Chapter 448Chapter 448 Just A Bunch Of Idiots
“Derek, the rules hold, and I am the one who listed all those rules. Do you really want to challenge
them?”
As Spencer spoke, he moved gracefully over and stood right in front of Derek.
When Jared saw what was playing out in front of him, he moved to the side to give the two men space to
fight. He knew Derek was there to seek vengeance, but he wouldn’t mind letting them fight first. He
would benefit from their fight, anyway.
“Oh, to hell with your stupid rules. Don’t assume you can boss me around just because the Baileys are
supporting Herb Palace. I can still slap you to your death,” growled Derek in distaste.
Spencer was a skilled medical practitioner, and his combat prowess was just enough to reach the
Grandmaster rank. He was undeniably weaker than Derek.
Hence, he was fuming a little when he heard those words.
“Oy, Derek Jantz, do you realize the Baileys are not people you can afford to taunt?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tristan jumped out of the audience and landed on the stage. He had a
few subordinates with him. Every single one of them exuded a powerful aura. It was clear that they were
all in the Grandmaster rank.
Derek’s expression stiffened a little when he saw Tristan there. “Thing is, Mr. Bailey, that Jared guy
murdered a member of my family, so I must kill him to avenge his death.”
The audience gasped after hearing what Derek had said. Many were aware of how Zachariah was
murdered, but they knew nothing specific. In fact, no one but those present at the scene that day knewwhat had happened.
Now that Derek had shared that information, the audience realized that Jared, who killed Baldy with a
single punch, had also killed Zachariah. No wonder he was so gutsy and dared to fight Baldy with only
one hand.
“I don’t care about your revenge. The Herb Palace is the host of this Martial Arts Gathering. I will not
stand idly by if you insist on destroying it,” growled Tristan.
“Can’t you make an exception this one time? Derek is here as the Coopers’ guest, after all.”
After saying that, Franco made his way to the arena as well. He also had a bunch of subordinates who
were all in the Grandmaster rank.
The sudden emergence of those men had the younger martial artists feeling ashamed of themselves.
Jesse, in particular, had clenched his fists as his eyes shone with surprise.
He had always thought of himself as one of the top fighters among the younger generations.
Unfortunately, Tristan and Franco showed up, and they were both stronger than he was. They might
even be stronger than his father, Luke.
At that moment, Jesse finally understood that he had been an ignorant man. I guess the world is much
bigger than I thought, and skilled fighters are more abundant than I had imagined.
Tristan and Franco showing up had undoubtedly saddened the younger martial artists in Jazona. When
Jared was the only powerful one there, they could assume that he was an exception and an outlier. The
continuous emergence of Grandmasters who were in their twenties. That was a little difficult for the
others to ignore their own obvious weakness.Tristan didn’t respond directly to Franco. The former simply turned to Jared and said, “This is how the
situation is right now. If you agree to my terms, I will help you deal with this matter. If you don’t… well, I’m
sure you know what the consequences will be.”
He was blackmailing Jared in broad daylight for the recipe. It was the perfect opportunity to make that
threat.
Jared sneered in distaste. “They’re just a bunch of idiots. I’m not afraid of them.”
Tristan was taken aback when he heard what Jared said. Derek was much stronger than Zachariah, and
the former had Franco on his side. They also had a few subordinates who were ranked as
Grandmasters. Jared, on the other hand, was on his own. I can’t believe he has the guts to say
something like that!
“Okay, in that case, I’ll sit back and watch the show.”
Tristan led his men to the side of the arena. Spencer followed closely behind and whispered, “Mr. Bailey,
are you really going to let Derek kill Jared? If that happens, we won’t be able to get the recipe.”
