Meanwhile, Skylar merely shot a glance at Jared and said nothing else. However, that was all it took for the latter to have an odd feeling about him. Skylar might look friendly and approachable, but Jared had instantly picked up on the dangerous aura the man was oozing.
He's the very definition of a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Before Warren could say anything, Skylar promptly handed an invitation card over to him. “Mr. Gordon, here's my invitation.”
Warren remained silent as he looked at the invitation, his expression darkening with every second.
The sudden influx of participants to the Trial was stressful for Warren, but what worried him the most was the elderly man with Skylar.
I can tell that his powers are comparable to mine. If we were to find treasures in the ancient tomb and he becomes greedy, not even I might be able to stop him.
However, since the other party had shown their invitation, Warren couldn't bar them from entering either. All he could do now was to take things one step at a time.
“Mr. Deragon, Mr. Deragon! You can’t go in without an invitation!” the two guards at the door suddenly shouted as Ryker frantically barged in.
Upon seeing that, Warren waved the guards off and hurried forward to welcome Ryker. “Mr. Deragon.”
“Dad, what are you doing here?” Edgar asked, looking utterly perplexed.
Alas, Ryker ignored them and glared at Jared, leaving everyone else scratching their heads in confusion. “Mr. Chance, why is Ryker staring at you like that?” Theodore whispered.
“How should I know?” Jared replied with a smile. “Maybe he finds me handsome!”
Theodore didn't believe a word of that, but he knew to stop probing when he sensed Jared's reluctance in talking about it.
After staring at Jared for the longest time, Ryker finally averted his gaze and turned to Edgar. “Edgar, get over here!”
