Chapter 1634Chapter 1634 Back On Your Word
“Jared, this tome was passed down from our seniors. It contains information about ancient ruins
belonging to lost sects. You can just pick any one of them,” said Skylar. “What if I took this tome away?”
Jared smiled coldly. “You can’t do that. This is a valuable resource for Warriors Alliance. We’ve been
successful all these years thanks to the wealth of knowledge contained in the text. Apart from the
higher-ups, nobody else has access to its contents. The fact that we’re willing to allow you to have a
glimpse and pick an ancient ruin is a sign of good faith!” huffed Skylar, his expression cold.
Jared did not respond to this. Instead, he just flipped through the old tome. The pages were filled with
the names of many ancient ruins, as well as detailed descriptions of the lost sects themselves.
With each turn of the page, Jared felt that he was discovering a whole new continent. He never thought
that Warriors Alliance could possess such a treasure trove of information.
Skylar noticed that Jared was taking his time flipping through the pages. With an arched brow, Skylar
said, “Let me give you a word of advice. The further you go into the tome, the more valuable the
resources found in the ancient ruins. Naturally, it’ll make your expedition more dangerous as well. I
guess it depends on whether or not you have the guts to take the risk.”
Having said that, Skylar stared at Jared, waiting to see how the latter was going to respond. When
Jared heard that, he immediately turned the pages until he reached the list of ancient ruins at the end
of the book. Upon realizing what Jared had done, Skylar could not help but smirk.
He said those things earlier to deliberately goad Jared. After all, what if Jared picked a particularly
dangerous ancient ruin to explore? There was no telling if he was going to survive.If that happened, Skylar’s vengeance would have been fulfilled, and Jared could no longer be a threat
to Warriors Alliance. Very soon, Jared’s gaze settled on an ancient ruin.
This particular ruin used to be owned by a sect called Skywrath Sect. The sect had a heavy emphasis
on charm spells as part of its training regimen.
Skywrath Sect caught Jared’s eye because he was the weakest when it came to casting charm spells.
Flaxseed, on the other hand, was a more proficient spellcaster. If he went along on the trip, it would
have made things easier for Jared as well.
“I choose this one,” said Jared as he pointed at the ancient ruin. Skylar gave it a cursory glance and
asked someone to fetch a pen so that Jared could take notes.
Shortly after, Skylar made a checkmark indicating the ruins had been looked into. Jared pocketed a
copy of the map he had made earlier and returned the tome to Skylar once more.
Skylar was all smiles when he took the tome back. In his most sincere voice, he said, “Jared, I think
this makes us even. If you ever need help from Warriors Alliance, we are definitely not going to refuse.”
“Well then. Now that we’ve put our grievances behind us, I hope you’re no longer going to hold a
grudge over the death of your father,” said Jared mildly.
“Of course not…”
Skylar held back the burning anger within him and forced out a mild smile.
“That being said, we may have put the past behind us, but don’t forget that Warriors Alliance is still
holding my girlfriend captive. Do you think I’m going to let that slide? If Warriors Alliance won’t let her
go, then I will lay waste to this entire organization!” said Jared grimly.Everyone could feel the murderous aura that radiated off Jared’s body. It seemed that with a single
snap of his fingers, Jared could decimate Warriors Alliance just like that.
novelbin“What is the meaning of this?” hissed Skylar and his face was now a mask of unconcealed rage.
“I’ve already explained it to you. Our personal grievances are already sorted out, but my grievance with
Warriors Alliance hasn’t gone away. If you don’t let her go, I’ll destroy Warriors Alliance sooner or later,”
replied Jared icily.
“Jared, you’re going back on your word! How can you behave this way? You’re an important figure in
the Jadeborough martial arts world!” asked Skylar, trying his best to maintain his composure.
