Chapter 1245Chapter 1245 A Liar
Thanks to the attack, Angelo was bleeding from his mouth and his nose. He quickly knelt to the ground
and pleaded, “Please stop hitting me. I beg of you.”
Angelo never expected Peyton to not fear his father.
After all, he had been behaving brazenly in public just because his father was a general in the
Department of Justice. At the same time, no one dared to mess with him.
When he saw Cecilia’s announcement, he decided to use the opportunity to take advantage of her.
To his surprise, a mere general of the Department of Justice was nothing in the eyes of a powerful sect.
Finally, Angelo was beaten to a pulp. Even so, Peyton did not kill the former. Though the position of a
general in the Department of Justice was not powerful, it was a part of the government. Hence, Peyton
decided to show some respect.Playvolume
“Get lost. I would’ve killed you today if it wasn’t for your father!” Peyton roared.
Angelo dashed out of the palace. He was in no mood to have fun with pretty ladies anymore.
The entire exchange left Cecilia stomping her feet in anger. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect
Angelo to be just acting cool.
If I knew his father was Horace, I never would’ve shown him such respect. Ugh! A mere general of the
department of justice!
The thought of how Angelo flirted with her yesterday made her blood boil.

is such a joke. I can’t believe you even offered your body as a reward. Look at the current situation. Is
anyone offering their help? It’s time you realize what’s happening and give in obediently. Crimson
Palace will be mine in the future. With Divine Beast Sect as a backer, I’ll make Crimson Palace the
second most powerful clan in the south.”
Peyton slowly made his way toward Cecilia with smugness written all over his face.
At the same time, Cecilia kept moving backward, looking utterly disgusted.
“You perverted animal. I’ll never let you take advantage of us, even if we die.” With that, Cecilia pulled
out her sword, preparing to fight to the death.
The disciples of Crimson Palace were ready to do the same, too.
Cecilia’s only concern was Millie, who was missing at that very moment. It made the former incredibly
worried.
“Ms. Sanchez, once the fight begins, I want you to look for Millie and take her away,” Cecilia said to an
elder, Harriet Sanchez.
Harriet hesitated for a moment but nodded. “Don’t worry, Lady Jingle. I’ll definitely take Millie away from
here.”
Now that Cecilia had no more concerns, she glared at Peyton furiously. “Peyton, one of us is going to
die today, no matter what. So, bring it on.”
Peyton instantly exuded a horrifying aura, and he ordered the subordinates behind him, “Get them but
don’t kill them. They’re still useful alive.”
With that, Peyton charged straight for Cecilia, and everyone launched into a battle.However, Peyton’s purpose was not to kill them. Thus, he did not go all out. That was why Cecilia and
the others could fight against Peyton and his men.
While the fight was going on, Millie was still looking for Jared. She strongly believed he had not left
Crimson Palace.
She had been searching the entire night. In fact, she had searched every inch of Crimson Palace, but
Jared was nowhere to be seen.
Millie went deeper into Crimson Palace and walked along the stream.
The mountain was the last place she had not searched.
As she followed the stream, she soon found a cave.
The dark cave made Millie a little frightened, and she did not dare to enter it. After all, she rarely visited
the place because Cecilia said no one was to enter it casually.
Since Millie did not dare to enter the dark cave, she could only shout from the entrance, “Is anyone in
there? Jared, are you there?”
Her voice traveled through the long cave and finally reached Jared’s ears.
novelbinUpon hearing that, Jared, who was cultivating, opened his eyes.
He recognized it was Millie’s voice the moment he heard it.
