“Mr. Darkmore, if others choose to act, that is their decision. We should refrain from getting involved in this matter,” Lauden stated, his expression growing stern.
He had resolved not to assist Jared, but at the same time, he was determined not to harm him either.
The Five Great Sects, after all, had no personal or familial connection with Jared, leaving Lauden with no obligation to intervene on his behalf.
“Mr. Delacroix, we-” Heinrik began, only to be interrupted.
“Enough,” Lauden interjected firmly. “I’ve made my decision. Once Jared and his companions leave our territory tomorrow, we will seal off the base. For the time being, no one is to enter or exit.” His hand waved dismissively, finalizing the decision.
Seeing Lauden’s resolute stance, the others fell silent, knowing it was inappropriate to further challenge his authority.
In the Five Great Sects, Lauden’s word was law.
As everyone dispersed from the hall, Heinrik’s eyes lingered with a hint of greed. The opportunity presented by the Demon Seal Alliance was too significant to be easily ignored.
Meanwhile, in Jared’s room, Catina suddenly woke up, her face etched with panic. “Jared, wake up, wake up… she implored, shaking Jared awake from his deep slumber.
“It’s so late, and you’re still not finished?” Jared groaned sleepily. “How many times has it been now? Let me rest a bit.” Jared’s tone was one of exasperated helplessness.
Catina’s persistent demands had begun to wear on him, and he was grateful that Feenix, usually occupied with playing with the telepathic beast, wasn’t adding to his burden.
