The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6102

After leaving the side chamber, Vivian did not return to her own quarters. She headed straight toward the depths of Janis Manor.

Passing through several courtyards, she stopped before an imposing hall. A plaque above the doorway bore three characters: "Council Hall."

Eight guards stood on either side of the massive doors, each at High Immortal Realm Level Six.

When they saw Vivian approach, they all bowed.

"Miss Janis."

Vivian answered with a slight nod and pushed the doors open.

Bright lamps filled the hall with light. In the central seat sat an elderly man, silver streaks threading his hair.

Every blink of the old man's eyes flashed with cold light, and the aura rolling off him was as deep as the sea—unmistakably that of a True Immortal.

He was none other than the Patriarch of The Janis Family, Vivian's father, Garrick.

On the purple sandalwood chairs flanking the hall sat six elders of The Janis Family. Thick spiritual pressure rolled off every one of them; even the weakest had reached High Immortal Realm Level Nine.

The moment Vivian entered, every set of eyes in the room snapped toward her in perfect unison.

Garrick gave a small nod. "Vivian, how did the marriage tournament go?"

Vivian walked to the center of the hall, bowed to her father and to the assembled elders, and then straightened.

"Father, the tournament already has a winner."

At that, the elders visibly perked up.

"Who is it?"

The red-faced elder could not wait. "Is it Dominic of House Wagner?"

Vivian shook her head. "No."

"No?"

The red-faced elder blinked in surprise. "Dominic is High Immortal Realm Level Nine and bears the Crimson Auric Bloodline—no youth in Cloudhaven City can compare. Other than him, who else could have cleared the Four-Pillar Test?"

Vivian drew a steady breath and, spacing each word, said,

"His name is Jared."

"Jared?"

The white-haired elder frowned. "That name… I feel I have heard it somewhere before."

Vivian nodded. "Sharp memory, Elder. He is the very Jared on the Celestial Palace's wanted list—the man who destroyed the Skyreach Path, slew the Grand Venerable, and caused chaos on the Sacred Mountain."

Her words detonated in the hall; shock rippled across every face.

"What?!"

"Him?!"

"The Jared with a bounty of fifty thousand bottles of celestial elixir?!"

The elders looked at one another, disbelief flooding their eyes.

The red-faced elder shot to his feet. "Vivian, are you mad? The Celestial Palace is hunting this man. Bringing him into The Janis Family is courting disaster!"

Vivian's expression stayed calm as she replied,

"Please, Elder, don't be alarmed. Precisely because he is the Palace's most-wanted, he is the person our family needs most."

The elders froze, taken aback.

Vivian continued, "Elders, do you remember what sort of person we have been seeking?"

The white-haired elder mused aloud, "Someone with a Draconian Bloodline…"

His eyes widened. "You mean—"

Vivian nodded, giving each syllable weight.

"Jared carries the Golden Dragon Bloodline—the royal blood among the Draconians."

An instant hush fell over the hall.

It was so quiet that a pin drop would have echoed.

After a long pause, Garrick finally spoke.
