Paxton looked toward Jagoan, his gaze filled with admiration and pride. He was very pleased with his performance thus far.
In reality, he did not offer much help to Jagoan, but he had only answered some of his queries on martial arts.
However, he admired Jagoan’s conduct very much and it had already been a long time since he encountered a young man of such character.
Most geniuses were arrogant, bloated with pride, and self-centered, never showing any concern for the people around them. The more powerful they were, the more selfish and despicable.
On the other hand, Jagoan was completely unlike that. On the contrary, he managed to remain true to himself and abided by his conscience from start to finish.
The rest of the people looked at Jagoan in admiration and respect as well.
Paxton patted Jagoan’s shoulder and said in delight, “With you around, I can retire, hah-hah!”
Yes, thanks to Jagoan, Ares could resign from his leading post in Rheasia.
It was because Jagoan was the sole candidate to become the new generation’s Ares due to his capabilities and morals.
Jagoan did not decline the offer because he understood the principle that power came with responsibility.
He had already planned on taking over Paxton’s position after reaching the invincibilis state and becoming the new Ares before he headed to Shangri-la.
The time had finally come.
“I promise that I won’t let you down,” Jagoan answered in all seriousness without being corny.
One by one, the people nearby had a slight change of expression upon hearing that. They knew that Jagoan had already begun to embark on the path of acquiring Rheasia’s authority.
It could be described as a giant leap for Jagoan, but it felt so logical and natural for him. In reality, it was Rheasia’s honor to have someone like him on its side.
Next, Paxton took Jagoan elsewhere and asked about the things that happened in Shangri-la. In turn,
Jagoan also asked him about the information related to the mysterious website. The answer he received was the same as the one he got from Insurgent Trifecta.
Jagoan frowned even more. He felt an intense feeling of unrest, as if there was a faction more powerful than the common world that he could neither see nor understand lurking in the darkness.
It was highly possible that the faction would bring catastrophe to the world.
At his level, he could feel some things that ordinary people could not feel in an unseen world.
However, Jagoan could not express the unrest he felt anyway. He had to learn about who Faye’s so-called biological father was!
Other than that, he had to start building his strength so he could handle the upcoming world war!
After the rest of the crowd left, Jagoan and Paxton took a stroll in the courtyard by themselves. Paxton said, “Jagoan, I can see that you seem to be troubled. Did something happen?”
Jagoan had no choice but to acknowledge that Paxton’s observational skills were keen. He could tell that Jagoan was troubled at one glance.
Jagoan did not beat around the bush either and said straightforwardly, “There is something indeed.”
“Oh, I wonder what it is?”
Jagoan stopped walking, looked at Paxton and said, “Sir Paxton, I wonder if you know who are the top five most powerful people of all the powerhouses in this world?”
Paxton was not astonished to hear that and said, “Are you going to challenge them to battle?”
