“You're right. You're not bad at all,” Jared replied with a smile. “Just try to be a little gentler in yourdemeanor and maybe hold back from resorting to violence at the drop of a hat.”novelbin
“You...” Infuriated, Viola raised her hand, ready to strike Jared once more.
“See? You can't just go around hitting people like that. It's not very ladylike.” Jared quickly retreated,seeking refuge behind Ghaylen.
Seeing the playful banter between Jared and Viola, Ghaylen allowed an amused smile to form.
“Mr. Chance, why don't you step outside for a moment? I need to discuss something with Ms. Viola,” hesaid to Jared.
“Sure. I'll wait for you outside,” Jared replied and promptly left the cave.
The moment he was gone, Viola inquired, “Mr. Samoll, what was it you wanted to discuss?”
“Ms. Viola, what are your thoughts on Jared as a person?” Ghaylen asked.
Although puzzled by his question, Viola still answered truthfully, “To be honest, he doesn't strike me asthe most trustworthy person, but oddly enough, I do feel a sense of security when I'm around him.”
“Ms. Viola, let me tell you this, Jared is no ordinary man. Despite being only at Manifestor Realm, hewas able to single-handedly slay Bilius. Even the formidable ultimate demon beast within Octo Rulercouldn't win against him. Besides, he owns numerous precious treasures, including the legendaryDivine Cauldron coveted by the alchemy world. Although I haven't unraveled his true identity yet, hiscourage and strength are anything but ordinary. I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be anesteemed heir from a powerful family!” Ghaylen praised Jared with great admiration.
“Mr. Samoll, what exactly are you trying to tell me?” Viola asked, her curiosity piqued.
“Ms. Viola, given our current strength, it would be quite challenging to reclaim Emerald Cauldron Sectfrom Hosen's grasp, especially now that he's allied with Norwal City. Therefore, if we want to take backthe sect, we'll need allies, and Jared is the perfect candidate for that!” Ghaylen explained earnestly.
“Then ask him to help us. What's the problem? After all, he has been helping you frequently, hasn'the?” Viola pointed out, well aware of Jared's previous assistance to Ghaylen.
“Well, there's something you may not be aware of, Ms. Viola. The reason Jared has sought refuge inEmerald Cauldron Sect is to await the opening of the medicinal pool. Once it opens, he might leaveimmediately after soaking in it. Hence, if we want Jared to wholeheartedly assist us, we must... wemust...” Ghaylen trailed off, appearing rather embarrassed.
“What is it that we must do? Just tell me directly, Mr. Samoll,” Viola urged, growing more impatient.
Gritting his teeth, Ghaylen finally revealed his plan. “Ms. Viola, you must become Jared's partner. Onceyou two have slept together, he won't be able to refuse to help you.”
Viola's face flushed red when she heard this, and she quickly shook her head, saying, “That won't do;I'm not that kind of person...”
“Ms. Viola, don't you want to reclaim Emerald Cauldron Sect from Hosen's grasp? Are you willing to letall the hard work of the previous generations of sect leaders go to waste? Your father dedicated himselfto the prosperity of the sect, building its illustrious reputation. Yet now, that very reputation is beingtarnished by Hosen. Will you stand idly by while the former sect leader's legacy remains unavenged?”Ghaylen purposely brought up Viola's father, knowing that if they could get Jared on their side, EmeraldCauldron Sect would be within their grasp.
“I...” Viola hesitated, biting her lip tightly. After a moment of contemplation, she said, “Even if I wantedto, Jared might not be willing. After all, all his women are far more beautiful than me.”
“Ms. Viola, no matter how stunning Jared's companions are, they are not by his side now. As the sayinggoes, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. As a man, I understand their nature best. If you takethe initiative, Jared won't be able to resist and will surely fall for your charms,” Ghaylen reassured.
