“You don’t believe me?” Jared looked at the three silent figures, then casually tossed out three item pouches.
“In these item pouches, each one contains two thousand celestial crystals. Consider it a meeting gift! Whether you choose to stick with me or not, these celestial crystals are yours to keep!”
Upon seeing the three item pouches, Fraser, Theobauld, and Salathiell were all visibly moved.
Although two thousand celestial crystals weren’t much, every little bit helped. It would be a shame to let it go to waste.
Fraser reached out and took the item pouch. Seeing this, Theobauld and Salathiell hastily received their item pouches as well.
Upon seeing Fraser, Theobauld, and Salathiell accept the celestial crystals, Jared smiled.
“I sought you out not merely because of the Decree of Execution, but because you injured my elder brother. I…”
“How about twenty thousand celestial crystals as compensation for injuring your brother? Seems fair, right?” Jared cut Fraser off mid-sentence.
“Uhm…” Fraser hesitated for a moment.
He struggled to keep up with Jared’s line of thinking. Twenty thousand celestial crystals seemed insignificant to him.
At that moment, Jared totally resembled a nouveau riche.
Noticing Fraser’s hesitation, Jared blurted out, “Thirty thousand…”
“Are you seriously offering thirty thousand celestial crystals as compensation?” A hint of skepticism was evident in Fraser’s gaze.
“Absolutely. With thirty thousand celestial crystals, let’s settle the grudge between your brother and me. Also, please accept my sincere apologies.”
Jared flashed a teasing smile, his eyes gleaming with undeniable certainty. “In this world, some things are priceless, like true friendship and trust. But then again, if someone could resist the temptation of money, wouldn’t their value be worth more than any amount?”
Fraser, Theobauld, and Salathiell exchanged glances. Their expressions shifted from surprise to confusion and finally settled into subtle, indescribable smiles.
Jared’s words left them somewhat dazed. Strangely, they sensed a touch of philosophy hidden within his remarks, which irresistibly drew them to ponder its deeper meaning.
“If you doubt my words, you can ask any cultivator from all around Allardland. They can confirm that two cultivators were indeed following me and I personally gave them a welcoming gift of ten thousand celestial crystals,” Jared added.
“Where are those two cultivators?” Salathiell asked.
“Let’s meet them…” Salathiell was starting to believe.
“They ran off with ten thousand of my celestial crystals. It’s their loss, not mine. Even those who betrayed me received ten thousand celestial crystals from me. But for those who stay loyal, the rewards could reach a hundred thousand, even a million celestial crystals. And it’s not just about the celestial crystals…”
“By aligning with me, you gain endless opportunities, the promise of fighting alongside me, and sharing in the glory and splendor.” Jared’s voice grew increasingly fervent, reminiscent of a mentor sharing the keys to success with his students.
“The fact that the three of you are here today signifies a fated connection with me. I admire your strength, but I value your potential even more.”
“A million?” Fraser, Theobauld, and Salathiell seemed to tune out everything else, their focus entirely captured by the mention of “a million celestial crystals”.
A million celestial crystals could easily buy the entire Ethereal Realm.
Theobauld rubbed his temples as if trying to clear his head a bit. “M-Mr. Chance, are you… Are you just spinning a yarn here? Or do you really intend to go through with this?”
Salathiell’s lips twitched as favonovel.com struggled to maintain his composure.
Is this guy for real?
He acts like celestial crystals are nothing more than worthless pebbles…
Fraser’s eyes flickered, revealing the weight of thoughts swirling in his mind.
Suddenly, favonovel.com realized that Jared might truly possess an extraordinary demeanor and skillset.
In a world where strength was revered, it was indeed rare to find someone who could win over hearts so effortlessly.
When Jared spoke, his face radiated passionate excitement, making it hard to believe favonovel.com was anything but sincere.
