The Man's Decree novel Chapter 1488

Chapter 1488 To Keep Themselves Safe

When Skylar heard Zion’s words, his expression promptly turned all the grimmer. “Crap! This is bad!” he cursed with a dark look on his face.

“What’s wrong, Skylar?” Zion inquired in utter bafflement. “I suspect Jared is still alive, and last night’s massacres were his doing,” Skylar stated gravely.

The instant Zion heard that, his expression changed drastically. In the next second, he shook his head and exclaimed, “That’s impossible! How could he possibly be alive? Even if he’s alive, it’s impossible for him to wipe out thirteen sects in a night with his capabilities. Don’t be such an alarmist.”

He didn’t believe that Jared was alive, nor could he accept that possibility. To him, the latter had long since died and couldn’t possibly be in the land of the living.

Just then, Ryker and Edgar, who had received news of the bloodbath, arrived.

They didn’t believe it either when they heard Skylar’s suspicion that Jared was still alive and it was the man who had annihilated the sects.

“If that conjecture of yours were to get out, Mr. Norton, you’d probably become a laughingstock. Even if Jared is still alive, he doesn’t have such immense power,” Ryker scoffed.

“Exactly! Even I can’t accomplish that with my capabilities now. Even if he’s still alive, he can’t possibly pull that off,” Edgar seconded.

“You may not be able to do it, but that doesn’t necessarily apply to him. Similarly, your capabilities have improved several folds these days. Yet, it also doesn’t mean that his capabilities have stagnated. Perhaps his capabilities have soared ever faster than yours.” Skylar threw the man a contemptuous look.

I’m not suspecting Jared for no reason. Various signs indicate that he’s likely still alive. Since he isn’t dead, it’s entirely possible that he did such a thing as slaughtering thirteen sects. He’s always been ruthless toward his enemies, never sparing a single soul. To top it off, he now hates the Warriors Alliance to the bone. All those sects have joined Warriors Alliance, so they’re his enemies.

“I think you’re just afraid of him. He obliterated the Norton family and hunted you down, so you’re traumatic. It’s only natural that you suspect him. After all, he has probably become your greatest nightmare.”
