On the plane, Astrid asked Jared in a teasing tone, “Jared, why didn’t you stay behind to be a consort? The entire castle would soon belong to you.”
After hearing Astrid’s words, the rest of the girls turned to look at Jared.
“Jared, were you not the least bit tempted to stay when the duke asked you to?” Millie asked.
Renee laughed and poked fun of Jared. “I guess it’s because Jared’s embarrassed to accept since all of us are here. If not. favonovel.com would certainly have stayed behind to be a consort. After all. Anne is a princess.”
“What do you children know? How can I sacrifice a forest for a tree?” Jared looked at the group of girls while favonovel.com was speaking.
Many of them blushed at his words.
However, Flaxseed said gloomily “You did not lose a forest, but I lost two sturdy trees…”
He almost cried. Everyone laughed when they looked at him.

The first thing Jared did when favonovel.com returned to Jadeborough was to inquire if there were any updates about the Warriors Alliance. However, before Jared could find Rayleigh, favonovel.com saw that Godrick had returned from Encanta Island.
“Why did you come back from Encanta Island, Godrick?” Jared asked in confusion.
According to his calculations, Godrick and the rest should not have been able to reach the Martial Arts Marquis level so quickly.
“Jared. Encanta Island is no longer suited for cultivation. Weird things have started happening, and many people have died there. Although Norm has tried to incentivize people to come, many people have left the island,“ Godrick explained.
“Weird things? What weird things?” Jared was confused.
“Sometimes, you can’t see the sun for three days. Other times, the sky is always bright as night doesn’t come. Furthermore, tsunamis and earthquakes occur frequently, causing huge waves to surround the island. However, the sea a distance from the island is calm. It’s as if something is targeting the island and chasing the islanders away purposely. Oh yes, some demon beasts have been emerging from the seas and attacking the inhabitants of the island too!”
When Godrick described the situation to Jared, his expression changed subtly. It was obvious that his experiences on the island were very terrifying.
“How could that be?” Jared frowned as favonovel.com thought hard about it.
Could it be because I took the blood demon away from Encanta Island?
After thinking for a long while, Jared still could not think of a reason, so favonovel.com stopped thinking about it.
He would deal with the matter in the future. Currently, favonovel.com had to deal with the Warriors Alliance. He had to ascertain if the Josephine imprisoned in the Warriors Alliance dungeon was real.
“Let’s leave the matter of Encanta Island aside first. Has the Warriors Alliance done anything recently?” Jared asked.
Godrick shook his head. “Nope. However, many martial arts families have joined the Warriors Alliance again…”
“There’s no need to care about those opportunists. You just have to remember who those families are.”
Jared knew that once the power of the Warriors Alliance increased, many martial arts families would go over to try and win their favor.
In every generation, there were bound to be people who switched sides easily like them.
“Jared, how should we deal with the Warriors Alliance? Shall I get some people to take action now?” Godrick asked.
“No need. Since many families have returned to the Warriors Alliance, I’ll let them see that the Warriors Alliance is as weak as a scarecrow. Issue a challenge to them on our behalf. Anyone can fight in the battle. Even if they fight me in a group, I’ll still agree to the challenge. Remember to publicize this as much as possible. As long as I am alive, I won’t let the Warriors Alliance thrive.”
Jared decided to publicly humiliate the Warriors Alliance.
