Upon seeing Jared, Montane Daemon quickly ran up to him and asked, “Are you all right, Mr. Chance? I heard someone was causing you trouble.”
“I’m fine, Mr. Daemon. Someone here just demanded that I apologize on my knees, that’s all,” Jared replied calmly with a smile.
Montane Daemon exploded with anger when he heard that. He glared daggers at Helmut as he asked, “Hey, Helmut! Were you the one who wanted Mr. Chance to apologize on his knees? Who the f*ck do you think you are, huh? How dare you make such a demand? Do you want to have Bloodroot Peak destroyed?”
Although Montane Daemon wasn’t as powerful as Helmut, the latter looked somewhat afraid when he saw the former.
Helmut didn’t dare argue with Montane Daemon even after being yelled at. “I-Is this cultivator related to you as well, Mr. Daemon?”
“Of course! In fact, Mr. Chance is like an elder to me! How dare you ask my elder to kneel and apologize? I’ll take you down with me as punishment!” Montane Daemon roared.
Helmut was utterly dumbfounded at that point. He couldn’t understand why a human cultivator who had just achieved Tribulator would become Montane Daemon’s elder.
Upon seeing Montane Daemon’s expression, however, Helmut had no choice but to back down. “T-This is all just a misunderstanding.”
“Master!” Dimas exclaimed in displeasure when he saw Helmut back down.
“Shut up! You’re a Fourth Level Tribulator cultivator, yet you let a First Level Tribulator cultivator break your arm! I’m surprised you even dared to bring it up!” Helmut yelled and dragged Dimas out of there.
Seeing as the fight they were expecting didn’t happen, the crowd slowly dispersed as well.
“Mr. Daemon, your current strength is weaker than Helmut’s, so why is he afraid of you?” Jared asked curiously.
Montane Daemon simply burst out laughing when he heard that.
“You may not know this, but we’ve known Mr. Daemon since we were kids. Our sects were situated fairly close to each other back then, so we crossed paths with Mr. Daemon very often. Mr. Daemon has been bullying Helmut since he was little, so the mere sight of Mr. Daemon is enough to send shivers down his spine. Although Helmut eventually grows stronger after joining Bloodroot Peak, he still gets scared whenever he sees Mr. Daemon. It’s probably the result of a childhood trauma. All of Demonia Mountain knows that Helmut is afraid of Mr. Daemon,” Igor explained.
Jared let out a chuckle when he heard that. It seems childhood traumas do stick around!
“Make the payment, Cloud,” Jared said, prompting Cloud to pay the vendor one hundred thousand spirit coins.
Cloud nodded and tossed the bag of spirit coins over. The vendor accepted the payment without any hesitation and left promptly after packing his stuff up.
Jared’s eyes were filled with confusion after the vendor left.
Everyone backed away earlier because they couldn’t stand Helmut’s aura, yet that vendor remained seated in front of his stall. I was too busy resisting Helmut’s aura to notice it just now, but that vendor is definitely no ordinary man!
“What’s wrong, Mr. Chance?” Montane Daemon asked.
“Oh, it’s nothing! Mr. Daemon, Mr. Lothian, do you guys see anything special about this watch?”
Montane Daemon and Igor examined the watch for quite some time and shook their heads when they couldn’t find anything. Although the watch looked really beautiful as it was carved out of a gem, there was nothing special about it.
As Jared put the watch away, he couldn’t help but feel that there was something special about it.
