Skylar thought about it and agreed it wasn't a matter to joke about. Many elites would be participating in the Trial. If there was really nothing, then the Deragons' reputation would go down the drain.
Skylar was keen to participate as well, as he wanted to see the ancient ruins that the Deragon family had tried to keep a secret for so long.
Alas, given his status, it would obviously be inappropriate for him to take part.
“Mr. Deragon, the Warriors Alliance can give you our support. However, I would like to request that four of our young talents be allowed to participate in the event. What do you think about this proposal?” Skylar asked.
“Of course! That's not an issue at all! The purpose of this Trial is to discover and groom young talents for the martial arts world, so the more participants, the merrier!” Ryker agreed smilingly.
At Ryker's agreement, Skylar asked his man to bring him the seal of the Warriors Alliance and proceeded to stamp it on Ryker's document.
With that seal stamp on the document, Ryker would be able to prove to Mr. Sanders that the event had the support from Warriors Alliance. The Trial would be able to proceed once he got official approval from the authority.
Ryker was not really particular about the qualifications of the potential participants. After all, he wanted them there merely as sacrifices for Edgar, who needed to absorb power from other people.
It would be relatively normal if a few people died during the Trial, so no one could possibly blame the Deragons or suspect foul play on their part.
After Ryker left, Skylar, with the seal still in his hand, could no longer hide his elation.
“This feels great! This is so cool!” Skylar laughed out loud.
He was walking on air, having tasted the joy of being in a position of power.
So long as you obey my instructions, you'll be greatly rewarded. It will only be a matter of time that you build up the Norton family again!
As the words uttered by that raspy voice rang out in Skylar's head, he couldn't help but mutter, “I'll definitely do as you say, Sir...”
There was a glint of determination in his eyes as he dreamed of the day when everyone in the martial arts world would be in awe of the Norton family.
