The Man's Decree novel Chapter 2651

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...”

“Yeah, my heart was about to leap out of my chest!”

Sigurd and Zebediah were both amazed at what had transpired.

“I didn't expect Helius to be such a reasonable person. After all, what I said was true, and I didn't lie. It seems that Helius is much better than some elders around here!” Jared said, glancing at Ebenez pointedly.

Ebenez snorted at him. “Hmph, don't get too cocky yet. Just you wait...”

With that, Ebenez hurriedly left. His face was extremely swollen like he had been stung by dozens of hornets, and he would only be ridiculed if he stayed any longer.

Ghaylen looked like he had just returned from the brink of death. He was soaked in sweat from head to toe, looking as if all life had been drained from him.

With Zebediah's support, he went back to his residence. Jared returned to his place as well, and Emerald Cauldron Sect soon returned to calm.
