Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 461

Immediately after Darren left, the expression of the young master of the Red Inferno Sect changed.

He turned to Bradley and fumed, "You want to force my hand to get rid of your elder brother, Kaleb, don't you? It is too presumptuous of you to do so.

How dare you try to take advantage of me? Do you wish for death?"

The young master's angry outburst shocked Bradley.

He fell to the ground and trembled with fear, as he explained, "No! No! I suspect that something is wrong with Kaleb. That is why I ventured to speak about it. I have absolutely no intention of taking advantage of you. I did it only for your safety and for the sake of our sect. Please trust me." Tears of terror welled in Bradley's eyes.

"Leave now! Don't play your silly tricks before me, or I will send you to the Soul-refining Pool to be the sacrificed next time," the young master muttered.

"Thank you, young master." Bradley bowed his head and thanked the young master for his forgiveness. Then he crawled away from the young master.

"Humph, this guy is getting more and more arrogant," the young master said coldly after Bradley left.

"Since he is so bold, why don't you punish him or demote him?" Elder Judah, who was standing beside the young master, asked with a mischievous smile when he heard that.

"We have always known that there is a long-standing dispute between the two brothers. Giving them equal status is a way to ensure that there is a system of checks and balances between them. They will make every effort to catch each other's mistakes if it benefits their progress. In that case, I don't need to waste resources confirming whether they're loyal to me, as they will do it for me," the young master replied.

"Ha-ha! You are really shrewd," Elder Judah laughed as he admired the young master's intelligence.

Then he continued, "But isn't letting Kaleb join the guardians too big a reward?" Elder Judah took the opportunity to voice his concerns.

"It doesn't matter. The Spirit Power emitted when I make the breakthrough is of no use to me," the young master explained casually.

"But I agree with Bradley. Kaleb does seem a little strange," the elder said while frowning.

"Oh? What do you mean? He gave a clear explanation about what happened before. Did I miss a detail?" The young master was confused.

"Yes, his explanation was clear. However, the clearer his explanation was, the more problematic he became.

He seemed to have a good head on his shoulders today. He provoked Bradley all the time, which is different from his past behavior. It is true that Kaleb is prudent. However, he has never been so eloquent." The elder shared his impression of Kaleb's odd behavior.

"Hmm, now that you've said it, I agree. There was something unusual about Kaleb today. I do believe that his eloquence may have something to do with Bradley's aggressiveness. As Bradley argues all the time, Kaleb may have learned to defend himself. Kaleb is my right-hand man, so please don't worry about him. Besides, if something was unusual about him, how could he hide it from you?" The young master thought it over, and he finally believed that Elder Judah had overthought.

Knowing that pressing the matter was of no use, the elder didn't continue the discussion. Suddenly, his eyes twinkled as he got an idea. "Well, that makes sense. Then, if you'll excuse me, I'll withdraw and prepare for your breakthrough," the elder said. He wanted to leave to carry out his plan.

"Fine. Thank you for your help so far. Go ahead, Elder Judah," the young master replied.

Having received the young master's permission, the old man bowed before withdrawing from the hall.

"Mortimer, are you in the sect?" The moment Elder Judah left the hall, he used a secret method to send a message to Mortimer.

"What's the matter? I'm away from the sect right now," Mortimer replied.

"Well, we'll talk about it when you return. I need you to check someone for me."

"Ha-ha!" Mortimer laughed. "If you can't deal with this person yourself, he must be tough. Is he a mole in our sect?"

"It is still too early to tell. I just find him a little strange. I know your Piercing Eye can get more information on him. That is why I need to ask for your help," Judah added.

"Okay, I'll be back in three days. I'll come to you then." They finally made an appointment.

After leaving the hall, Darren returned to Kaleb's residence.
