“Hmph, how petty…” Carla shot Judd a disdainful look. Just then, Dario returned. Upon seeing him, Carla hurried forward and asked, “Mr. Barclay, did the council discuss my master’s situation this time? He only exchanged a few words with Mr. Garrido, yet he’s being punished with thirty years of confinement. That’s way too harsh!”
“There’s not much we can do. Harlan is very adamant about it. However, some of us will continue to plead for Mr. Moreau’s case. You all should head back for now,” Dario responded.
Carla nodded and led the other disciples away.
Once she had left, Dario dismissed Judd and the others as well, leaving only him and Jared in the hall.
“You’ve caused quite a stir. People will take notice of you. Learn to keep a low profile. That way, you won’t attract unwanted attention,” Dario warned Jared.
“Don’t worry, I know my limits,” Jared assured and nodded.
Dario didn’t question Jared’s identity or strength.
Having accepted payment, Dario knew what to ask and what not to ask.
This was a matter of principle.
Accepting money to solve problems meant adhering to certain rules. Only by doing so could future cooperation be ensured.
With internal conflicts and Harlan eliminating dissenters, Dario was uncertain how much longer he could remain in Violet Flame Sect.
Seizing the opportunity to make money was his primary concern now.
