The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1788

Anne held Jared's arm and strolled happily while Andrew and Gilbert followed closely behind them.

“Jared, are you here for anything else aside from coming here for a vacation?” Anne asked all of a sudden.

Jared was momentarily stunned before shaking his head. “What else can I do here?”

“Aren't you here because of the ancient ruins?”

She gazed at him with a smirk, seemingly wanting to read his thoughts.

Hearing that, he flashed an awkward smile and stayed silent. Still, Anne understood his intention by simply looking at his facial expression.

“Actually, I'm also here for the ancient ruins. Otherwise, I would never have come to such a small place for a holiday,” she said.

“You're also here because of the ancient ruins? But it's just the two of you?”

Jared was slightly taken aback. After all, Anne was not a skilled fighter, while Andrew had just become a Martial Arts Marquis. How can they wish to search the ancient ruins with such limited capabilities? This is no different from seeking death.

The smile on Anne's face faded away at once after she listened to Jared's remark. The next moment, a sorrowful look spread across her countenance.

Jared was at a loss as he didn't know if he had said anything wrong.

“I heard the ancient ruins contain the King of Herbs, so I'm trying to acquire the King of Herbs to save my father,” she bit her lip and uttered softly.

Jared hastily asked, “What happened to your father? Is he sick?”

She shook her head. “That's not it. Someone poisoned my father, and it is rumored that only the King of Herbs inside the ancient ruins can save him.”

“Poisoned?” Jared was shocked. Anne's father was a duke. He wondered who would dare to poison a country's duke.

“Someone is targeting my father's position as the duke, so they wanted to kill him to seize the title,” Anne quickly explained as she could sense Jared's confusion.

“Who's the daredevil?” he asked.

She gazed at him solemnly. “Who do you think can gain the duke title after my father dies?”
