"Mr. Black, Ms. Morgan is here to see Jaden," a subordinate reported to Cecil.

Zara? After seeing Cecil's nod, Jaden said, "Let her in."

Her sudden visit at this hour gave Jaden an uneasy feeling. Zara greeted Cecil when she entered, "Mr. Black."

Cecil said with a smile, "Zara, you must have urgent business at this hour. Go ahead, I won't leave."

Hearing this, Zara turned to Jaden and got straight to the point, asking, "Jaden, would you please release Felix?"

Jaden's expression darkened. Damn, was Felix some kind of celebrity? He had barely taken him, yet people already knew and were pleading for his release. "No way."

A flash of disappointment crossed Zara's face as she continued, "You promised me you wouldn't clash with Felix again. Are you going to break your word to me too?"

Shaking his head, Jaden replied seriously, "I'm not breaking my promise. This time, Felix killed one of our disciples from Crimson Sage Sect. As an elder of the sect, how could I stand and do nothing, especially when I was nearby? "Don't try to convince me otherwise, Zara. This concerns our sect's reputation, so it's not something you and I can decide."

Cecil chimed in, "That's correct. Those who kill must pay with their lives. If we stay silent when our disciples are killed, who would choose to train at Crimson Sage in the future? Surely you understand this."

Though Zara suspected foul play, she had neither the means nor time to investigate. "Trust me, you shouldn't go against Felix! Killing him would be like stirring up a hornet's nest."

Hornet's nest? Jaden scoffed. "Ha! You mean Xena? Sorry, but according to the rules, she can't do anything about this."

After recalling a certain scene, Zara's voice trembled slightly as she said, "Felix did something remarkable. He risked his life to save over a dozen children, and he's earned every traditional medicine practitioner's respect. "How could someone like him randomly kill a Crimson Sage Sect disciple in broad daylight?

As Jaden was about to speak, Cecil's eyes narrowed as he realized something. "So, Silas sent you here?"

Zara nodded. "Yes! Mr. Grayson couldn't come himself, so he sent me. Since the two of you

are friends, he hopes this matter can be resolved peacefully. Otherwise, Crimson Sage Sect will definitely be the one to suffer."

""Bullshit!"

Jaden stood up abruptly, shouting, "Zara, aren't we good friends with each other? Do all our years of friendship mean less than your brief acquaintance with that bastard Felix? Now you're even threatening Crimson Sage Sect!

"To be blunt, even Mr. Grayson wouldn't be able to fight us. Who are you to speak like this? "He was furious. First, the woman he wanted, and now his longtime friend. He felt like he was about to go mad.

The smile had vanished from Cecil's face. "Has Silas lost his mind? No amount of pleading will change this matter. You can tell him exactly that. Besides, he still owes me a huge favor!"

Just then, someone spoke again. "Mr. Black and Jaden, Lady Summers has arrived."
