Chapter 785 The Jade of Heaven
It was as if a stone was thrown into the lake.
Jara's heart trembled. He couldn't explain why, but somehow he began to feel a little distress.
With a sullen face, he remained gloomy, but his eyes darkened a little.
"Emmeline, I said, come here, let's discuss about it again."
"There's nothing to discuss."
Emmeline's voice was a little cold, hinting at an obvious sense of exhaustion. "Jara, you lost the game to me today. Didn't we agree the loser would owe the winner a favor?"
Hearing that, Jara didn't say anything.
Then, she continued, "Consider it this then. From now on, there is no need for us to meet again. If we do meet again, it will be on life or death terms. I have told you before that I won't let my people in the Salvation Club to die in vain."
After finishing her words, she ignored him and turned to walk outside.
Suddenly, she heard him shouting from behind. "Stop her!"
As soon as he finished his words, several strong men leaped out from the shadows and stood in front of Emmeline.
At that moment, Emmeline's face turned completely cold.
Turning around, she looked at Jara and asked coldly, "Do you really want me to make a move?"
Jara knew that Emmeline was no longer the same person from four years ago. After living in prison for four years, she had become tougher. Regardless of her combat skills or moves, they were both more polished and exquisite.
However, this was not the reason why she could leave.
She might have an upper hand in terms of combat skills, but how could she defeat all of these people here?
Even if she could put down everyone here, there were still too many people in the castle. Would she be able to take down everyone and fight her way out?
Therefore, he was not worried that she would leave.
However, seeing her reaction, he somehow felt a sense of uneasiness. He couldn't explain it clearly, but he felt that if she really left today, he would have lost her forever.
Subsequently, he strode over, grabbing her hand, as he said in a low voice, "Come with me."
After he finished his words, he was already dragging her upstairs in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, Emmeline did not resist.
First of all, she was aware of her current circumstances. If Jara was determined to hold her back by force, she would not be able to escape.
Second of all, in the depths of her heart, she was actually looking forward to hear what he actually wanted to say to her.
What else was there to say?
On the way to the study, Emmeline felt pain in her wrist as he held her tightly, but she didn't say anything about it. He didn't let go of her until they arrived at the study.
After entering the room, Jara's face darkened as he walked straight to his desk.
Looking up at her, he realized she was still standing at the same spot. Although she looked grim, it was not as cold as before.
"Come here!"
He shouted.
Without a word, Emmeline walked over and saw Jara taking out a document under his desk.
"You can make your decision after reading this."
As he said that, he tossed the document to her.
Feeling a little confused, Emmeline took it and turned the pages.
After flipping through the pages, her face changed greatly.
In an instant, she closed the file and looked at him in disbelief, as she asked, "How could this happen?"
At this moment, Jara had completely calmed down.
He thought to himself that finally, he had told her what she should've known.
Somehow, he had been reluctant to reveal such a cruel truth to her. Even if he hated the fact that she betrayed him, there was still a voice at the bottom of his heart telling him that maybe she was not responsible for what had happened back then.
The Salvation Club was not the only organization that had its confidential information leaked. The same happened to Lost Vanguard too.
Sandwiched between the two organizations, there was no benefit for Emmeline to stir up a deadly fight in them.
However, at that time, all the evidence was pointed to her, so he had to make a response. Otherwise, he could not explain it to his subordinates.
Thinking of this, he exhaled deeply and said in a low voice, "Continue until you reach the end. Read till the very last page."
With that, Emmeline did as intructed and continued to read.
The further she went, the more shocking she felt.
Surprisingly, it was a list of the members of the Salvation Club and the Lost Vanguard. In the beginning, the two organizations were not hostile against each other.
In fact, the two organizations seemed to share a bond and often helped each other.
If that wasn't the case, Emmeline, who left the Lost Vanguard in a fit of pique, wouldn't have joined the Salvation Club in the blink of an eye.
So, at that time, two organizations were actually closely communicating with each other, and the members didn't have their guards up.
But it was exactly because of this that both parties had become negligent.
In this document, the details clearly described the people who survived the big fight, along with their personal information and whereabouts.
After looking closely, she realized that many had changed their names and left for an organization called the Icarus Association.
On paper, they all died at the fight, including her people.
But now, these people actually had a new identity and names, and were all alive and well.
It turned out that, they didn't die. What was dead was the friendship between them.
When she realized that, Emmeline couldn't believe it. It was as if she had been hit by an axe in the head, making a buzzing sound while suddenly her mind went blank.
Her body was trembling, and her face was as white as a sheet while she took a step back.
Fortunately, she managed to grab hold of the table to stable herself, then muttered, "Impossible, how could it be like this? They, they..."
Looking at her calmly, Jara said, "Do you still remember what causes the fall out of the two organizations?"
After Emmeline was silent for a moment, she uttered the four words, "The Jade of Heaven."
"Yes, it is the Jade of Heaven."
Five years ago, a document appeared out of nowhere, and it was said that there was a treasure, the Jade of Heaven, that had existed for more than two thousand years. The treasure was able to bring the dead back to life and provide immortality.
To be honest, when Emmeline first heard of the rumor, she thought it was ridiculous.
But then, one incident changed her mind.
With her own eyes, she had seen that under the treatment of the Jade of Heaven, a gunshot wound on the head of a person could heal at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
She would never forget the shock she felt at that time.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never believe that there was such a bizarre thing in the world.
With only a small piece of jade, the wound could actually heal by itself and bring someone back to life?
How was that possible?
However, no matter whether she believed it or not, there were many people who had witnessed the miracle at that time.
Everyone's eyes were filled with greed. When they realized how valuable the treasure was, they all wanted to own it.
However, the only Jade of Heaven had already been used.
