In the end, there was no need for Jason to do anything about the messenger gathering.
Yet, somehow his entire being told him that it was the best if he were to fight against the other messengers right now.
It would be a good way to show his support to the Yinar race, and the city, while setting up an improved method of carrying out the messenger gathering event could only be advantageous.
However, that was not all because he could finally figure out how different the cultivation techniques and combat experience of the Agran that were trained by different races were.
This was quite interesting, and something Jason looked forward to.
At the same time, he was not oblivious to the fact that he would offend everyone except the Yinar race and the Agran that were not bound by soul contracts.
'Well, who cares?' He thought with a shrug after some time as he got ready to fight anyone, right off the bat.
However, the fights would start tomorrow, with today being the last chance for everyone to start negotiating peacefully.
This realization jolted the messengers who had slackened a little.
Their initial reaction was to complain about the change in the gathering's rules until they understood that it was useless.
Afterward, they kept giving their best to start negotiating, but with the given orders of the foreign races, this was close to impossible.
As such, the day was exactly the same as the previous ones- wasted without any tangible results!
Thus, everyone was displeased when they returned to their rooms including Jason.
He was extremely frustrated.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})Initially, he had proposed tweaking the gathering's rule so as to make the messengers be serious about it and give a helping hand to the Yinar race, or to be precise, Elder Ben.
However, after Elder Ben had accepted his proposal to change the rules, Jason had gotten excited to fight.
The messengers were not at an extremely high cultivation base but that was what made it possible for him to consider fighting them, to begin with.
Yet, after he changed his clothes, and fell onto the bed, Jason was unable to not complain while muttering disappointedly,
"I wanted to face the Yinar race's elite."
It was like the complaint of a small child, and Jason knew that he was acting a little bit childish right now, but his excitement to fight, using his whole combat prowess had been too high.
Jennifer noticed all of this, but instead of consoling Jason straightaway, she couldn't help but look at him lying on the bed with a slightly frustrated facial expression.
Smiling, she couldn't help but feel that he was unable to hide his true emotions, which was something she liked.
After all, it meant that she would notice when he was frustrated, angry, happy, sad and so on.
Changing into more comfortable clothes, she laid next to him, and snuggled in his embrace before asking.
"We should rest today, right?"
Jennifer didn't even realize that her voice sounded disappointed, because she already knew that Jason had to rest. It had been a tiring day to get answers from Elder Ben.
Additionally, he needed to sleep well. Otherwise, how would he be able to fight against a few dozen messengers one after another on the following day?
As such, being in his arms, she decided to sleep instead of cultivating.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})It was not bad to have a break from the pressure of cultivating and becoming stronger, after all.
**
On the next day, Jason woke up early, and before doing anything else, he slowly got up from the bed, trying not to wake up Jennifer.
Afterward, he stretched his body and did a small work out which was something he hadn't done for a while.
It was demanding but a subtle smile curled his lips upward as he finished his workout.
In the end, it was extremely refreshing, and he quickly took a bath before putting on his combat suit.
By the time he was ready, Jennifer woke up.
Rubbing her drowsy eyes, she saw that Jason was already ready, which caused her to get up before she walked through the room with unsteady steps.
Changing into whatever she could lay her hands on, she put on a fresh set of clothes, and she quickly grasped Jason before stifling a yawn.
"Let's go."
She was not even fully awake yet, but instead of continuing to sleep, Jennifer wanted to see Jason's fight.
As such, they walked towards the combat arena together, which Jason quickly found with the use of his Emperor Eyes.
His eyes swept through the inside of the arena that looked quite ordinary to spot Jan, who was practicing his martial art.
A few messengers were spread through the arena, relentlessly trying to improve their combat prowess.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"}) When Jason perceived this through his Emperor Eyes, he couldn't help but smile, thinking that they were not completely ignorant.
They might've appeared calm the day before, but that didn't seem to be the case anymore.
Their poker face had disappeared and were replaced by nervousness which only increased when they arrived inside the combat arena. They walked in hesitantly where Jan greeted them with a sly smile.
The young Yinar had fought against Jason just two days ago, and he was fully aware that Jason hadn't used his entire combat prowess yet.
As such, he knew that the Agran who tried to release their tension and regain some of his martial art proficiency would lose.
This was crystal clear to him, and when Jan saw Jason entering the combat arena, he quickly approached him.
"Brother Jason, you're finally here!!"
Hearing Jan's voice, Jason turned towards the youth before smiling lightly,
'Brother?'
It didn't sound bad to be called brother, but it was also a little bit weird, causing him to look at Jan in confusion.
Yet, rather than complaining, he nodded his head while greeting Jan.
Jason thought that calling someone around one's age brother might be a way of acknowledging another, maybe even showing them respect.
However, Jason was not familiar with the Yinar race's tradition yet.
As such, he couldn't know for sure.
Nevertheless, right now, Jason was not interested in finding out more about it as the gazes he received were rather distractive.
Looking over to the few messengers who were already there, and preparing to fight, he smiled lightly. Then he sat on a bench and cultivated while waiting for the others to arrive.
During his cultivation, he was also speaking with his soulbonds, whom he didn't have much chance to pay attention to the day before.
Many things had happened in such a short period, but even if it was just a single day, his soulbonds were clearly showing their discontent with his behavior.
It was almost as if his soulbonds felt that he had abandoned and completely neglected them.
This was beyond ridiculous, and Jason couldn't help but smile lightly while speaking with his soulbonds.
Jennifer saw this, and even though she knew what he was doing, it was impossible for her to be completely unaffected.
'Does that mean I will have to share him??' She just realized. Squinting her eyes, she stared daggers at him, but Jason didn't notice anything because his mind was in the soul world.
All of his soulbonds had more or less the same complaints from him, which caused Jason to feel a little bit odd.
'They are truly clingy…but why are all of them like that?' Since he bound Artemis, every single soulbond had become extremely clingy, but Jason was oblivious to the reason for this to be the case.
He simply presumed it to be his Celestia bloodline, but that was something he couldn't know for sure.
Yet, before he could continue thinking about his soulbonds, Jason noticed that someone other than Jennifer had appeared before him.
Leaving the soul world, he looked upwards and saw one of the few properly trained messengers he had seen the day before.
His expression was annoyed and there was a clear sign that told him that he didn't plan on holding back in anything he was about to do.
"I'm not patient. So let's fight, and then I can finally resume proposing the ignorant bullshit I was told to propose!"
