Chapter 1633 Someone Who Calls The Shots


    “Let go of the hatred?” Jared’s lips curved into a smirk. “I’ve killed your father as well as annihted the


    entire Norton family. Can you really let go of that grudge?”


    When Skr heard those words, his whole body began to tremble. There was no way he could let go of


    the vengeance he had against his father’s murderer! “Control your emotions. He’s getting on your


    nerves on purpose.” The spirit reminded Skr continuously.


    Skr took a deep breath before shing Jared another smile. “That’s all in the past. Right now, I just


    want to focus on cultivation to increase my own abilities. I’ve long gotten rid of any thoughts of revenge.


    Revenge will only spiral into an endless cycle. Even if I have my revenge, killing you wouldn’t bring my


    family back to life.”


    The rxed expression on Skr’s face showed no trace of the excruciating pain he felt at that


    moment. Eyeing Skr up and down, Jared could not help but form a newfound sense of admiration for


    Skr. Thetter’s patience was far beyond all expectations.


    “If you want to discuss a peace treaty, I have no issue with that. But first, you’d have to show your


    sincerity.” Jared stated calmly as he readjusted himself in his seat.


    “Of course, we’re sincere. Whatever is it that you want, just let us know.” Skr quickly responded to


    the turn of events.


    “My girlfriend has been held hostage by Warriors Alliance for so long now. Release her immediately


    and show me the sincerity of the alliance.”


    Seizing the opportunity, Jared attempted to rescue Josephine.


    The moment those words left Jared’s mouth, Skr frowned. “Jared, I’m sure you know that there is a


    powerful force behind Warriors Alliance. Even as the president of Warriors Alliance, I am just a mere


    pawn! I cannot authorize the release of your girlfriend. However, you have my word that she will receive


    the best possible treatment!”


    Jared’s wrath skyrocketed as soon as he heard that. “Then what else is there to discuss? You people


    are using the fresh blood of my girlfriend to cultivate the elites of Warriors Alliance, and you have the


    audacity to tell me that she’ll receive the best possible treatment? If I f*cking lock you up and make you


    bleed every single day, can I say that you’re receiving the best possible treatment?”


    Murderous intent rose behind Jared’s widened eyes.


    “Jared, calm down. As martial artists, we shouldn’t take romantic rtions too seriously. Besides this


    request, I can promise you anything else. Warriors Alliance has many resources for cultivation. I can


    give them to you!” Skr coaxed, terrified that Jared would lose his temper.


    Jared fixated his gaze on Skr as his murderous intent slowly dissipated. Taking a seat once again,


    he told Skr, “In that case, I’ll change my request. Give me the scepter in your hand. I’ve taken a


    liking to it the moment I’ve set my eyes on it.”


    When Skr heard that, he instinctively tightened his grasp on the scepter, afraid that Jared would


    snatch it away.


    “What’s wrong? Are you not giving it to me?” At the sight of Skr’s panic, Jared sneered coldly.


    “I… I don’t have any say in this either. Please state another request!” Skr replied awkwardly.


    “You can’t seem to authorize anything, then why the hell are you the one liaising with me? Go get


    someone who calls the shots!”


    Jared rose to his feet and prepared to leave.


    “Jared, Warriors Alliance is in possession of many ancient ruins. If you agree to stop the war against


    Warriors Alliance, we’ll agree to give you one of the sites in exchange!” Skr offered in a loud voice.


    Warriors Alliance organized a Trial every year. Hence, they would have to have adequate space for the


    event.


    When Jared heard that, he halted in his path and turned back around. “Do I get to choose the ancient


    ruins that you mentioned?”

    “Of course!” Skr nodded.


    “All right, then. I shall choose a site of the ancient ruins.”


    Jared took a seat once again.


    Joy overfilled Skr’s heart. Without wasting more time, he ordered someone to bring out a tome


    which the cover was worn out. From the looks of it, it had gone through many vicissitudes.
