Sigwin glared at Jared solemnly for he felt pressured by the latter. It seems like I’m going to lose my spot on Supreme Honor Rankings soon! “Nice one, Jared!” Hailey shouted in excitement and jumped onto the platform.
Claus, who had been by her side all this while, had a grim expression on his face. Upon landing on the platform, Hailey was so ecstatic that her pretty eyes were shining brightly, and her gaze was filled with affection and admiration..
Seeing that, Jared, with a tender look in his eyes, flashed her a faint smile. Since Jared had to rely on Hailey to infiltrate Violet Cloud Palace, he had no choice but to forge a good relationship with her.
Someone saw Hailey and Jared exchanging. fond glances with each other and joked, “Mr. Hargreaves, is Jared your future son-in-law? Why have you never told us about him?”
Santiago knew that person was merely pulling his leg, but he still frowned and yelled at Hailey. “Hailey, mind your manners! You can’t get onto the platform as you wish! Get down!” Upon hearing Santiago shouting at her, Hailey pouted and got off the platform.
“Mr. Yuchamore, something’s off here. How did Jared manage to ring the Dragon Bell? Either the hammer or the Dragon Bell must be broken! Jared is only a Third Level Spirit Replicator. How could he have easily picked up the hammer and summoned nine golden dragons? This doesn’t make any sense! If neither the hammer nor the Dragon Bell is broken, this fellow must be concealing his true strength! Now that he had shrunk the Dragon Bell and kept it away, it’s safe to assume he knows the secrets of the Dragon Bell!” Sigwin roared. He refused to accept the fact that a Third Level Spirit Replicator had beaten him.
Quindon was also weirded out, so he furrowed his brows and asked, “Jared, how did you shrink the Dragon Bell and keep it away? Do you know the secrets of the Dragon Bell? Is that how you could easily summon those nine golden dragons?”
“That’s right. I know the secrets of the Dragon Bell. Besides, it’s actually mine!” Jared nodded. As soon as those words fell, the crowd went into an uproar.
Meanwhile, Quindon was staring at Jared in disbelief. I don’t understand. The Dragon Bell has been here for so many years. How does it suddenly belong to Jared?
“You’re so full of yourself, Jared! The Dragon Bell has been here for more than centuries. How could it be yours? You’re still so young!” Sigwin thought Jared was talking through his hat. In fact, like Sigwin, everyone else also thought Jared was lying through his teeth.
“I don’t care if you believe me or not. What matters now is that the Dragon Bell belongs to my family. Hence, I have the right to take it back,” Jared uttered calmly.
“Your family?” Quindon furrowed his brows.. “Who’s your father? Who are your ancestors? How did the Dragon Bell become theirs?”
“I can’t tell you who my father is, but I know the Dragon Bell belongs to my family. If you don’t believe me, I challenge you to try ringing the Dragon Bell. Not only will you guys fail to ring the bell, but I’m also certain none of you can lift the hammer.” Jared whipped out the Dragon Bell from his Storage Ring.
Within seconds, the Dragon Bell became as tall as a person, and the hammer was placed right. next to the bell. “You’re full of crap! I don’t believe you!” Sigwin yelled and approached the hammer and the bell, accepting the challenge..
However, no matter how hard Sigwin tried, he couldn’t lift the hammer after several attempts. The hammer just wouldn’t budge no matter how much force he exerted. Seeing how things had turned out, Sigwin was so embarrassed that words eluded him.
Quindon, on the other hand, shot Jared a look and bent down to lift the hammer. His body was emitting a strong wave of aura as he tried to lift the hammer, but the hammer was as heavy as lead. Needless to say, he, too, was unable to lift the hammer.
