“Father, Jared did this to me, so you have to avenge me!” Dorian exclaimed.
“Avenge you?” Corrado’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Have you no shame? You, a Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Nine cultivator, were beaten to the point of coughing blood by someone merely at the Ultimate Realm Level Two. And you still have the audacity to talk about revenge? Get out of my sight and go reflect on your actions at Reflection Cliff! Apart from the essential medical supplies you need for your recovery, don’t expect any other resources to be sent your way!”
Upon hearing this, Dorian was dumbfounded and quickly exclaimed, “Father, this is unfair, so unfair! Catalina, she-”
“Take him away!”
Corrado waved his hand dismissively.
Just as Fraser was about to pull Dorian away, Dorian suddenly stood up and roared, “Father, even if Jared beat me up and you chose not to seek revenge, that’s fine. But he insulted my mother! Shouldn’t you intervene?”
Corrado’s brow furrowed. “Did he insult your mother? What did he say?”
“Jared was utterly outrageous. He hit me, and while you might not seek revenge for me, he even said he would play with Mother. You can’t possibly ignore that, right?” Dorian said.
Boom!
Corrado’s aura abruptly exploded from him, which was swiftly followed by his palm forcefully slamming onto the stone table in front of him.
The stone table was instantly reduced to dust, vanishing without a trace!
“He had the audacity to utter such words? He even dared to…” Corrado found himself too furious to continue speaking. He gasped for air, then turned to Fraser. “Fraser, take some men and bring me Jared immediately!”
“Father, about Jared, he-”
“Shut up! I’m ordering you to bring him to me immediately!” Corrado’s eyes were blazing with anger.
Seeing the situation, Fraser didn’t dare to say anything else. He quickly turned around and left.
Upon witnessing the situation, Dorian couldn’t help but chuckle. He knew for certain that Jared was in for some bad luck!
After all, Corrado was famously devoted to his wife. The fact that Jared would dare to utter such disrespectful words about her was something Corrado would never let slide!
“Get out!”
Watching the smug expression on Dorian’s face, Corrado roared in anger.
Dorian shuddered, then with Ravenna’s support, he left the main hall.
“Emperor Lantz, calm your anger. There might be some misunderstanding here.”
At that moment, Infinides emerged from behind the main hall.
“Abbot Infinides, just what sort of man did you pick for Lina? He has absolutely no decorum at all! H-He even wants to play with his mother-in-law! What has the world come to!”
Corrado was so upset that he was embarrassed to even voice it out.
“Emperor Lantz, I believe that even if Jared said those words, he must have spoken them without being aware of the full situation. I urge you to think twice. Lina is constantly thinking about Jared, day and night. Please don’t let her heart be broken.”
Infinides was advising Corrado, pleading with him not to act impulsively and end up killing Jared.
Even though Jared was quite impressive now that even a Top Level Ultimate Realm Level Nine cultivator was no match for him, when faced with Corrado, Jared was still as insignificant as an ant. Corrado could crush him with just one hand!
Moreover, how could Jared, a mere Ultimate Realm Level Two cultivator, possibly contend with the immense power that was Twilight Imperial City?
“Abbot Infinides, whether it’s a misunderstanding or not, once we bring that young man here, I’ll make sure he experiences some hardship before we talk further. Messing around with someone else’s mother at such a young age is just intolerable. For Lina’s sake, I must teach Jared a lesson!”
Corrado was genuinely furious. Even if he didn’t kill Jared, he was determined to teach him a lesson!
Upon seeing the situation, Infinides no longer tried to persuade Corrado. As long as he didn’t kill Jared, it was fine. As for teaching Jared a lesson and making him suffer a bit, that was perfectly normal.
Right now, Infinides was simply hoping that Jared would avoid any conflict with Fraser.
If those two started fighting, things would surely get lively. But if they accidentally hurt each other, the misunderstandings would only deepen!
Infinides prayed in his mind, That brat better behave and follow along. I hope, for his sake, that he’ll keep his snarky comments to himself!
