"Jared, this tome was passed down from our seniors. It contains information about ancient ruins belonging to lost sects. You can just pick any one of them," said Skylar.
"What if I took this tome away?"
Jared smiled coldly.
"You can't do that. This is a valuable resource for Warriors Alliance. We've been successful all these years thanks to the wealth of knowledge contained in the text. Apart from the higher-ups, nobody else has access to its contents. The fact that we're willing to allow you to have a glimpse and pick an ancient ruin is a sign of good faith!" huffed Skylar, his expression cold.
Jared did not respond to this. Instead, he just flipped through the old tome.
The pages were filled with the names of many ancient ruins, as well as detailed descriptions of the lost sects themselves.
With each turn of the page, Jared felt that he was discovering a whole new continent. He never thought that Warriors Alliance could possess such a treasure trove of information.
Skylar noticed that Jared was taking his time flipping through the pages. With an arched brow, Skylar said, "Let me give you a word of advice. The further you go into the tome, the more valuable the resources found in the ancient ruins. Naturally, it'll make your expedition more dangerous as well. I guess it depends on whether or not you have the guts to take the risk."
Having said that, Skylar stared at Jared, waiting to see how the latter was going to respond.
When Jared heard that, he immediately turned the pages until he reached the list of ancient ruins at the end of the book.
Upon realizing what Jared had done, Skylar could not help but smirk.
He said those things earlier to deliberately goad Jared.
After all, what if Jared picked a particularly dangerous ancient ruin to explore? There was no telling if he was going to survive.
If that happened, Skylar's vengeance would have been fulfilled, and Jared could no longer be a threat to Warriors Alliance.
Very soon, Jared's gaze settled on an ancient ruin.
