News of Jared and BIlius' duel quickly spread throughout the entire Emerald Cauldron Sect, attracting even the disciples from the outer circle to come and witness the event.
The duel stage was situated between the borders of the inner and outer courts, allowing the disciples from the outer circle to observe and learn from the battle.
As they arrived at the arena, Ghaylen and Ebenez took their seats on the high platform on one side, giving them a clear view of the duel below.
Both elders remained silent, but they harbored their secret thoughts and plans.
Ghaylen had resolved not to allow Jared to perish in the hands of Bilius. He was ready to step in and rescue Jared if he lost the battle, as he still required Jared's assistance to heal Viola, who remained unconscious.
Even without considering Viola, Ghaylen was determined to lend Jared a hand. After all, Jared had once saved his life.
Likewise, Ebenez was also contemplating his options. If Bilius were to lose in the duel, he would not allow Jared to kill him either.
“Master, do you think Mr. Chance can really take on Bilius? This whole situation feels so surreal...” Zebediah asked, his tone laced with concern.
“I'm not sure...” Ghaylen shook his head, as he was not completely familiar with Jared's abilities.
“I think he can!” Suddenly, Sigurd voiced his thoughts. After all, he was the only person who had witnessed Jared in action.
Observing the confident expression on Jared's face, Sigurd felt reassured that Jared knew what he was getting into.
Upon noticing how much faith Sigurd had in Jared, Ebenez could not help but cast a scornful glance at him and sarcastically said, “Sigurd, since when did you become Ghaylen's lapdog?”
Sigurd remained silent. After all, Ebenez was his senior, so he was not in any position to refute him even if he took offense at his remark.
