“Mr. Ortiz, I’ve laid bare the truth before you now. You aren’t planning to harm me, are you?”
As Jared glanced at Gael, who was heartily laughing, a hint of nervousness crept into his voice.
“No! There’s no way I’d even think about plotting against my dear son-in-law,” Gael replied with a laugh.
“Son-in-law?” Taken aback, Jared quickly waved his hands and said, “Mr. Ortiz, please don’t misunderstand. There’s really nothing between me and Juliet.”
“Enough, no need for further explanations. I can tell that my daughter doesn’t find you repulsive. Besides, you’ve already seen her naked. Don’t you think you should take responsibility?” Gael said.
Jared was shocked to hear that. He couldn’t understand how Gael knew about him seeing Juliet naked.
Moreover, Gael was confined here, and was mad some of the time. How could he possibly
know what was happening outside?
“Mr. Ortiz, this is slander. I assure you, I’ve never laid eyes on Juliet’s body.”
Jared could only grit his teeth and deny it. After all, this was not something to be proud of.
“Denial won’t change anything. Don’t assume that because I’m confined here, I’m ignorant of what’s happening at the Violet Flame Sect. There may be times when my spiritual sense is manipulated and causes me to become mad, but I am not a fool,” Gael said.
Upon hearing that, Jared quickly changed the subject. “Mr. Ortiz, what exactly is going on with your erratic behavior? If you allow it, I might be able to help treat you. However, I have one condition. If I successfully treat you, I hope you will teach me the fire fusion technique!”
Jared intended to use that condition as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Gael.
After all, if Gael didn’t want to teach him the fire fusion technique because there wasn’t any personal gain, Jared couldn’t possibly force him to!
