Chapter 4085
A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance)
"You are too modest. This is all because of your extraordinary talent. Now that you are the leader of the Violet Flame Sect, its future development depends on you!" Gael said, laughing.
"No, no, no, my position as leader is only temporary. I will leave after I finish dealing with things. At that time, I will pass the leadership to Juliet," Jared said hurriedly.
He thought Gael wanted him to be the leader to eventually pass the position to Juliet. If Gael passed the position directly to Juliet, some elders might not accept it. The Violet Flame Sect leadership wasn't hereditary, so Gael passing it to his daughter seemed inappropriate. By having Jared pass it to Juliet, it could silence any opposition. Jared misunderstood Gael's intention. Gael genuinely wanted Jared to be the leader.
"Juliet is a woman. She will get married sooner or later and isn't suitable to be the sect leader. Unless you marry Juliet, she can share the responsibility with you," Gael said.
"That's not possible," Jared waved his hand. He couldn't marry Juliet.
Jared had promised himself that his first wedding would be with Josephine. Despite Josephine's unknown whereabouts, Jared firmly believed she was waiting for him. Though Jared had many women and had physical intimacy with several, he wouldn't give his first wedding to anyone else.
"Why, do you think I'm not worthy of you?" Juliet asked, a little aggrieved.
"No, Juliet, you have a great figure, good skin, and you're stunningly beautiful. Any man would like you. It's just that I already have a girlfriend, and many confidantes. I've already had physical intimacy, so... I'm not worthy of you," Jared explained hurriedly. When Juliet heard this, she laughed. She thought Jared looked down on her!
Gael laughed too. "What does it matter? Since you can't marry, let Juliet be your confidante. In this world, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Cultivating together if you have feelings for each other helps to improve strength." "Yes, you don't have to marry me or give me any status. The world doesn't care about these things. As long as you have me in your heart, it's fine," Juliet said, approaching Jared and taking his hand.
Judd and others drooled. The woman they could only dream of was now approaching Jared and even offering herself. This was the gap between people!
Seeing this, Jared didn't say anything more. Juliet had taken the initiative to such an extent that refusing her would seem shameless. Besides, Juliet was truly tempting. When he thought of that night, when he accidentally saw Juliet's body, he still felt a rush. When everyone returned to the Violet Flame Sect, Jared immediately went to find the imprisoned Carlo.
Carlo was in the dungeon of the Violet Flame Sect, with magic arrays set up by Rohan around him. He looked disheveled, having lost his earlier high spirits.
Hearing the voice, Carlo slowly said, "You are finally here..."
"Have you been waiting for me?" Jared was a little surprised.
"Of course, do you think the magic arrays around can trap me?" Carlo raised his head and smiled.
Jared glanced and laughed. These arrays couldn't really trap Carlo. Carlo's array technique was superb. But Jared didn't understand why Carlo didn't escape but waited for him.
"What are you waiting for me for? Do you want to beg me?" Jared asked.
