The Man’s Decree

After leading Cloud and the others back to the small town, Jared and his companions rushed back to Stellaris Sect on board one of their airships.

This time, Stellaris Sect had suffered a significant blow. In terms of airships alone, they had lost more than half their fleet. It would take a long time for them to recover.

Upon his arrival at Stellaris Sect, Jared didn’t intend to make a stop. However, he ended up staying a day after giving in to Renault’s repeated requests.

Despite the sect’s huge loss, they were still a lot wealthier than an ordinary sect. Renault entertained Jared lavishly for one day. When Jared was about to leave, Cloud mustered the courage and asked, “Mr. Chance, can… can I leave with you?”

He knew that staying by Jared’s side would be a fantastic training and learning experience. However, he had been reluctant to make the request all this while because Jared might think him too weak and see him as a burden.

That was why he only brought the topic up at the very last minute.
