Jared noticed that the opposite party’s strength was much more powerful than his, so he could only mobilize the spiritual energy in him to the maximum level. In truth, he didn’t know whether he could endure Tucker’s blow because the differences in their capabilities were huge.
“Is this how Stormwind Sect bullies the weak? Do you think you’re capable just because you can overpower your opponent easily?” Skyler shouted anxiously, wanting Tucker to stop because she knew Jared was no match for Tucker.
However, Tucker didn’t care what Skyler thought as he gathered an earth-shattering force and sent it flying toward Jared.
In response, Jared yelled with all his might, “Sacred Light Fist!” and a golden light radiated from his fist. No matter what happened next, he had to face Tucker’s attack in stride.
The next moment, a figure appeared and stood before Jared before the latter could throw out a punch. Then, the sound of a loud explosion reverberated through the air.
Tucker retreated backward instantly while the man in front of Jared also took a few staggering steps back. “Mr. Campbell…” Jared called out. The one who blocked Tucker’s attack on behalf of Jared was none other than Matthew. “Tucker Westwood! How shameless of you to attack a junior like this!” Matthew mocked the other man.
“Matthew Campbell, this man is a Demonic Cultivator and no junior of mine! How dare you cover for him publicly? It’s our responsibility to end every one of these Demonic Cultivators! What did I do wrong? As for you, you protected him before us. What are you trying to achieve here?” Tucker questioned Matthew sternly.
“This is ridiculous! You said he is a Demonic Cultivator. Then do you have any supporting evidence for your claim? Are you telling me now that Stormwind Sect can label someone as a Demonic Cultivator as they wish? If so, what should we do about your sect modifying genes? Don’t you guys know that divine retribution is waiting for you people when you go against the laws of nature to forcefully improve your capabilities?” Matthew retorted loudly in return. “Nonsense! Everyone, don’t listen to him!”
Tucker told the other sect elders quickly. “No, I’m not talking about nonsense, Tucker. You can hide those dirty matters from others, but not me. Did you forget what I do best? Should I tell everyone about what you did? Let them have a little fun gossiping?” Matthew smirked at Tucker.
“Matthew, don’t you dare…” Tucker’s expression darkened as anxiety filled his face. “Try me!” Matthew scoffed before he continued, “You’re the elder of Stormwind Sect and a friend of Hugh Fairchild, yet you…”
“Shut up, Matthew!” Tucker panicked as he threw a punch at Matthew. However, Matthew was able to dodge his attack easily. “You’re a brave one, Matthew. Forget it, then. We shall meet again in the future.” With that, Tucker pulled Emiliano up from the ground and left. The other elders followed suit without any words when they saw Tucker going. After everyone was gone, Skyler asked curiously, “Master, tell us about the dirt you have on Tucker!”
“Why are you so curious? Go on with your practice. Both of you are older than Jared, yet. your power is incomparable to him. How are you still brazen enough to gossip about others!” Matthew lectured Skyler and Archer.
Skyler grinned before running away while the arrogant Archer bobbed his head obediently, finally impressed by Jared. No matter what cultivation level he displays, there’s no denying his actual power. I know I will never be able to reach his level.
“Mr. Campbell, what is Tucker hiding? Why is he so afraid of you revealing his secret?” Jared asked Matthew after the other two walked away. Matthew glanced at him, chuckling. “Oh, so you wanted to know too? Well, I’ll tell you since you asked.”
Then, he leaned in and whispered into Jared’s ear. Shock was written all over Jared’s face after Matthew spoke. He exclaimed, “No wonder he became anxious after I said Emiliano is his son!”
“Haha! Even those in the hidden realms are just like the average citizens, with human desires and urges.” Matthew guffawed.
