Not long after Jared stepped out of Juliet’s courtyard, he saw Dario and Judd waiting for him. They hadn’t left!
“Axel, what did Juliet ask you to stay for? She didn’t actually perform a striptease for you, did she?” Judd teased Jared playfully.
“Shut up!” Dario glared 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 Flame Sect hurriedly arrived. “Mr. Barclay, Mr. Garrido is waiting in the council meeting room. He requests all elders to come to the council meeting room immediately!”
“What is Harlan 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. Barclay, 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 Flame 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 Carla, standing guard at the door with a dozen or so disciples, engaged in a standoff with Berthold!
