Hearing that they would have to go home if they didn't fight Jason made them display a variety of expressions ranging from shock, anger, nervousness to fear, and a little jealousy.
This was a great sight, but what Jason had just declared was something he didn't even have the jurisdictional power to say.
Yet, looking at Elder Ben, Jason felt reassured as the middle-aged man nodded his head, approving his decision.
That made many things easier, allowing him to ramble a little bit more as he further added,
"5 Minutes…if nobody challenges me until then, you guys shall return home with empty hands!"
With a prideful smile, he conveyed his superiority to the messengers and that he was fully aware of his high combat prowess.
Nevertheless, Jason was not being too arrogant in the face of the stronger opponents because that would be stupid, and almost suicidal.
