A Man Like None Other

In less than thirty minutes, the elders and disciples from Gael’s faction had all gathered. Juliet, who hadn’t been seen for a long time, also came to Dario’s mansion.

At the sight of her, a wave of excitement swept over many of the disciples.

“Ms. Ortiz, Harlan has brought in an array master from Duad Formation Sect, intending to activate Divine Flame Mountain by force to obtain Divine Flame Seal. We absolutely cannot let him succeed. If he gets his hands on Divine Flame Seal, he will surely make a move against you and Mr. Ortiz,” Dario said to Juliet.

At that moment, Juliet’s words held more sway than those of his.

All the people gathered there were from Gael’s faction, so they were more inclined to heed her words.

“When did he start doing so?” Juliet asked.

“It happened today, Juliet. I saw it with my own eyes,” Judd quickly said.

“Today?” Juliet’s brow furrowed slightly. After glancing at the people around her, she turned to Dario and asked, “Mr. Barclay, where is Axel?”

“Ms. Ortiz, he wandered around without permission and accidentally activated an arcane array. As a punishment, Harlan sent him to Reflection Cliff to reflect on his misdeed for three days,” Dario answered.

Juliet knew that Jared took the hit for her.

“How long do you reckon it would take the expert from Duad Formation Sect to crack and activate the formation plate?” Juliet asked further.

“Uh…” Dario hesitated, for he didn’t know either.

After all, he wasn’t an array master, so he couldn’t possibly know that.

Everyone else remained silent, unsure of the answer to Juliet’s question.

“Juliet, I reckon Mr. Cunningham might know. We could ask him,” Judd suggested at that moment.

“Okay. Go and call Mr. Cunningham over, then,” Juliet said.

Judd gave a nod and went to ask Rohan over immediately. The latter was ultimately part of the neutral faction, so he wasn’t called over earlier.

Before long, Rohan arrived with Judd.

Upon seeing that all members of Gael’s faction were present, with even Juliet there, he appeared somewhat taken aback.

“Is there something you need from me, Ms. Ortiz?” Rohan asked Juliet.

“Mr. Cunningham, if someone from Duad Formation Sect wants to crack the formation plate forcibly and activate Divine Flame Mountain, how long would it take?” Juliet asked.

“What? Is someone trying to activate Divine Flame Mountain forcibly?” Rohan questioned, his brows furrowed.

“Yes. Harlan has gotten an array master from Duad Formation Sect over, intending to activate Divine Flame Mountain forcibly,” Juliet affirmed with a nod.

“He has got some nerve,” Rohan hissed, his face flushed with anger.

But he then continued, “If an elder from Duad Formation Sect were here to crack the formation plate and activate Divine Flame Mountain, it would probably take around four to five days. However, I can put some obstacles in his way. That would take him more time. If it were only an ordinary disciple from Duad Formation Sect, he would never be able to crack the formation plate.”

“Four to five days…” Juliet began pondering upon the matter.

“Ms. Ortiz, there’s no time to lose. We need to rush over and stop Harlan. Once Divine Flame Mountain is activated, there will be no stopping him,” Dario said to her anxiously.

After a moment’s contemplation, Juliet replied, “There’s no rush. Let’s wait until Axel has finished his reflection. Didn’t Mr. Cunningham say that even for an elder from Duad Formation Sect, it would take four to five days to activate Divine Flame Mountain? Besides, Mr. Cunningham will put some obstacles in the way. Who knows, they may not even be able to activate Divine Flame Mountain at all.”

The reason she wanted to wait for Jared and refused to let Dario and the others engage in a conflict with Harlan was to wait for Gael to come out.

She knew that her father’s demonic soul had been eliminated. As long as his spiritual sense had recovered, he could come out to take charge of Violet Flame Sect once again.

All it matter was that Harlan couldn’t get his hands on Divine Flame Seal during that period.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Perhaps in four or five days, Gael would have recovered and come out. Even if Divine Flame Mountain were activated, it would no longer be of use.
