Kristoff covered his face and said with an upset tone, “So I lost my arm for nothing?”
“Don't worry. Since we can't kill Jared openly, we’ll do it in secret.”
Steinar's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Meanwhile, Zion and Ryker had just exited the Department of Justice. They froze for a moment when they saw Jared. It was obvious that there was something they wanted to say to the man, but none of them said anything.
Right then, Blake shouted furiously at Jared, “You bast*rd! You stole my thunder. You'd better give me an explanation today.”
He was the one who found the ancient tomb originally. However, the latter had gotten ahead of him and announced to others first. Therefore, it was only normal that he would get so angry.
“Be more specific, Blake,” Zion said when he saw the angry man making his way over.
Even though Blake had roughly spoken about what had happened at the celebration party, it was evident that Mr. Sanders didn't believe in his words. Otherwise, the latter would never have given all the credit to Jared.
“President Zeigler, I was the one who found the ancient tomb. I was inspecting the tomb when that bast*rd found me,” Blake started to repeat the timeline of the incident in detail. Then, he continued furiously, “But he went ahead of me and told everyone about the tomb first. Doesn't that mean he stole the credit that was supposed to be given to me? I hope you can stand up for me, President Zeigler...”
Taking a look at Jared, Zion said, “Is he telling the truth, Jared? If he is, then I think we should have a discussion with Mr. Sanders regarding this issue.”
“Yes,” the former said and nodded his head without any hesitation.
“However, he didn't actually inspect the tomb. I was the one who did it. If he had really inspected it, why didn't he report it to you immediately after I left? Could it be because the Henckle family wanted to keep the tomb for themselves?”
