A Man Like None Other

Chapter 1425 Odd One Out

Edgar’s face fell when he saw Jared swallowing the beast core.

“Mr. Deragon, since Jared has swallowed the beast core, let’s just look past this and move on. Besides, you’re playing by your own rules, and I’m afraid I cannot agree to that,” Astrid said as she took two steps forward.

“She’s right. What are you getting at? Even if the Trial was organized by the Deragons, you cannot take us for fools…”

“That’s right. Why do we have to let the Deragons decide everything? What will become of us then? Are we on the Deragons’ payroll now?”

“Forget it. I’m going back if they insist on proceeding. D*mn it! It’s just an annual event. Why is this getting so complicated now?”

As Astrid voiced out her concerns, many others followed suit.

It was customary in past Trials that resources or treasures obtained during the event would belong to those who fought for them. However, with Edgar’s recent declaration, the loot would all go to the Deragons prior to distribution to others at the Deragons’ absolute discretion. That way, nobody would truly fight in the Trial.

Edgar’s face darkened when he noticed the waves of protests coming his way. In the end, he narrowed his eyes and threw a daggered look at Jared. “Just you wait, Jared. Dragon Island is going to become your grave.”
