Upon hearing that, Juliet quickly stepped in front of Jared. “Father, you can’t harm him. He’s Mr. Barclay’s disciple. If you dare to hurt him, I’ll never speak to you again.”
“Fine. I won’t harm him. You claim you’re not smitten, yet you’re standing up for him, even threatening to disregard your father. I’m just going to have a chat with him. I won’t lay a hand on him. After all, I can’t possibly hand over my daughter to a man I know nothing about,” Gael replied helplessly.
Jared gently patted Juliet’s shoulder, saying, “Juliet, you should go. I believe Mr. Ortiz won’t harm me. I’ll have a good chat with him.”
Upon hearing Jared’s words, Juliet nodded and then stepped out.
As soon as Juliet stepped out of the grand hall, Gael’s expression instantly turned incredibly cold, losing all traces of the warmth he had just displayed.
Upon seeing the sudden change in Gael’s countenance, Jared couldn’t help but shudder inwardly.
“Brat, who exactly are you? Why are you trying to get close to my daughter?” Gael asked in a chilling tone.
“Mr. Ortiz, I am Mr. Barclay’s disciple, an inner court disciple of Violet Flame Sect. My name is Axel Chadwick. I didn’t intentionally approach Juliet.” Jared feigned innocence as he spoke.
“Hmph! Mr. Barclay’s disciple? There’s no way Mr. Barclay could take in a disciple like you who could destroy the Death Trap Formation so casually. I suspect your abilities are not below Mr. Barclay’s How much money did you give to Mr. Barclay? What is your real purpose for coming to Violet Flame Sect?” Gael directly exposed Jared.
Though Jared had just managed to deceive Juliet by reducing the potency of the Death Trap Formations, he couldn’t fool Gael.
Jared hadn’t expected that Gael could see through everything.
“Mr. Ortiz, I assure you, I bear no ill intentions, nor do I wish to harm Juliet in any way. I joined the Violet Flame Sect to learn the fire fusion technique from you,” Jared responded truthfully.
“Fire fusion technique?” Gael scrutinized Jared. “I do indeed know the fire fusion technique, but do you really think I would tell you? I don’t even know who you are.”
“Even though I relied on unconventional methods to enter Violet Flame Sect, I had told you the truth in other aspects. My name is Axel Chadwick, a wandering cultivator,” Jared said.
