Knowing he was no match for Jared, Zion decided to call a meeting to get help from the higher-ups.
Yet, they despised him. At that point, he had somewhat gauged the people's opinions of him in the Warriors Alliance.
Although Skylar was just the alliance's vice president, his appointment was made by Tanner. On top of that, Skylar had attained the Black Copper Robe level. It was also clear that Skylar was more capable than Zion in many ways. Zion finally understood he was nothing more than a puppet.
Zion did not believe Skylar when the latter had told him the man in the black robe was Jared, but now that the truth had spoken for itself, Zion could only give in to Skylar.
Since Skylar was the man in power, Zion would need his help to mobilize the higher-ups.
Soon, a few men in black robes with a copper-colored emblem gathered in the Warriors Alliance's meeting room. They all belonged to the rank of Black Copper Robe.
Although these men ranked the lowest among the higher-ups, they were not people Zion could mess with.
They were just as capable as Zion, if not more powerful than him.
In their society, individuals' prestige and position in the social hierarchy were benchmarked against their ability. In other words, their ability meant everything.
After a briefing, Zion said, "Mr. Norton, Jared is the biggest threat to the Warriors Alliance. We must get rid of him. Besides, Jared is your arch-enemy. You can lead a few Black Copper Robe warriors to finish him off. He'll die in your hands for sure."
Zion could not help but shudder when thinking of Jared. He just hoped Skylar would bring his men to wipe Jared out.
"You should do it instead, President Zeigler. You can take four Black Copper Robe warriors with you. Unless you're afraid of Jared?" Skylar asked nonchalantly.
"Of course not! I'm just giving you a chance to avenge yourself!" Zion refused to admit his fear of Jared.
