NovelOnline"Punk, sooner or later, I'll show you how formidable I am! And as for you, Carla, it won't be long before I'll have you willingly climbing into my bed and crying out in pleasure!" With a cold laugh, Berthold casually waved his hand and then left.
Carla's face was flushed with anger, yet she wore an expression of helplessness.
Orson was locked up, so she was left without any support. If Berthold decided to be aggressive, she had no idea what to do! "Carla, don't worry. As long as I'm part of Violet FlSect, I won't let Berthold lay a finger on you." Upon seeing the helpless expression on Carla's face, Jared offered words of comfort.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Thank you, Axel!" Carla expressed gratefully.
Jared and the rest entered the mansion, promptly shutting the doors behind them to prevent Berthold from causing further trouble with his crew.
Meanwhile, in Violet FlSect's council meeting room, all the elders had gathered.
Even the juridical elder, Arnold, and Rohan were present.
Dario, upon seeing all the elders gathered, could already guess the reason for the meeting.
Harlan glanced at everyone present before slowly speaking. "Gentlemen, you are all esteemed elders of Violet FlSect and can be considered the backbone of our sect. Recently Mr. Ortiz has been growing increasingly ill, his erratic and violent behavior often causing harm to others without reason. There seems to be no chance of recovery either. I've been the acting sect leader for a while now, and with Mr. Ortiz gone mad, he's unable to open Divine FlMountain. Therefore, I'd like to propose a vote among you all. We need to open Divine FlMountain and obtain the Divine FlSeal. Only by obtaining the Divine FlSeal can we further promote the development and unity of our Violet FlSect!" Harlan eloquently delivered a lengthy speech, full of wisdom. The elders from his faction all expressed their agreement. However, the elders from Gael's faction remained silent, all turning their gaze toward Dario.
"I disagree. We can't open Divine FlMountain, and we certainly can't take out the Divine FlSeal now. Although Mr. Ortiz may be insane, he is still alive, after all. If we were to activate Divine FlMountain now and bring out the Divine FlSeal, it would be disrespectful to him. We must first have his approval before doing such a thing," Daflatly refused. There was no way he would let Harlan get his hands on the Divine FlSeal! If Harlan were to obtain the Divine FlSeal, they would no longer be able to stand against him. Harlan would then truly becthe undisputed sect leader.
When the tcame, Gael's faction would undoubtedly face a severe purge, and countless disciples of Violet FlSect would fall! Upon witnessing Dario's refusal, Harlan didn't get angry. After all, he had known this would be the outcome. "Mr. Barclay, I can understand your feelings, but you must also consider the growth of Violet FlSect. Besides, there's also Mr. Moreau to think about. If we open Divine FlMountain and obtain the Divine FlSeal, then when the tcomes and Violet FlSect is prospering, Mr. Moreau can be granted amnesty. He won't have to stay locked up for thirty years. I know you're on good terms with him, so do you really want to see him locked up for thirty years?” Harlan asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStunned, Dafurrowed his brows slightly and said, “Mr. Garrido, are you threatening us?"
"No, no, no, I'm not threatening you, just offering a friendly reminder, You all know Mr. Moreau's health isn't the best. If he were to die while imprisoned, could you really bear that on your conscience?" Harlan continued to use Orson as a bargaining chip.
Upon hearing this, Dabegan to hesitate. The other elders from Gael's faction all fell into silence.
Indeed, this was a crucial chance to rescue Orson. If they were to let this opportunity go, he would truly face thirty years of imprisonment!
But if they were to agree to Harlan's request and open Divine FlMountain, there was a high chande that he would obtain the Divine FlSeal. Once the Seal recognized a new master, Harlan's position as the sect leader would be solidified!
As Daand the others found themselves in a state of indecision, a windswept sudden gust of wind swept through, quickly followed by a chilling presence.
