“Don’t move, stay still…” Tyler’s urgent voice echoed in the tense air as he rushed into the midst of the conflict, eager to defuse the escalating situation.
He quickly positioned himself between the two opposing sides and turned his attention to Heinrick. With a diplomatic tone, Tyler addressed him, “Mr. Darkmore, let’s handle this calmly. Can you explain why you’re aggressively confronting Mr. Chance the moment he arrived? Mr. Chance, he seems like a stranger to all of you, doesn’t he?”
“That’s absolute nonsense,” retorted Heinrick. “How can we not recognize him? He’s the one responsible for the demise of the revered Five Elites. Now he has the audacity to show up at the doorstep of the Five Great Sects. Is he mocking us? Does he think the Five Great Sects lack protectors?”
Heinrick’s words were delivered with fiery intensity, his anger palpable in the air.
Tyler, visibly taken aback by these accusations, couldn’t help but express his surprise. “They were killed by him? The Five Elites?”
In the midst of this heated exchange, Catina, her face contorted with anger, chimed in fiercely, “This is absurd. Who do you think was responsible for the death of the Five Elites?”
“If you want a fight, just say so. But stop making baseless claims,” she continued, her voice filled with frustration and indignation.
Heinrick, pointing an accusing finger at Catina, didn’t back down. “Fox Queen, don’t stir up more trouble. You’re also implicated in the deaths of the Five Elites….
Catina’s frustration escalated to anxiety. “You’re talking nonsense! Where’s your proof?”
The tension in the room thickened as Tyler, trying to make sense of the situation, turned to Lauden. “Mr. Delacroix, can you shed some light on this? I’ve been with Mr. Chance the whole time, and I can confidently say he didn’t harm your sons. And honestly, considering Mr. Chance’s current abilities, it seems highly unlikely that he could have defeated the Five Elites, doesn’t it?”
“He alone might not have the ability to kill them, but with the involvement of the three kings and four archons, that would be a different story.” Lauden, who had been silently observing, now wore a grim expression. His voice, filled with disbelief and concern, broke the silence.
“Why would Mr. Chance target the Five Elites? Mr. Delacroix, you’re not one to accuse someone without concrete proof, are you?”
Tyler struggled to believe that Jared could possibly be responsible for such an act.
“You need proof?” Lauden retorted sharply. producing a storage pouch. “Take a look at this. This item pouch belonged to the Five Elites, and it fell from Jared’s possession. We all witnessed it. Could there possibly be any fabrication in that?”
Tyler, still grappling with disbelief, turned to Jared. “Did this really fall from Mr. Chance?”
Jared, who had been quietly observing the unfolding drama, furrowed his brow as he studied the item pouch. After a moment of contemplation, he addressed Lauden. “Who told you that I killed the Five Elites? Was it Pablo?”
“Yes, Pablo was the one who told us,” Lauden confirmed with a nod.
Jared’s response was firm and unwavering. “You’ve been misled. The true murderer of the Five Elites is Pablo, and I was a direct witness to his crime.”
Heinrick, however, remained unconvinced. “Do you think we’re fools? Expecting us to believe your words? We saw with our own eyes how the Five Elites’ item pouch fell from your possession.”
“Seeing something with your own eyes doesn’t always mean it’s the truth,” Jared countered.
As he spoke, an incredible metamorphosis began to occur.
His aura subtly shifted, and to the astonishment of everyone present, Jared’s appearance transformed into an exact replica of Heinrick!
Although there was a noticeable difference in their auras, visually, Jared now looked identical to Heinrick
“This…”
The real Heinrick, witnessing this astonishing change, was left speechless, his face displaying shock and disbelief.
The others in the room shared in this disbelief, their eyes wide with astonishment.
While many were familiar with the Disguising Technique and illusion spells, Jared’s accomplishment was extraordinary.
Illusion spells typically relied on various props for transformation and often involved manipulating the mind to perceive one person as another.
But what Jared demonstrated was a genuine, physical alteration of his appearance.
Even though his aura remained the same, his physical transformation was enough to shock everyone present..
“If I were to take action now, would it appear to you as if someone else is responsible?” Jared challenged Lauden, leaving the room in a state of silent contemplation.
Indeed, from a distance, any action Jared took now would seem to be the work of Heinrick.
