Zion promptly turned to the crowd. “Listen up, all of you! Jared's an arrogant and conceited man! If you help me kill him with me, you can take whatever treasure you find here.”
“That's right! This place belongs to the Deragons! If you help me kill Jared, you can have anything you want from here! Not only that, but once the Trial ends, I'll let you all come back here again to grab more beast cores! All of you saw the thousands of beast cores outside. There's practically an endless amount of them!” Edgar exclaimed in a panic.
A handful of the people wavered when they heard his declaration.
While they had no history or bad blood with Jared, no one could resist the temptation of copious treasures.
“Jared deserves to die! He's arrogant, and he disturbed Jadeborough's martial arts world! We should kill him together!” Jace was the first to jump out and criticize Jared.
Since Jace used to occupy the top spot on the Sage Leaderboard, his words still carried great power and influence. Additionally, he hated Jared to the bone for taking his spot on the Sage Leaderboard.
There was also the fact that he was mocked and ridiculed by many for his challenge against Jared.
Now that a rare opportunity had presented itself, he was eager to take advantage of it to eliminate Jared and return to his original spot.
Following Jace's proclamation, many others started chastising Jared and stood with Jace too.
They were undoubtedly driven by greed, but they needed an excuse to depict themselves as being in the right.
Soon, aside from Howard and Astrid, everyone directed their hostility toward Jared.
In an instant, he became everyone's target.
Edgar laughed maniacally, so much so that tears were on the verge of escaping his eyes when he saw almost everyone siding with him. “Do you see that, Jared? Everyone here desires your death!”
