However, Vastis still said nothing. Instead, slowly descended and began walking step by step toward Jared.
Seeing this, Dexton started laughing. Aziel also smirked slightly, eagerly anticipating how the Bloodbane Palace would kill Jared.
Once Vastis reached Jared, bowed deeply, then spoke politely. “Mr. Chance, I sincerely apologize… Our young master, Mr. Jack, offended you. He fully deserved his fate. However, was instigated by others… I hope you won’t hold it against Bloodbane Palace. Ms. Nymeria personally sent me to offerthis apology…”
Vastis’s sincerity took Jared by surprise.
Everyone else watching was utterly stunned.
Especially, Dexton, who stared at Vastis in disbelief before shouting, “Vastis, has Bloodbane Palace really become this spineless? Your Mr. Jack was killed, and now you’re apologizing?”
“Silence! If not for your instigation, hoping to get someone else to kill Mr. Jack on your behalf, would never have died!”
The moment the words left his mouth, Vastis struck without hesitation.
A flash of blood-red light shot toward Dexton in an instant. His expression changed dramatically. He quickly formed a hand seal, and a shield appeared before him.
Bang!
With a deafening crash, Dexton was sent flying. The moment hit the ground, Vastis leaped forward again, sending out another streak of blood-red light.
This time, it was even faster, piercing directly into Dexton’s body.
Dexton stood frozen in place, motionless. “You dare lay a hand on someone from Heavenfall Pavilion?!”
Aziel rushed forward in panic, trying to help Dexton. However, Dexton remained standing there, completely still, his eyes filled with terror.
He might have been skilled in array craft, but in terms of raw power, was no match for Bloodbane Palace’s Vastis. That was why had ended up in such a sorry state.
“Aziel, summon Mr. Gallegos…” Dexton gritted out, barely able to speak. He knew that if no one came to rescue them now, both and Aziel were as good as dead.
Aziel nodded, quickly snatching the emerald badge from Dexton’s waist and crushing it.
In an instant, a mysterious force enveloped both Dexton and Aziel. An illusory shadow slowly appeared in front of them.
“Mr. Gallegos, save me!” Dexton cried out urgently.
The sect leader of Heavenfall Pavilion, Radmus Gallegos had arrived, but it was only his illusory shadow.
Vastis’s expression shifted slightly upon seeing it. He didn’t have the nerve to kill a Heavenfall Pavilion elder right in front of the sect leader.
“Do you think you can just slaughter our Heavenfall Pavilion elders like that?” Radmus’ voice rang out coldly.
“Mr. Gallegos, you should be well aware of what your people have done,” Vastis replied.
Radmus slowly turned his head to look at Dexton, making the latter’s face go completely pale.
“Your elder incited our Mr. Jack to go after Mr. Chance. He told Mr. Chance had a magical item from the ancient ruins, which directly led to Mr. Jack’s death. Do you not think we deserve an explanation from Heavenfall Pavilion?” Vastis demanded.
Of course Radmus knew about it. It had been his idea in the first place. But there was no way could admit it now.
“Jared killed your Mr. Jack. If you want revenge, go after Jared. What does that have to do with Heavenfall Pavilion? Are you trying to bully us because you think we have no one?” Radmus’s voice was icy.
“I didn’t instigate anyone! Jack was too stupid. He got greedy all on his own. What does that have to do with me? I told plenty of people that Jared had a magical item from the ancient ruins. Why didn’t anyone else die?” Dexton snapped back, now emboldened by the presence of Radmus.
