Zion was scowling, but when he turned to look at Warren, he realized the latter had a dumbfounded look on his face.
Jared was performing far better than they ever thought he could.
“Regardless of everything, we can't let him live until the next morning,” Zion said.
Warren nodded in agreement. He, too, knew that they would be digging their own graves if they let Jared continue improving his strength.
“I know you're not dead yet. Why don't you use all the tricks you have up your sleeve?”
The way Jared was gazing at his opponent was as if he was a king looking down on his people. The crowd could not help but feel a chill running down their spines.
Edgar then clambered out of the crater with great difficulty. His chest was dented from the attack, and evidently, he had a couple of broken ribs.
Just as Edgar's head appeared out of the crater, Jared took a step forward. In the next second, he dashed toward
Edgar.
The overwhelming intense aura rushed toward Edgar as well.
Boom!
Edgar, who had just risen to his feet, was smashed onto the ground once again.
Dust rose up in the air. For a moment, no one beyond the dusty shroud could see what was happening.
“Edgar!”
At that, Ryker's face turned ashen, and he jumped to his feet.
Edgar was his only son, and he could not bear to see anything happen to Edgar; he could see that Jared was determined to end Edgar's life.
“Mr. Deragon...”
Right then, Godrick grabbed Ryker. “Clam down, Mr. Deragon. If you help him up right now, the Deragon family would lose every bit of their reputation. We'll become the laughingstock of the martial arts world. Moreover, Mr. Edgar hasn't taken out the sacred item yet. That means he's still fine; he's not at his wits' end yet!”
Godrick's words managed to calm
Ryker down.
Indeed, Edgar had not shown his trump card yet, so that meant that he was not hopeless.
If Ryker had impulsively intervened earlier, he would have broken the rules of the Warriors Alliance. If that were to happen, it would be a difficult mess to clean up.
