Chapter 686 I Admit Defeat
Xander furrowed his brows. “Jared, I have admitted defeat. What else do you want?”
“Admitted defeat?” Jared smirked. “When I offered to spare you if you apologized on your knees, you rejected it.
Therefore, there’s no way I’m going to let you leave today.”
“Do you want to kill me then?” Xander didn’t expect Jared to not let him go despite his submission.
“Today’s battle was to the death. If I had lost, would you have spared me?” Jared said with a grim expression.
The truth was he had never planned to let Xander leave alive. He believed that showing the enemy mercy would
only result in one’s demise. Evidently, he wasn’t a man with compassion in the face of his enemy.
When the crowd heard that Jared wanted to kill Xander, they gaped in shock.
It’s unbelievable that a Senior Grandmaster is insisting on killing a Martial Arts Grandmaster. On top of that, the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCooper family is present with many Senior Grandmasters among them. Does Jared plan to take on the entire
Cooper family alone?
“Jared, you had better not go overboard. My brother has admitted defeat, and yet, you insist on taking his life.
Don’t you dare assume that the Cooper family is afraid of you!”
Sean stepped forward while the rest of the Cooper family surrounded Jared.
“Sean, today’s battle to the death is between me and Xander. All of you should back off if you do not wish to die. Or
else, no one is going to leave this place alive.”
With a solemn look on his face, Jared unleashed a murderous aura.
“This is Horington, not Jadeborough. If you think you can cause trouble for Mr. Chance, you have certainly picked
the wrong place.”
Tommy jumped out of the crowd, followed by Phoenix, Theodore, Samuel, Luke, and many other prominent figures
of the Jazona martial arts world.
At the same time, members of both the Templar and Phoenix Regiments, who were in charge of security, swarmed
in and surrounded Xander and his men.
“Sean, this battle is between Mr. Chance and Xander based on the challenge Xander issued himself. Therefore, are
you trying to wiggle your way out just because you outnumber him?” Samuel asserted as he glared at Sean.
“Sean, as the General of the Department of Justice, I don’t care who wins or loses in a legal duel. However, if you
don’t respect the rules, I cannot sit idly by and ignore your actions,” Theodore warned them sternly.
He had long been irritated by the sight of them. Furthermore, he was furious when they compared him to a dog in
the break room earlier.
“Hmph, how dare you try and intimidate us with your numbers. Although there are fewer of us, these are the
Cooper family elites who are at least Fifth Level Grandmasters. In fact, there are even a few Senior Grandmasters

had no intention of backing down.
There was no way he would allow Xander to be killed. Without Xander, the Cooper family would collapse.
Theodore and the others were filled with frustration because Sean was right. Even though they had more people,
there weren’t many of them who were stronger than Grandmasters. As for the rest of their men, some hadn’t even
trained on their energy before. Consequently, strength in numbers was futile in the face of elite martial artists.
At that moment, the situation fell into a stalemate where no one dared to move or leave. All that was left was a
tense Mexican standoff.
“Let me mediate this situation,” Axton suddenly suggested before walking gradually into the crowd.
As he strode forward, an invisible force opened a path in front of him by splitting apart the crowd.
With Donald following Axton from behind, both of them walked to the center of the group.
While many in the crowd were curious to know who Axton was, Xander, Samuel, and Theodore were shocked to see
him.
