“Mr. Gunderson, based on what I know, there will be a huge group of representatives from prestigious


    familiesing to Jadeborough during these two days,” informed Verner.


    Fernando was puzzled. “Jadeborough? Why are theying to Jadeborough? Are they trying to get


    the government’s attention?” Shaking his head, Verner answered, “Their motive is the same as mine.


    We want to overtake someone’s position.”


    Fernando could barely believe his ears. They’re all powerful people. Do they really need to overtake


    anyone? “Ah, I know what you’re talking about. Jared’s


    sect-Deragon Sect-is having its opening ceremony in two days. You guys are trying to overtake Jared,


    aren’t you?” Astrid questioned.


    Verner nodded in response. “Currently, Jared is the most popr person in the Jadeborough martial


    arts world. Hence, everyone wants to take his ce.”


    “So, you’vee to Jadeborough to overtake him?” Astrid’s brows were knitted into a tight frown, and


    her expression had turned grim.


    Oblivious to Astrid’s displeasure, Verner nodded and said, “Of course. A person’s reputation in


    Jadeborough’s martial arts world would skyrocket as long as he or she defeats Jared. It’s very


    important to a family’s development”


    “Hmph! Whoever dares to overtake Jared will be making an enemy out of the Gunderson family. We’ll


    never stand idly by,” Astrid said sternly


    For a moment, Verner was stunned before he turned to look at Fernando. “Mr. Gunderson, what does


    Ms. Gunderson mean by that? Does your family have some kind of rtionship with Jared?”This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Of course, Fernando would never reveal the fact that Jared was the overlord of Dragon Sect, which the


    Gunderson family was a part of.


    Thus, he exined, “Well, she and Jared are friends. In fact, we might be a family in the future.


    Do you understand what I’m saying?”


    Verner listened intently and finally came to a realization. “I see. Now that you’ve said that, it makes me


    want to see Jared sooner. I want to know what makes him so attractive that even a beauty like Ms.


    Gunderson would fall for him.”


    “Tm warning you. If you darey a finger on Jared, you’ll be a mortal enemy of my family. You’d better


    think carefully,” Astrid hissed while ring at Verner.


    I mean it. Whoever messes with Jared will be the Gunderson family’s enemy!


    Upon hearing her words, Verner frowned. He then nced at Fernando for confirmation. The


    Gunderson family and The Adamantine have coborated before in the secret realm. Are they really


    going to have a falling out with us over Jared?


    To his surprise, Fernando nodded. “She’s right. Whoever messes with Jared will be making an enemy


    out of my family.”


    “Mr. Gunderson, is Jared really worth having your family make such a decision? Besides, your family is


    currently coborating with The Adamantine. Can you speak on behalf of the Great Elder?”


    Verner did not believe the Gunderson family would really be enemies with The Adamantine just


    because of Jared.


    So what if Jared is Astrid’s boyfriend? Fernando and his family don’t have a significant ce in the


    Gunderson family. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be sent to the mundane world as a representative.


    “Listen here. Whatever I say is exactly what the Great Elder will say, too. If you really mess with Mr.


    Chance, I’m sure the Great Elder will not only end the coboration, but he will also do anything to


    make The Adamantine pay the price,” Fernando warned seriously.


    Verner studied Fernando’s expression and realized thetter did not seem to be joking. At that, the


    former smiled and said, “Why would I mess with Jared when there isn’t any bad blood between us? It’s


    just a normal spar to learn from each other. Surely you’ll allow that?”


    Since Verner had said so, there was nothing Fernando could say to rebut. It did not make sense if he


    stopped Verner from sparring to learn from another person.


    After all, such an action was extremelymon in the martial arts world. “That’s fine, but keep in mind


    that there’s a limit. If you dare plot something, you’ll regret it,” threatened Fernando.


    Verner hurriedly assured, “I won’t. Since Jared’s partially a member of the Gunderson family, then The


    Adamantine will be on his side, too. How could I possibly plot something?”
