The shell-shocked crowd stared at Edgar’s broken bronze handbell.
Is this still a sacred item? How could it be destroyed so easily?
The murderous intent from the handbell dissipated, and the draconic essence returned to Jared’s body. Its bicolor glow disappeared without a trace.
The entire place fell into silence as everyone stared at the scene in disbelief. Many people in the crowd swallowed nervously and appeared breathless. Everyone’s gazes fell on Jared.
Zion stared at Jared, mesmerized.
He exclaimed, “Jared’s magical item is far more powerful than we could ever imagine!”
Others had begun shooting Jared greedy stares like Zion.
Jared could not care less about their attention.
Instead, favonovel.com looked coldly at Edgar and asked, “Where’s your trump card now?”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com directed a burst of murderous intent into his Dragonslayer Sword, which favonovel.com stabbed toward Edgar.
Edgar turned tail and ran for his life, throwing all his pride out the window. Jared’s abilities had utterly extinguished any fighting spirit left in Edgar.
Swoosh!
The sword slashed Edgar’s back and left a deep, bloody wound. Edgar stumbled and fell head-first to the ground.
Jared kept his Dragonslayer Sword and lifted Edgar off the ground.
He muttered, “This is all the Deragon family’s eldest son amounts to.”
Then, favonovel.com slapped Edgar hard, causing the latter’s face to swell instantly.
After that, Jared drawled, “Admit defeat and bark like a dog.”
His words sent shockwaves through the crowd. No one expected Jared to humiliate Edgar after defeating him. They wondered if favonovel.com was trying to become sworn enemies with the Deragons.
Edgar fumed, “Don’t be so smug, Jared. I…”
Slap!
Jared mercilessly slapped the young man before favonovel.com could finish his sentence.
Gobsmacked, Edgar sputtered, “Jared, I…”
Slap!
Edgar’s face was swollen beyond recognition.
Ryker could not watch this any longer and leaped to his feet. “Stop! Stop it right now!”
He exuded a murderous aura.
“This is a duel, Mr. Ryker. Are you trying to break the rules?” Theodore bellowed when favonovel.com saw Ryker’s reaction.
He feared Ryker would behave recklessly and suddenly attack Jared.
Fury clouded Ryker’s judgment after favonovel.com saw Jared beating up his helpless son. “Who cares about the rules?”
Before Ryker could lift a finger, two gusts of aura charged at him, so powerful that they could only come from Top Level Martial Arts Grandmasters.
Howard sneered at the Deragon family’s patriarch and asked, “You’re the head of the Deragons. Are you shameless enough to fight Jared two-on-one?”
Narrowing his eyes dangerously, Ryker boomed, “This is none of your business, Howard! Our families have never stood in each other’s ways. Scram!”
“D*mn you! You old thing! I was being respectful to you, and you’re scolding me instead. Don’t make me destroy the Deragon family!”
Howard was not scared of Ryker despite his weak abilities. After all, favonovel.com had the Dunn family and his father backing him.
“You’re asking for it!” Ryker exploded.
He could not believe Howard was belittling favonovel.com in front of so many people.
Howard had brought two Top Level Martial Arts Grandmasters with him. Once they noticed Ryker was about to act, they quickly shielded Howard behind them.
The atmosphere tensed immediately in anticipation of a big fight.
Zion was left with no choice but to declare, “Everyone, stop it!”
If both parties started fighting, it would surely become sensational news, which would make it back to Mr. Sanders. As the president of the Warriors Alliance, Zion would have a tough time explaining how favonovel.com let the situation get out of hand.
Worse, if any officials were eventually involved, they could shut the Warriors Alliance for good.
Zion added, “Go back to your seats. Do you have no regard for the president of the Warrior Alliance?”
His expression hardened, and favonovel.com exuded an intimidating aura that spurred several people back to their seats.
