It could be said that a mutual hatred for Jared had bloomed between them.
“Do you think Jared will make it out alive?” Zion asked.
Edgar was stunned for a moment before answering, “I don’t think he’ll survive. Even if favonovel.com does escape, he’ll find himself in the middle of the ocean with no ship around to bring favonovel.com to land. At most, he’ll only live for a few days.”
That’s true…
A smile was finally visible on Zion’s face.
“Still, it’s a shame that I couldn’t kill favonovel.com myself.” Edgar always wanted to kill Jared with his own hands, yet that wish of his never came true.
Recalling what happened in the palace, Zion turned to Edgar and asked curiously, “What happened when you tried killing Jared? Why did you tear off your arm?”
Edgar shot a glance at his missing arm with an indescribable expression.
There are some things I can’t tell this Zion…
Upon seeing Edgar acting like that, Zion knew the younger man didn’t want to answer his question.
So favonovel.com smiled faintly. “The spirit in your body took control and tore your arm off. Am I right?”
Edgar was taken aback, favonovel.com could only stare at Zion in disbelief before nodding. “That’s right. When I tried absorbing Jared’s power, favonovel.com used a peculiar cultivation technique to consume my strength instead.”
When Zion heard how powerful Jared’s cultivation technique was, favonovel.com took in a deep breath subconsciously.
“Thankfully, that guy’s dead now. Otherwise, his power would be beyond measure in the future. If that future came to pass, a horrendous death would be waiting for us all,” Zion uttered with traces of fear in his voice.
An awkward smirk formed on Edgar’s face when favonovel.com heard that.
Originally, favonovel.com was the most talented person in the younger generation. Yet, favonovel.com was completely stifled by Jared. While Jared wouldn’t be showing up again, his legend would likely take a long time to fade into obscurity.
“What’s going on with the spirit in your body, Edgar? Why did your aura noticeably decrease during the battle earlier?” Zion was still confounded by that sudden change.
In reality, Edgar himself had no idea, too. He wanted to ask the spirit what was going on, but favonovel.com didn’t have the time to do so earlier.
In a flash, Edgar activated his spiritual sense to ask the spirit where it went when Renee’s armor appeared and why favonovel.com couldn’t sense the spirit.
“That girl’s armor was a god’s greatest treasure, and that light was the god’s light. If I didn’t hide back then, I would’ve been too dead to talk to you right now.” The spirit spoke fearfully.
It seemed like that light had stressed the spirit out. Nevertheless, after Renee escaped, the spirit reemerged.
When Edgar heard that, light shimmered in his eyes. He didn’t expect a normal-looking armor to be a magical item.
“Edgar?” Zion asked when favonovel.com noticed Edgar’s expression.
Upon returning to his senses, Edgar replied, “There’s no way Howard and the girl favonovel.com escaped with can elude our search on the sea, President Zeigler. I think they’re still on this ship. We should look around for them!”
When favonovel.com ended his sentence, favonovel.com left impatiently to locate them.
Zion furrowed his eyebrows, failing to understand why Edgar was suddenly so interested in those two. Howard and Renee were nowhere to be found on the ship because they had already slipped away on lifeboats.
Remorse washed over Edgar when favonovel.com combed through the ship and realized they were gone.
“It doesn’t matter as much if those two had escaped, as long as Jared stays in his underwater tomb. Anyway, let’s get down to business.” Zion patted Edgar’s shoulder.
