The King Of Warriors (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4972

Chapter 4972 The Mysterious Stranger
“Lord Jovan, you know better than anyone that gathering all those things can't happen overnight,” Jared said. “Let me send word to Lord Maceo. He'll have everything ready within three days and send it straight to you.”

“Of course, we'll remain here in Winged Tiger City during that time. But you'll be responsible for keeping us and Bastian safe,” Jared demanded.

“No problem,” Jovan replied. “I want territory and resources. Your lives mean nothing to me.” He extended a hand, shaking Jared's. For Jovan, the negotiation had gone unusually smoothly.

As Jared stepped out of the room, Madman and Eason rushed over.

“Jared, how did it go?” Madman asked.

“It went well,” Jared said with a grin.

“He didn't try to extort us too hard, did he?” Madman questioned.

Jared shook his head. “It's fair. He asked for a million celestial coins, a hundred years' worth of resources, and that Treasure Land.”

“What?” Eason's eyes went wide. “That's a hefty price. You didn't actually agree, did you?”

“Of course I did. He could've asked for all of Rhino City, and I still would've agreed. After all, I never planned to give him any of it,” Jared said casually.

“You're not giving it to him?” Eason blinked in disbelief.

“Not a chance. I'm just buying time. We'll get Bastian out of here without handing over a single thing to Winged Tiger City,” Jared said with a smile.

“Jared, we passed through so many cities and checkpoints. Won't it be really difficult to break him out?” Madman asked, brows furrowed.

“There's always a way,” Jared said, voice light but confident. “We've still got time to figure it out.”
