Chapter 906 All Is Fair in War
"However, I can assure you that you will not be happy when the time comes because you will soon experience the same thing."
"Without us blocking in front of you, Lost Vanguard, Ethanbez Family, Jordan Family, and even the other few Ascijan families will follow in our footsteps and be devastated one by one."
"When that day comes, none of us will be winners. All of the effort we've put in will be for the benefit of others. Do you think it is worthwhile?"
Jara still didn't say anything.
However, the coldness in his gaze began to subside.
Of course, Skylar wouldn't let go of this subtle change.
While the iron was hot, he continued to strike, "I know what you want. In fact, you just want to find out where Emmeline is, although you appear like it's for the benefits."
"Now I can tell you clearly that Emmeline is not in our hands, and the traitor who sold Grayclouds has been killed."
"So, even if you eliminate the Icarus Association, you won't be able to locate her. But now I'm going to make a wild guess."
Jara said in a deep voice, "Speak!"
Skylar continued, "The mysterious force is about to destroy the Icarus Association now. If we are gone, you must be their next target. As we all know, there is a barrier between Uqobia and Doscea. Although Lost Vanguard is not as powerful as the Icarus Association, they are more difficult to defeat due to terrain advantages."
"And at this time, Lost Vanguard will become the toughest organization in Doscea and Uqobia. The forces can't defeat them, so what will they do next?"
Jara's brows knitted tightly together.
Skylar said, "Attacks! They will find your weakness and attack you when you're caught off guard. I'm afraid you'll be duped when the time comes. After all, everyone has a weak point, the kind where you'll jump even if you know it's a death trap. Take, for example, Emmeline, your beloved woman."
Hearing this, Jara gave a violent shudder.
His pupils contracted.
Then he said in a low voice, "Do you mean that Emmeline is in their hands?"
"This is just my guess," Skylar spread his hands and continued, "There is no definite evidence to prove it. You can believe it or dismiss it as a ruse to get you to agree to a temporary reconciliation. It is entirely up to you to make a decision."
Immediately, Jara's face darkened.
He didn't say anything as if he was carefully considering something. Skylar, on the other hand, was not in a hurry and sat calmly waiting.
Time passed by bit by bit.
After a long time, he suddenly said, "Okay, I got it!"
As he spoke, he stood up.
Skylar looked at him expectantly. "Then about the negotiation..."
"Negotiation?"
In response, Jara raised his eyebrows and gazed at him with a few traces of mockery.
"Let's do it in the next life!"
At this moment, strange noises could be heard as he ended his sentence.
Skylar and others were shocked. Just as he was about to get up, an iron chain suddenly stretched out from the chair and immobilized his body. The iron chain that sprang out of nowhere also pinned the two men behind him.
Only then did Skylar realize he had gotten himself into a trap.
He could not help but shout in anger, "Jara, how dare you set me up!"
Jara smiled coldly, "Apologies. This is called 'all is fair in war'!"
After that, he dashed out like a flying bird.
Just as they left the coffeehouse.
"Boom— !"
There was a loud explosion, and the entire place was suddenly plunged into a sea of smoke.
Meanwhile, at this time, Jara and the rest had already arrived in the car.
In the car, Quan was already sitting there. He didn't follow Jara this time since he had gone to prepare the explosives and mechanisms ahead of time.
Seeing that he had returned safely at this point, he promptly remarked, "Everything has been done according to your orders, boss. What's next?"
"We will act according to the circumstances," Jara replied flatly.
"Yes, sir."
It was just noon when they returned to the castle.
Because it was a tumultuous period, the castle's security was tight. There were at least ten layers of hidden traps from inside to outside. There were also all kinds of infrared and ultraviolet scanning equipment.
The car slowed down as it approached the black carved gate. Uncle Poick recognized him from afar and smiled as he approached.
"Mr. Holland, you're finally back."
"How's the situation at home?" Jara inquired as he stepped out of the car.
Uncle Poick quickly replied, "Everything is fine. Mr. and Mrs. Jordan are waiting for you in the living room. They said they have something to discuss with you."
After that, Jara nodded and headed into the living room.
Clarissa and Anderson sat there.
Clarissa's face lit up with a smile when she saw Jara walk in. She rose to her feet and extended her hand to him.
"Congratulations on your safe return."
Speaking of diplomacy this time, Jara had made the first move.
However, no one knew who was plotting against him before he went, so he still took a gamble this time.
After all, Skylar didn't have such an idea this time. If he truly intended to engage in a life-or-death battle, the person who would die today was still unknown.
Jara's eyes darkened somewhat as he stared at the slender hand in front of him, but he still reached out to shake her hand.
Then, Clarissa sat down with a grin, saying, "I have both good and bad news for you. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Jara took a seat in front of them and took over the cup of tea from the servant. "Good news," he murmured as he took a sip.
"I thought you'd listen to the bad news first," Clarissa chuckled as she raised her eyebrows.
Jara sneered.
"Life is short, and I relish the pleasures that come along with it. Why should I listen to it first when I know it's bad news?"
Hearing his response, Clarissa couldn't help but burst into a laugh.
"Okay, then I'll talk about it first."
She sat up straight. "An hour ago, I received word that an unknown force has been attacking the Icarus Association. I investigated it and learned that they are not the ones who are now supporting us. Whatever their goal is, it is only beneficial to us for the time being."
As he glanced at her and inquired, "So what is the bad news?" Jara's face was as calm as a millpond.
Clarissa went on, "The bad news is that I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat them now. And according to Anderson's speculation, they aren't just targeting the Icarus Association. That is to say, once the Icarus Association falls, you and I should be the next targets."
