“Am I making baseless accusations?” Heinrik’s face filled with rage as he angrily threw the Five Elites’ item pouches in front of Lion Archon. “These are the item pouches of our Five Elites, which fell from Jared. Given Jared’s capabilities, there’s no way he could have killed them. If it weren’t for a few of you aiding Jared in killing them, then who could it have been? Moreover, Fox Queen has been constantly accompanying Jared. Do you still dare to claim that you all didn’t lend a hand in this?”
After looking at the item pouches on the ground, Lion Archon glanced at Thousand- Faced Demon Archon, somewhat confused.
Lion Archon was well aware of the strength of the Five Elites. Although these five couldn’t surpass them, they were undoubtedly the best among the younger generation. There was no way Jared could have killed the Five Elites himself.
However, they indeed hadn’t helped Jared commit murder. Upon seeing the expression on Lion Archon’s face, Heinrik became even more convinced that it was Lion Archon and the others who had done it!
“Hmph, if you dare to act, then you should dare to accept responsibility. Are all of you beast race members nothing but cowards? Are you afraid to admit to your crimes?” Heinrik scoffed.
“Mr. Darkmore, we truly did not assist Jared in murdering the Five Elites. You only saw these item pouches fall from Jared’s body, but did you actually see us helping him commit the murders? All of these are merely speculations from you all. There’s absolutely no evidence!” Thousand-Faced Demon Archon argued his case vehemently.
Heinrik was about to speak, but Lauden interrupted him, “Fine, if you all want evidence, then we will capture Jared and make him confess on the spot. However, during this time, you must stay with us and not leave this place!”
“What right do you have to stop us from leaving?” Lion Archon roared.
“Based on the strength of my fists. If you can defeat me, I’ll let you go,” Lauden declared, clenching his fists.
Seeing the situation, Lion Archon could only suppress his anger, daring not to say anything more.
Now that Lion Archon had fallen silent, Lauden waved his hand and commanded, “Lock them all up!”
Catina glanced at the surrounding terrain and said, “Spirit Beast Valley is just ahead. We’re about to arrive.”
Jared and his companions had been traveling continuously, exhausting a significant amount of their spiritual energy. Jared was somewhat regretful, wishing they had taken advantage of Cloud’s airship instead!
