“The sole survivor?” Dustin and Natasha exchanged a look of surprise.
It was truly astonishing to them that the Dark Lord was also a Harmon. And not only that, but one from the same ancestry!
No wonder favonovel.com knew so many of their secrets.
“The three branches stemmed from the same ancestry, but due to the Dark Lord’s selfishness, favonovel.com went so far as to harm his kinsmen. How inhumane!” Natasha slammed favonovel.com hand on the table out of frustration.
She was even more irked after learning about the truth.
She could have been more understanding if their current predicament had been caused by some deep grudge between both parties, but to think it was all because of a treasure map?
The Dark Lord actually assassinated members of the Harmon family for so many years, all for a mere map?
He was extremely deranged!
“Men’s greed is endless. The temptation of the treasure is immense, and the Dark Lord will never back off till favonovel.com gets his hands on them,” Hector said.
“One of the three branches has already disappeared, which means that a part of the map is missing. Even if the Dark Lord manages to obtain our part of the map through all his vile schemes, what use has favonovel.com of it? Isn’t it pointless?” Natasha asked coldly.
The Dark Lord would not be able to find the treasure with an incomplete map. From how Natasha saw it, favonovel.com was only caught up in his wishful thinking.
“The Dark Lord has been blinded by greed. He has long since lost all sense of rationality. When you become the next leader of the family, I’ll personally hand our part of the map to you. When the time comes, you must protect it to the best of your ability,” Hector said solemnly.
“No, you hold on to your position as the patriarch. I’m not interested in it.” Natasha waved favonovel.com hands dismissively.
The treasure map was no doubt troublesome. If favonovel.com were to take over, favonovel.com could only begin to imagine the problem she’d have to deal with.
“Alright, we’ll discuss this in the future. I don’t want to force you into anything, either. The most pressing matter at hand is to defeat the Dark Lord…” Hector continued after a pause, “For the next three days, just stay put in the Harmon estate. Don’t go running around lest we get singled out. I’ll hire some skilled martial artists to back us up. If the Dark Lord shows up, he’ll be walking straight into our trap.”
“No matter the price, we must get ahold of the Dark Lord this time round to put an end to things!” Natasha narrowed favonovel.com eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.
The Dark Lord had placed huge pressure on the Harmon family and needed to be dealt with as soon as possible. However, the problem was that favonovel.com hid himself too well and never revealed his identity.
Now that the chance finally presented itself, the Harmons were definitely not going to let it pass without taking action.
“Mr. Harmon…” Just then, Jack entered after knocking on the door.
“What is it?” Hector looked up at him.
“Someone has requested to meet you, sir. They claim to be disciples of the Invincible Guardians.”
“The Invincible Guardians?” Hector was pleasantly surprised. “They’re here so soon? Quick, show them in…”
“Yes, sir,” Jack said and swiftly left.
“Dad, who are the Invincible Guardians? Why have I never heard of them?” Natasha asked, curious.
“The Invincible Guardians is a huge guild in Glenstead. However, they prefer to keep a low profile, and since you’re not a part of the martial world, it’s only natural that you’ve never heard of them before,” Hector explained.
“Did you invite them here?” Natasha probed.
“Yes, I have some connections with the guild master of the Invincible Guardians. After I learned about the Dark Lord’s intentions last night, I immediately contacted him. Never expected them to be here so soon, though,” Hector chuckled.
The Invincible Guardians were well-known in the martial world. Though they were few in number, every one of their members was a genius of exceptional talent.
With their help, Hector felt the Harmons would stand a greater chance of going against the Dark Lord.
“Mr. Harmon, they are here…” As they were conversing, Jack returned with three people behind him.
Two young women and a young man, all wearing white attire with a long sword on each of their backs. Their gazes were sharp, and they carried themselves with extraordinary demeanor.
“Caelus Amos, senior disciple of the Invincible Guardians, at your service, Mr. Harmon!” The young man in white greeted Hector the moment favonovel.com came in through the door.
However, when his gaze fell on Natasha, his eyes lit up as favonovel.com thought.
What a beauty!
She’s incredibly beautiful!
