Chapter 558 Lash Out
The presbyter of the Spiritual Sword Sect went out for a while, and when he returned, he brought in a slim and
beautiful woman who was none other than Violet Moore.
The chubby eyes lit up instantly.
“I am Roy Odom, the leader of the Spiritual Sword Sect. I have long heard of Miss Moore’s name. Today, I have the
honor to meet you. You’re indeed of heavenly appearance and country-destroying beauty…”
The chubby eagerly stepped forward and complimented Violet.
Nigel coughed heavily and reprimanded, “Roy! Show some restrain!”
Only then did Roy restrain himself, but his squinted eyes never left Violet’s body, apparently stunned by her beauty.
After all, she was a woman with a similarity degree of more than 90% to Kate Williams, so how could she not be
stunning?
“I, Violet Moore, salute you, Sir Lopez and Mr. Lopez!”
Violet was born into the Cloud School, an absolutely scholarly family, which explained why she was naturally
well-mannered and graceful.
Nigel couldn’t help but secretly admire her after seeing her.
Such a well-mannered girl.
Such a shame.
She had to deal with such a snobbish mother like Faith, which might affect her personality to some extent.
Nigel smiled and introduced, “Miss Moore, this is Harry Hogan, the inheritor of our Heavenly Sword Emperor.”
In fact, without his introduction, after exchanging greetings politely, Violet had already shifted her gaze to
John and was carefully examining him.
Before entering the Sword Emperor Hall, Faith told her that, in addition to befriending the Sword Emperor’s
inheritor as much as possible, she had a more important goal, which was to determine whether he was John.
Everything is too coincidental.
Just a few days after Steven gave John the Sword Talisman, word spread that the Sword Emperor’s inheritor had
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtemerged from the dormant Sword Emperor Mountain after decades of silence.
Although Faith kept saying that it was absolutely impossible for it to be John, deep down in her heart, she was
suspicious.
The same goes for Violet.
She was a contradictory entity, hoping that the inheritor to the Sword Emperor was John but, at the same
time, unsure of how she would feel if it really was him.
“Miss Moore, it’s not appropriate to keep staring at me like this when we’ve just met, isn’t it?”
Violet was dozing off when she was startled awake by a strange young voice.
The voice didn’t sound like John’s.
But Violet wasn’t so naive.
Because for a cultivator, it is not that difficult to change one’s timbre by controlling the voice.
Violet regained her senses and said, “My apologies, Mr. Hogan. I just felt that your physique and aura gave me a
sense of familiarity, very much like a friend of mine, which is why I was momentarily lost in thought.”
“If I have unintentionally offended you, I hope you will not take offense, Mr. Hogan.”
When she spoke, her clear eyes were fixed on John’s.
Violet could only use that place to determine John’s psychological changes because he was wearing a mask.
John couldn’t help sneering in his heart.
He practiced the transformation technique to change his physical appearance and used the Mirage Ice Pearl to
disguise his aura. Therefore, the familiarity that Violet felt toward him was completely unfounded.
The purpose of saying that was, of course, to probe John.
She deserved to be the daughter raised solely by Faith. She had the appearance of a white lotus flower, but she
was actually a scheming little bitch.
In John’s eyes, her little scheme was insignificant.
His pupils did not flutter in the least.
Chubby tried to speak on his behalf, saying, “Miss Moore, you don’t have to be so formal. John is very friendly, and
he won’t feel offended… Ouch!”
A scream broke out before he could finish his sentence.
While grabbing the chubby’s ear, Nigel apologized and looked at John and Violet with an apologetic expression,
saying, “Harry, Miss Moore, take your time to chat.”
After that, Roy was dragged out of the hall.
The Spiritual Sword Sect’s presbyter naturally followed them outside, showing a great sense of tact.
The atmosphere in the hall became somewhat awkward, with only John and Violet remaining. In the end, it was
John who broke the silence and asked, “Miss Moore, why are you so eager to meet with me?”
This was purely a rhetorical question on his part.
“I like to make friends,” Violet replied softly, “so I am very grateful to Mr. Hogan for taking the time to meet me.”
“Oh, really?”
In a light tone, John suddenly said, “But I heard that Miss Moore has a proud character. Many young men from
Cloud School have actively approached you, but you are not willing to pay attention to them, are you?”
Violet became silent for a moment.
His words put Violet in a difficult position.
Violet struggled to respond because she couldn’t simply say that she preferred to associate with highly promising
individuals and that ordinary young men didn’t interest her.
That Harry really doesn’t know how to read the mood.
Violet’s expression became a little melancholic, but she also inexplicably felt a strange sensation in her heart. This
kind of speech that put people in an awkward position was really too similar to the way that John spoke
Seeing Violet’s silence, instead of mocking her further, John joked, “Miss Moore, it’s an honor to meet you, but I’ve
never been short on friends. I only lack females.)
Violet remained speechless.
“Miss Moore, you should understand what I mean, right?” John asked, staring at Violet.
While speaking, he unexpectedly reached out his hand and pinched her snow-white chin.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr. Hogan, please behave yourself!”
Violet fought her way free of John’s grasp.
“Behave?”
Suddenly, John let out a sneer and said, “Violet, the reason you came to see me today was to please me, right? In
that case, why don’t we cut to the chase and get straight to the point?”
As he spoke, he moved closer to Violet. His footsteps created a strong sense of pressure that weighed heavily on
her.
Violet immediately became angry and said, “Mr. Hogan, you can refuse to befriend me, but you cannot humiliate
me like this. I am not the kind person you imagine me to be!”
Faith had an impact on her, and in terms of character, she would show a willingness to befriend strong and
potential people.
However, befriending does not imply pleasing.
Just like in the past at the Cinnabar Sect, Faith had advised her to seduce John, but in reality, Violet strongly disliked
the idea of seduction.
At that time, she was willing to stay in the Cinnabar Sect to look for John. Her intention was to apologize, make
friends, and, if possible, develop a deeper relationship with him.
If a deeper relationship could not be formed, she would regard it as making a new friend, which would also be
acceptable to her.
The same applied to her visit to the Heavenly Sword Emperor’s inheritor today. Faith had instructed Violet to
behave well and try to win the favor of the inheritor, which had a hint of flattery and favor-seeking.
Violet’s self-esteem prevented her from doing so.
Violet, being a goddess-like figure at Cloud School, could have afforded to let go of her pride and taken the initiative
to make friends with highly potential individuals. However, it should have been noted that her friendly gestures
were not the same as trying to please them.
That’s why Violet became enraged at what John said.
