Chapter 1289 Catch Him Alive
Zion never expected that Jared had actually forced David to the point of self-destruction. As a Martial
Arts Marquis, it would take a lot for them to even consider self-destructing.
Moreover, Martial Arts Marquis had families as well. If they self-destructed, that would mean that their
entire family would disappear off the face of the earth.
“It seems that Jared is definitely dead this time,” commented a head of a prominent family.
After all, if a Martial Arts Marquis self-destructed, everything within a hundred-meter radius would be
destroyed as well.
“Let’s wait till the investigation is over. I have a feeling that Jared is still alive,” Ryker said faintly.
He knew Jared’s real identity. Moreover, if the latter’s sudden improvement was not due to Demonic
Cultivation, then it would be related to the secret that Ryker was so desperately trying to find out.
He had locked his own sister up for more than twenty years just to know about the secret.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat secret could very well be hidden in Jared himself.
“That’s right. Let’s wait for the news. You are all dismissed.” Zion waved his hand, and the heads of the
martial arts families got up to leave.
Soon after they left, seven men walked into the room.
They were all dressed in black, even their heads were covered by a black cloth. Only their eyes were
revealed, but their gazes were dark and lifeless, just like a corpse’s. They did not even blink.
In front of the seven men in black, Zion took out a photo of Jared. As he was holding it in his hand, the
photo suddenly started burning.
“Your target is this man. Make sure to catch him alive,” Zion ordered the seven men.
They nodded and walked out without uttering a single word.
The reason why Zion did not want to kill Jared and wanted to catch him alive was that he wanted the
draconic essence within Jared.
When Jared was fighting against David, the golden dragon that was circling above the former’s head had
left Zion utterly astonished.
Therefore, he changed his plans and decided to catch Jared alive. He planned to extract the draconic
essence and then kill Jared.
In the meantime, Jared was currently staring at the ashes that were once David and the Norton family.
He felt slightly bummed by what had happened.
David was a Martial Arts Marquis, for goodness’ sake. If Jared was able to extract the golden elixir from
David’s body, it would help his cultivation a great deal.
However, now that David had been reduced to dust, the golden elixir had been destroyed as well.
The next step of the plan was to find Skylar, for he was the actual culprit.
“It doesn’t matter where you run to. Be it to the ends of the earth, I will find you.” Jared’s eyes shone with
determination.
Now that the Norton family was dead, there was still something left to do. It involved the massive
amounts of resources and assets the Norton family had in Jadeborough.
Of course, there had to be someone to take over and manage them, but Jared did not have the time to
do it. Hence, he needed to find someone to take care of that.
However, Jared had transferred the entire Shadow Estate over to the Village of Villains. As it was quite
far from where the Norton residence was located, it would be borderline impossible for him to take over
the Norton family’s huge industry.
It was not suitable for the Baileys to take over as well. After all, the Bailey family was only in charge of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsimpler businesses. If they were to take over such a big industry, they probably would not know much
about it, let alone manage it well.
Just as Jared was deep in thought, Howard’s face suddenly popped into his mind.
The Dunn family was a famous martial arts family in Jadeborough. Moreover, Howard was a man of his
word and was well-acquainted with Jared.
Therefore, Jared hoped that the Dunn family would be willing to reach out and take over the Norton
family’s business.
As for Lachlan, Jared trusted that the old man would not dare to try to harm him anymore.
With that, Jared turned and headed for the Dunn residence. However, he had just taken a few steps
forward when he realized that someone was secretly observing him.
With his spiritual sense, Jared soon found out that an elder from the Warriors Alliance was spying on
him.
Jared’s lips twitched as he remained standing still as he called out in a cold voice, “It’s not like the
Warriors Alliance to be so sneaky. Since you’re already here, come out right now.”
The elder from the Warriors Alliance was taken by surprise upon hearing Jared. Regardless, he still
walked out of his hiding spot cautiously.
