Joe did not have any interest in the metaphysics alliance but he planned to stay behind just to watch the show.
Very soon, a middle-aged man with a beard stood up.
After that, the man took out a piece of jade before he placed it on his palm. The jade shone brightly as the wind blew against it. At this time, the man suddenly spoke up, “I am Jared Young from Dayton. I would like to challenge Mr. Yaleman.”
The Young family had always been focused on metaphysics and their main focus was on divine forecast. In fact, their skills and abilities had been passed down from generation to generation.
Jared was the forty-sixth descendant of the Young family and he was also very famous and well-known in Dayton for his abilities. Therefore, he was very proud and confident. That was why he chose Jack as his opponent even in the first challenge!
“Alright then!”
Everyone started applauding at this time.
Jared raised his head arrogantly as he said, “This piece of jade in my hand has been passed from generation to generation and it is definitely the best of the best relics for divine forecast in metaphysics. Therefore, I believe that the Young family should be ranked first in the metaphysics circle!”
At this time, Jack also walked towards the other party as he nodded at Jared before he smiled and said, “Yes, the jade that you are holding in your hand is indeed one of a kind but I am afraid that it will not belong to you soon…”
After that, Jack reached into his pocket before he took out his wallet. He looked around for a short while before he took out a small one inch long rune paper from his wallet. The rune paper had a bright luster and it seemed as though it had been marked with a cinnabar.”
“The Arhat Golden Talisman!”
The crowd exclaimed excitedly as soon as they saw the golden talisman.
Jasmine took this opportunity to explain to Joe, “The Arhat Golden Talisman was made by eighteen eminent monks who chanted for forty-nine days before making the consecrated and refined talisman. It is a very powerful talisman to use against evil.”
Joe smiled before he said, “So, it’s not a good thing.”
Everyone glanced at Joe in disgust as soon as they heard his words.
At this time, Jack snorted before he said, “I might be the best at divine forecast but I trust in the abilities of this talisman.”
Everyone knew that the Arhat Golden Talisman was a very rare treasure. It was made after gathering eighteen accomplished monks at a favorable time, place, and condition. Therefore, the rate of enlightenment that a person would have after using this talisman was more than ninety percent!
Moreover, the golden talisman in Jack’s hand was emitting a golden light. It was probably worth at least a million dollars!
“Stop talking nonsense already. Let’s open a hexagram now…”
Jared snorted before he started making a few gestures as he started chanting a few formulas in his mouth. After a short while, he said, “After an hour, there will be heavy winds and thunder coming from the west.”
Jack smiled slightly as he raised his head and said, “Yes, there will definitely be some rumblings but it is not due to the wind or thunder. To be precise, the shock is caused by an explosion on the mountain and it is caused by man. Someone will pay the price for his actions today.”
Jared frowned before he shook his head and said, “No! That is impossible. I do not see anyone in the hexagram.”
Mr. Yaleman simply smiled without saying anything.
Everyone was curious as they waited for the results.
An hour passed by quickly and at this time, Jared was staring into space as he was feeling a little nervous.
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard from the west! After that, a strong wind swept across the garden and there was a slight vibration from the ground.
Zeke smiled as he looked at his cell phone and said, “Based on the news feed that I have just received, it seems as though someone tried to move some quarry rocks and it caused an explosion and a 2.4 magnitude earthquake in the west. The police have already arrested the culprit.”
At this time, Jared raised his head and he no longer looked as arrogant as he was before this. He smiled awkwardly before he said, “Mr. Yaleman, you’re really incredible! I admit defeat. Today, I, Jared Young, have lost to you. I will withdraw from this banquet immediately.”
After that, Jared picked up his jade before he turned around as he was prepared to leave.
“Slow down!” Zeke suddenly shouted. “Mr. Young, since you’ve already participated in the competition, then you should abide by the rules.”
“What rule are you referring to?” Jared asked with a sullen expression on his face.
“According to the rules, if you lose, the winner has a right to take something belonging to you! Moreover, you have to make a public declaration stating that you will show utmost respect to and obey all of Mr. Yaleman’s instructions in future.”
“Nonsense! This is just a banquet. There is no way I will allow you to rob me of my magic weapon just like that. Moreover, you are dreaming if you expect me to respect and follow someone else’s orders.”
Jared was very annoyed at this time. He was so arrogant and he had such a bad temper. How could he ever succumb to someone else’s orders?
Jack raised his hand as he brought out another talisman and he started chanting before he yelled, “Abide by the law!”
Crack!
At this time, Jared’s jade suddenly broke into two halves as it fell to the ground.
“You!”
Jared’s treasure was destroyed in front of everyone’s eyes and Jared was trembling with rage at this time.
Jack said in an arrogant manner, “If you refuse to abide by the rules, then it is only right for us to destroy the magical weapon! Don’t stand there and give me all these nonsensical excuses!”
Jared’s face was gray as he was in shock right now. He knew that he would never be able to defeat Jack.
Jack had destroyed his family treasure in just one blow and he did not even have the power to fight back at all.
Therefore, Jared glanced at the jade on the floor before he gritted his teeth and said, “Forget it! I will not fight with this kind of despicable person!”
After that, he turned around and left with a black face without even bothering to pick up the piece of jade on the ground.
As soon as everyone witnessed this scene, the expressions on their faces changed immediately. Jack was unfathomable. Those who were initially very confident suddenly hesitated at this time.
Travis also frowned as he whispered to Matthew in a low voice.
Immediately after that, Travis stood up before he waved his hands bitterly and said, “This is such a boring banquet that I am not enjoying at all. I will take my leave first.”
After that, Matthew also stood up as they both of them started making their way out of the banquet.
At this time, four strong and muscular men suddenly jumped out from left and right to block their way.
