At the thought of this, Caspian's image in Lucas's heart suddenly became blurred.Just as Lucas was still in a daze, he heard Tony's voice.Tony's gaze was slightly lowered as he said, "The Lawrence family's reputation is indeed going to be tarnished if this matter spreads out. However, this marriage will be beneficial for the long-term development of our families. I believe you can think of a plan that can satisfy both of us."James forced a smile and answered, "It's not easy to think of a plan that can satisfy both of the parties. Tony, you know that my father decided on Jessica's marriage back then. He's now in seclusion to break through the peak of the second stage of the Pulse Control Realm. However, I've received news that he’ll be out smoothly in a few days." Although James's words might seem unintentional, Tony's body slightly trembled when he heard them, and there was a shrewd light flashing deep in his eyes. As for James, he did not appear to have noticed Tony's peculi
When they heard the sounds, the surrounding Lawrence family members all exclaimed, and many of them showed a look of astonishment on their faces. James nodded his head lightly, showing a praising expression. "Harold’s so young, yet he's already mastered the Yates family's Iron Fists until this level. This is indeed a rare sight, and it's worth being proud of."Tony was secretly happy about this comment, but he appeared unruffled on the surface. "Harold’s been training hard since he was a child. He's considerably gifted, and his speed in cultivating the Iron Fists is estimated to be barely in the top five in the Yates family's history.""Ssss—" Those spectators that heard the conversation all gasped.Lucas and Fabian's faces instantly turned uglier. They were almost breaking out in cold sweats.The spectators then turned to look at Caspian, and they noticed that Caspian was just standing there, appearing unbothered. Moreover, he seemed to be oblivious. Thus, everyone's gaze was
James waited until the angry Tony left with the severely injured Harold. Then, he glanced at Caspian. "Follow me."After that, he turned around and walked out of the gymnasium.Caspian raised his brows, but he returned to his initially slightly languid self. Soon, he followed James.The other Lawrence family's seniors, such as Keith, hesitated before following them.After all, even a foolish person could tell James's attitude toward Caspian differed from what they expected. If James wanted to connect with the Yates family through marriage, he would take advantage of the situation to get rid of Caspian.Moreover, James personally protected Caspian.His attitude baffled the Lawrence family's seniors.As the seniors were suspicious, they followed him. In an instant, the gymnasium was only left with the spectators and the rest of the Lawrence family members.After a brief silence, the Lawrence family members started discussing among themselves, and everyone was stunned."If I di
"Thank you for everything, Uncle James." Caspian cupped his hands and bowed.Since he was allowed to stay with the Lawrence family, it meant that Caspian had achieved the first step of his plan.James rhythmically tapped on the chair, and he looked at Caspian, saying, "Casper, there are a few things that I must let you know. Before this, the Lawrence family prepared a sum of money and some gifts to welcome you. However, based on what happened today, I won't be able to make a good explanation to others if I don't punish you."Then, James continued, "Since that's the case, I'll remove some of your supposed gifts and leave you with two only. When you're finally settled in, you can find some time in the next two days to visit Lawrence Fort's martial art chamber. There, you can pick a skill and a weapon. You must remember that since you stepped into my gate today, the Lawrence family will have to be responsible for you. I don't want what happened today to happen again. As for your identi
At the thought of this, the light in Lucas's eyes shined brighter.Before this, he thought that Caspian was only a mature teenager. Moreover, during the four-month journey together, Caspian appeared languid and did not do anything out of the ordinary.However, after seeing what happened today and Caspian's analysis just now, Lucas finally understood that he had underestimated Caspian!In an instant, Lucas felt that he did not understand Caspian, and he was unsure whether bringing Caspian into the Lawrence family was good or bad.Fabian finally recovered from the shock, and he stuttered, "Do you know that Harold’s one of the geniuses among the Yates family's younger generation? They have high hopes for him! You're not only carrying the blame for the Lawrence family, but you heavily injured him too. The Yates will definitely not let this slide. It'll be great if you remain in Lawrence Manor or Lawrence Fort. Otherwise, they might find a chance to let you face the crazy music."Caspi
Caspian pondered for a moment before asking, "Fabian, how long does it take for us to reach Lawrence Fort from Greenfield?"Fabian answered, "It'll take us about two hours by horse." "Alright," Caspian nodded, "well, I only have a question. What must I achieve to enter the gateway of immortality?"Fabian was shocked when he heard Caspian's words. Then, he glanced at their surroundings to make sure that no one could eavesdrop on them before whispering, "I only found out about this from others, and I didn't even tell Lucas. So, you mustn't tell anyone about this.""Sure," Caspian nodded, "I promise you."After licking his lips, Fabian whispered again, "As far as I know, Lady Jessica's Pure Jade Physique caught the Dark Moon Sect's attention, and they've agreed to let her in. Besides this, the Dark Moon Sect is giving out another place, but —"After a pause, Fabian continued, "The place is reserved for the whole Greenfield.""So besides Jessica, they're only reserving a spot for t
"There are so many martial art skills!" Caspian was stupefied.As he remembered, only three sets of martial art skills were passed down by Salleria's royal family. However, if each wooden grid had one set of martial art skills, there would be about a hundred here. That number was shocking."Of course not!" Fabian laughed, "there are thirty-seven types of martial arts skills kept in the Lawrence family. The rest of them are just library collections. Nonetheless, they are also collected by the Lawrences.""Thirty-seven is a lot." Caspian thought.As he had ample time, Caspian was not in a hurry to choose, and he had just finished wandering this floor.Just as Fabian said, there were only 37 martial arts skills placed in the wooden grids, and each grid stored one type. There were even explanatory notes at the side on what type of martial arts skill it was, its origin, and so on.The rest of the wooden grids were filled with collections of books. Since each grid could not have one bo
"Alright. I know it," Caspian smiled, "my status in the Lawrence family's son-in-law isn’t set in stone yet. Even if I want to further myself in this area, I don't have the resources. Fabian, don't worry about it. I'm just asking because of curiosity. Let's get downstairs and pick a skill. After that, we can go home.""Sure." Seeing that Caspian was not interested to be an inscriber anymore, Fabian felt relieved.When they reached downstairs, Caspian appeared indifferent as he asked, "Speaking on inscriber… Since they invested so much in their research, I bet the incomes they earn after would be astonishing too."Knowing that Caspian could not go down the inscriber’s path, Fabian did not think much and directly nodded. "Of course! The more famous the inscriber master is, the higher his commission for one inscription is. Moreover, no matter how much profit he's earning, it'll still be considered little. However, one must be an inscriber master for that to happen. If it's impossible,
