At Jared’s action, Anders instantly flew into a rage. “What’s the meaning of this, kid? I’m the head of Bulrush Sect. How dare you steal my possession right before me when you’re a mere First Level Tribulator cultivator!”
“It’s mine to begin with.”
Jared stared at Anders with a terrifying gleam in his eyes. It was as though he wanted to skin the latter alive.
Sensing the lethal intent in his gaze, Anders frowned.
“What nonsense! That precious orb was found in this celestial ore mine. How could it possibly be yours?” Anders snarled.
“This orb is mine to begin with. It’s known as the Stillwind Orb. I deliberately placed it into the mine in secret to incite a battle between the lot of you because that was the only way for me to save the two girls you captured,” Jared admitted candidly.
Upon hearing that, Anders was wholly stunned. On the heels of that, primal rage radiated off him.
“Well, well, well… So, all this was a ploy you devised. But even if we battle each other, a mere First Level Tribulator cultivator like you can’t possibly benefit from it. If you don’t hand over the precious orb, don’t blame me for showing you no mercy.”
His aura intensified, and his expression darkened further. Considering the injuries on him, coupled with his blood pressure shooting through the roof, he was worried that he would not be able to hold out for long.
Just then, a few disciples of Bulrush Sect ran out of the mine. They were the only few survivors then, and each of them was injured.
“Mr. Hendley!”
After exiting the mine, they quickly hurried over to Anders. At the sight of his disciples, Anders ordered with eyes blazing scarlet, “Kill that guy at once, right this instance!”
Although his disciples were injured, they were either Third or Fourth Level Tribulator cultivators. On top of that, they had the advantage of numbers. Dealing with a First Level Tribulator cultivator like Jared would be as easy as pie for them.
Despite Anders’ expectations, the outcome turned out to be completely different.
The few disciples of Bulrush Sect attacked Jared.
Nonetheless, Jared remained motionless, his eyes glinting coldly.
