Chapter 688 Apology
Considering everyone in the martial arts world knew of the Medicine God Sect, they were shocked by Jared’s revelation. What made matters worse was that Jared had made the accusation right in front of its most senior elder, which was the equivalent of suicide.
In fact, Samuel and Theodore broke out in cold sweat, worried that Axton would be enraged.
On the contrary, Xander and Sean were ecstatic over what was going on.
“Kid, you must have a death wish for maligning the Medicine God Sect,” Donald threatened with an angry stare.
“So what? Are you trying to attack me? As someone who has been defeated by me, you have no right to speak here,” Jared replied coldly.
“You…”
Donald was outraged being humiliated in front of everyone by Jared’s words. Losing his temper, he attempted to charge at Jared.
“Donald!”
Holding Donald back, Axton smiled at Jared. “Jared, you must have misunderstood our intentions. We were not there to steal the pill at all. Nevertheless, I apologize for our recklessness last night.”
As Medicine God Sect’s most senior elder, why is Mr. Knox apologizing?
Everyone present, including Jared, had not expected Axton to express his regret.
Now that Axton had apologized, Jared no longer held a grudge.
When the Cooper brothers saw what happened, their initial courage began to dampen. They were baffled as to what made Jared so special that someone like Axton had to apologize to him.
“Mr. Knox, wh-why did you say sorry to him?”
Donald couldn’t believe his ears. After all, there were many members of the martial arts world present. If word about the matter got out, it would be detrimental to the Medicine God Sect’s reputation.
“Shut up!” Axton shot Donald a glare before sweeping his gaze across the crowd. “Today, I will mediate this matter as a representative of the Medicine God Sect. The duel held here is a battle to resolve a conflict between two persons. I hope that no one will interfere until it is completed. Whoever breaks the rules of the martial arts world will feel the wrath of the Medicine God Sect.”
Xander was stunned to hear Axton’s words. Is he trying to get me killed?
With one hand broken and all his martial energy spent, Xander would meet certain death if he was to continue fighting Jared.
“We will comply with Mr. Knox’s words,” Samuel declared before giving both Tommy and Phoenix a look.
After both of them nodded in acknowledgment, they signaled both the Templar and Phoenix Regiment to back down.
Now that Jared obviously had the advantage, there was no need for them to interfere.
However, Sean continued to protect Xander with the Cooper family’s men. He refused to leave, for he was sure that Jared would definitely take Xander’s life.
“Did you not hear what I just said?” Axton shot Sean an icy gaze.
Sean pleaded, “Mr. Knox, the Cooper family has no quarrel with the Medicine God Sect. If you’re able to help us out this once, we will be greatly indebted-”
“What are you trying to say? Are you bribing me in front of everyone?” Axton interrupted with a narrowed gaze. “As an honorable faction, the Medicine God Sect is duty-bound to protect the rules of the martial arts world and ensure that no one breaks them. Given that it was your family that issued the challenge, you have no excuse to go against the rules. Now, all of you should stand down.”
Not bothered to show Sean any respect, Axton put him in a difficult position.
Upon Sean’s defiance, Axton unleashed a frightening aura and thundered, “Stand down!”
