Carla shook favonovel.com head when favonovel.com heard that. “When Berthold left, favonovel.com was already an Eighth Level Tribulator. I don’t know how much he’s progressed. If favonovel.com were to do something crazy, I’d rather end my own life. Even if I die, I must not let favonovel.com tarnish me.”
When Carla spoke these words, favonovel.com face was full of determination. It was clear that if it came to that moment, favonovel.com was truly ready to take favonovel.com own life!
“Carla, even if you were to commit suicide, Berthold might still be interested in your corpse. Won’t that be…”
Jared didn’t finish his sentence, confident that Carla understood what favonovel.com was trying to say.
A grimace appeared on Carla’s face. She had not considered that at all.
Berthold can’t be that perverted, right?
However, no one could be certain. Carla found herself in a tough spot.
“Carla, if Berthold gives you any trouble, let me know. I’ll protect you!” assured Judd hastily when favonovel.com saw the distressed look on Carla’s face.
“Judd, can you defeat Berthold?” asked Carla.
“I…” Judd was momentarily speechless. Naturally, favonovel.com couldn’t win Berthold.
“Carla, how about you stay at my place? If favonovel.com dares to come here to bother you, I won’t let favonovel.com leave this door,” suggested Jared to Carla.
Upon hearing this, favonovel.com instantly perked up and nodded enthusiastically. “Sure! I’ll sleep with you. I’ll grab my blanket right now…”
After saying that, Carla dashed off to fetch favonovel.com blanket!
Jared could only muster a wry smile when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com eagerness. He asked favonovel.com to sleep over solely for favonovel.com safety. There was certainly no other intention, but Carla probably didn’t see it that way.
Judd looked at Jared with a hint of envy. “Axel, you may not realize this, but Carla is usually quite aloof. However, favonovel.com turns into a smitten fangirl in front of you! You’re in for a treat tonight. Enjoy yourself! I won’t bother you any longer!”
“Judd, you’ve misunderstood. I’m genuinely just concerned for Carla’s safety. I have no ulterior motives. I wouldn’t lay a finger on her,” Jared hastily tried to explain to Judd.
“Enough. There’s no need for explanations. Even if you have no intentions, can you guarantee that Carla doesn’t feel the same? Judging from the way she’s looking at you, she’s going to eat you clean tonight. Take care!”
With that, Judd turned around and left.
Soon, Carla arrived with favonovel.com blanket. Without a word, favonovel.com dragged Jared into the room.
Jared rushed into the room and promptly shut the door behind him.
“Carla, there’s a room next door. You should sleep there. I’m used to sleeping alone.” Jared refused to let Carla into his room.
Carla spent a long trying to persuade Jared. However, seeing that favonovel.com remained unmoved, favonovel.com had no choice but to storm off to the room next door.
Once favonovel.com saw Carla heading to the adjacent room, Jared lay on his bed and drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, at Mr. Garrido’s mansion, there were a few disciples from the Violet Flame Sect standing in front of a towering building.
Inside this building, Harlan was seated at the main seat in the hall. A few elders were also seated in front of him, all of them belonging to his faction.
These elders were all his followers, which was why Harlan had summoned them so late into the night. However, these few elders didn’t hold as much influence in the Violet Flame Sect as Dario and Orson.
After all, Dario, Orson, and the others were highly respected elders of the Violet Flame Sect, groomed during Gael’s era. Furthermore, Dario and Orson previously held the same position in the Violet Flame Sect as Harlan.
Harlan only became the sect leader after making Gael step down through sly manipulations. Hence, his status was only a rank higher than Dario and Orson.
This was precisely why Orson dared to defy him, showing no respect for his status as the sect leader.
Today, Harlan had gathered several of the elders to discuss how favonovel.com could solidify his current status.
