“It’s not up to you to judge whether there's something inside. Back off!” chided Warren loudly.
When Jared heard that, he retreated quietly. He was aware that he was still no match for Warren yet, so he had to hold himself back for the time being.
On the other hand, Blake shot Jared a look of disdain and said, “Mr. Gordon, these two tunnels are identical. But according to my years of experience, I think that we should take the right tunnel.” “Okay, we'll heed your advice and proceed right.” Warren nodded.
As only Blake was familiar with ancient tombs, they could only listen to him.
When Jared saw that Warren and the rest were entering the right tunnel, he strode toward the left tunnel directly. “I'm entering the left tunnel. You guys can go to the right.”
Seeing how disobedient Jared was, Warren was about to scold Jared. But before he could, Blake stopped him. “Mr. Gordon, I'm still not certain which tunnel leads into the chamber. Since Jared wants to enter the left tunnel, just let him do it. After all, we'll need to explore both tunnels eventually.”
“Mr. Gordon, I'll go with Jared,” Edgar spoke up.
Edgar volunteered to follow Jared because he wanted an opportunity to cripple the latter. Besides, he figured that if the left tunnel led straight into the chamber, he could be the first to get his hands on the magical items.
Since Warren was going to the right tunnel, Edgar did not need to worry that the other families would snatch the magical items in the ancient tomb away.
“Okay, then. Be careful. Jared isn't that much weaker than you,” Warren reminded Edgar.
“Don't worry. Other than Godrick, I've still got two subordinates from the Deragons protecting me. Jared won’t be a match for us.”
Although Jared had killed two Martial Arts Grandmasters from the Thunderstorm Sect with a single blow, Edgar was not worried. Since he was a Seventh Level Martial Arts Grandmaster, he could have killed those two Martial Arts Grandmasters from the Thunderstorm Sect easily as well.
Furthermore, he had Godrick and two Fifth Level Martial Arts Grandmasters from the Deragons protecting him. If it was four against one, Jared would not be able to defeat them.
