"Very well! You asked for this! If it's a fight you want, it's exactly what you are going to get!" Seeing how stubborn Benedict was, Sean sneered and commanded one of the Lapwoods guards. "Solomon, teach this old twat a lesson. Beat him until he says yes!""Yes!" a mid-aged, majestic-looking man stepped forward, "take this, old man!"Solomon fired up his true energy and darted toward Benedict."The Advanced Overlord State?!" Benedict's expression darkened in the face of the overpowering wave of energy pressing toward him. Not daring to stand still, he backed away from Solomon's attack swiftly.However, Solomon was simply far too superior in speed and power; Benedict only managed to dodge a few attacks and was soon in danger."Brother, let us help!"...Another martial artist in the Initial Overlord State, Tomas Shear, along with a few of the Shears' elders leaped into the air to attack Solomon."A bunch of trash! Know your places!" Solomon sneered in contempt.As a martial art
"No way in hell! I'm not agreeing to it even if it means the death of me!" Benedict gritted out.He knew that Theodore was a known womanizer in Springfield City and since Leon destroyed his legs, he were rendered completely useless.With that considered, Benedict would never agree to marry his granddaughter to such a man.With the Dragon Corps to maintain order, the Lapwoods would not dare to do anything to them so long as he refused the proposal to the very end."How stubborn?! You asked for this!" Enraged, Sean ordered, "Solomon, destroy him and teach him what it's like to cross a Lapwood!""Yes!" Solomon fired up his true energy once again and stepped toward Benedict."That's enough, Lapwood! If you dare to kill my grandfather, the Dragon Corps will have your heads!" Terrified, Cynthia stood before Benedict to protect him."I know that, but I don't intend on killing anyone!" Sean said casually.The Shears sighed a breath of relief, but what Sean said next sent chills down th
"So what if I'm still in love with him? Theodore, if you refuse to back off, Leon's going to avenge us and destroy you all!" Cynthia said coldly.After the fight between Leon and Harold, Cynthia heard that Leon reached the Advanced Overlord State. Though there was one martial artist on the same level as Leon on the Lapwoods' end, a man as brave and brilliant as Leon would stand a chance against them."Destroy us? Like he can! Hahaha!" Theodore burst out laughing."What are you laughing at, Theodore Fields?!" Cynthia's expression darkened."I'm laughing at how naive you are! Cynthia, my brother-in-law brought along three guards. Two are in the Advanced Overlord State and the last one is in the Peak Overlord State! If Leon so much as shows his face here, we'll crush him into bits!" Theodore sneered smugly."What?!" The Shears were stunned.They all thought that Solomon was the only martial artist the Fields brought with them and did not expect Sean to have two martial artists in th
"What?!"The Shears were shocked."Cynthia, the Fields are monsters. How can you agree to it? I won't agree to this!" Brad said in frustration."Yeah! Cynthia, don't agree with it! You are ruining your own life!" Harvey roared as he glared daggers at the Fields and Sean."Dad, Harvey, it's fine. As one of the descendants of the Shears, I can't just stand by and watch as they destroy us. If sacrificing my happiness can keep you safe, it's all worth it," Cynthia bit down on her lip. Tears welled in her eyes, but she kept them in before her enemies."But-"Brad and the other Shears fell into silence gloomily as they knew that Cynthia was right. Before such absolute power, the Shears had no choice but to comply."Why is this happening?" Benedict muttered in devastation."That's great!" Seeing how Cynthia finally agreed to marry him, Theodore burst out laughing in excitement."Don't get all excited just yet, Theodore! I can agree to this, but there's one condition!" Cynthia glared
"Benedict, now that we are on the same page, let's have their wedding tomorrow!" Walter stood forward."What?! Tomorrow?! No way!" Cynthia was shocked, as she thought that she would be engaged to Theodore first, and did not expect the Fields to request that they get married right away."Why not? Cynthia, I've already agreed to spare Leon. Don't ask for too much!" Theodore said in displeasure.He only pretended to accept Cynthia's terms and he had to marry her before Leon returned to Springfield. By then, he would have already made Cynthia his, and Cynthia would not be able to disobey him."Okay," Cynthia agreed reluctantly."It's settled, then! Let's go!"Sean and Walter smirked smugly, before taking the others and leaving the Shear Mansion."Damn it!"The Shears watched as Sean and the others disappeared into the distance, seething with rage.Cynthia could no longer suppress the despair that overtook her and broke down in tears.She waited for Leon to return from Seacove Cit
"No! I won't agree to that! Grandpa, it's too big a price to pay to sacrifice so many people and what we've built for the past hundreds of years! I won't be at peace even if I manage to leave Springfield City!" Cynthia shook her head and rejected Benedict's idea."But-" Benedict wanted to try and convince Cynthia but was interrupted immediately."That's enough, Grandpa! I've decided that I'm not leaving Springfield City, even if it means the death of me!" Cynthia said with determination."But you," Benedict was rendered helpless seeing how determined she was.Brad was at a crossroads as he would have to sacrifice his daughter or his father no matter what.Naturally, they were not the only ones struggling; the other Shears all fell into silence in despair....In the afternoon, the Fields began preparing for the wedding and sent out invitations to all members of the elite society in Springfield City to participate in the wedding between Theodore and Cynthia.The Fields and the S
In the Fields Mansion, the outdoor plaza in front of the mansion was decorated most extravagantly for Theodore's wedding day.There were ribbons and balloons of all different colors, laced with red curtains, forming a beautiful roof over the plaza.The Fields covered the entire ground with red velvet carpet and glittered it with flower petals, before decorating the sides with lights to form a path toward the plaza.At the end of the red carpets, there was a gigantic stage that was built overnight with patterns formed with pearls and flower petals and handrails made with gold.On the sides of the stage was an endless grass field filled with chairs that could house thousands of guests.The beautiful venue, wonderful music, and extravagant decoration were all so breathtaking that they rivaled the engagement party between Cynthia and Leon....Just then, countless luxury cars parked outside the plaza as all the powerful figures invited by the Fields arrived at the wedding venue.Th
"She's so beautiful!""As expected of the second most beautiful woman in the city. It's as if an angel fell from Heaven!""God knows how Theodore Fields gets so lucky to marry her!"...All the young men in the audience gasped when they saw Cynthia and turned to look at Theodore enviously.Cynthia was one of the Four Beauties and if Theodore was perfectly healthy and well, he could be considered a man worthy of Cynthia's hand in marriage; however, with his legs destroyed, everyone simply felt sorry for Cynthia.Just then, Benedict and the Shears stepped out of the cars at the back of the convoy and like Cynthia, there was a dark expression on every one of them.Following the arrival of Cynthia, Theodore, and the Shears, the wedding officially began.A man in a suit and a woman in a nightgown stepped onto the steps.The two were famous television hosts and were hired to host the wedding. Apart from the hosts, the Fields hired several famous actors and actresses to be the grooms
