The Man’s Decree – Chapter 2636

Following Ebenez’s command, his disciples, swarmed forward to seize Jared.

Upon seeing that, Zebediah quickly led Ghaylen’s disciples to shield Jared behind them.

“What right do the lot of you have to seize him? Even if he’s to be punished, it should be on the orders of Mr. Holt. Mr. Erdell has no right to do so!” Zebediah declared loudly.

He was right in that all rewards and punishments in the sect had to be ordered by the sect leader. Ebenez was not in charge of that, merely given the responsibility to distribute resources and evaluate the sect members. He had no right to punish other elders’ disciples in Emerald Cauldron Sect, and that was why Zebediah made that statement.

Unbeknownst to Zebediah, his remark hit Ebenez where it hurt.
