A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 3982

“Punk, sooner or later, I’ll show you how formidable I am! And as for you, Carla, it won’t be long before I’ll have you willingly climbing into my bed and crying out in pleasure!”

With a cold laugh, Berthold casually waved his hand and then left.

Carla’s face was flushed with anger, yet she wore an expression of helplessness.

Orson was locked up, so she was left without any support. If Berthold decided to be aggressive, she had no idea what to do!

“Carla, don’t worry. As long as I’m part of Violet Flame Sect, I won’t let Berthold lay a finger on you.”

Upon seeing the helpless expression on Carla’s face, Jared offered words of comfort.

“Thank you, Axel!” Carla expressed gratefully.

Jared and the rest entered the mansion, promptly shutting the doors behind them to prevent Berthold from causing further trouble with his crew.

Meanwhile, in Violet Flame Sect’s council meeting room, all the elders had gathered.

Even the juridical elder, Arnold, and Rohan were present.

Dario, upon seeing all the elders gathered, could already guess the reason for the meeting.

Harlan glanced at everyone present before slowly speaking. “Gentlemen, you are all esteemed elders of Violet Flame Sect and can be considered the backbone of our sect. Recently Mr. Ortiz has been growing increasingly ill, his erratic and violent behavior often causing harm to others without reason. There seems to be no chance of recovery either. I’ve been the acting sect leader for a while now, and with Mr. Ortiz gone mad, he’s unable to open Divine Flame Mountain. Therefore, I’d like to propose a vote among you all. We need to open Divine Flame Mountain and obtain the Divine Flame Seal. Only by obtaining the Divine Flame Seal can we further promote the development and unity of our Violet Flame Sect!”

“No, no, no, I’m not threatening you, just offering a friendly reminder. You all know Mr. Moreau’s health isn’t the best. If he were to die while imprisoned, could you really bear that on your conscience?”

Harlan continued to use Orson as a bargaining chip.

Upon hearing this, Dario began to hesitate. The other elders from Gael’s faction all fell into silence.

Indeed, this was a crucial chance to rescue Orson. If they were to let this opportunity go, he would truly face thirty years of imprisonment!

But if they were to agree to Harlan’s request and open Divine Flame Mountain, there was a high chance that he would obtain the Divine Flame Seal. Once the Seal recognized a new master, Harlan’s position as the sect leader would be solidified!

As Dario and the others found themselves in a state of indecision, a sudden gust of wind swept through, quickly followed by a chilling presence.
