The Man's Decree novel Chapter 797

Chapter 797 Generosity

All of a sudden, Axton and the other elders fell to their knees and said in unison, “Welcome, My Lord.”

Jared was startled and hurriedly steadied them up. He did not wish to become the new lord, nor did he have the time to stay in Medicine God Sect.

Donald was at a loss as he did not understand what was happening. How did Jared become the new Lord of Medicine God Sect in just a few days’ time?

“J-” Axton was about to call Jared by his first name, but he quickly realized that it was no longer inappropriate for him to do so. Hence, he hurriedly corrected himself and said, “My Lord, since the previous lord has passed on the Holy Guide to Pill Crafting to you and even hopes for you to bring the sect to greater heights, it is without question that the previous lord has anointed you as the new Lord of Medicine God Sect. Your capabilities and courage are more than sufficient to lead Medicine God Sect.”

“Mr. Knox, I’m afraid that I will not be able to accept the responsibility. I have to tend to my own matters and could not possibly stay here at Medicine God Sect,” Jared rejected in resignation.

“My Lord, I believe that we should honor the old lord’s wishes. It is not necessary for you to stay at Medicine God Sect at all times if you become the new Lord of Medicine God Sect. After all, there is no such requirement that stipulates so,” Axton said.

He knew that Axton had to tend to his own matters, and it would be impractical to ask him to stay at Medicine God Sect at all times.

As long as Jared agreed to take on the role as the new Lord of Medicine God Sect, Axton did not think it was necessary to require his constant presence in the sect.

Of course, Axton had his reasons. At this moment, only Jared knew of the contents of the Holy Guide to Pill Crafting, and the guide was the backbone of Medicine God Sect.

Seeing as Axton and the others were earnest, Jared let out a sigh. “Okay, I shall accept the responsibility. However, I would like to require you and the other elders’ help tending to the matters at Medicine God Sect. In the event of my absence, Mr. Knox, you have full authority to make decisions.”
