The Man's Decree

Chapter 2651 Being Reasonable

“Enough...” Helius waved his hand, signaling Ebenez to stop talking. Then, he regarded Jared with a hint of approval. “Not bad, young man. You're right. The Octo Ruler is your prize from the duel, so you need not surrender it. I was merely concerned that the Octo Ruler's power might be too overwhelming for you and could lead to unintended backfiring if you try to use it. That's why I suggested that you hand it over to me. I wasn't trying to oppress you.”

Helius' good-natured response left everyone dumbfounded. They couldn't fathom why he was so unexpectedly amiable toward Jared.

Even Jared himself was taken aback. He hadn't anticipated Helius' genial response at all.

“Thanks for your concern, Helius, but I know my limits,” Jared replied.

“That's good.” Helius nodded. He then turned to Ebenez and said, “When Hosen returns, have him go to the mountains and reflect on himself for three days. Look at how dreadful Emerald Cauldron Sect has become under his leadership!”

With that, Helius vanished without making any visible moves.

As soon as Helius left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Jared in disbelief.

“Mr. Chance, you really scared me just now. How could you even dare to contradict Helius...”
