A Man Like None Other

“Mr. Ortiz, I’ve laid bare the truth before you now. You aren’t planning to harm me, are you?”

As Jared glanced at Gael, who was heartily laughing, a hint of nervousness crept into his voice.

“No! There’s no way I’d even think about plotting against my dear son-in-law,” Gael replied with a laugh.

“Son-in-law?” Taken aback, Jared quickly waved his hands and said, “Mr. Ortiz, please don’t misunderstand. There’s really nothing between me and Juliet.”

“Enough, no need for further explanations. I can tell that my daughter doesn’t find you repulsive. Besides, you’ve already seen her naked. Don’t you think you should take responsibility?” Gael said.

Jared was shocked to hear that. He couldn’t understand how Gael knew about him seeing Juliet naked.

Moreover, Gael was confined here, and was mad some of the time. How could he possibly

know what was happening outside?

“Mr. Ortiz, this is slander. I assure you, I’ve never laid eyes on Juliet’s body.”

Jared could only grit his teeth and deny it. After all, this was not something to be proud of.

“Denial won’t change anything. Don’t assume that because I’m confined here, I’m ignorant of what’s happening at the Violet Flame Sect. There may be times when my spiritual sense is manipulated and causes me to become mad, but I am not a fool,” Gael said.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Upon hearing that, Jared quickly changed the subject. “Mr. Ortiz, what exactly is going on with your erratic behavior? If you allow it, I might be able to help treat you. However, I have one condition. If I successfully treat you, I hope you will teach me the fire fusion technique!”

Jared intended to use that condition as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Gael.

After all, if Gael didn’t want to teach him the fire fusion technique because there wasn’t any personal gain, Jared couldn’t possibly force him to!

“You can’t cure me. I’m possessed by a demonic soul. I have no idea how Harlan managed to get involved with Demon Cultivators and inflict me with this demonic soul. Thankfully, my spiritual sense is strong enough. This demonic soul can only disrupt my spiritual sense during the day. By nightfall, under the moonlight, the internal flame energy within me will control the demonic soul, granting me brief moments of clarity. This demonic soul is so powerful that even I can’t fully subdue it. You’re merely a Fourth Level Tribulator. How can you possibly control a demonic soul, let alone eradicate it?” Gael said with a sense of resignation.

After hearing that, Jared gave him a confident smile and said, “I can easily capture a mere demonic soul. I can beat it until it cries for mercy…”

Jared had already devised a plan in his mind. In fact, the moment he stepped through the door, he had roughly guessed what was happening when he noticed the ominous dark aura surrounding Gael and the resistance of the purple energy.

It was highly likely that Harlan aimed to manipulate Gael using the demonic soul to gain complete control over the Violet Flame Sect!

However, Gael’s powerful spiritual sense caused the demonic soul to become entangled within his spiritual sense field, which drove him to madness. However, when Gael’s spiritual sense gained the upper hand, he would regain his clarity!

Upon realizing he couldn’t control Gael, Harlan finally decided to confine him.

“You’re not that old, but you sure know how to talk big. The demonic soul within me isn’t some minor Demonic Cultivator, but a great demon lord. If it were just a Demonic Cultivator’s soul, I would have already sent him to his fiery demise.”

Gael didn’t take Jared’s words seriously because he assumed that Jared was merely boasting.

Jared then said, “Mr. Ortiz, just tell me if you agree or not. If I eliminate the demonic soul and return you your freedom, can you teach me the fire fusion technique?”

Jared was confident in his plan. Even if the demonic soul in Gael’s consciousness field is impressive, could it be more impressive than Vermilion Demon Lord in his consciousness field?

As soon as Jared lured the demonic soul into his consciousness field, Vermilion Demon Lord could annihilate it within minutes!

The infamous Vermilion Demon Lord was a level nine great demon lord of the celestial realm. Even the so-called demon lords of the Ethereal Realm were insignificant in his presence!
