When Norman heard that Pablo came to answer the challenge and was a friend of the person in the cave, his anger abated.
After all, the person in the cave was most likely to retrieve their cultivation technique secret scrolls.
Upon hearing that Pablo had actually come to Demonia Sect to answer the challenge with someone, Jared couldn’t help but frown. He couldn’t figure out the person who entered the cave.
“Jared, did you think changing your appearance would keep everyone from recognizing you?” Pablo asked, looking at Jared with a sneer.
“Jared?”
Norman was taken aback.
Hearing that, Trystan instantly looked at Pablo warily.
“Is he the same Jared who had a Decree of Execution by Demon Seal Alliance on him with a reward of a hundred-year supply of resources?” the elder of Demonia Sect asked in astonishment.
“Yes, it’s him. He changed his appearance, probably out of fear that someone might recognize him,” Pablo said with a laugh.
At that turn of events, Jared’s body shuddered slightly, and he reverted to his own appearance.
Since he had already been recognized, there was no point in maintaining his disguise any longer.
As Norman gazed at Jared before him, the look in his eyes suddenly turned somewhat fervent..
Upon seeing that, Trystan hurriedly said to Norman, “Mr. Zaffino, Mr. Chance saved my life, so I hope no one lays a hand on him.”
He was warning Norman that if he dared to make a move against Jared for the sake of Demon Seal Alliance’s hundred-year supply of resources, he would certainly not stand idly by.
Hearing that, Norman chuckled awkwardly and said, “Mr. Pruitt, since he is your friend, I certainly won’t do anything to him. However, if others were to do so, Demonia Sect would not intervene.”
After saying that, he immediately backed away, for he could tell that Pablo would definitely make a move against Jared.
With Pablo being an Eighth Level Tribulator, he was more than capable of dealing with Jared. Demonia Sect would undoubtedly not interfere.
Moreover, Pablo’s friend was in the cave, about to successfully retrieve Demonia Sect’s cultivation technique secret scrolls. As such, Norman couldn’t possibly help Jared deal with Pablo.
At Norman’s words, Trystan’s expression turned as black as thunder. If Demonia Sect refused to intervene and help, the few of them couldn’t possibly be Pablo’s match. After all, the latter was an Eighth Level Tribulator cultivator.
Although Jared could defeat four Sixth Level Tribulator cultivators, he likely didn’t stand a chance when faced with an Eighth Level Tribulator cultivator.
At the cultivation level of Tribulator, even a minor advancement in level involved a precipitous increase in strength.
There were few like Jared who could fight above their level, and several ones at that. After all, such individuals were extremely rare.
“Mr. Pruitt, all of you should step back. This matter is between him and me. Don’t interfere!” Jared said to Trystan.
He knew that even if Mr. Pruitt and the others were to intervene, they would be no match for Pablo. Instead, it would only result in needless loss of life.
Even if he had no chance of winning against Pablo alone, he could still escape. At worst, he would abandon Demonia Stone.
By then, he could activate the time magical item of the timepiece, and his mastery over Blazing Stride ad also made considerable progress. If he really couldn’t defeat Pablo, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to escape.
But if Trystan and the others were to get involved, it would become very difficult for Jared to go all out when he still had to ensure their safety.
“Mr. Chance-”
Trystan wanted to argue but was abruptly pulled back by Faiyar, who said, “Trystan, Mr. Chance knows what he’s doing. We’d best not add to his troubles!”
In reality, Faiyar was also worried about Jared. He knew that the latter couldn’t beat Pablo. However, even if they tried to help at that point, it would be useless and only unnecessarily add to his burden.
Trystan and the others retreated, leaving Jared to face Pablo alone, their eyes locked on each other.
