Chapter 946 A Favor
However, Jared pretended as if he had seen nothing and continued to say to Mr. Sanders, “This royal
tomb site is right beside the current site, underneath the small hill. If I am not mistaken, the small hill is
actually the heaped earth of the undiscovered royal tomb site.”
His remarks sent the crowd into another uproar. The current royal tomb site had practically become a
tourist site and was filled to the brim with visitors. How was it possible for the alleged royal tomb site to
go unnoticed?
Mr. Sanders leveled a stare at Jared. “Chance, are you for real? Do you know the repercussions that
await you if there is nothing there?”
“Mr. Sanders, I am willing to bear the responsibility for my words,” Jared said calmly.
At the sight of his confident manner, Mr. Sanders started to believe in him, and the others were swayed
as well.
After all, nobody would be that foolish to lie about such a thing to Mr. Sanders on such an occasion.

“Mr. Sanders, there truly is a tomb site underneath the small hill. However, I am not sure if it’s a royal
tomb site. I discovered it a while back. When I wanted to find out more, I bumped into this young man.
He disrupted my investigation when I was using the Seven Star Formation. Otherwise, I would have
reported my findings much earlier,” Blake said as he rose from his seat.
Blake was the first to discover the tomb site, and he planned to scavenge the place secretly. However,
he did not expect to bump into Jared there. Now, Jared was going to use the discovery as a favor to Mr.
Sanders.
Blake felt indignant that Jared had taken his credit in the matter. Hence, he rose from his seat and tried
to claim the credit for himself.
Everyone started to believe in Jared’s claims right then. After all, the Henckle family explored tombs and
graves for a living, and no other families could surpass them in the matter. Now that Blake had verified
the location of the site, it was almost guaranteed that Jared’s claims were true.
Mr. Sanders cast a glance at Blake and did not believe his claim that he would report his findings. He
knew for a fact that these great families would not openly share the resources that they have found.
However, Mr. Sanders said nothing.
“Okay. I will send someone to investigate. If there is truly a royal tomb site, you will have made a great
contribution, Jared,” Mr. Sanders said before he strode outside.
At the sight of Mr. Sanders leaving, everyone stood up to send him off.
Theodore brought Jared along to see him out.
“Jared, you have to be most careful when you’re at the pinnacle of success. Others’ protection would
only last a short while. You are the only one who could truly protect yourself,” Mr. Sanders remarked as
he patted Jared’s shoulders before getting into his car.
Jared understood Mr. Sanders’ message and nodded slightly.
He knew he would have to be stronger to survive in the cruel society. Depending on others’ protection
was not a sustainable plan.
The others left the hall one by one after Mr. Sanders had taken his leave. If not for Mr. Sanders, the
Department of Justice would not have been able to invite such a respected crowd.

“Jared, don’t think that I will forgive you just because you’ve found a strong backup. I will never let you off
the hook for cutting off my arm. Just you wait and see,” Kristoff gritted through his teeth.
“Whatever,” Jared said nonchalantly.
Kristoff boiled with fury at his response. However, he dared not strike Jared at such a place, especially
after Mr. Sanders’ warning.
“Kris, let’s go.”
Steinar called out after his son to leave. He was afraid that Kristoff might not be able to restrain himself
and hit Jared.
“Dad, are we going to let Jared off the hook just like that?” Kristoff asked indignantly after leaving
together with his father.
Slap!
Steinar slapped him across the face just after Kristoff asked him the question. “B*st*rd! Did you know you
almost sent us all to die back there? How dare you question Mr. Sanders? Haven’t you seen that Zion
Zeigler dared not even let out a breath in front of that Mr. Sanders?”
