedly, a burst of unrivaled martial energy shot forward just when Lachlan’s palm was about to make

contact with the man’s head.

Jared opened his eyes, only to see Lachlan, who was in front of him, flung backward like a kite with a snapped

string.

At that, everyone’s eyes went as wide as saucers.

After all, Lachlan was a Martial Arts Marquis.

Yet, he was sent flying so easily.

“Who did that? Show yourself!” Skylar bellowed, his face as black as thunder.

“Is everyone in the martial arts world so arrogant nowadays that no one has any regard for the authorities

anymore?”

Slowly, Mr. Sanders walked out, followed by Theodore.

At the sight of him, everyone was shocked.

“I didn’t know you came, Mr. Sanders. Please pardon me.”

No matter how haughty Skylar was, he didn’t dare show the slightest temper before Mr. Sanders.

Instead, he hastily humbled himself before the man.

“Mr. Sanders.”

All the patriarchs of the martial arts families likewise greeted the man respectfully.

Despite their background as martial arts families, they were nothing in front of the authorities.
