The whole time, Brutus had regarded Jared as a lowly villager from the mountains, never taking the latter seriously. However, he was wounded by Jared now, not to mention in front of everyone. That was a humiliation Brutus couldn't stand.
He was about to attack Jared again but was stopped by Francois.
“Brat, can you tell me how you still have your strength after consuming my pill?” Francois asked, noticing Jared wasn't as simple as he seemed.
“Are you talking about that Weakening Pill?” Jared sneered. “Such a low-grade pill has no effect on me.”
Jared wasn't boasting. If his capabilities were fully restored, that Weakening Pill would indeed be useless on him.
Hearing that, Francois furrowed his brows. “You're an alchemist too?”
“I only know a bit of the basics, but even the limited knowledge I have is a hundred times more extensive than yours,” Jared mocked with a disdainful look.
At that point, even Francois was at the limit of his patience. Jared had repeatedly insulted him in front of Chev, causing him to feel humiliated.
“I'd like to see how you're a hundred times more competent than I am!” After Francois finished his sentence, a silver light shot out from his hand, traveling at extreme speed like a shooting star.
Meanwhile, Leifr and a girl were observing the fight not far away.
Leifr tensed up and was ready to lend Jared a helping hand when he saw Francois attacking Jared.
After all, in Leifr's opinion, Jared was not Francois' match.
Unexpectedly, just as Leifr was about to interfere, he was halted by the girl next to him.
“Stop. This is certainly not the extent of his abilities. His powers seem to be suppressed, or maybe he's injured and hasn't fully recovered.” The girl riveted her eyes on Jared, capturing every move he made.
Meanwhile, Jared skillfully dodged Francois' incoming attack, then swiftly stepped backward.
The only reason Jared had stopped running was to buy time for Ali and the rest. Now that they had already run far, there was no need for him to continue fighting.
