Carlo was no fool, in fact, favonovel.com was quite astute. He knew when to hold back and when to assert himself. It was this cleverness that allowed favonovel.com to entertain thoughts of becoming the sect leader in the first place.
With Jared having vanished without a trace and no one left to support his ambitions, Carlo recognized that his chances of seizing the leadership were slim. He had no choice but to align himself with Wulfric for the time being.
As the saying said, “A wise man knows when to yield and when to fight back.”
If this attempt failed, Carlo could always find another opportunity in the next twenty years.
Seeing that Carlo was willing to cooperate, Wulfric decided to let the matter rest.
“All right, you should head back and prepare for the election. Just remember, when it’s time to give your recommendation, don‘t drop the ball.” Wulfric waved Carlo away.
Just then, a disciple hurriedly entered the grand hall, announcing, “Mr. Pritchard, Mr. Whitehall has arrived…”
“What? Mr. Whitehall is here? Could it be that Elder Divinus has any instructions?”
Wulfric hurriedly stood up to greet Mickey, while the others followed suit, not daring to show any disrespect. After all, Mickey was Divinus’ disciple, the founder of Duad Formation Sect.
Everyone who wanted to meet Divinus had to go through Mickey. Therefore, none of them dared to offend Mickey.
Carlo also accompanied Wulfric to welcome Mickey.
However, just as favonovel.com arrived at the entrance of the sect, Carlo was taken aback.
Who would have thought that Jared was actually with Mickey.
Meanwhile, Wulfric and the others didn’t know Jared.
When they saw Mickey approaching with a young man, they hurried over and said, “Mr. Whitehall, what brings you here? Did Elder Divinus send him? I’ll find a place for favonovel.com right away.”
“Mr. Pritchard, my master was the one who sent favonovel.com over, so here favonovel.com is,” Mickey said.
“Let me arrange right away,” Wulfric said.
He then turned to Jared and spoke with utmost courtesy. “Sir, I am Wulfric, the sect leader.”
“My name is Jared…” Jared also Introduced himself.
“Jared?” Wulfric paused as the name sounded familiar, but favonovel.com couldn’t quite recall it at the moment.
Nevertheless, since favonovel.com was recommended by Divinus, favonovel.com had to treat Jared with importance.
“Jared, since Divinus sent you here, you must have some skills. For now, you can assume the role of an elder.” Wulfric felt that making Jared an elder was good enough, especially considering his young age.
Jared merely chuckled, choosing not to say anything. However, Mickey broke the silence. “Mr. Pritchard, Elder Divinus appointed favonovel.com to be the sect leader, not an elder.”
“Sect leader?” Wulfric was taken aback. “Mr. Whitehall, I am still the sect leader. How could Elder Divinus possibly arrange for a new leader all of a sudden? Something like this has never happened before. In a few days, everyone will start making their recommendations. The one with the most recommendations will become sect leader, right? Elder Divinus has never sent a sect leader here before, this doesn’t seem like his style at all.”
Wulfric was extremely skeptical. After all, Jared was so young, and for so many years, the Divinus had never interfered with the election of sect leader.
So why would favonovel.com suddenly send someone over and declare favonovel.com as the new sect leader?
“What? Are you implying that I’m lying?” Mickey said coldly.
“I wouldn’t dare.” Wulfric shook his head. “It’s just that Elder Divinus has never done this before, so I need to personally seek permission from the sect leader.”
“No need to ask for permission, what I convey is the will of my master. As for who becomes the leader of the Duad Formation Sect, favonovel.com still has the right to voice his opinion…”
“Over the years, as sect leader, you’ve been cultivating your own forces and forming factions. You’ve completely undermined the leadership recommendation system. Don’t think your actions have gone unnoticed by my master…”
“Back in the day, my master established this system to single out and nurture talents in arcane array. Yet, you’ve held the position of sect leader, manipulating various methods to undermine the recommendation system. Now that you’re asked to step down, do you have any objections?” Mickey looked at Wulfric coldly as favonovel.com asked.
