The Man's Decree novel Chapter 985

Chapter 985 Taking Advantage

“Godrick, go grab that painting.”

Edgar saw how the painting could change colors on its own and knew that it had to be a treasure, so he immediately ordered Godrick to retrieve it.

He would’ve retrieved it himself, but he was worried that there would be hidden traps, so he had Godrick do it.

Godrick frowned in dissatisfaction, but he didn’t dare to go against a direct order, so he bit down and went after the painting.

“Stop him!” instructed Colin who had hurried over with the two Martial Arts Grandmasters from Shadow Estate. He was determined to stop Godrick.

“What is wrong with you two? Jared fought so hard to help us get in here. If it wasn’t for him, none of you would’ve made it this far. By right, he should be the one who gets to keep that painting. How can you two take it for yourself? That would just make you as bad as robbers,” he said in a hostile tone.

“Oh, f*ck you. The Trial has always worked like this. The painting belongs to whoever gets their hands on it first, and you don’t f*cking get to lecture me,” refuted Edgar.

He raised his brows and turned his attention to Kristoff after saying that. “Kristoff, take your men and go teach that punk a lesson. I will reward you handsomely for it once we make it out of this place.”

Kristoff nodded. “Thank you, Mr. Edgar.”

After saying that, Kristoff led his men from the Shalvis family and went after Colin right away.

The latter had no choice but to lead his two subordinates and fight with Kristoff.

Edgar signaled Godrick with his eyes to get him to retrieve the painting quickly.

Colin was frustrated when he saw Godrick going after the painting, but there was nothing he could do because dealing with Kristoff was too challenging. In essence, Colin was just a small fry, and he depended heavily on his subordinates, who were both Martial Arts Grandmasters.

Howard shot a look at Jared and saw that the latter didn’t move a muscle. Even his eyelids didn’t flutter. It seemed the guy had been weakened, and that prompted Howard to sigh in exasperation.

Seeing how Godrick was about to get his hands on the painting, he zipped over. Immediately after, he waved his palm, and a wave of massive martial energy sent Godrick flying right away.

“What the hell are you doing, Howard?” growled Edgar upon seeing that.
