The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1225

“Mr. Norton,” Lachlan greeted Skylar deferentially after walking over to the man.

When Jared saw that, incredulity brimmed in his eyes.

No matter what, the Dunn and Norton families are both prestigious families in Jadeborough, on equal footing.

Besides, Lachlan is older, so his status is far higher than Skylar's. As such, he shouldn't be showing the latter this much deference!

“Go and kill Jared. Remember to leave him whole, for there are things on him which I want!” Skylar ordered.

Lachlan was stunned for a moment before he slowly cast his gaze at Jared, wearing a somewhat conflicted expression on his face.

“Why, you want to go against my orders?”

As Skylar clocked the man's hesitance, his expression went chilly. “Don’t forget your current identity.”

His words radiated arrogance, for he needed to showcase his authority before the many martial arts families.

If even the Dunn family, one of the wealthiest families in Jadeborough, were to obey him to the letter, other families wouldn't dare go against him.

The fury within Lachlan blazed all the hotter, but he didn't dare say anything contrary because Howard was in Skylar's hands. He had no choice but to relent.

“Of course not!"

Lachlan appeared exceedingly obedient. After saying that, he ambled toward Jared.

Jared gaped at him in utter surprise.

He couldn't believe that the patriarch of the Dunn family would submit to a younger man like Skylar.

“Forgive me, Jared. I've got no choice either! When you've crossed the great divide, I'll light a memorial candle for you.”

Right after Lachlan said that, he unleashed the full force of his aura.

The aura of a Martial Arts Marquis rendered the Martial Arts

Grandmasters pale in comparison.

The moment Jared sensed the aura emanating from the man, his heart sank.

He knew that he was doomed.

If he weren't heavily injured, he might be able to hold his own against Lachlan.

In fact, there was a strong probability of him defeating the man. After all, his capabilities had skyrocketed dozens-fold.

Right then, however, even an ordinary Grandmaster could finish him off, much less a Martial Arts Marquis.

Gazing at Lachlan before him, Jared slowly closed his eyes and awaited death.
