Chapter 1166 Public Announcement
After a brief consideration, Freddy left some instructions for his subordinate and went to the dock to sail to sea.
He wanted to find Jared as he didn’t dare to risk the entire Wood family!
After Freddy departed, a martial trainee of the Malison Sect came to Quintus’ room in the hotel to report to him.
“Mr. Zabel, Freddy had just set sail. I believe he’s heading to Jared’s location,” the martial trainee reported.
“Mm!” Quintus nodded. “Turns out Jared is smart enough to hide at sea. No wonder we couldn’t find him all the while!”
After Freddy embarked on his journey to search for Jared, Quintus posted a post on the martial arts forum and announced that he would kill Jared.
Soon, the news spread all over the martial arts world. Everyone grew curious as to why the head of the Malison Sect, who had been in hiding for years, suddenly showed up and announced that he wanted to kill Jared.
Quintus didn’t want to be this high profile, for they were Demonic Cultivators. Their action could provoke other influential families who would hunt them down.
However, Quintus had no choice but to follow Zion’s orders.
Zion did that so no one would suspect the Warriors Alliance was behind Jared’s death.
Even if Jared were to die, it was all the Malison Sect’s doing.
Besides, the Malison Sect practiced Demonic Cultivation and had nothing to do with the Warriors Alliance.
Back at the Deragon residence in Jadeborough, Ryker narrowed his eyes when he learned that Quintus wanted to kill Jared.
“This is getting more interesting. Even the Malison Sect is popping out. Looks like there is something that everyone wants from Jared,” he commented.
Ryker assumed Quintus wanted Jared dead to get his draconic essence.
Many influential families wanted Jared’s draconic essence, but they were under the authorities’ control and dared not publicly announce that they wished Jared dead on the martial arts forum.
Even if they wanted to kill Jared, they would secretly do that instead of making it public.
Otherwise, they would catch the attention of the authorities, especially when Mr. Sanders was paying extra attention to Jared.
However, the Malison Sect was different. They consisted of Demonic Cultivators who weren’t recognized by the authorities.
Thus, it wouldn’t matter, even if they publicly announced that they would slaughter Jared.
“Mr. Deragon, why is the Malison Sect making it so obvious? Do they have someone backing them up?” Godrick asked Ryker.
Everyone despised Demonic Cultivators, so all demonic sects went into hiding.
There must be a reason behind the Malison Sect’s action.
“They might not have someone backing them up. Perhaps Quintus is now a Martial Arts Marquis. I remember he was already a Top Level Martial Arts Grandmaster two years ago. Thus, he could’ve become a Martial Arts Marquis! But I have to admit that it was a high-profile appearance. Even if he’s a Martial Arts Marquis, his actions might invite trouble,” Ryker explained calmly.
“What should we do? Should we send our people to target Jared in secret?” Godrick asked.
Ryker gave a dismissive wave. “No need. Even if we don’t take action, Jared won’t get to live for long!”
In Jadeborough Department of Justice, Mr. Sanders was brooding after learning of Quintus’ announcement.
The Demonic Cultivators could afford to make such an audacious claim because the authorities were not doing their jobs well.
As Mr. Sanders wore an ugly scowl, Theodore and the rest dared not utter a word.
“Theodore, don’t you know where Jared is?” Mr. Sanders asked.
Theodore shook his head. “Mr. Sanders, I don’t know where Jared’s hiding spot is.”
Xavier chimed in, “Jared has caused a stir in Jadeborough’s martial arts world since his arrival. Let us kick him out. Many influential martial arts families want him dead. Now that demonic sects like the Malison Sect have emerged, I’m afraid Jadeborough will no longer be at peace.”
