Chapter 1680

After Jared arrived at the Gunderson residence, Fernando welcomed him respectfully. He even treated

Evangeline, who remained silent throughout, with utmost care.

Astrid was confused when she saw her father acting like that, unable to understand what had taken

over him.

"Please sit, Mr. Chance..."

Fernando let Jared take his seat, which was designated for the master of the house.

Even though Jared wanted to reject it at first, he saw that Franklin had already sat down at the side.

Left with no choice, Jared could only take the seat while Evangeline stood beside him motionlessly.

"Why did you look for me, Mr. Gunderson?" asked Jared.

Fernando glanced at Astrid. "Go out for a while, Astrid."

"Dad, what is it that I am not supposed to know?" she protested unhappily with a pout.

"Just get out if I tell you to. Why are you asking so many questions?" A cold look appeared on

Fernando's face.

Astrid had no choice but to leave when she saw that. With a casual wave of his hand, Fernando

surrounded them with teleportation magecraft.

Noticing Fernando's mysterious behavior, Jared had a feeling that it was about something important.

"Mr. Chance, Great Elder has relayed a message to us. Now that strange phenomena are being

observed everywhere in heaven and earth, the spiritual energy revival might be coming soon! The

major sects and prestigious families in the eight secret realms are growing restless. Many of them start

to reveal themselves through their representatives in the mundane world. Having stayed concealed for

so many years, exposing themselves at this precise moment implies that a drastic change is going to

befall the martial arts world soon. If it's actually a spiritual energy revival, the eight secret realms will

collapse. Hence, the sects and prestigious families within them will need to gain control over resources

and territory in the mundane world beforehand. Great Elder hopes that you can start preparing now.

When the secret realms collapse, the Gunderson family can quickly reclaim territory and resources

under your lead. That'll secure us some breathing room."

It was hard to digest Fernando's speech in a short moment.

If the secret realms collapsed, the sects and prominent families practicing spiritual energy cultivation

would return to the mundane world, introducing utter chaos.

What would happen to the martial arts world and its people?

After all, the martial arts world could not be compared to the heavenly realm.

"Mr. Gunderson, if the secret realms collapse, doesn't it mean that the martial arts world will be gone

too?" asked Jared.

Such a thought had never crossed his mind. All he wanted was to save Jared and his mother. Coոtent

He had never even considered starting a faction.

Even for the regiments in Dragon Sect, Jared held a laissez-faire attitude and barely took charge of

them.
