Sesame Cookie handed over the name list for today’s examination to the four Sect Masters.
“Invigilators, this is the name list for today’s candidates. Please have a look through them.”
The four Sect Masters took over the name list and quickly skimmed through it.
Most of the names on this list had been inserted by the Four Great Martial Houses.
During the examination, later on, people from the Four Great Martial Houses would help these candidates.
If everything went according to plan, these candidates would all pass the examination and be assigned important positions throughout Eurasia. They would then be able to better assist the Four Great Martial Houses.
Just then, a group of men in black came stumbling in. “Sect Master, something’s happened! We’ve got a problem!”
They were none other than the men who had been accompanying the Young Master of the Ancient Tomb Sect earlier.
Upon seeing his men so badly injured, the Ancient Tomb Sect’s Sect Master, James, immediately flew into a rage.
“Damn it! What on earth happened?”
“Who dared touch the people of the Ancient Tomb Sect? Does he have a death wish?”
One of the men in black whispered to James, “We were defeated by some people Jeager recruited. He was supposed to take the examination in Young Master’s stead. But little did we know, he recruited some help to rebel against us...”
Hmm?
Jaime’s brows furrowed.
Among these men was an Archduke.
This meant that the help Jeager had recruited had actually managed to defeat an Archduke!
Has Jeager recruited the help of an even stronger Archduke?
Jeager comes from a normal family. How could he be acquainted with an Archduke?
But so, what if he is?
The combined power of the Four Great Martial Houses is enough to smite even someone from the King Class, let alone an Archduke.
“Where’s my son?” Jamie asked, “He’s not hurt, is he?”
“I’m really sorry, Sect Master,” the man apologized guiltily, “It’s all our fault. They abducted the Young Master...”
“What!”
Jaime’s entire body shook with rage. A powerful aura exploded around him, and he was immediately enveloped in a mini tornado.
He couldn’t even speak too harshly to his son.
Yet now, his son had been abducted by someone else.
They’ve gone too far!
“Go!” Jaime bellowed, “Find them! No matter what it takes! Save my son! Even if it means activating the entire Ancient Tomb Sect!” If anything were to happen to my son, none of you will live to see tomorrow!”
“Sect Master,” the man replied hastily, “They said that they’ll be coming here to the Martial Artist National Examination to meet you.”
Hmm?
Jamie’s brows creased once more.
Not only were they making no attempts to flee after abducting his son, but they also wanted to meet him here at the Martial Artist National Examination.
This was a direct insult to him!
Just how strong are they? How are they so confident that they won’t be defeated by us?
The other three heads of the Martial Houses were abuzz with discussion as well.
“These commoner martial artists from the general public have been getting bolder lately. It’s high time we put them in their place.”
“Ugh! Truth be told, a group of men under me had their a**es handed to them while they were guarding a gambling den.”
“Really? That happened to a group of men under me as well.”
“We have to make an example of the commoner martial artist who kidnapped the Young Master of the Ancient Tomb Sect and punish him properly. Let’s see if anyone still has the guts to defy us after that.”
“Sect Masters,” Sesame Cookie ventured cautiously, “There’s something I’m not sure if I should say.”
“It’s alright,” Jamie stated, “Speak your mind.”
“Well, everything that you guys have said, including the kidnapping of the Young Master of the Ancient Tomb Sect, was carried out by one person,” Sesame Cookie revealed.
“What?”
The four Sect Master’s immediately flew into a rage.
“If this was all done by one person, then it’s obvious that he’s targeting the Four Great Martial Houses!”
“Humph! He’s got some nerve to offend the Four Great Martial Houses at the same time.”
“When he arrives, he’s going to pay for what he has done with his life!”
Jamie heaved a sigh of relief.
He had been quite worried that the other three sects wouldn’t help him when he started fighting with the guy who had kidnapped his son.
