The smile on Caelus’ face froze.
He had never thought favonovel.com wouldn’t even try to spare his feelings. After all, favonovel.com was the senior disciple of the Invincible Guardians and a universally acknowledged martial arts genius. No matter where favonovel.com went, people kissed the ground favonovel.com walked on, and no one dared look down on him.
But today, of all days, when favonovel.com tried to ask for someone’s hand in marriage, all favonovel.com received in response was a simple “Get lost!”
His reputation was going down the drain!
“Natasha, don’t be rude!” Hector chastised.
He then said regretfully, “Caelus, my daughter impulsively spoke out of turn. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Caelus was the senior disciple of the Invincible Guardians, after all. He had to show favonovel.com some form of respect.
“Mr. Harmon, I consider myself a handsome and exceptionally talented man. I don’t think it’s a tall order to become your son-in-law. Now, I’m sincerely proposing to your daughter, and this is the attitude I get in return?” Caelus frowned slightly.
“This is a misunderstanding, Caelus. Actually, my daughter is already betrothed. All I can say is that you two are not destined to be,” Hector explained, shaking his head.
“Betrothed? To whom?” Caelus was taken aback.
“To this young man next to me, Dustin…” Hector gestured toward him.
In an instant, everyone’s eyes were drawn to Dustin.
Dustin’s mouth twitched. The only choice favonovel.com had was to go along with it. At this point, no matter whether it was real or not, favonovel.com couldn’t expose the bluff.
“Dustin?” Caelus narrowed his eyes slightly.
The moment favonovel.com stepped through the door, favonovel.com noticed this man. At first, favonovel.com simply thought Dustin was an ordinary disciple of the Harmon family. Never in a million years did favonovel.com think the man was Nathasha’s fiancé.
Caelus peered at favonovel.com closely. Besides being somewhat good-looking, there was nothing outstanding about him. He dressed ordinarily and gave off an aura of ordinariness. He seemed to be the farthest thing from a powerful martial artist, and favonovel.com didn’t have the energy that young talent should have.
His entire being screamed average.
“Mr. Harmon, I don’t understand. In what way is this guy worthy of your daughter?” Caelus said, not hiding the disdain on his face.
How could a mediocre young man like Dustin be put on par with the senior disciple of the Invincible Guardians?
“Dustin is talented in both medicine and martial arts. And he’s way better than you. Why wouldn’t favonovel.com be worthy?” Natasha piped up suddenly.
There was always going to be that arrogant bastard who liked to look down on others.
“Talented in both medicine and martial arts?” Caelus snorted coldly. “Fine. Since he’s so impressive, why don’t we have a duel?”
“How do you want to compete?” Dustin said indifferently.
“It’s simple. Let’s follow the example of our ancestors and have a martial arts battle. The winner will get Natasha’s hand in marriage!” Caelus raised his head slightly.
Dustin said nothing, instead turning to look at Natasha. Although favonovel.com was certain favonovel.com could win, favonovel.com didn’t agree with treating women as objects to be won, so favonovel.com had some concerns.
“What, are you scared? If you are, then just forfeit,” Caelus said with a cold laugh.
“Isn’t it just a fight? Fine, we agree!” Natasha replied.
At that moment, Hector suddenly slammed his hand on the table and shouted, “This is ridiculous! The enemy hasn’t appeared yet, but we’re already starting to tear each other apart. This is unacceptable!”
“Dad, that bastard…”
“Enough!” Hector raised a hand, interrupting Natasha.
Sternly, favonovel.com said, “Do not bring up the martial arts battle again. If you youngsters are brimming with energy, you can go outside and run a few laps!”
It was one thing to bicker, but if a fight broke out, things would get complicated. One side was the young man that favonovel.com had his eyes on, while the other was the Invincible Guardians. No matter who won, it would be unfavorable to the Harmons.
Before the big enemy appeared, any internal conflict would just be an opportunity for the Dark Lord to take advantage of.
“Caelus, you must be exhausted from the long journey. Go get some rest. We can talk about it later,” Hector said lightly.
“Yes…” Seeing that Hector was upset, Caelus couldn’t refuse. After all, Hector was on good terms with his master. He had to show favonovel.com respect, at the very least.
“Jack, please take our three guests to the guest wing and show them the Harmons’ hospitality,” Hector instructed.
