    Chapter 371 Josephine Is Here


    “I don’t know about the others. But the Phoenix Regiment is definitely going to fight for a share of the


    Whitaker family’s properties. To be honest with you, I have already gotten two real estate agencies of


    the Whitaker family.” Phoenix disyed a cold smile.


    “Phoenix, this is preposterous…”


    Upon hearing that, Zachariah mmed the table wrathfully, his gaze filled with hostility.


    “Why? Do you want to fight?’


    Phoenix showed no weakness at all.


    At the moment, the two of them were just about ready to pull out their weapons. All the other martial


    arts families watched closely and did not say anything.


    “All right, that’s enough…”


    Before a fight could break out, Luke stood up and tried to ease the situation. “Based on the rule, what


    Phoenix said is correct. However, it is a special case between the Whitaker family and the Jantz family.


    Why don’t you both make somepromise? Why don’t the Jantz family give out half of the Whitaker


    family’s properties? That will solve everything!”


    “That’s impossible…”


    Zachariah immediately refuted, “I won’t give out even a single penny. I swear I will make you pay it if


    you insist on getting a share!”


    He was beyond exasperated. He would not give up a single property of the Whitaker family. After all, he


    still needed the money to buy the herbs needed for Crescent Sect.


    Being the peacemaker whenever there was a conflict within the alliance, Luke was caught in a rock and


    a hard ce when he saw how Zachariah refused to give in. It seemed to him that a fight could not be


    avoided this time.


    “Let’s go with the old rules then. We’llpete in the arena!”


    Just then, Bane, who had been keeping silent all the while, suddenly weighed in. Upon saying that, he


    stood up and left the scene.


    “Sure. Let’s meet in the arena after three days!”


    Bane’s suggestion was exactly what Zachariah wanted. Thetter left abruptly as well after saying his


    piece.


    “Arena it is! Do you think I will be afraid?”


    Phoenix showed no sign of being intimidated and with a harrumphed, she left too.


    In the end, Luke was the only one left. He let out a helpless sigh and waved toward the crowd. “All


    right. The conference is now dismissed…”


    The Warriors Alliance Conference onlysted less than ten minutes and ended on a tense note. Even


    though many martial arts families were not satisfied with the oue, they were fully aware of their


    strengths. With that, they had no choice but to keep silent.


    Two dayster, at Lizbeth’s house.


    Jared sat at the dining table, where Lizbeth had prepared a table full of dishes. For the past two days,


    Lizbeth did not allow Jared to go out because she was worried that the Jantz family mighte for


    him. Yet, to her bewilderment, the Jantz family did not make a move. In fact, they seemed to have


    forgotten all about Jared.


    When Lizbeth was done preparing the meal and was just about to sit down to eat, the doorbell rang.


    Her heart skipped a beat at that. Fear overwhelmed her instantly as she thought of the Jantz family.

    “Let me get it…”


    Noticing Lizbeth’s stiff expression, Jared stood up and was about to walk to the door.


    However, Lizbeth stopped him and told him to sit down before she headed toward the door cautiously.


    “Sit down. I’ll get it…”


    The moment she opened the door, she was stunned by the sight that greeted her. “Josephine? Why


    are you here in Summerbank?”


    Josephine was standing outside with some fruits in her hands.


    “I got worried about Jared, so I came!”


    Josephine smiled faintly.


    “Josephine…”


    Hearing her voice, Jared ran to the door excitedly. He felt utterly touched when he saw her.


    “Jared…”


    Josephine jumped into Jared’s arms.


    During these few days, Josephine had been worrying herself sick in Horington. After all, Summerbank


    was not as safe as Horington.


    Seeing Jared and Josephine’s intimate action, Lizbeth stumbled backward, suddenly unsure of what to


    do.


    “It smells nice. Did Lizbeth cook?”


    Josephine stared at the table full of dishes.


    “Yes, she can cook well. I’ve been eating her dish these two days.”


    Jared nodded.
