“Your Highness, if you don’t trust Jared, why did you follow him to Allardland? Couldn’t you have just arrested him right away?” Theobauld asked with a touch of confusion as it seemed Fraser hadn’t truly trusted Jared.
Fraser, however, responded with a faint smile, “I never said I didn’t believe him. Even a shred of truth is still truth… I’m taking a gamble, betting on his words being true. If they are, we could end up with a large number of celestial crystals. If his words turn out to be false, we wouldn’t really lose anything; it would just mean we’ve wasted two days, that’s all. Wouldn’t it be the same if we bring him back to Twilight Imperial City when the time comes?”
“You’re truly brilliant, Your Highness!” Theobauld quickly gave a thumbs up.
Salathiell glanced at Theobauld and scoffed. “Brown-noser…”
Just as Theobauld was about to lose his temper, he saw Jared walking in.
“The celestial crystals won’t arrive for a couple of days, so for now, the three of you should continue your cultivation using the immortal pills and various mystical herbs!”
Jared pulled out a large amount of pills and mystical herbs from his Storage Ring.
This time, he had nearly exhausted all his resources, all in an effort to make them believe in him.
Jared had overheard the recent conversation among them. Fraser didn’t fully trust him after all.
Upon seeing Jared bring out such an abundance of pills and mystical herbs all at once, Fraser, Theobauld, and Salathiell were utterly taken aback.
They couldn’t comprehend how one person could possess such an abundance of resources.
Jared didn’t want to carry so many resources with him, but his cultivation consumed much more than that of other cultivators.
Even with the vast resources at his disposal, he might not be able to make even the slightest advancement, even if he exhausted all of them.
“Mr. Chance, I’ve lived for thousands of years, and you are the most generous person I’ve ever met. Choosing to ally with you was indeed a wise decision!” Salathiell approached Jared, speaking with a hint of excitement.
At that moment, he was fully engrossed in the vision of the future that Jared had vividly painted for them.
He did not even consider what Fraser might think as he spoke.
After all, he was still Fraser’s sidekick.
Upon hearing Salathiell’s words, Fraser merely cast a cold glance at him and didn’t utter a word.
He couldn’t afford to let Jared sense any hint of deceit.
“Don’t worry, as long as you’re with me, you’ll have everything I have. And even if I don’t have it, I’ll find a way to get it and share it with you,” Jared declared confidently, patting his chest.
Suddenly, a loud clatter echoed through the room, as if something had fallen to the ground.
“Sorry, my bow just fell off when I patted my body…”
After Jared finished speaking, he bent down to pick it up.
As the Divine Bow slipped from Jared’s grip and clattered to the ground, Fraser’s expression changed dramatically. “Jared, wait a moment…”
Theobauld and Salathiell had also discovered the Divine Bow, their faces filled with astonishment.
“What’s wrong?” Jared asked, feigning confusion.
“Jared, is this bow of yours the Divine Bow?” Fraser cautiously picked up the Divine Bow.
“Yes, it’s the Divine Bow. I didn’t expect you to be quite knowledgeable,” Jared said with a playful chuckle.
Fraser held the Divine Bow, his pupils constantly contracting, the unabashed greed bursting forth from his gaze.
Theobauld and Salathiell also stepped forward, gingerly reaching out to touch the Divine Bow.
“What an extraordinary bow! I never thought I’d have the chance to see the legendary Divine Bow in person…”
Fraser licked his lips, his body trembling slightly.
Seeing Fraser’s reaction, Jared casually waved his hand and said generously, “It’s just a bow. Is that reaction really necessary? If you like it that much, I’ll give it to you!”
“Thank you, Jared…” Fraser’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he spoke, eager to stow away the Divine Bow.
Jared was puzzled.
“Haha, that’s what you get for showing off. You even gave away the Divine Bow…” Vermilion Demon Lord sneered mockingly.
