At the main hall of Emerald Cauldron Sect's inner court, Ebenez stood, his face displaying a mixture of aggrieved emotions, as he faced Hosen's furious roars.
“Hosen, you must bring justice to me. While you were away, many unfortunate events occurred in the Emerald Cauldron Sect! The state of the sect has deteriorated due to the actions of the new disciple Ghaylen brought in. Even my most senior disciple, Bilius, has lost his life. If you hadn't returned, Ghaylen would have taken over the sect completely,” Ebenez pleaded with a sense of urgency.
He was swift to tattle on Ghaylen.
“What?” Hosen's eyes widened in shock. “How dare he be so audacious as to destroy houses in the inner court and kill Bilius? This is outrageous! Furthermore, Bilius should have advanced to become a Top Level Manifestor by now. How could Ghaylen's disciple possibly defeat him, given how weak Ghaylen is?”
Hosen remained in disbelief. After all, Bilius was one of the most accomplished disciples, and even Sigurd would find it challenging to end Bilius' life.
“Hosen, the new disciple is strange, to say the least. Despite being only a Manifestor, the power he has displayed seems to be on par with yours! Moreover, he possesses numerous divine weapons. He appears to be a son of some wealthy family, but I can't fathom why he would join our sect and become Ghaylen's disciple,” Ebenez added with a touch of exaggeration.
Ebenez was well aware of Hosen's fondness for magical items, and he deliberately brought up the topic of the divine weapons in Jared's possession. He hoped to manipulate Hosen by playing on his greed for these items.
“Do you not know his identity? What's his name?”
Hosen's curiosity about Ghaylen's new disciple was piqued.
“He goes by the name Jared Chance. Sigurd seems to be familiar with him, so I believe Sigurd might have more information about his true identity,” Ebenez revealed.
“Jared Chance?” Hosen exclaimed, leaping to his feet with surprise written all over his face. He then turned to Sigurd and asked, “Sigurd, tell me, is Jared...”
“Yes, he's the one you sent me and Francois to capture,” Sigurd responded in a whisper.
