“Did you three take Mr. Chance’s celestial crystals? Is this some kind of treachery?”
Upon seeing the situation, Orion furrowed his brows as he addressed the three cultivators who were in black robes.
After all, these three individuals were brought in by Orion. However, even Orion was unaware of their true identities.
“Everyone has their own ambitions. I hope you would understand, my friend, that the allure of thirty thousand celestial crystals was simply too hard to resist!”
One of the cultivators in black robes spoke up.
“If you dare to oppose Mr. Chance, then you’re opposing me. If that’s the case, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Orion’s face darkened as he was ready to take action against those three.
Cassian and Yelena were both ready to make their move. Since they had different principles and couldn’t get along together, they were left with no choice but to become enemies.
However, Jared reached out to stop Orion, his face calm as he said, “Men will do anything to succeed. Their aid to me was due to the celestial crystals, and their assistance to Tenth Hall was also for the celestial crystals.
Naturally, they would side with whoever offered more. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
“Mr. Chance, they took your celestial crystals first,” Orion declared indignantly.
“I know. If they choose to betray, then so be it. Everyone has their own choices to make. They took my celestial crystals, yet refused to work for me, but I won’t hold it against them.”
Jared spoke with considerable poise.
Jared said this with the intention of making Orion and others utterly devoted to him.
After all, Jared was so magnanimous toward those who had betrayed him. Those like them, who followed Jared, could only expect to receive even more in return.
Observing the situation, the overlord of Tenth Hall, Tennyson, on the side let out a subtle chuckle. “What a fitting phrase, ‘Men will do anything to succeed.’ I quite like this saying. I’ll give you the celestial crystals right now!”
After Tennyson finished speaking, he tossed out an item pouch. It contained ninety thousand celestial crystals, just enough for the three black-robed cultivators to have thirty thousand each.
The moment the three cultivators in black robes got their hands on the celestial crystals, they immediately turned their attention to Jared and his companions.
Orion and his companions were on high alert, ready to act at any moment.
“Since you’ve taken the money, isn’t it time to make your move?”
Tennyson urged the three black-robed cultivators.
