Chapter 369 Richard Is Angry
Elijah whispered into Jonathan's ear, “Jonathan, these girls are just different. It was so incredible and enjoyable! Do
you want to give it a shot... Oh, forget about it.”
Jonathan smiled. “You can enjoy it now, but don't act like this after you get married.”
Elijah chuckled. “That's why I'll never get married. Marriage is so boring and restrictive!”
Jonathan was reminded of how he didn't want to marry but was eventually forced to.
However, thinking about it carefully, he had never regretted marrying Catherine.
He considered himself blessed and contented with having a wife like Catherine in this lifetime.
He looked up at this moment and saw the blushing blond woman waiting for Elijah.
Elijah told Jonathan, “Jonathan, you can take my car and go back first. I'll be out of contact for the rest of the day.”
Jonathan nodded. “Take care of yourself.”
Elijah responded, “Don't worry. I'm a great fighter, at the very least. What kind of danger could I possibly face?”
Jonathan reciprocated his smile. “Get lost, then.”
Elijah stated, “I'll go and enjoy myself now.” Then, he hurriedly walked toward the blond woman with a grin. He
wound his arm tightly around her waist and left.
Meanwhile, Jonathan got in the Mercedes-Benz.
He immediately saw some unknown stains and even found a pair of lace panties.
What the f*ck? They are so shameless!
Jonathan could still detect a strange odor, so he quickly opened the convertible top and pressed the circulation
button.
It took a while for the smell to dissipate before Jonathan could drive back to Catherine's place.
Catherine had come together with them, but she was staying in the hotel. Since she didn't need to carry out any
mission, she had no choice but to come along with them. However, Jonathan knew she preferred a tranquil
environment and disliked cumbersome customs, so he offered to let her stay in the hotel.
Catherine was already asleep when Jonathan reached the hotel. He entered the room quietly to shower. Then, he
got into bed and hugged her from under the blankets.
Catherine nestled in his arms comfortably.
No matter how nasty his desires were, they dissipated the moment he hugged Catherine. His heart ached for her.
To like is to run wild, to love is to restrain.
Two days later, everyone was waiting to pay their respects to Divine Emperor as usual in the morning.
However, while the disciples were waiting outside, a young man appeared among the masters this time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe disciples were surprised because they had never seen such a young person walking among the masters before.
This young man was dressed in white, making him seem like a divine being out of a painting.
In addition, he exuded an ethereal aura that rendered people powerless to resist their awe of him.
Even Beatrix, who had such a firm will and control over herself, was momentarily stunned after seeing this young
man.
The young man was naturally Ignatius.
He stood in the middle with Richard, Oswald, Gideon, Edward, and the rest of the inner circle disciples surrounding
him.
Without a doubt, he was the center of attention.
His cultivation had reached the level of Third Divine, which was certainly something to be amazed about.
Ignatius was a highly talented individual, especially since Tristan raised him. No one knows how many elixirs and
medicinal herbs Tristan had given him to make him the person he was now.
This was an opportunity that no one else had.
Although Oswald and the other masters were also the Divine Emperor's disciples, most of them had never even
seen what he looked like, let alone received any guidance from him.
The three disciples who had the most contact with the Divine Emperor were probably Tristan, Lance, and Magnus,
and these three disciples were all extraordinary beings!
“He's Ignatius!” Beatrix muttered into Jonathan's ear outside the shrine.
Jonathan whispered, “I know.”
Simon, Elijah, Lesley, and Catherine were all standing beside Jonathan.
Everyone merely stood in solemn silence and did not speak to each other anymore.
After Ignatius and the other masters had paid their respects to Divine Emperor and left the shrine, the disciples
bowed before them. “Greetings, masters!”
At this moment, Jonathan and the others couldn't escape greeting them, as no one could bear the consequences of
disrespecting the masters when they were in Divine Realm.
Ignatius was right in front.
At this moment, he was still as young and arrogant as ever, but he was also the person most people looked up to.
He was the protagonist, while the others were merely side characters.
Just then, he stopped in front of Jonathan.
Immediately, Jonathan became the center of attention as everyone looked at him.
“Ignatius, what's wrong?” Oswald looked at Ignatius, confused.
Ignatius curled his lips into a smile. “Oswald, you must not know that Jonathan is my older brother.”
Oswald, Gideon, and Edward were dumbfounded upon hearing that.
Ignatius sneered coldly and said to Jonathan, who was still bowing before them, “I told you that you would care
about my opinion.”
With that, he didn't say anything else. He turned around and left.
After Ignatius left, Jonathan and the others finally stood up straight. Jonathan's mentality was strong. He would
never feel defeated because of what just happened with Ignatius.
He had seen through Ignatius' intentions.
It's obvious he wants everyone to know that he's my brother. It's so that people would make the comparison that
he's the star while I'm the hopeless one.
After everyone paid their respects to Divine Emperor, a promotion ceremony was held for Ignatius in Grand Hall.
This time, all the disciples within Divine Realm had to attend, including Alice and the other outer disciples.
However, they didn't have champagne and flowers this time. Only the masters on stage received them.
Ignatius stood proudly on the stage, among the masters, as Oswald gave him the Golden Token.
Oswald said, “Ignatius, from today onward, you are one of the masters in Divine Realm and also Divine Emperor's
first-generation inner disciple. All the disciples of the Divine Realm must respect you. If there are any who do not
respect you, you can execute them.” He paused and continued, “In addition, there are not enough human
resources regarding the management of Luminary Vessel. You will be the one managing it from now on while
Richard will support you.” He glanced at Richard and asked, “Richard, Divine Emperor personally appointed him. Do
you have any objections?”
Jonathan and the others were rendered speechless, astonished. Oswald is openly trying to remove Richard's
authority and power!
Richard glanced at Oswald before turning to look at Ignatius. Ignatius seemed indifferent about the entire situation.
Richard scoffed coldly before uttering, “Oswald, why do I feel you're the busier one with The Inquisition? Why don't
you give it to Ignatius instead?”
Oswald sneered and replied, “I would like to, but Ignatius doesn't like The Inquisition. He prefers your department.”
Richard replied, “I'm sorry, but Divine Emperor personally appointed me to be in charge of Luminary Vessel. If you
guys want Luminary Vessel, there are only two ways. First, kill me. Second, obtain Divine Emperor's personal order.
Otherwise, no one should step near Luminary Vessel.”
Richard was not someone to be trifled with. He was really enraged by this.
Oswald froze momentarily, and a profound smile flashed across his face before quickly disappearing.
However, Jonathan caught it and instantly understood Oswald's intentions.
Oswald wants Richard to publicly offend Ignatius. If that happens, this will create an enmity between them, and
Ignatius will be on Oswald's side. Oswald is truly cunning!
However, Oswald seemed to have forgotten an important point, which was that Ignatius was no fool.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIgnatius smiled and said, “Richard, please don't be angry. If you aren't willing, let's forget about it.”
Oswald chimed in, “All right, then. Ignatius, I'll provide you with your own residence first. As for your position, we'll
slowly discuss it until you are satisfied.”
Ignatius replied, “Thank you.” He paused and took the Golden Token. “Can I really command any disciples with this
Golden Token?”
Oswald replied, “Of course!”
Jonathan's heart sank, and he immediately knew that Ignatius was up to something.
Ignatius stated, “I'm very happy today, and I'm grateful for all of your appreciation. Since we have no champagne
in our glasses yet, can I ask a disciple to come up and pour us some?”
Oswald responded, “Of course!”
Ignatius immediately turned to where Jonathan was standing and uttered, “My dear brother, can you pour us some
champagne?”
It was evident he wanted to humiliate Jonathan in front of everyone.
Jonathan was not in a good position to refuse at this time. Just as he was about to speak up, Richard interrupted,
“Ignatius, there are many outer disciples present, and they are specifically responsible for these matters. You didn't
look for them but instead came to ask my disciple to pour the champagne. Are you deliberately trying to humiliate
me?”
Ignatius was slightly stunned, and an inexplicable cold look flashed across his face.
Richard couldn't care less about offending Ignatius since he knew his relationship with Ignatius was already
irreconcilable.
Ignatius didn't say anything. At this moment, Alice walked onto the stage and respectfully bowed. “I'm Alice, and I
am honored to serve all of you leaders!” She then picked up the champagne and started pouring it into their
glasses.
Ignatius looked at Richard and smiled. “Richard, you're adorable. I'll definitely remember you.”
Richard scoffed coldly and retorted, “When I was born, your father was still playing in the mud. How dare you say
that I am adorable? You are really immature.”
This was a complete falling out between Ignatius and Richard.
Richard had no qualms in refuting Ignatius since they were on equal grounds and statuses. Ignatius would not dare
to kill Richard.
Although he could kill Richard, this would mean that he would not be able to stay in Divine Realm anymore.
Divine Emperor would definitely be furious about it. His father wouldn't be able to do anything about it, let alone
himself.
Jonathan and the others were exhilarated upon hearing this, but they didn't show it.
Ignatius scoffed coldly before storming off in a huff.
Although Ignatius had profound cultivation, he was far less mature and artful than Jonathan and Richard.
