Chapter 1528 The Plot Thickens


    “My initial intention was to kill him, but the Dunn and Gunderson families got in the way, preventing me


    from doing so,” Zion exined.


    “What? The Gunderson family is protecting him too?” The news took Skr by surprise. “Aren’t they


    supposed to remain above the fray with regard to the conflicts of the martial arts world? Why are they


    standing against the Warriors Alliance for Jared’s sake?”


    “Mr. Gunderson used the Warriors Alliance of harming his daughter. Once he haspleted his


    investigation, he will personally exact revenge on us.”


    As the words left Zion’s mouth, his eyes were fixed intently on Skr, for he knew that thetter was


    the culprit.


    Why did he have to offend the Gunderson family by doing something like that?


    Just as expected, a minute change shed across Skr’s face, but he quickly recovered his


    composure.


    “President Zeigler, Jared would definitely not leave Jadeborough now that he’s grievously injured.


    Therefore, we should scour every inch of the city to hunt him down.”


    Skr attempted to shift the conversation away from the Gunderson family.


    “Do you realize how big Jadeborough is? Where are we going to find him? If we’re lucky, he’ll hide at


    the Dunn residence. However, what if he’s at the Department of Justice or the Gunderson residence?


    Are we going to demand that they release him?” Zion questioned.


    “Regardless of where he’s hiding, I can deal with him as long as he’s in Jadeborough. I’ll request our


    superiors to send another team of elite warriors over. If that isn’t enough, we’ll get them to send a ck


    Silver Robe warrior. Let’s see if Jared can still escape then.”


    A vicious glint shed across Skr’s eyes. He wasn’t going to rest until Jared was dead.


    “Let’s not report the matter up the chain first. Otherwise, it will end badly for all of us. I’ll figure


    something out in the meantime.”


    Zion, as President, was well aware that their superiors were upset with his repeated failure.


    In fact, he was at risk of being removed from his position.


    Nheless, he still had an ace up his sleeve—Gilbert. By releasing thetter, Jared’s death would be


    assured.


    “Fine. I’ll refrain from doing so for the time being. If you still fail to take him out, don’t me me for


    telling them the truth.”


    With that, Skr turned and left.


    As for the three remaining ck Copper Robe warriors, they exchanged nces among themselves. It


    wasn’t lost upon them that they were all in the same predicament. If they failed to take Jared’s life still,


    all of them would be as good as dead.


    Meanwhile, at the Department of Justice, Arthur was closely monitoring the events of the martial arts


    arena even though he had imed he would not involve himself in Jared’s affairs.


    Xavier had returned to report the matter after gathering all the required information.


    Arthur, upon learning that Fernando had made enemies of the Warriors Alliance on Jared’s ount,


    was visibly surprised.


    “The Gunderson family actually stood up for him?”


    Arthur’s brows furrowed slightly. “I wonder if the decision to save Jared was Fernando’s or Old Mr.


    Gunderson’s.”


    “Mr. Sanders, Fernando said so himself that he has beef with the Warriors Alliance because they


    harmed his daughter,” Xavier exined.


    Arthur stared at Xavier and asked, “Do you buy it?”


    Instead of saying a word, Xavier responded by shaking his head.


    Arthur continued, “When Fernando’s wife was killed in the conflict within the martial arts world, the


    Gunderson family didn’t even show themselves. Do you actually think he would take on the Warriors


    Alliance for his daughter’s sake?”


    “In that case, why did he save Jared? Does he have some kind of agenda that caused him to break his


    family’s age-old taboo?” the baffled Xavier asked.


    Arthur pondered a moment. “I have no idea what his reason is, but things are getting interesting with all


    these reclusive men surfacing in the world.”


    “What’s going to happen to Jared? He’s still at the Gunderson residence. Will he be in danger?” Xavier


    asked since Arthur couldn’t tell what the Gunderson family’s intention was.


    “No. Fernando is not going to kill him after deciding to save his life. You should continue monitoring the


    developments of the martial arts world, but remember, do not interfere. Just remain in the shadows.”This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    As Arthur narrowed his eyes, a piercing glint shed across them. It was as if nothing was capable of


    escaping his attention.
