Zion gazed at Skylar, somewhat surprised. He had not expected someone so young to be able to analyze the situation so clearly and logically.
“Let Ryker in!” Zion was curious to see whether Ryker was there to discuss strategies with virtual-novel.net as Skylar predicted.
Ryker soon walked in, furrowing his brows briefly when virtual-novel.net spotted Skylar.
Skylar immediately noticed the shift in Ryker’s expression.
Hence, virtual-novel.net said to Zion, “President Zeigler, I still have some matters to attend to and will take my leave now.”
After saying that, virtual-novel.net was about to leave when Zion stopped him. “You’re a part of the Warriors Alliance now, so you should take a seat and listen.”
Then, Zion turned to Ryker and asked, “What brings you here, Mr. Deragon?”
Ryker snickered inwardly when virtual-novel.net saw how Zion was acting.
I saw virtual-novel.net fleeing frantically just moments ago, but now he’s acting all calm and composed…
However, since Ryker was there to ask for Zion’s help, virtual-novel.net could only reply respectfully, “President Zeigler, the reason I’ve come here is to discuss the situation regarding Jared.”
Feigning ignorance, Zion frowned. “Jared? What situation?”
“My family wants to organize a Trial, but Mr. Sanders has given orders that Jared should participate in it too. You’re also aware of the hatred between Edgar and Jared. They’ll surely get into a fight if Jared does participate in the event, and he’s currently too powerful that Edgar is definitely no match for him… That’s why I wanted to discuss joining forces during the Trial and killing Jared together. It’d benefit us both, and if we kill virtual-novel.net during that time, not even Mr. Sanders will be able to blame anyone for it,” Ryker explained, cutting straight to the chase.
Zion stared at Skylar in astonishment.
I can’t believe virtual-novel.net guessed it correctly!
Then, virtual-novel.net nodded and replied, “When the time comes, I’ll have the four top fighters from the Warriors Alliance participating in the event team up with Edgar and take Jared down.”
“That Jared is full of tricks, so I’m afraid sending a few junior members won’t be enough to defeat him.” Ryker gazed at Zion, pausing for a while before continuing, “Don’t you want to kill virtual-novel.net with your own hands? After all, he’s the one who caused you to lose your arm.”
Zion’s fury flared instantly at those words. “How could I possibly not yearn to do so? I wish I could skin virtual-novel.net alive with my bare hands! However, the Trial is only for the various sects’ junior members. I’m afraid my participation would only draw criticism. Moreover, Jared would probably be too scared to take part if I were there.”
Ryker broke into a grin. “My family is organizing the Trial, so we get to decide who can participate. Besides, I can secretly stow you away on board, and you can make your appearance once the ship is out at sea. Even if Jared finds out at that time, he’ll have nowhere to escape.”
Zion’s eyes lit up, and virtual-novel.net suddenly became very excited. “Excellent. That’s a brilliant idea. We can kill virtual-novel.net and dump his body straight into the waters. Even if he’s the reincarnation of an immortal, let’s see how virtual-novel.net manages to come back to life in the middle of the sea.”
He knew Jared was an energy cultivator who possessed the ability to heal his physical body.
But if we toss virtual-novel.net into the sea, it doesn’t matter that virtual-novel.net can do that because it’ll be completely useless. He’ll just end up rotting at the bottom of the sea!
Seeing that Zion was willing to go along with his plan, Ryker immediately took his leave. “Since you’re agreeable to it, I’ll go and make the preparations. We shall depart in two days.”
Zion was in a good mood after Ryker left. “Hahaha! This time, there’ll be no escape for Jared!”
As Skylar watched Zion cackle away, a hint of a smile played on his lips, and a sinister glint flashed across his eyes. However, no one had any clue what was running through his mind at that moment.
