Chapter 935 Retire
Jared and Rayleigh hung out on the deck after they boarded the boat.
“You made so much noise when you participate in the competition in the Department of Justice’s place. If
things keep progressing this way, your identity will be exposed before the intended time. In fact, I think
the Deragons have already noticed you. Do they already know you are the person they have been
searching for?” asked Rayleigh.
Jared shook his head. “I don’t know that for sure, but I think I saw Ryker.”
“What? He went to you?” asked Rayleigh. He was surprised to hear that.
“It happened when I was in the arena. He was hiding among the audience, and had a hat and mask on.
Still, I can sense that it was him,” replied Jared calmly.
Rayleigh frowned. “This is bad. If you can sense him, then that means he must’ve sensed your aura and
blood’s origin, too. He must’ve learned who you are then, and I’m guessing, by now, the rest of the
Deragons already know about you.”

against the Deragons. If Ryker learned about the truth and sent his men to go after Jared…
Jared will have nothing to protect himself with.
“There is nothing to worry about. I’m sure everything will turn out fine.”
Things had already progressed to that extent, so Jared had accepted his fate. At that point, the only thing
he could do was have faith that everything will be okay.
“Well, I guess there’s nothing we can do about that. However, you are a member of the Department of
Justice now. That organization might not be strong, but it is a part of the government. If you can impress
one of the higher-ups, it is likely the Deragons won’t be able to go after you,” said Rayleigh to share his
analysis.
Jared nodded. That was exactly what he thought as well. He wasn’t strong enough, so he needed help
from government officials to rid himself of all the people who were out to kill him.
Unfortunately, the Department of Justice was simply too weak. Theodore might be the General of the
Department of Justice, but he didn’t actually have much power. In fact, his title offered so little power that
Jared’s enemy might even look down on him.
Hence, if Jared was to use the government officials’ support to survive, he would have to get to know
some higher-ranking officers. In short, Theodore alone would not be enough. He might even have
difficulty introducing Jared to the higher-ups.
Jared was still struggling when he suddenly thought of someone, Jermaine Cadden. When Jared first
came to Jadeborough, he cured Jermaine’s son. They built a rapport, and that made it possible for Jared
to ask for Jermaine’s help to introduce him to the higher-ups. Jared would then be in a position to
temporarily obtain help from government officials to discourage his enemies from killing him.
“Mr. Deragon, now that you have given Josephine and Lizbeth all of your power, what will you do?”
asked Jared.
“What else can I do? All that’s left is to find a quiet place to retire and spend the rest of my life in peace.”
Rayleigh looked into the distance. His gaze seemed tainted with exasperation, and it carried a hint of
reluctance.

“Have you thought about where you want to go? What do you think about Horington? I own a house
there, and I have many friends. If you move to the city, you will be able to lead a peaceful life, and I can
fund your retirement…”
Rayleigh sacrificed his powers for Jared’s sake, so he actually felt extremely bad about it.
“That’s a pretty good idea. Okay, I will go to Horington and spend the rest of my life there.”
Rayleigh nodded. That delighted Jared because he worried that Rayleigh would refuse his offer.
Some time later, the boat reached its destination. Night hadn’t even fallen at the time, so the people
waiting on the land were surprised.
No one thought that the boat would return that soon. The competition was supposed to stretch out for
three days, and it’d be an incredible enough feat to make it back within that time frame. Yet, the ship had
returned after one short day. No one knew what was going on.
Theodore and Anne ran ahead nervously. They wanted to figure out what had happened and why the
boat returned that quickly.
They only sighed a breath of relief when they saw Jared and Andrew leaving the ship unharmed.
The people from Jetroina were waiting as well, but they never saw Ichiro or his men. Their expression
instantly turned sour.
