Michael didn't think it was a problem to consider himself the gardener of the Untamed Jungle. At some point, the entire Untamed Jungle would be part of his territory. Taking care of it until then—and even after that—was part of his job as a good Lord.
He continued guiding Jason through Arx, but not long before he found Lilica and the other Forest Elven Adventurers. He told them to show Jason around and added a slight warning with Whispering Energy.
["Tell Jason that I will take his Soultrait and give it to one of you guys if he acts up."]
Michael winked at the Forest Elves, which was enough for Jason to shudder. He had a bad feeling and decided to stay low profile until he got a better view of the territory's overall situation.
The Forest Elves left Michael alone, giving him enough time to complete the other tasks that had to be completed before the Interdimensional Flag War started.
