“Come on, is this the time to be frugal? You should personally make a trip to Duad Formation Sect. No matter the cost, you need to get their help. Let them know a handsome reward awaits as long as they help us open Divine Flame Mountain.”
At this moment, Harlan seemed somewhat excited.
“All right, I’m on my way!” Winston nodded.
After Winston had left, a slight smirk played on Harlan’s lips. “Once I open Divine Flame Mountain, let’s see who in the entire Violet Flame Sect dares to defy me!”

At Dario’s mansion, Carla was feeling down, shedding tears continuously. Beside her, Judd and Jared were comforting her.
“Carla, even though Mr. Moreau has passed away, his spirit lives on. From now on, you should stay here. I will have Master protect you,” Judd said.
“Carla, don’t be too upset. This was Mr. Moreau’s own decision. He did it for the sake of the entire Violet Flame Sect!” Jared was also offering comfort.
After Dario returned, favonovel.com told them what Orson had done, which left Jared somewhat taken aback.
“I just need some time to myself…” Carla murmured In a desolate tone.
Hearing that, Judd and Jared could only stand up and take their leave, allowing Carla some much-needed solitude.
“Poor Carla. Now that Mr. Moreau is dead, Berthold will become even more unrestrained. I fear it won’t be long before favonovel.com falls victim to his malicious intentions and is sexually assaulted by him…”
“In the past, we had quite a number of female cultivators here in our Violet Flame Sect. After all, many females are fond of studying fire cultivation techniques. However, after Berthold sexually assaulted them, many of them became disheartened and left. This also led to Violet Flame Sect’s reputation spreading far and wide, to the point where no female cultivators dared to approach us, and we now find it challenging to even find a partner for dual cultivation!” Judd explained with a sigh.
Jared didn’t utter a single word, unsure of how to console Judd. After all, favonovel.com was never short of women in his life, so favonovel.com couldn’t comprehend Judd’s suffering.
Jared returned to his room, quietly awaiting the arrival of night. As the sky grew darker, favonovel.com began to grow excited. If favonovel.com could meet Gael tonight and learn the fire fusion technique, favonovel.com could finally leave Violet Flame Sect.
However, every time Jared thought of Carla and Juliet, favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel a pang of pity. If favonovel.com were to master the fire fusion technique and leave, then Carla would undoubtedly fall victim to Berthold. Moreover, there was a chance that Berthold would go after Juliet too.
The mere thought of Juliet, a woman of breathtaking beauty, being pinned beneath Berthold, that utter fool, ignited a fire of rage within Jared.
“Let’s see how things go first. Even if I learned the fire fusion technique, I haven’t seen Divine Flame Mountain or the Divine Flame Seal yet. I should see these things before leaving Violet Flame Sect!”
The excuses Jared made for himself were actually due to his fear of Juliet and Carla being mistreated by Berthold.
As Jared was lost in his thoughts, his room door was suddenly pushed open.
Jared was surprised. He couldn‘t comprehend who would come to his room at such a late hour.
Jared rose to his feet, only to see Carla step in, dressed in only a breezy nightgown!
“Carla?” Jared wore a face full of confusion. “It’s so late. Is there something you need?”
“Axel, I can’t sleep. Can you keep me company and talk for a bit?” Carla said sorrowfully.
Jared glanced at the sky outside, then nodded. “All right, Carla… Take a seat…”
Carla settled herself on Jared’s bed, while Jared took a seat nearby.
“Carla, you must come to terms with your grief. Once a person is gone, they cannot be brought back to life,” Jared tried to comfort Carla.
If it hadn’t been for Orson taking his life today, Jared would never have allowed Carla into his room. Moreover, favonovel.com had something to attend to later, favonovel.com needed to meet Juliet.
However, Carla was clearly grieving now. Out of consideration, Jared found it hard to refuse her.
