Chapter 1450 Why Did You Stop Me
“Screw you, Edgar! I’ll kill you and avenge Jared!”
Howard, who was rolling on the ground, leaped to his feet and charged at Edgar all of a sudden.
His body began to swell up, and his aura levels increased rapidly.
“What the… This guy is planning to self-destruct!” Edgar exclaimed in shock as he quickly backed
away.
Although Howard was only a Martial Arts Grandmaster, an explosion like that within the confined space
of the palace was still highly destructive.
Zion turned around when he heard the commotion. He, too, went pale when he saw Howard preparing
to self-destruct.
“Restrain him before he blows! Hurry!”
Zion knew that the explosion would severely injure them even if it didn’t kill them.

white-colored energy waves at Howard.
The energy waves turned into iron chains upon coming into contact with Howard, restraining him
instantly.
Zion then quickly ran forward and jabbed a finger at Howard’s forehead. The next thing everyone knew,
Howard’s body stopped swelling and slowly returned to its original size.
Seeing as the crisis was averted, Edgar yelled angrily, “You b*stard! How dare you try to self-destruct
and take us with you? I’ll kill you!”
He raised his hand and brought it swiftly down on Howard’s head.
Astrid, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly stepped forward and smacked Edgar’s hand
aside.
The clash was so forceful that it sent them both a few steps back.
Edgar shot Astrid a displeased glare and yelled furiously, “What are you doing, Astrid? Why did you
stop me?”
“Edgar, please keep in mind that Howard is a disciple of a powerful sect within Jadeborough’s martial
arts world. It’d be hardly appropriate for you to kill him off like this,” Astrid replied calmly.
“How is it inappropriate? Everybody knows Trials are dangerous! Are you saying that only disciples
from low-level sects are allowed to die in Trials?” Edgar protested with a defiant snort.
“Ms. Gunderson, the Deragons are the ones organizing this Trial. I suggest you mind your own
business if you wish to gain anything out of it,” Zion said.
Astrid frowned slightly. “President Zeigler, you’re the president of the Warriors Alliance, so I’m sure
you’re well aware of the technique Edgar uses. You’ve seen the number of people who died by his
hand on the shore, haven’t you? He absorbed their powers! Are you planning on letting all of
Jadeborough’s martial arts world practice Demonic Cultivation?”
The look on Zion’s face turned extremely gloomy after being questioned by Astrid.

After filling their bags with beast cores, the people made their way into the palace to see what other
treasures they could find.
They happened to walk in on Astrid’s conversation with Zion and were shocked after hearing what she
said, especially the part about Edgar absorbing the powers of others.
Since Edgar absorbed those people’s powers while everyone was busy killing the demon beasts,
nobody saw him do it.
As such, the participants in the Trial began to panic when they found out Edgar had killed those people.
“What nonsense are you going on about, Astrid? Since when have I absorbed anyone’s powers? My
family is the one organizing this Trial! Do you see all the precious treasures in these ancient ruins? Do
you know how valuable those beast cores out there are? These are all contributions from my family!
How dare you make such baseless accusations?”
Edgar’s words sounded so convincing that most of the participants chose to believe him.
After all, the ancient ruins where the Trial was held belonged to the Deragons. The beast cores
available could sell for an insane amount of money and be used to cultivate lots of powerful fighters.
