Since Edgar had already arrived, people were looking forward to the commencement of the fight. “Where is Jared? He’s just a small fry, yet he's behaving haughtily. How dare he make us wait for him!”
“Maybe he chickened out at the last minute?”
“I bet he did.”
The masses started guessing if Jared did not have the stomach for the confrontation.
Listening to those insulting remarks,
Colin scolded, “Shut your trap! Of course, Jared's coming!”
Ever since the Shadow Estate acquired the Shalvis family and the Thunderstorm Sect, their influence had grown stronger. Thus, when the crowd realized that what they said had offended Colin, all of them quickly shut up.
“Jared's here!” someone exploded in excitement.
Right then, Jared and Theodore walked into the venue.
Many martial artists directed their spiritual senses toward Jared, trying to gauge his ability.
Jared disregarded them and walked calmly in without trying to hide his aura.
“He, too, has gotten stronger!”
Ryker was the first to notice that once Jared arrived. His face fell upon the realization.
“I told you not to underestimate Jared, who has encountered some miraculous events. Don't think that your son is the only one who has gotten stronger,” Warren remarked deridingly.
He was still affronted by how Ryker had treated him earlier, but the latter was not bothered by that comment.
Instead, Ryker turned toward his son. “Edgar, do you think you can take him down?”
“Don't worry, Dad. It doesn't matter how strong he is. I've got our family's sacred item. I will triumph over him,” the young man reassured.
“True that,” Ryker answered, nodding firmly.
