Chapter 924 The Trial
The next day, Jared headed to Shadow Estate. He had not seen Leviathan ever since he swallowed the
rejuvenating pill. Thus, he was unaware of how the latter’s recovery was coming along.
Other than checking on Leviathan, Jared had another objective. He wanted to ask Leviathan whether the
latter had any ideas on how to excavate the ancient tomb he had discovered.
There was no way Jared could dig it up alone, let alone do so without anyone knowing.
Given that the Shadow Estate had been established for a long time, Jared wanted to seek Leviathan’s
opinion on the matter.
“Mr. Chance…”
Upon Jared’s arrival, Leviathan greeted him personally by prostrating himself at the former’s feet.
However, Jared caught hold of him and quickly helped him up.
“How are you feeling now?” Jared asked.

effects. It’s all thanks to the rejuvenating pill you have given me. Also, Col has told me everything,”
Leviathan answered.
“I’m glad to hear that. The reason I came is that I need your advice on something.” Jared got straight to
the point.
“Let’s talk inside then,” Leviathan ushered Jared into the house.
After the servants were dismissed, Jared and Leviathan were the only ones left in the room.
“My Lord, do you want to ask me about Ichiro? I heard that you beat him in the competition today, “
Leviathan asked.
Jared shook his head before telling Leviathan about the ancient tomb he discovered, giving the latter a
shock.
After all, many specialists had searched the outskirts of Jadeborough but never found any ancient tombs,
let alone an imperial mausoleum. Furthermore, if there truly was an ancient tomb nearby, the famous
grave-robbing family, the Henckles, would have already found out about it.
“My Lord, are you sure that it’s an ancient tomb?” Leviathan reconfirmed.
“Without a doubt!” Jared nodded.
After falling into deep thought, Leviathan replied with an awkward expression, “My Lord, if you plan on
excavating the tomb in secret, I’m afraid it’s close to impossible, for we are in Jadeborough. Given that
it’s near other imperial tombs, any excavations would be easily noticed.”
In truth, Jared recognized the difficulty of the task because the tomb was located in a tourist area with
heavy foot traffic. As a result, it was hard to carry out any clandestine actions.
“In that case, we’ll have to leave it for another day. Fortunately, I have used an arcane array to hide the
tomb. Any ordinary person wouldn’t be able to find it,” Jared remarked in resignation.
“My Lord, we are forbidden from excavating imperial mausoleums such as this. Therefore, it’s useless
even if you found one. Instead, you can use your discovery to obtain a place in this year’s Trial,”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeviathan suggested.
“Trial? What Trial?” Jared looked baffled.
“It’s an event organized by the government and the Warriors Alliance to improve the populace’s morale.
They would pick a place where all the young martial artists could train,” Leviathan explained the annual
Trial to Jared.
After listening to Leviathan, Jared’s interest was piqued. Not only could the event boost citizens’ morale
but also reduce the conflicts among the prominent families.
Jared finally left after spending half a day at Shadow Estate. Considering how concerned Theodore was
about the team event three days later, Jared focused his time on recovering, so that he would be in his
peak condition and able to keep the members of the Department of Justice safe from any harm. Since
many of them had gone through thick and thin with Theodore, he was naturally worried about their
safety.
