A Man Like None Other - Season 10 Episode 4

Ryker’s position as the head of the family didn’t come easy. He made great efforts to obtain that position because his relatives wouldn’t recognize him. He had to kill his father in order to become the head of the family. However, Old Mr. Deragon told Beatrice an important secret before he died. Hence, she was locked up and tortured for more than twenty years by the other Deragons. Ryker was always jealous of Beatrice for their father had always favored his sister and he even gave her pet name, Renalia—a lady with dignified nature and found success in everything she took on.

He treated his position as more important than anything else. Therefore, he would not allow a collateral descendant of the Deragons to interfere with his affairs. They only had to carry out orders obediently.

“I’ll remember that.”

Godrick nodded repeatedly.

“Send a message on behalf of the Deragons. No one is allowed to kill Jared. Otherwise, they will have to face my wrath.”

If Jared turned out to be his nephew, Ryker intended to use him to threaten Beatrice. If Jared died, he would lose his value.

“Understood.” Godrick nodded before leaving.

Soon, another message popped up on the martial arts forum.

It was a message by the Deragons, warning all clans not to kill Jared.

Now that the Warriors Alliance and the Deragons had spoken for Jared, everyone in the martial arts world was shocked.

Nobody knew the reason why the Deragons wanted to protect Jared.

However, they suspected that Jared had something to do with the Deragons.

Only Jared and the Deragons knew about this matter. After all, this was a scandal, and the Deragons couldn’t afford to disclose it to the public.

“Mr. Chance, look.”

Theodore held the message posted on the martial arts forum by the Deragons and looked for Jared hurriedly. “The Deragons also announced to protect you. Do you have any history with them?”

Theodore thought it was odd because he had never heard of Jared’s relationship with the Deragons. If Jared were related to the Deragons, they wouldn’t be able to use their official identity as the Department of Justice as protection in Jadeborough.

Jared took a look at the news and didn’t know why the Deragons posted it. However, he was confident that the Deragons doubted his identity.

Back then, Rayleigh and Draco had warned him to keep a low profile as much as possible to prevent the Deragons from finding out about his existence. This way, Jared could spend more time cultivating.

But at this moment, the Deragons must have suspected his identity. They only posted the message because they wanted to capture Jared alive.

“I have nothing to do with the Deragons. Maybe they saw the message posted by the Warriors Alliance and wanted to ride on their wave,” Jared casually said.

Theodore didn’t question him any further. With the power of the Deragons, they didn’t have to do this. In fact, there were nearly one-third of prestigious families in the martial arts world in Jadeborough under them.

Moreover, the Deragons were prominent in the Warriors Alliance. Their voices were strong, so they did not need to ride on the Warriors Alliance wave.

With the news from the Warriors Alliance and the Deragons in the martial arts forum, Jared would be safe before the competition. No clan would dare to attack Jared unless they no longer value their lives.

After having this protection, Jared took the opportunity to wander around Jadeborough as it was only a few days away from the competition.

Initially, he wanted to see how Leviathan was recovering. Still, in the end, he didn’t manage to go because he knew he was a celebrity in the martial arts world at this moment, and he might cause a disaster if he went to Shadow Estate.

Because he wasn’t very familiar with Jadeborough, Jared made Tristan, a native of Jadeborough, his guide.

Lyanna also followed Jared around. She indulged in the delicacies and visited the places of attraction in Jadeborough. One could only imagine how happy she was.

“Tristan, Jadeborough has always been the imperial capital, and many royal catacombs were here. Now that we’re here, please take us there for a visit.”

Jared wanted Tristan to take him to the royal catacombs.
