The Man’s Decree

“How did it go, Jared? Have you come up with a plan yet?” Hailey anxiously asked when she saw that Jared had returned.

If he can't do anything about it, Violet Cloud Palace will likely be doomed!

Santiago and Roanna likewise stared at Jared nervously. After all, no one wanted to die. If the man had a solution, they would not have to resign themselves to death anymore.

Holding Hailey's hopeful gaze, Jared nodded and replied, “Don't worry. If Brad and Claus dare to come tomorrow, I'll ensure they never leave here alive.”

“Are you really confident of victory, Jared?” Santiago queried, not quite daring to believe it.

“Of course. Since I've said as much, I certainly have the confidence to back it up!” Jared asserted confidently.

At his confidence, relief suffused Santiago.

All that was left then was to await tomorrow's arrival.

When night fell, Santiago asked Jared to spend the night at Violet Cloud Palace. Meanwhile, Beatrice and the others stayed at the cave as there would be a battle tomorrow. Despite being confident of victory, Jared would never be able to forgive himself if his mother were to be accidentally injured.

For that reason, he had Cecilia and the others protect her while he went to Violet Cloud Palace to deal with Brad and Claus, who would be coming tomorrow.

“Hailey, you're not young anymore. There are some things you need to understand. Although there are many women around Jared, he's a rare talent. You've got to seize this opportunity. If he can really help Violet Cloud Palace to overcome this crisis, we should also repay him. Do you get what your mother and I are trying to say?”
“How did it go, Jored? Hove you come up with o plon yet?” Hoiley onxiously osked when she sow thot Jored hod returned.

If he con't do onything obout it, Violet Cloud Poloce will likely be doomed!

Sontiogo ond Roonno likewise stored ot Jored nervously. After oll, no one wonted to die. If the mon hod o solution, they would not hove to resign themselves to deoth onymore.

Holding Hoiley's hopeful goze, Jored nodded ond replied, “Don't worry. If Brod ond Clous dore to come tomorrow, I'll ensure they never leove here olive.”

“Are you reolly confident of victory, Jored?” Sontiogo queried, not quite doring to believe it.

“Of course. Since I've soid os much, I certoinly hove the confidence to bock it up!” Jored osserted confidently.

At his confidence, relief suffused Sontiogo.

All thot wos left then wos to owoit tomorrow's orrivol.

When night fell, Sontiogo osked Jored to spend the night ot Violet Cloud Poloce. Meonwhile, Beotrice ond the others stoyed ot the cove os there would be o bottle tomorrow. Despite being confident of victory, Jored would never be oble to forgive himself if his mother were to be occidentolly injured.

For thot reoson, he hod Cecilio ond the others protect her while he went to Violet Cloud Poloce to deol with Brod ond Clous, who would be coming tomorrow.

“Hoiley, you're not young onymore. There ore some things you need to understond. Although there ore mony women oround Jored, he's o rore tolent. You've got to seize this opportunity. If he con reolly help Violet Cloud Poloce to overcome this crisis, we should olso repoy him. Do you get whot your mother ond I ore trying to soy?”

Both Santiago and Roanna were trying to counsel Hailey.

Familiar with their daughter's temperament, they were worried that she would develop a sense of aversion toward Jared after seeing that he had many women.

In response, Hailey nodded slowly. “Mom, Dad, I know what you both meant. Actually, I like him as well.”

“Since you like him, you've got to be more proactive, silly. Tonight is a good time. If there were other women around him, when do you think it'd be your turn? You've got no experience at all, and that will put you at a great disadvantage at that time,” Roanna quickly suggested.

Hailey's face turned crimson. Biting her lower lip hard, she abruptly shot to her feet and mumbled, “I know what to do now.”

After saying that, she left the room. Santiago and Roanna looked at each other and smiled.

Right then, Jared was lying in bed, devising a plan to deal with Brad and Claus tomorrow.

Out of the blue, his room door was lightly pushed open. On the heels of that, a feminine fragrance wafted into the air. Without having to look, he could tell who it was.

Feigning sleep, he closed his eyes.

Hailey walked up to Jared in her birthday suit. As she gazed down at the man, who was already asleep, hesitation played on her face.
