“I have a report!” At that moment, the guard rushed in. “Mr. Delacroix, Tyler from the prominent Forlisle Summers family, was waiting at the entrance, seeking an audience with the sect leader…”
“What is Tyler doing here?”
“We didn’t have any dealings with the Summers family, did we?”
“The Summers family really isn’t up to par. Their charm, used by the Five Elites, cost so much money, yet they still ended up being killed.”
Several sect leaders were engaged in heated discussions.
Lauden, on the other hand, waved his hand and said, “Let him in.”
Upon receiving the command, the guard immediately turned and left. Quickly, Tyler led Jared and the others into the grand hall.
Just as he stepped into the hall, Jared could feel several piercing gazes directed at him, each one filled with a palpable intent to kill.
Jared was somewhat taken aback. He couldn’t understand why these people were looking at him in such a way.
Upon seeing Jared behind Tyler, Lauden was slightly taken aback. However, he didn’t say anything and instead gestured for Tyler and his companions to sit down.
At that moment, an intense, deadly aura filled the entire hall. Almost everyone’s eyes were firmly fixed on Jared.
That left Jared utterly baffled, and he wasn’t the only one.
Several minutes later, Lauden finally spoke. “Mr. Summers, may I ask what brings you here?”
Tyler glanced at Jared, then with a faint smile, he asked, “Mr. Delacroix, I wonder if you’re aware of the massacre that took place in Blood Spirit Valley.”
“I am,” Lauden openly nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Igor furrowed his brows. Originally, he didn’t believe that the Five Great Sects would commit the act of slaughtering the Blood Spirit Valley.
After all, they were innocent. Why would the Five Great Sects act in such a way?
However, the fact that Lauden claimed to know directly started to make Igor suspect that it was the work of the Five Great Sects.
Tyler had never expected such a straightforward response from Lauden.
“Mr. Delacroix, since you’re aware, I’ll speak frankly. We found this place by following the telepathic beast, which means the aura of the Five Great Sects was left at Blood Spirit Valley. How will you explain this, I wonder, Mr. Delacroix? Or perhaps, do you know who massacred the Blood Spirit Valley?” Tyler asked cautiously.
After all, the strength of the Five Great Sects was evident, and even the mighty Tyler didn’t dare to provoke them.
Suddenly, Heinrik slammed his hand on the table, bellowing loudly. “Tyler, what are you implying? Are you suggesting that we, the Five Great Sects, massacred the Blood Spirit Valley?”
In a state of urgency, Tyler quickly apologized, “Mr. Darkmore, there’s been a misunderstanding. That’s not what I meant…”
“Mr. Summers, we indeed visited the Blood Spirit Valley, but by the time we arrived, the people of the Blood Spirit Valley had already been massacred,” Lauden spoke truthfully.
Suddenly, Igor rose to his feet, directing a question at Lauden. “Why did you go to the Blood Spirit Valley?”
After all, the Five Great Sects had no interaction with the Blood Spirit Valley, and it wasn’t on their way back either. Thus, why would they go to the Blood Spirit Valley?
“We were searching for him,” Lauden pointed at Jared.
“Looking for me?” Jared was suddenly taken aback.
He couldn’t understand why the people from the Five Great Sects were seeking him out in the Blood Spirit Valley.
He didn’t even know the people from the Five Great Sects.
“Why did you come looking for me in the Blood Spirit Valley?” Jared asked in confusion.
Upon seeing Jared’s demeanor, Lauden let out a cold snort. “Do you not understand why I am looking for you?”
Jared had a bewildered expression on his face, clearly clueless about the reason.
Noticing Jared’s bewildered expression, Heinrik slammed the table forcefully and exclaimed, “Why are you pretending? Do you not realize what you have done? Stop putting on a show here.”
“Capture him!” Heinrik commanded. “Once I have dealt with you appropriately, you will understand the consequences of your actions.” As soon as Heinrik spoke, more than a dozen disciples from the sect rushed forward, prepared to apprehend Jared.
“Who dares…” Catina and Montane Daemon simultaneously emitted their aura, causing the entire hall to be filled with a hostile tension.
