The Man's Decree

Chapter 1272 I Am Still Alive
In Jadeborough’s Department of Justice, Mr. Sanders knew a dozen of the Nortons had been killed. “Theodore, who do you think
is the culprit?” he asked Theodore.
“Mr. Sanders, I don’t have a firm answer. However, David killed Mr. Chance not long ago, and Mr. Chance used to have many
loyal subordinates. Therefore, anyone from the Village of Villains, Shadow Estate, and Medicine God Sect could be our suspect.
Nevertheless, I guess the culprit isn’t that strong, for he only murdered Senior Grandmasters after killing two Martial Arts
Grandmasters,” Theodore analyzed.
“By the way, I wonder why Jared had such a strong charisma that could make so many people stay loyal to him...” Mr. Sanders
said in bewilderment.
Theodore shook his head and responded, “I’m not sure about it. As far as I know, they respected Mr. Chance and always abided
by his orders.”
“Do you think everything that happened in the past two days was done by Jared?” Mr. Sanders suddenly asked.
Theodore was startled for a while before replying, “Mr. Sanders, are you suspecting that Mr. Chance is still alive?”
“I still find it difficult to believe Jared would die so easily!” Mr. Sanders said and heaved a sigh.
Confidently, Theodore shook his head and answered, “I’m sure it wasn’t done by Mr. Chance. In fact, he might have made an
entrance by barging into the Norton residence and fighting David to the end. Assassinating someone in the dark is just not Mr.
Chance’s style.”
Before Theodore could finish, Jared came into the room while laughing heartily. “Haha. I never thought General Jackson could
understand me so well...”
Theodore widened his eyes in disbelief upon seeing Jared.
“Mr.-Mr. Chance, are y-you still alive?”

Theodore couldn’t believe his eyes. Based on the pictures he saw earlier, Jared’s body was severely injured beyond the point of
recognition.
“Mr. Sanders is right. How can I possibly die so easily?”
Then, Jared smiled and slightly bowed at Mr. Sanders to greet him. “Mr. Sanders—”
Meanwhile, Mr. Sanders burst into a fit of laughter. “Hahaha. It appears that my guess was right. You won’t die so easily! Not only
do you stay alive, but you have also made a breakthrough.”
Mr. Sanders was delighted upon knowing that Jared was alive.
“Yes, I’ve achieved Martial Arts Marquis.” Jared nodded.
“Mr. Chance, what happened? David boasted that he killed you and even backed his claim with photos! Also, are you related to
the recent assassinations of members of the Norton family?”
Feeling bewildered, Theodore wished to find out the truth.
Jared had no intention of hiding it and slowly explained what happened during his battle with David. Theodore and Mr. Sanders
couldn’t help but feel nervous as they listened to him.
Later, Theodore was shocked when he knew Jared had obtained an unexpected reward—becoming a Martial Arts Marquis.
“As for the Nortons who had been assassinated, I have no idea who is behind it. After all, I’ve just arrived at Jadeborough today
and heard it from others.”
It took him three days to rush to Jadeborough.
Once Jared set foot in the city, he didn’t head toward the Norton residence but came to the Department of Justice instead. He
intended to spread the news that he was still alive.
Moreover, he intended to humiliate David in the martial arts forum to establish his authority.
“Jared, what do you plan to do next since you’ve chosen to come back?” Mr. Sanders asked Jared.

Jared’s expression turned frosty as he said coldly, “I want to challenge David and the entire Norton family. I want everyone to
know the consequences of offending me!”
Mr. Sanders sensed Jared’s murderous aura and didn’t utter a word.
