The Man's Decree novel Chapter 1704

The next day, all eyes within the martial arts world lay upon the Deragon family, for they would be known as the Deragon Sect going forward.

They were able to recruit more disciples by redesignating themselves from a family to a sect. Godrick, being the competent hand that he was, decorated the venue extravagantly and even gathered together thousands of new disciples.

His goal was to exhibit the Deragon Sect’s power in front of all the prestigious families. “Jared, since today is Deragon Sect’s founding day. I have a present for you,” Godrick suggested mysteriously.

“What is it?” Jared inquired in surprise. “Come with me. You’ll find out soon enough.”

Godrick led Jared to a plaza that was built solely for the founding of Deragon Sect. There, a towering statue loomed over the venue.

At his cue, the piece of red cloth covering it was gradually pulled down. Jared was subsequently stunned to see what was revealed a statue of himself!

The statue was so life-like that it was the mirror image of Jared. “Since when did you start working on this?” the puzzled Jared asked.

“A long time ago in order to give you a surprise, Godrick replied with a smile. Reciprocating with a grin of his own, Jared patted Godrick on the shoulder. “I appreciate it.”

Jared was of the opinion that Godrick was really smart. It was just that his talents were previously suffocated by the amount of pressure Ryker applied on him.

As noon approached, many guests arrived, bearing gifts and well wishes.

Jared received all of them with a humble disposition. Within just the span of half an hour, more than ten sects had arrived to congratulate Jared.

“Marcelo of the Garcia family from the southwest…”

“Royler of the Gracie family from the northeast…”

“Jose of the Danaher family from the east…

The sound of the names shocked Jared and all the other guests, for they belonged to the prestigious families that had recently emerged. Every single one of them was unbelievably powerful.

Verner, in particular, had defeated tens of foes in a single breath, becoming an overnight sensation. Jared, too, was baffled by their sudden appearance, as he didn’t have any relationship with them.

“Mr. Chance, they don’t seem to have come with good intentions. You have to be careful,” Fernando whispered.

Jared instantly understood what was going on. Thus, he nodded in acknowledgment before heading out to receive them.

It would be rude not to welcome his guests, after all. At the same time, Astrid followed behind Jared as he went out.
