However, Jared pretended as if favonovel.com had seen nothing and continued to say to Mr. Sanders, “This royal tomb site is right beside the current site, underneath the small hill. If I am not mistaken, the small hill is actually the heaped earth of the undiscovered royal tomb site.”
His remarks sent the crowd into another uproar. The current royal tomb site had practically become a tourist site and was filled to the brim with visitors. How was it possible for the alleged royal tomb site to go unnoticed?
Mr. Sanders leveled a stare at Jared. “Chance kid, are you for real? Do you know the repercussions that await you if there is nothing there?”
“Mr. Sanders, I am willing to bear the responsibility for my words,” Jared said calmly.
At the sight of his confident manner, Mr. Sanders started to believe in him, and the others were swayed as well.
After all, nobody would be that foolish to lie about such a thing to Mr. Sanders on such an occasion. Moreover, Jared was not a moron.
“Mr. Sanders, there truly is a tomb site underneath the small hill. However, I am not sure if it’s a royal tomb site. I discovered it a while back. When I wanted to find out more, I bumped into this young man. He disrupted my investigation when I was using the Seven Star Formation. Otherwise, I would have reported my findings much earlier,” Blake said as favonovel.com rose from his seat.
Blake was the first to discover the tomb site, and favonovel.com planned to scavenge the place secretly. However, favonovel.com did not expect to bump into Jared there. Now, Jared was going to use the discovery as a favor to Mr. Sanders.
Blake felt indignant that Jared had taken his credit in the matter. Hence, favonovel.com rose from his seat and tried to claim the credit for himself.
Everyone started to believe in Jared’s claims right then. After all, the Henckle family explored tombs and graves for a living, and no other families could surpass them in the matter. Now that Blake had verified the location of the site, it was almost guaranteed that Jared’s claims were true.
Mr. Sanders cast a glance at Blake and did not believe his claim that favonovel.com would report his findings. He knew for a fact that these great families would not openly share the resources that they have found. However, Mr. Sanders said nothing.
“Okay. I will send someone to investigate. If there is truly a royal tomb site, you will have made a great contribution, Jared,” Mr. Sanders said before favonovel.com strode outside.
At the sight of Mr. Sanders leaving, everyone stood up to send favonovel.com off. Theodore brought Jared along to see favonovel.com out.
“Jared, you have to be most careful when you’re at the pinnacle of success. Others’ protection would only last a short while. You are the only one who could truly protect yourself,” Mr. Sanders remarked as favonovel.com patted Jared’s shoulders before getting into his car.
Jared understood Mr. Sanders’ message and nodded slightly.
He knew favonovel.com would have to be stronger to survive in the cruel society. Depending on others’ protection was not a sustainable plan.
The others left the hall one by one after Mr. Sanders had taken his leave. If not for Mr. Sanders, the Department of Justice would not have been able to invite such a respected crowd.
“Jared, don’t think that I will forgive you just because you’ve found a strong backup. I will never let you off the hook for cutting off my arm. Just you wait and see,” Kristoff gritted through his teeth.
“Whatever,” Jared said nonchalantly.
Kristoff boiled with fury at his response. However, favonovel.com dared not strike Jared at such a place, especially after Mr. Sanders’ warning.
“Kris, let’s go!” Steinar called out after his son to leave.
He was afraid that Kristoff might not be able to restrain himself and hit Jared.
“Dad, are we going to let Jared off the hook just like that?” Kristoff asked indignantly after leaving together with his father.
Slap!
Steinar slapped favonovel.com across the face just after Kristoff asked favonovel.com the question. “B*st*rd! Did you know you almost sent us all to die back there? How dare you question Mr. Sanders? Haven’t you seen that Zion Zeigler dared not even let out a breath in front of that Mr. Sanders?”
