The Man's Decree

Behind Harlan stood Berthold, who had long been expelled from the sect. At this moment, Berthold was dressed in a black brocade robe, wearing a crown. His eyes were deep and his face bore an expression of arrogance.

Even though he had been expelled from the sect, even in the presence of these elders, Berthold remained expressionless.

“Mr. Garrido, now that you hold the reins of power and have welcomed back Mr. Berthold, anyone who disobeys should be directly imprisoned. As for Mr. Moreau, lock him up for thirty years,” suggested a slender elder, flattering Harlan.

“Exactly, now the entire Violet Flame Sect follows your orders. Even if Mr. Barclay and the rest are unhappy, they wouldn’t dare to do anything. Are they bold enough to rebel?” echoed another elder.

After hearing this, Harlan didn’t utter a word. Instead, his gaze shifted toward the last elder. The man was portly, and his eyes were slightly closed.

“Mr. Thibaud, do you have any opinions?” Harlan inquired.

Winston slowly opened his eyes and said, “As long as the Divine Flame Seal is not in our hands, your position remains unstable. Although Mr. Ortiz retired due to illness, he still has a daughter. If the Divine Flame Seal falls into Juliet’s hands, I fear there won’t be many in the Violet Flame Sect who will obey you, Mr. Garrido. Moreover, after Mr. Berthold was expelled from the clan, you’ve now brought him back. Naturally, this will lead to some resentment among many. This pent-up resentment is bound to erupt at some point.”

Winston’s words silenced everyone.
