The Man's Decree

Thiago piped up, “What do you know, you newbie? There’s no one else capable of pulling this off except Carla!”

Thiago was quick to pin the blame on Carla so he wouldn’t have to bear any responsibility himself.

Jared retorted, “Why would you think that only Carla could do this?”

“It’s simple! She’s the only one powerful enough to cause the fire source at the test site to surge and cause an explosion. No one else has that kind of skill,” Thiago replied with a cold snort.

Jared glared coolly at Thiago and returned, “Even without her capabilities, it’s not impossible to trigger an explosion from a fire aura. For example, if someone were to bring in an artifact imbued with a fire source and then release it into the air, couldn’t that also cause an aura surge that would lead to an explosion?”

Upon hearing this, Thiago instantly furrowed his brows. A hint of alarm flitted through his gaze.
