Just when Jared was about to end the meeting and proceed with making the preparations, someone


    reported that Xavier from the Law Enforcement Department had arrived, and Jared immediately had his


    men wee Xavier inside.


    It has been a long time since Ist met him. I wonder what he’s up totely.


    Xavier stepped in and froze slightly upon seeing Jared. A smile crept onto his face soon after. “I can tell


    you’ve improved your strength a lot, Jared. I still remember the first time I met you. You were but a kid


    who was bullied by people, and you even needed protection from Rayleigh. But in just one year’s time,


    you’ve be the leader of Jadeborough’s biggest sect!”


    Xavier sighed inwardly. A year ago, he regarded Jared as an insignificant fry, but now, he had to look


    up to Jared.


    “Don’t tter me too much, Captain Jennings. One wouldn’t visit without reason. You can just tell me


    why you’re here,” Jared remarked with a faint smile.


    “Mr. Sanders asked to meet you, and I’m here to pick you up.” “Mr. Sanders asked to meet me?” Jared


    was surprised as he did not know why Arthur wanted to meet him at this time.


    “Yeah,e with me. Don’t make Mr. Sanders wait too long.”


    After saying that, Xavier grabbed Jared’s hand and pulled him along. Soon, Jared arrived at the


    Department of Justice, only to see Arthur leisurely drinking coffee with a chessboard ced in front of


    him.


    Noticing Jared, Arthur waved him over while uttering, “Come sit down, Jared. Have a match with me.”


    Jared was stupefied. Did he summon me here just to y chess with me?


    Despite his confusion, he remained silent and walked toward Arthur, taking a seat in front of thetter.


    Arthur personally poured Jared a cup of coffee. “Have a taste. This coffee is authentic.”


    Studying Arthur, Jared tried to guess what was going on in the other man’s mind but to no avail, so he


    could only sip on the coffee. “It’s good.”


    “Hahaha, whether coffee is good or not. depends on the person’s mood. It actually has nothing to do


    with the coffee.”


    Pausing for a while, Arthur added, “Have a match with me. Let me see if you’re good at chess or not.”


    With a big smile spread across his face, Arthur grabbed a chess piece and made his move. The two


    yed several rounds, and Jared lost every single round.


    Instead of making anyments about Jared’s skills, Arthur merely asked Jared to continue ying


    with him. However, at that instance, Jared’s forehead was already covered in sweat as he felt anxious.


    I’m making preparations to save Josephine. I don’t have the time to waste ying chess here with Mr.


    Sanders! Although Arthur noticed Jared’s anxiousness, he still kept quiet and continued ying chess


    with the other man.


    In the end, Jared could not hold it in anymore. “Is there anything else I can help you with, Mr. Sanders?


    If there’s nothing, then please excuse me, for I have unsettled matters.”


    “Are you going to save your girlfriend?” Arthur asked while wearing a faint smile..


    Jared froze momentarily before nodding. “Yes. She’s been trapped in the cell for far too long. Now that


    I’m strong enough, I’ll definitely get her out of there.”


    “Strong enough?” Arthur slowly raised his head to look at Jared. “How strong are you right now?” “I’m


    now a Fifth Level Greater Martial Arts Marquis.”


    “Fifth Level Greater Martial Arts Marquis,” Arthur repeated. Then, he suddenly swung his palm at


    Jared, shocking thetter.


    Jared instinctively tried to dodge it, but he was toote. He was sent flying backward by the force,


    landing on a chair and smashing it to pieces.


    Despite the impact, he was unscathed. With a darkened expression, Jared stared at Arthur.


    “Do you think you can defeat seven Greater Martial Arts Marquises and two sacred martial arts relics


    with your current strength?” Arthur questioned, staring straight at Jared.

    “Two sacred martial arts relics?” Jared froze. “You mean to say Warriors Alliance has two sacred


    martial arts relics?” “That’s right.” Arthur confirmed with a nod.


    Hearing that, Jared panicked. He had had at difficult time dealing with one sacred martial arts relic, and


    that was with the assistance of his blood demon.
