When Jared let go of Edgar, the latter fell to the ground like a tattered doll.
Only then did Godrick let the two Martial Arts Grandmasters of the Deragons help Edgar up.
Jared glanced at everyone and uttered, “This painting is mine, and no one's going to take it away from me. Whoever wants to try snatching it from me, you're welcome to give it a try. If no one's going to do that, buzz off!”
No one dared to have any thoughts of taking the painting after witnessing what had happened, so they all started back on the path they came from.
At the same time, the people from the Deragons held Warren and Edgar up and left.
“I swear to have my revenge. I'm going to kill him!” Edgar shouted angrily after getting out of the cave and having his martial energy restored.
“Don't worry. That b*stard won't be able to leave the ancient tomb. If he dares to come out, I'm going to tear him to pieces.” Warren's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Skylar remained in the cave after everyone had left. He merely stood there as if he was waiting for something.
“Mr. Norton, everyone has left. So why are you still standing here?” Howard asked.
“I'm just curious about what's inside the coffin. I’d like to check it out,” Skylar answered flatly.
“But our martial energy is suppressed now, no? We can't even get close to that coffin. How are you going to check it out?” Howard asked curiously.
“Well, we have him, don't we?” Skylar pointed at Jared. “He can surely open the coffin.”
Howard looked at Jared and asked, “Jared, are you planning on opening the coffin?”
Jared nodded. Since I'm already here, I would have to see if the coffin has any magical items.
