“An immortal?” Zion's eyes widened as a disbelieving expression crossed his face.
Could Jared be...
Zion's heart thumped furiously as his expression changed.
Right then, two men wearing metal masks came in. Zion paled when he spotted them.
“Zion Zeigler, how could you embarrass the alliance when you are the president? Tanner is upset. How dare you lie to him? Do you know what you did wrong?” one of them questioned coldly.
Zion's legs nearly gave up on him.
He could barely stand on his feet as he replied hastily, “Sirs, I did kill Jared previously. I didn't lie! It's just a rumor that he's still alive. I'll investigate the matter now. If he's still alive, I won't let him escape. I promise to chop his head off and hand it to Tanner.”
His voice was trembling as he gave him their word.
Letting out a snort, the law enforcers replied, “Tanner is displeased with your actions, so watch it. This is your last chance.”
With that said, they spun on their heels and left.
After the law enforcers left, Zion hurried to the slum in the outskirts of Jadeborough where Flaxseed's house was.
When he arrived at Flaxseed's house, the door was locked. There was no one inside. “D*mn it, he escaped!” he cursed angrily.
Meanwhile, at the Deragon residence in Jadeborough, Ryker wore a grim expression.
He had been upset ever since he discovered that his son was possessed by a spirit.
“Dad, you're right. Jared is still alive! Looks like I can get my revenge now!” Edgar was delighted to learn that Jared was still alive.
