Samuel doubted that Jared could beat Barnabus, let alone Boris. After all, Jared was still young. Be it a martial artist, a mage, or a cultivator, these roles took practice to make perfect, and practice took time—something that Jared clearly had less of compared to the others.
“Kid, are you blind? Didn't you see me activate the Disc of Eight Trigrams? Yet, you're still dead set on it being useless?”
Boris' glacial stare bore into Jared.
As the top mage of Zaprington, Boris could not tolerate the taunts of a youngster.
Galen, too, was glowering at
Jared. Had it not been for Jared, the Disc of Eight Trigrams would have been sold for a high price by now. This kid keeps messing everything up for us!
“Kid, I can't believe your audacity to question Mr. Yonce. Do you even know how powerful he is?”
Snickering, Barnabus leveled a stare at Jared.
He was using Jared as a scapegoat to kiss up to Boris. With abilities like that, Boris was worthy of worship by other masters!
Jared scoffed, “It's precisely because I'm not blind that I'm not deceived by you lot. Both the arcane arrays that you summoned just now were products of your magecraft to beguile everyone. It didn't originate from the Disc of Eight Trigrams! Did you really think that no one would notice?”
His accusations hit the nail on the head. Both Boris and Barnabus had indeed used their magecraft instead of activating the disc. The only difference was that Boris’ magecraft was polished enough to escape everyone's attention.
As for Barnabus, the ones who had seen through his ruse did not expose him. At the very least, Boris knew that Barnabus was lying, but he did not call out Barnabus' lies as it benefited him as well.
“What nonsense are you spouting, kid? Are you implying that the array was formed by my magecraft and that everyone here but you are stupid?” Boris spluttered in anger.
Being the cunning man he was, Boris chose his words intentionally to incite rage toward Jared.
