Chapter 322: Scheming
“You… Audrey, how dare you harm your fellow clansmen!” Pierre growled. As the Great Clan Elder, if he did not care about the safety of his clansmen, who would submit to him in the future.
“Fellow clansmen? I don’t deserve it. I have nothing to do with the Davis family.” Audrey snorted coldly and said frankly.
Pierre could not help but feel even angrier. He wished he could just charge in and kill Audrey, but he could not do that.
“Great Clan Elder, what should we do?” Houston asked anxiously from the side.
It was not easy to get a chance to subdue Audrey. Was he going to miss it just like that?
Pierre frowned and stared at Audrey. After a moment of stalemate, he finally said, “What do you want to do? Let them go, and I’ll let your father go.”
Hearing this, Audrey curled the corners of her lips in satisfaction.
However, she would not believe Pierre’s words so easily. Audrey had long witnessed the despicable shamelessness of the Davis clan. It was not impossible for her to go back on her words.
“Alright! Let my father out first.” Audrey still did not have the intention of letting those disciples leave.
“Come out first and let them go,” Pierre replied.
Audrey immediately snorted coldly and said sarcastically, “I’ve seen the shamelessness of the Davis family. I won’t be fooled a second time. If you let my father go, I naturally won’t hurt them.”
He did not expect Audrey to be so smart and cunning. Pierre had no choice but to do as she said.
He took out the clan leader’s token and placed it in the groove on the door. As expected, the door opened.
Pierre waved his hand and sent two guards in to bring Calder out. After seeing her father for a few months, Audrey’s eyes welled up with tears.
She did not know what her father had suffered for the past few months. Even his beard had turned white, and he had experienced many vicissitudes.
“Audrey!” When Calder saw his daughter, his heart instantly tensed up. He was extremely nervous.
He had never expected Audrey to barge in here alone to save him.
“Father, please leave.” Audrey nodded and gave Calder a look of affirmation. She knew that only by doing so would her father be able to leave without worry.
Then, Audrey looked at Morris and said, “Morris, please take my father away and ensure his safety.”
“Don’t worry, leave it to me.” Morris nodded and said with certainty.
Calder followed Morris and left. Only after confirming that they had probably left the Davis family did Audrey remove the protective barrier and release those disciples.
Seeing this, Pierre and Houston stepped forward one after another, trying to catch Audrey.
At this moment, Audrey suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a group of astonished and furious people.
Audrey used teleportation and directly left the Davis clan, returning to the small courtyard she had purchased. Morris had also returned with Calder.
“Audrey, it was really too dangerous just now. You shouldn’t have risked so much for me,” Calder stepped forward and said with a heavy tone.
If something happened to Audrey, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
“Father, I’m fine. You have to believe that I have the strength to protect you now,” Audrey chuckled and said those rea.s.suring words to make Calder feel more comfortable.
“It’s good that you’re fine…” Calder repeated those words.
Audrey nodded and then asked about the various things that the Davis family had done to Calder. Only from Calder did Audrey know that her father had been locked up by them a week ago.
However, probably because they wanted to force Audrey to return to the Davis family, they did not dare to do anything harmful to Calder.
“Father, you have to be careful in the future. The Davis family is too despicable.”
“I will. You have to be careful too.”
The father and daughter talked about what happened after they parted. Audrey only left the small courtyard late at night. Before she left, she deliberately added an extra layer of seal to the courtyard so that the outside world could not find her.
Of course, except for Morris.
When the two of them left together, Morris blurted out, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about what happened in the small courtyard.”
Hearing this, Audrey immediately smiled. There was no one who knew her better than Morris.
“Thank you.” Audrey did not say anything else. Just a simple word was enough to express all of her feelings.
“You don’t have to be so polite with me.” Morris smiled. A crafty look flashed across his eyes as he said, “It’s getting late. You should go back quickly. We’ll meet again very soon.”
With that said, Morris flew away quickly, just like when he came.
Audrey was stunned for a moment. She did not understand what Morris meant by his last sentence.
Meet again soon? Why did he say that? Forget it! He always came and went like this. She should have gotten used to it long ago.
Audrey walked back to the Templar Knights by herself. When she thought of the threat and oppression she felt when she fought with Pierre and the others today, she felt a little worried and afraid.
As expected, when strength and reputation did not match, disaster would ensue.
