The Man’s Decree

“Men like you are few and far between in the Ethereal Realm!”

At that moment, Carla entered.

Shocked to see Carla, Judd asked, “Carla, why are you here instead of your mansion so late at night?”

“I’m here to check on our Axel’s recovery. I also brought him some fruits!”

As she spoke, Carla pulled out some red spiritual fruits from her pocket.

Finding fruits was a nearly impossible task in a barren place like the Violet Flame Sect, let alone finding a spiritual fruit!

“Carla, did you steal Mr. Moreau’s spiritual fruits?” exclaimed Judd in shock as he looked at those spiritual fruits.

“How can it be considered stealing? My master has been imprisoned for thirty years now. I’m in charge of the entire mansion, so it’s up to me to distribute these items. I was worried about Axel’s recovery, so I brought these over for him!”

“Axel, eat quickly! Only elders have access to things like these,” urged Carla as she handed a few spiritual fruits to Jared.

Jared didn’t stand on ceremony. “Thank you, Carla!”

“Why are you being so formal with me? Just tell me whatever you want. I’ll make sure you get it!” said Carla with a smile.

Judd was overcome with jealousy.

Even Jared was left speechless for a moment. He could tell that Carla was trying to seduce him.

However, he didn’t really have any feelings for her. Although Carla was undoubtedly attractive, she fell short when compared to the women around Jared.

Compared to the girl he had just seen in the spiritual energy pool, the difference was even more pronounced.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Judd, did you know? Berthold returned today,” said Carla.

“What? How did he manage to return? Wasn’t he expelled from the sect?” asked Judd, feeling puzzled.

“Who knows? Now that his father has become the sect leader, he must have been summoned back. Moreover, Thiago was nearly crippled by Axel. Naturally, Mr. Garrido would need a capable assistant,” replied Carla.

“Judd, who exactly is Berthold?” asked Jared curiously.

“Berthold is Mr. Garrido’s son. After he was exiled from the sect, no one knew where he went. Who would’ve expected him to return now?” explained Judd.

“Why was he expelled from the sect?” Jared didn’t understand. After all, Harlan was an elder. It was impossible for an elder’s son to be chased out of the sect.

“You might not know this, Axel, but Berthold is quite the pervert. Back in the day, many female disciples had been sexually assaulted by him. As such, there were fewer female disciples in the Violet Flame Sect. As his father was an elder, no one interfered with his actions. However, this guy had the audacity to lay his hands on Juliet. He nearly had his way with her. Thankfully, someone discovered him in time.”

Judd continued, “When Gael found out that his daughter was almost violated, he was so furious that he was ready to kill Berthold on the spot. However, after several elders pleaded on Berthold’s behalf, he merely expelled Berthold from the sect! Now that Gael had stepped down and Harlan took over, he unexpectedly summoned his son back. This time, the female disciples in the sect are in for trouble again.”

Judd sighed lightly.

After Judd finished speaking, Jared couldn’t help but glance at Carla. After all, she was also a female disciple.

Upon noticing Jared’s gaze, Carla quickly clarified, “I assure you, Berthold has never laid a hand on me. I’m still a virgin!”

“Carla wasn’t touched. Mr. Moreau was keeping a close eye on her, so Berthold simply had no chance to make a move,” added Judd hastily.

“Carla, now that Berthold has returned, you need to be careful. With Mr. Moreau now locked away, there’s no one to stand up for you. If Berthold does something crazy, do you think you can defeat him?” Jared cautioned Carla.
