Chapter 2651 Being Reasonable
- “Enough...” Helius waved his hand, signaling Ebenez to stop talking. Then, he regarded Jared with a hint of approval. “Not bad, young man. You're right. The Octo Ruler is your prize from the duel, so you need not surrender it. I was merely concerned that the Octo Ruler's power might be too overwhelming for you and could lead to unintended backfiring if you try to use it. That's why I suggested that you hand it over to me. I wasn't trying to oppress you.”
- Helius' good-natured response left everyone dumbfounded. They couldn't fathom why he was so unexpectedly amiable toward Jared.
- Even Jared himself was taken aback. He hadn't anticipated Helius' genial response at all.
