Chapter 1409 Powerful Enemy
Meanwhile, Ryker returned to the residence looking all gloomy and brooding. The outcome of Jared’s battle with
Diego made him worry.
Edgar noticed the mood his father was in, so he asked, “What’s wrong, Dad?”
Raising his head, Ryker looked at his son. Edgar was healed for the most part, and his muscles were growing back.
“Edgar, Mr. Sanders himself demands that Jared take part in the Trial this time,” he informed.
The news excited Edgar. “That’s great, then! I can use the Trial as a pretext to kill Jared and absorb his power.”
“Don’t underestimate his power, Edgar. His strength has improved a lot more than I thought. Even Zion lost an arm
to him. Remember Diego? The one who has gone missing for decades? He fought Jared today, and I saw with my
own eyes how Jared destroyed him. It was horrifying! If he does join the Trial, I’m afraid you would be no match for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim,” Ryker stated honestly.
Upon hearing that, Edgar finally started getting solemn as well. He never thought Jared could grow this powerful in
such a short time. However, a moment later, he spoke up. “Dad, we’re the hosts of this Trial, so we can control who
the participants are. I say we do this…”
Edgar huddled closer and whispered his plan into Ryker’s ear. The old man’s face lit up, and he nodded. “Okay. I’ll
make the arrangements. He’s strong, but there’s no way he can fight off everyone alone.”
With that, Ryker got up and left, while Edgar’s eyes lit up with bloodlust. “I’ll make your life a living hell this time,
Jared.”
On the flip side, Zion scrambled back all the way to the Warriors Alliance in Jadeborough. He was huffing and
puffing, but his heart was filled with rage.
Even Diego lost to him. Who else can kill Jared?
At the sight of the ruffled Zion, Skylar plastered a smile. “You’re back early, President Zeigler. How did the battle
go?”
“Do you seriously need to ask? I would be holding that b*stard’s head by now if it went well,” Zion snapped. He
wanted to vent his anger at Skylar.

Even so, Skylar did not get mad as he kept on smiling. “Worry not, President Zeigler. We’ve raised a quartet of
powerful fighters, and now we can mobilize them. If we make a move today, Jared won’t stay alive for much
longer.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOh, yeah. We have the quartet. At that thought, Zion’s eyes gleamed. “Right. How could I have forgotten about
them?”
“This time, they’ll be joining the Trial held by the Deragons, and Jared will be there as well. Nobody can help them
while they’re inside, so…” Skylar trailed off, a sneer on his face.
A hearty laugh escaped Zion’s at his words, and his frown was wiped away. Even Skylar looked less annoying to him
now.
Just then, an alliance member came in and reported, “President Zeigler, Mr. Deragon wishes to see you!”
“Why is Ryker looking for me at this hour?” A frown knitted Zion’s brows.
Skylar had a guess. “If I’m guessing correctly, he’s here to talk about how to get rid of Jared with you. The
Deragons have bad blood with Jared, especially in Edgar’s case. Jared ruined him once, and they definitely won’t let
it slide. Not to mention Jared just killed Diego. Ryker must have noticed the impending crisis, so he came seeking an
ally.”
Needless to say, Skylar was a meticulous and scheming man. Barely anyone could see through him, much less what
he was thinking. He never wore his heart on his sleeve, and this man would become Jared’s nemesis in the future.
