“Ms. Nieva, am | supposed to take these twelve people with me? This... Isnt this a bit too much? I'm afraid | might not be able to protect them all!” Jared expressed his concern with a slight frown.
Had it been just one or two people, it would have been more convenient for Jared to manage. However, these were twelve individuals! How could Jared possibly look out for them all? If danger were to strike, was he supposed to run alone, or would he have to flee with these people? Right now, Jared had already mastered Blazing Stride. Even if he encountered a Top Level Tribulator, he could still likely escape if he chose to flee.
But if he were to bring along so many people, then there would be no way to make a quick getaway! After all, these people were simply too weak, only Sixth Level Tribulators.
If they were all Top Level Tribulators, Jared would have been more than happy to bring them with him.

Her expression shifted abruptly, her eyes brimming with anger as she snapped, “Hmph! You sure talk big. You're just a lowly Third Level Tribulator, yet you dare to make such claims? We'll see who ends up protecting whom!” “Bianca, shut up.” Nieva shot a stern glance at the female cultivator, who closed her mouth.
Jared also felt that he might have gone a bit too far with his words, so he didn’t bother to argue.
“Mr. Chance, take them with you. There’s no need to look after them. If danger arises, feel free to leave first.
Don’t concern yourself with their fate. In the end, there can only be one true holy maiden in Lunarius Palace, so inevitably, sof them will have to be eliminated.” To Jared's shock, Nieva uttered such words in front of these holy maidens.
However, the holy maidens didn’t seem surprised at all, as if they already knew their own destiny and outcome! “Ms. Nieva, | promise I'll do my best to protect them!” Jared said somewhat sheepishly.
“Bianca, for the upcoming journey to the polar region in two days, you and the other eleven holy maidens must adhere to Mr. Chance’s plans. When necessary, you must ensure Mr. Chance’s safety, even if it means putting yourselves in harm’s way. The trip to the polar region this tis pivotal for the future fate and development of Lunarius Palace. It also concerns your own destinies. Whoever shows the most improvement and makes the greatest contribution during this polar region expedition can becthe sole holy maiden of Lunarius Palace.
The rest will be demoted to ordinary inner circle disciples!” Nieva told Bianca and the others.
“Ms. Nieva, we still need to ensure his safety?” Bianca frowned slightly as she spoke.
Jared's words had already left a bitter taste in Bianca’s mouth. She had long been irritated, so the very notion of them having to sacrifice themselves to protect Jared's life was, in her view, nothing short of a joke.

It was likely that even the demon beasts on the way to the polar region could kill him in a single bite! Having them protect Jared while risking their lives was simply adding unnecessary burden! “Do you have any objections?” Nieva asked with furrowed brows, an icy aura instantly bursting forth from her.
“I wouldn't dare!” Bianca humbly lowered her head.
However, it was clear to see that these holy maidens all had a hint of indignance in their eyes. After all, they were all Sixth Level Tribulators, while Jared was merely a Third Level Tribulator.
The disparity in their abilities was simply too vast! It was one thing to have Jared leading them, but to expect them to risk their lives to ensure his safety was utterly outrageous! Nieva could tell that these holy maidens were not satisfied with having to be subservient to Jared.
In their view, Jared was nothing more than a weak Third Level Tribulator.
Nieva sternly warned, “Don’t underestimate Mr. Chance’s capabilities. Despite his appearance as a mere Third Level Tribulator, even if all twelve of you join forces, you still wouldn't stand a chance against him. Who among you is confident enough to withstand a single move from Ms. Mueller?” “Ms. Nieva, Ms. Mueller is a Top Level Tribulator and is proficient in ice-based techniques. Forget about just one of us; even if all of us were to gang up against her, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to withstand Ms. Mueller’s Ice Seal technique!” Bianca answered truthfully.
