Chapter 2637 A Fight To The Death
“What is there to investigate, Sigurd? If you favor Jared and refuse to have him detained, I'll make amove myself. I'll personally speak to Hosen when he returns.”
As Ebenez spoke, his aura burst forth once again.
At that, a slight frown marred Sigurd's countenance. He hastily uttered, “Mr. Erdell, I checked thewarehouse earlier and found an Elementum Totum Pill missing. I assume it was consumed by youreldest disciple? The warehouse is guarded by your men. Now that such an important high-level pillis gone, does this count as embezzlement?”
He wanted to change the subject and turn everyone's attention to Ebenez taking a pill withoutauthorization.
“Indeed, I was the one who took the Elementum Totum Pill. What's the big deal about it? I'll informyour master about it when he returns. But for now, we're discussing Jared's actions of beating hisfellow disciples and destroying residences. Let's not change the topic. Give the order to detain himimmediately, or I'll take matters into my own hands!” Ebenez asserted firmly.
The fact that Ebenez brazenly admitted to the matter was beyond Sigurd's expectations.
“It was your eldest disciple who initiated the violence against Mr. Samoll's disciples and destroyedtheir houses, Mr. Erdell. If we're discussing violations of the rules, your eldest disciple shouldn't beexempt from scrutiny either, right?” Sigurd drawled.
“Fine! Detain him first!” Ebenez responded, and then he turned to Bilius and questioned, “Have yourealized your mistake now?”
“Yes, Master. I'm willing to accept the sect's punishment.” Bilius gave a dip of his head.
“So, will you seize Jared now?” Ebenez demanded, swinging his gaze to Sigurd.
Following that, Sigurd was wholly stumped. Unsure of what else to do, he could only look at Jaredhelplessly.novelbin
All of them are aware that Ebenez would free Bilius shortly after the latter had been imprisoned inthe water dungeon. But when it came to Jared, no one would release him. Ghaylen had no power inthe inner court. Thus, nobody would care about Jared.
Anyhow, Jared himself would never allow himself to be taken captive. If that truly happened, Hosenwould definitely take revenge on him madly upon returning.
“It's just a fight between kids, Ebenez. Why are you mad for real? Wouldn't others then take you fora petty man?”
At that precise moment, Ghaylen had finally rushed over after being informed of the matter.
He happened to see Ebenez making an attempt to seize Jared, so he hurriedly spoke up.
“This disciple of yours is a bit too arrogant, Ghaylen. He beat my disciples up and destroyed myresidence. Shouldn't he be taught a lesson?” Ebenez enunciated with a chilly expression on hisface.
“If so, Ebenez, should I teach your eldest disciple a lesson since he first went to my residence anddid those very same things? I reckon all this must be your eldest disciple's own actions, and he wasnot acting on your orders?” Ghaylen retorted, regarding the man calmly.
Ebenez's lips parted, but he did not quite know what to say for a moment. Ultimately, they were inthe wrong as they were the ones who made the first move.
At that turn of events, Bilius suggested at the side, “Since the matter has come to this, Master, whydon't I have a duel with Jared at the arena? Whoever loses shall go on his knees to apologize andprostrate himself before the winner. Then, this matter is considered over.”
“I have no objections.” Ebenez nodded before shifting his gaze to Ghaylen and asking, “What doyou think, Ghaylen?”
Ghaylen turned to Jared, unsure of how to respond to that when Bilius' current capabilities were thatof the Body Fusion Realm, significantly higher than Jared's cultivation level.
Meanwhile, Jared declared with a sneer, “I agree to a duel at the arena, but I want it to be a fight tothe death. The loser doesn't have to go on his knees and apologize. Isn't it better for him to forfeithis life?”
The instant his words rang out, shock inundated the crowd. Everyone swung their gazes at him insurprise.
