Chapter 1394 Do You Have An Issue With That
Skylar thought about it and agreed it wasn’t a matter to joke about. Many elites would be participating in the Trial. If there was really nothing, then the Deragons’ reputation would go down the drain.
Skylar was keen to participate as well, as he wanted to see the ancient ruins that the Deragon family had tried to keep a secret for so long.
Alas, given his status, it would obviously be inappropriate for him to take part.
“Mr. Deragon, the Warriors Alliance can give you our support. However, I would like to request that four of our young talents be allowed to participate in the event. What do you think about this proposal?” Skylar asked.
“Of course! That’s not an issue at all! The purpose of this Trial is to discover and groom young talents for the martial arts world, so the more participants, the merrier!” Ryker agreed smilingly.
At Ryker’s agreement, Skylar asked his man to bring him the seal of the Warriors Alliance and proceeded to stamp it on Ryker’s document.
With that seal stamp on the document, Ryker would be able to prove to Mr. Sanders that the event had the support from Warriors Alliance. The Trial would be able to proceed once he got official approval from the authority.
Ryker was not really particular about the qualifications of the potential participants. After all, he wanted them there merely as sacrifices for Edgar, who needed to absorb power from other people.
It would be relatively normal if a few people died during the Trial, so no one could possibly blame the Deragons or suspect foul play on their part.
After Ryker left, Skylar, with the seal still in his hand, could no longer hide his elation.
“This feels great! This is so cool!” Skylar laughed out loud.
He was walking on air, having tasted the joy of being in a position of power.
So long as you obey my instructions, you’ll be greatly rewarded. It will only be a matter of time that you build up the Norton family again!
As the words uttered by that raspy voice rang out in Skylar’s head, he couldn’t help but mutter, “I’ll definitely do as you say, Sir…”
There was a glint of determination in his eyes as he dreamed of the day when everyone in the martial arts world would be in awe of the Norton family.
Back at the Department of Justice, Mr. Sanders was waiting for Ryker. Ryker had called him immediately after getting the stamp of support from the Warriors Alliance and told him he was on his way there.
It didn’t take long for Ryker to arrive. Upon reaching, he respectfully handed the document to Mr. Sanders.
To his surprise and consternation, without taking a look at the document, Mr. Sanders merely tossed it aside.
Without Mr. Sanders’ approval, even if he had gotten support from the Warriors Alliance, the Trial would still be a no-go.
“Mr. Sanders, that document has all the information about the Trial that our family would like to organize. The Warriors Alliance has already given us their support, so…” Ryker explained gingerly, hoping Mr. Sanders would go through the documents and give his official approval as well.
“There’s no need to go through the documents. I can give you my approval,” Mr. Sanders said placidly.
Ryker was elated. He smiled widely and said, “Thank you, Mr. Sanders!”
“But I have a condition…” Mr. Sanders added.
Ryker was taken aback, but he quickly composed himself and asked, “What would that be, Mr. Sanders?”
“Jared Chance must take part in this Trial,” was the reply Ryker got.
“Jared Chance?” Ryker was stunned. He did not expect Mr. Sanders to make such a request.
Seeing that Ryker was silent, Mr. Sanders frowned slightly and asked, “What’s the matter? Do you have an issue with that?”
“No, not at all!” Ryker was quick to deny it. “This Trial will be held in a treacherous place, and the participants will probably face many dangers. I’m just concerned for Jared, that’s all.”
Truth be told, he was worried about Edgar, not Jared.
After all, Jared had always been unpredictable and could ruin his plans. His main intention in organizing the Trial was to send the martial artists to Edgar, so he could absorb their powers. If Jared was to participate, Edgar would definitely set his sight on Jared and try to seek revenge instead.
