Not long after Jared stepped out of Juliet’s courtyard, he saw Dario and Judd waiting for him. They hadn’t left!This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    “Axel, what did Juliet ask you to stay for? She didn’t actually perform a striptease for you, did she?” Judd teased Jared yfully.


    “Shut up!” Dario red at Judd, then turned to Jared and said, “Ms. Ortiz has had a hard life, so I hope you won’t make things difficult for her.”


    Dario didn’t want Jared to trouble Juliet. If he truly asked Juliet to dance naked, that would be crossing a line!


    “I understand!” Jared nodded in agreement.


    At that very moment, a disciple from Violet me Sect hurriedly arrived. “Mr. Bary, Mr. Garrido is waiting in the council meeting room. He requests all elders toe to the council meeting room immediately!”


    “What is Han up to now?” Upon hearing this, Judd’s brow immediately furrowed.


    Dario’s expression subtly shifted. “Could this sudden meeting be due to the matter concerning Berthold?”


    “Mr. Bary, I’m not sure what the matter is either. Mr. Garrido simply asked for your immediate presence!” that disciple said.


    “All right, I’ll be right there!” Dario nodded.


    He then turned to Judd and Jared, advising them, “You two should head back to the mansion. Don’t wander around aimlessly to avoid inviting trouble. Berthold has returned, so he’s bound to assert his authority at Violet me Sect!”


    “Understood, Master!” Judd gave a slight nod.


    Dario returned, while Judd followed Jared back to the mansion.


    Just as they approached the mansion’s entrance, they were surprised to find quite a crowd gathered at the doorway.


    The person leading the group was none other than Berthold. By his side, leaning on a pair of crutches, was Thiago.


    Thiago had yet to recover at this point, relying heavily on crutches for mobility.


    And there was Ca, standing guard at the door with a dozen or so disciples, engaged in a standoff with Berthold!


    With a suggestive gleam in his eyes, Berthold looked at Ca and said, “Ca, in the years since I left, you’ve truly be more radiant. Now that Mr. Moreau has been imprisoned, you’re left without a master, alone and unsupported. How about joining me? I promiseto make you drunk with pleasure every night.”


    “Pah, Berthold, you lecher! Sooner orter, someone will castrate you, leaving you useless,” Ca spat forcefully.


    “Ca, you’re quite bold. Berthold is the young master of Violet me Sect now, so how dare you speak to him like that?” Thiago bellowed at Ca.


    “He was expelled from the sect a long time ago. He’s not even a disciple of Violet me Sect anymore, so calling him the young master of the sect is a joke,” Ca said coldly.


    “Regardless of whether I’m the young master or not, I want to y with you. Who dares to stop me?”


    With a smirk, Berthold reached out to grab Ca.


    Ca wanted to dodge, but she found herself enveloped by Berthold’s aura, making it impossible for her to move. This sent her into a panic.


    Just as Berthold was about to seize Ca, suddenly, a figure appeared, standing protectively in front of her.


    Following that, the surge of another’s aura instantly shattered Berthold’s aura, allowing Ca to regain her freedom.


    Taken aback, Berthold scrutinized the person before him.


    “Berthold, this guy is Axel Chadwick, the new disciple Mr. Bary recently took in.”


    Upon seeing Jared, Thiago’s eyes filled with rage.


    Berthold nced at Jared, a smirk ying on his lips. “So you’re the one who bested Thiago and became an inner court disciple. You look rather ordinary. Dare you fight me? Today, I will take on all of you who dare to defy me…”


    “Do you think you’re worthy to be my opponent?” Jared’s eyes were filled with unmistakable disdain.


    Berthold hadn’t anticipated Jared’s audacity. His brow slightly furrowed, and his aura erupted once again!


    At that moment, a disciple hurriedly reminded from behind Berthold, “Mr. Berthold, please calm down. Mr. Garrido has made it clear that you mustn’t cause any trouble these couple of days. He has important matters to attend to today, so we can’t afford to disrupt his ns!”


    Upon hearing this, Berthold managed to suppress the anger brewing within him.He knew that today, a full assembly of the elders would be convened, aiming to openDivine me Mountain.


    If a conflict were to arise at this moment, it could potentially disrupt the meeting.
