Chapter 1183 The Promise

• Serenity said, “That's right!” She paused before continuing, “Mr. Dowsett killed Jon's master. The reason Mr. Dowsett could kill his master was because there was a traitor within Jon's sect who colluded with Mr. Dowsett. The traitor's name is Gregory. Jon came here specifically to eliminate this traitor. He doesn't plan to confront Mr. Dowsett because the one he despises the most is the traitor, Gregory.”
• “A b*stard who would conspire with outsiders to betray and murder his master is indeed more detestable!” Sheridan snapped.
• Serenity added, “However, what Jon didn't expect was that the b*stard, Gregory, later sought refuge under my dad's wing. Moreover, my father valued him greatly, secretly using him to refine pills. When Jon indirectly learned about this, he feigned a proposal to visit Wrath City with me. At that time, I didn't suspect anything and happily agreed. After arriving in Wrath City, he spent much time with me. My father also thought highly of him and was willing to bless our union. He was willing to marry me, and I always thought he genuinely wanted to. It was only later that I realized he planned to marry me, hoping that on our wedding day, when all the guests returned, Gregory might also come to attend the wedding feast. Jon was right in his gamble. That day, Gregory indeed came. So, at the wedding banquet, after seeing Gregory, he suddenly apologized to me. I was still wondering why he would apologize out of the blue. He abruptly pulled out a knife, took off his mask, and said to Gregory chillingly that he was there to avenge Master Richard. Jon had loudly declared that anyone who dared to betray the sect must be punished no matter what. He killed Gregory on the spot. After that, my father arrested him. My father was furious, not only because Jon had killed Gregory, causing his plan to refine the pill to fail, but also because there were many guests present that day, and Jon had caused my father to be embarrassed.”
