A Warrior Undefeatable

Chapter 1141

It was only after running a dozen miles in a single breath that Skylar dared stop.

His chest throbbed with dull pain as he panted heavily.

Skylar had received the full force of Jared's blow to secure his escape.

“It's not over between us, Jared. I will have you pay the price.” His features were twisted with rage,

though he felt envious upon recollecting Jared's shining bead.

He had never seen such a powerful

instrument before.

“How many more secrets does Jared have up his sleeve?” Skylar muttered to himself as he frowned.

After catching his breath for several moments, Skylar departed hastily once more. He was afraid that

Jared would catch up.

To ordinary people, the distance of several dozen miles was perhaps a lengthy one.

To men like Skylar, however, it only required several moments to cover that distance.

At that very moment, Jared had already entered Pentacarna Tower to cultivate.

He had no interest in wasting his precious time hunting Skylar down.

Though Coby's eyes were shut as he remained basking in the sun at the Rowling residence in

Marsingfill, other matters occupied his mind.

“Why do you think Skylar wants to cultivate in Xenhall despite the distance, Jericho?” Coby asked his

subordinate, who was flanking him. “And also to occupy Karl's estate?”novelbin

Coby had been puzzling over that subject ever since his return from Xenhall. Skylar definitely did not

restore the estate for Karl's family out of kindness.

He also knew that Skylar's praise of Xenhall's serene environment was a lie. Coby did not believe that

for a second, as Xenhall was in an impoverished state.

“I have a strange feeling about the tower at Gardner Manor, Mr. Rowling,” Jericho said thoughtfully.

“Every building on the wide expanse of the Gardners' estate has been rebuilt, yet only that tower

remains old-looking. It's possible that Skylar came for that tower, though I have no idea what it is used

for.” “I arrived at the same conclusion as well,” replied Coby. “I suspect that there is more to that tower

than meets the eye. I had never seen that tower over my numerous visits to Gardner Manor; I think it

used to be an old apartment. I've even asked Karl why he had such an old building on his land, and he

said that that was the shrine of the Gardner family and that he could not demolish it. From the sound of

it, the decrepit building is only a front. That tower must be what's hidden within. It must contain

secrets.”

Coby stood up suddenly, his eyes

glinting.

“Gather our men at once. We are going to Xenhall.”

Coby was determined to take a trip to Xenhall and uncover the secret once and for all.

As Xenhall fell under his jurisdiction, he was not going to let the tower's secrets, if any, fall into Skylar's

hands.

Though the Nortons were a prestigious family in Jadeborough, they had no influence on Xenhall.

A servant scrambled in just when Jericho was about to rally the men. “There is somebody in the yard

outside requesting an audience with you, Mr. Coby,” he reported.

Coby was taken aback. “With me? Who is it?”

“He says he is Skylar Norton of Jadeborough, and he's here just to see you, Mr. Coby,” the servant

replied. “He also looks like he's injured.”

“Skylar!” he muttered in surprise before waving his hand. “See him to the hall. I will be over there

shortly.”

Jericho started forward as soon as the servant departed. “Could Skylar's sudden appearance mean an

ulterior motive on his part?”

“We'll decide after taking a look. We are in the Rowling residence. What can Skylar's little schemes do

to me?” Coby headed toward the hall after responding.

Skylar was, at that moment, seated in the hall having a cup of coffee. He did not look too good.

Despite his injury, Skylar had run the entire way without pausing for breath. Instead of returning to

Jadeborough, he intended to eliminate Jared with the Rowlings' help.
