Chapter 2650 Who Is Jared

Chapter 2650 Who Is JaredThe other disciples of Emerald Cauldron Sect cowered in fear, keeping their heads down and avoiding
Helius' gaze.
Only Jared lifted his head and observed Helius closely, undeterred.
Helius turned to glance at Jared too, and when their eyes locked, Jared showed no fear.
After a brief moment of confrontation, Helius turned his attention away from Jared.
Soon, the two elders were done with dealing the punishment to themselves. Helius then asked them,
“Even from the mountain at the back, I sensed an incredibly powerful aura rampaging in Emerald
Cauldron Sect. What on earth is going on?”
Ebenez and Ghaylen exchanged anxious glances before Ebenez struggled to speak with his swollen
mouth. “Helius, a rebellious disciple summoned the ultimate demon beast from the Octo Ruler just now.
The powerful aura you felt came from that demon beast!”
Furrowing his brows, Helius responded, “He dared to summon the ultimate demon beast? If it were to
get out of control, Emerald Cauldron Sect would be in grave peril! Who was the one who summoned
the demon beast? Step forward and reveal yourself!”
“Helius, that disciple is already dead. He was beheaded in the arena...” Ebenez hurriedly explained.
Ebenez's forehead dripped with cold sweat. He hadn't anticipated that summoning the ultimate demon
beast would attract Helius' attention. Luckily, Bilius had died. Otherwise, Ebenez himself wouldn't be spared from Helius' wrath.
Thinking of that, Ebenez suddenly felt relieved at the convenient turn of events.
“He was beheaded? Even after he summoned the ultimate demon beast, someone managed to kill
him? Where is the ultimate demon beast now, and where is the Octo Ruler?” Helius inquired.
“It was Jared Chance. He wounded the ultimate demon beast and returned it back to the Octo Ruler.
He has the Octo Ruler now,” Ebenez clarified.
“He wounded the ultimate demon beast?” Helius seemed surprised. Scanning the crowd, he asked,
“Which one of you is Jared Chance?”
“Me.” Jared stood up among the disciples.
He was well aware that keeping quiet wouldn't make much difference. Ebenez would still point him out
for Helius!
novelbinHelius found it somewhat unexpected that Jared took the initiative to stand up. After a cursory glance,
he said to Jared, “Hand over the Octo Ruler right now. Such a thing in your hands can only bring
calamity!”
Jared remained silent, neither handing over the Octo Ruler nor speaking.
Noticing Jared's reluctance to comply, Helius frowned as his expression grew colder.
“Mr. Chance, hand over the Octo Ruler. Don't provoke Helius...” Still kneeling on the ground, Sigurdquickly advised Jared in a low voice.
“Yes, Mr. Chance. Please give him the Octo Ruler!” Zebediah also chimed in from the other side,
attempting to persuade Jared.
Nevertheless, Jared remained indifferent to their words. Drenched in cold sweat, Ghaylen couldn't stop
shivering in fear. However, he couldn't speak up to convince Jared; all he could do was pray silently
that Jared would hand over the Octo Ruler quickly.
On the other hand, Ebenez rejoiced to see Jared standing up to Helius. If Helius became angry, Jared
would definitely be dead meat!
“Don't you understand what I just said?” Helius' anger flared when he saw that Jared remained
stubborn.
“The Octo Ruler is my prize from the duel just now. Why should I hand it over? I competed with Bilius in
a duel to the death in the arena. Since he lost his life trying to beat me, anything he possessed
rightfully belongs to me. I'm sure you wouldn't use your status and strength to oppress a younger
disciple like me, right?” Jared calmly challenged Helius.
Jared's audacity left everyone stunned. They had never seen anyone speak to Helius in such
disrespect before.
Is he seeking death?
Ghaylen turned pale and slumped to the ground in complete shock. “Jared, you're really bold! How dare you speak like that to Helius? You're asking for trouble!”
Attempting to show his reverence for Helius, Ebenez admonished Jared loudly.
