Rowena glanced at Neville, then lowered her head and gave a small shake. "I... I wouldn't dare."
Neville looked at her. "That's exactly what you're thinking. Don't assume I don't know. You've followed me for so long. Do you really think I don't understand how you think?"
Rowena went quiet. She honestly could not understand why Neville was doing this.
What was so special about Jared? Why would the entire Nethergate Sect risk their lives for him? Was it really just for a Golden Pass? Or a promise made years ago? She did not quite believe that.
"Did you ever look into this Jared?" Neville asked.
Rowena shook her head. "No..."
"Then tell me. How can someone only at Human Immortal Realm Level Three come all the way to level nine?"
"Do you know why he offended Malevolent Path Hall and is still alive? Do you know how a cultivator at Human Immortal Realm Level Three could have a grudge with the Soul Devourer?" Neville's rapid questions left Rowena stunned.
She really did not know.
All she knew were the things Jared himself had mentioned. He said he had grudges with those people, but she had no idea what actually happened.
"Let me tell you," Neville said. "Jared may only be at Human Immortal Realm Level Three, but he defeated a Top Level Human Immortal Realm Level Nine cultivator. Even when he faced four Top Level Human Immortal Realm Level Nine cultivators at the same time, he could still fight. Let me tell you something else. Jared didn't just offend Malevolent Path Hall. He even killed Morcant, their Dharma King, and their celestial lord. Let me tell you one more thing. When the Soul Devourer returned to level nine covered in injuries, it was because of Jared. Do you really think Jared is just an ordinary cultivator? If he were, how could he have gotten the Golden Pass from the Vermilion Demon Lord?"
Rowena froze, completely shocked. "Mr. Contreras... are you saying Jared has a powerful force behind him?"
"Of course," Neville said with a small, calm smile. "Otherwise, how could he survive Malevolent Path Hall's pursuit, and even make them lose people like the Dharma King and the celestial lord?"
This was why he saved Jared, and why he was willing to gamble the entire Nethergate Sect's future on him. It was never just about a Golden Pass or an old promise.
