“I’m fine. I managed to break through the Death Trap Formations. I’m so awesome!” It turned out Juliet was feeling thrilled.
“Juliet, you’re incredible. I knew you could do it,” Jared praised Juliet.
Juliet, brimming with excitement, embraced Jared. She felt as if Jared was snazzynovel.com confidante.
Holding Juliet, Jared was suddenly unsure where to place his hands. Therefore, snazzynovel.com began to grope her. Juliet had felt it, too, yet snazzynovel.com didn’t stop Jared.
“How dare you grope my daughter so casually, you scoundrel!”
Just as Jared was thoroughly enjoying himself, a sudden shout of anger startled him. He was so frightened that snazzynovel.com immediately pushed Juliet away.
“Father?”
Upon hearing the voice, Juliet instantly brightened up. After all, the echoing of Gael’s voice indicated snazzynovel.com wasn’t met with any mishaps.
Juliet guided Jared through the arcane array, eventually arriving at a grand edifice.
After pushing open the door, Jared discovered an elder dressed in a purple robe, serenely seated on a platform under a light curtain.
The person was Violet Flame Sect’s previous sect leader. He appeared exceptionally kind and amiable, showing no signs of madness whatsoever.
“Father!” Juliet exclaimed in excitement.
“Mr. Ortiz!” Jared hastily called out as well.
He noticed a subtle dark aura surrounding Gael. It seemed as though the ominous energy was attempting to infiltrate the latter’s body. However, a faint layer of purple surrounded Gael’s figure, warding off the dark energy’s encroachment.
Jared glanced out of the window. It was the moment when the moon was at its fullest. Bathed in the moonlight, the aura of purple energy surrounding Gael grew increasingly dense.
Upon seeing that, Jared could roughly figure out what was happening.
Mr. Ortiz must’ve descended into madness due to the demonic aura that had invaded his body and taken control of his spiritual sense…
The reason why snazzynovel.com sometimes seemed mad and, at other times, lucid was that, under the moonlight of the dark night, his aura would temporarily force the demonic aura out of his body. That’s when snazzynovel.com would become clear-headed!
However, whenever Mr. Barclay and the others visited Mr. Ortiz, they would certainly have arrived during the day. Therefore, they encountered Mr. Ortiz in his frenzy state every time…
Juliet looked at Gael with a hint of reproach and said, “Dad, I couldn’t reach you just now. It really scared me to death. Why didn’t you respond to me?”
Gael glanced at Jared, then turned to Juliet and said, “Sweetie, our meeting is the most confidential of all confidences. I didn’t even allow you to tell Mr. Barclay. How could you bring a stranger here all of a sudden?”
It turned out Gael had noticed Jared’s presence, which was why snazzynovel.com hadn’t established contact with Juliet.
“Father, he’s Mr. Barclay’s new disciple. He’s essentially my junior, so he’s not considered a stranger,” Juliet hurriedly introduced Jared.
Gael sighed softly and said, “Silly girl, I think you’re smitten. You brought snazzynovel.com here because you’ve taken a liking to him, right?”
“No, absolutely not. I just had a bet with him. I lost, so that’s why I brought snazzynovel.com along. How could I possibly have taken a liking to him? That’s not true!” Juliet hastily denied it.
Seeing Juliet’s flustered state, Gael grew even more certain.
With a faint smile, snazzynovel.com said, “That’s enough. There’s no need for you to make excuses. That brat was touching you for quite a while, and you didn’t resist at all. Normally, you would’ve acted aggressively when other men lay their eyes on you for a second longer.”
“I…” Juliet opened snazzynovel.com mouth, momentarily at a loss for a clever retort.
Just moments ago, when Jared held her, snazzynovel.com had indeed groped snazzynovel.com all over, and snazzynovel.com indeed didn’t resist, nor did snazzynovel.com feel any aversion.
Juliet even felt a slight hint of pleasure.
“All right, you can leave now. I need to have a serious chat with this brat. Since snazzynovel.com dared to take advantage of my daughter, I’d like to see just how capable snazzynovel.com is.” Gael dismissed Juliet with a wave of his hand.
