Female Novel
Chapter 1466
“It's fine as long as Jared is dead. We should prioritize calming the other martial arts families' anger
now.”
With that, Ryker strode toward the exit. Yet, after taking two steps forward, he halted and turned around
to say, “Edgar, it'll be best if you avoid going out for the time being. Just stay at home and focus on
cultivating. It'd be rather troublesome if others found out about your current condition.”
Without another word, Ryker left the Deragon residence and hastened to the Warriors Alliance's
headquarters.
Over at the lobby of the Warriors Alliance's headquarters, Zion was in a joyous mood. Not only did we
kill Jared during the Trial, but I've also brought back so many beast cores for the Warriors Alliance. I
believe the higher-ups won't punish me anymore. Perhaps they may even reward me with some
magical items!
Amidst Zion's elation, Ryker entered.
“Mr. Deragon, please have a seat.” Zion was courteous toward Ryker.
The Deragon family hosted the Trial, so they deserved part of the credit for Jared's death and thenovelbin
retrieval of all those beast cores. Therefore, Zion thought he should treat Ryker more politely.
“President Zeigler, during the Trial this time, Edgar had behaved hot-headedly by simply changing the
rules, invoking dissatisfaction from many martial arts families. Negative news about my family is
spreading like wildfire, so I wish to seek your help in coming up with a way to subdue the spread of this
matter,” Ryker cut to the chase.
Zion frowned slightly after hearing that. “Mr. Deragon, the Deragon family is a member of Warriors
Alliance; we will certainly help you address this issue. But you should also be aware that many of these
clans aren't members of the Warriors Alliance, so they aren't under our jurisdiction. Nevertheless, I can
promise you I'll punish those sects and families under Warriors Alliance that dared to criticize the
Deragons.”
Ryker knitted his brows upon listening to Zion's speech.
Zion is right. Many sects and clans aren't part of Warriors Alliance, so even if he speaks up, not
everyone would listen to him. Still, the Deragon family's reputation will be ruined if those people are
allowed to continue doing as they please. After all, the Deragon family is considered a famous martial
arts family in Jadeborough. Hence, it will be wiser for us to formulate a way to suppress the news
following this incident. If the entire nation's martial arts world is informed of that matter, the Deragon
family will be utterly humiliated.
“I have an idea, but I wonder if it is appropriate.” At that moment, Skylar stepped out from one side.
He wore his usual faint smile, rendering others unable to read his thoughts.
“Sky... Mr. Norton, what idea do you have in mind?”
Ryker was about to address Skylar by his given name, but the latter was now the vice president of
Warriors Alliance. Moreover, Skylar was the person who permitted the Trial to be organized, so Ryker
had to show Skylar more respect.
“Mr. Deragon, these sects, and families are not a part of Warriors Alliance, so we do not have control
over them, but we can let them join us from now on. As long as they become one of us, they'll have to
heed President Zeigler's words, right?” Skylar suggested while wearing a thin smile.
Ryker flashed a wry smile after hearing that. “Mr. Norton, if these sects and clans wished to join
Warriors Alliance, they would've done so long ago. Why would they wait until now to make the
decision? It is not up to us to decide their participation.”
“Mr. Deragon is right. Most of the sects and families are reluctant to be part of Warriors Alliance
because they feel restricted. There's no way we can force them to join us,” Zion remarked.
“This is easily resolvable. Mr. Edgar obtained a substantial amount of beast cores from the Trial. We
can allocate a portion of the cores as resources to distribute to those willing to join Warriors Alliance.
Not to mention, these new participants can also enjoy Warriors Alliance's other resources. Aside from
the annual Trial, we can add more perks for them. I reckon no one will be able to refuse these benefits,
right?” Skylar said to the other two.
