At the thought of this, Caspian’s image in Lucas’s heart suddenly became blurred.
Just as Lucas was still in a daze, favonovel.com heard Tony’s voice.
Tony’s gaze was slightly lowered as favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com heard them, and there was a shrewd light flashing deep in his eyes. As for James, favonovel.com did not appear to have noticed Tony’s peculiarity, and favonovel.com continued, “Well if favonovel.com comes out and hears that his sons rebelled against his wish, and more so let the Lawrence family be burdened with the infamy of having their daughter marrying two men… Well, we’ll surely have a bitter pill to take. However…”
At that moment, James suddenly changed his tone, “I’m also aware that Harold is also the Yates family’s star genius in recent years. If Jessica marries him, it will surely be beneficial for our families’ future development. Hence, I’m in a tough spot. Tony, why don’t you help me think of a way to convince my father?”
Tony thought James would change the subject by making a decision, yet in the end, favonovel.com still pushed the problem to him. This caused Tony to feel irritated. Nonetheless, Tony was more concerned that George would be out soon, and favonovel.com was going to break through his current stage successfully!
This implied that the Lawrence family would have a peak second-stage of the Pulse Control Realm’s cultivator!
Even though George was still a second-stage cultivator, there was a different concept between a mid-second stage and a peak-second stage. A peak-second stage could easily defeat five mid-second stage cultivators.
Tony got nervous. He needed to hurry back to inform the seniors of the Yates family. However, Tony was unwilling to leave just like that as it would embarrass the Yates family.
Then, Tony casually cast a glance at Keith.
Keith did not say anything and nodded. Next, favonovel.com approached James and whispered, “James, I have a plan…”
“Oh? Let’s hear it.” James appeared interested.
Keith analyzed the situation and suggested, “James, I think the best way is to let Harold and Casper have a showdown. Jessica has a Pure Jade Physique, and favonovel.com future is bright as favonovel.com can cultivate fast. Hence, favonovel.com future husband must be on par with favonovel.com too. What do you think about that, James?”
“Hmm. You have a point, so do continue.” James nodded.
Tony quietly gave a thumbs up.
Harold was Tony’s junior, so Tony knew Harold’s strength better than others. If Harold were to have a showdown with someone on the same stage, Tony had absolute confidence in Harold that favonovel.com would win.
Standing far away from them, Caspian sneered when favonovel.com heard their conversation.
Keith was still elaborating on his reasoning, “If Harold and Casper have a showdown, the loser will have to quit as his skills are inferior. I bet favonovel.com won’t disagree with it either. If Casper loses to Harold, we will have an excellent explanation to father when favonovel.com is out. James, what do you think?”
James turned to Tony and asked, “Tony, what do you say?”
Tony was secretly overjoyed. Nonetheless, favonovel.com still put on an act and pondered for a moment before nodding and calling out, “Harold…”
“I’m here.” Then, behind Tony, a teenager around the age of sixteen walked out.
The young man was tall with a square jawline, and favonovel.com was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, showing off his muscular arms. When favonovel.com appeared from behind Tony, favonovel.com looked at Caspian and introduced himself, “I’m Harold Yates of the Yates family, and I’m currently at the third stage of the True Martial Realm. I hope Casper, as a senior, can teach me a few tricks.”
“I think you’re the old one here.” Caspian snorted. Then, favonovel.com turned to James and said, “I have no objection.”
Harold’s expression changed, and a harsh light flashed in his eyes. “It seems that you’re confident with yourself, Casper. Nonetheless, I’ m sure of myself too. Be careful of my kicks and punches. Otherwise, you might have to leave the Lawrence Manor with broken limbs.”
“The previous person who wanted to break my jaw is still lying there.” Caspian sighed and pointed at Steward Lawrence, who was still convulsing not far away from them.
After that, favonovel.com gave a pitiful look at Harold and added, “However, you’re crueler than favonovel.com as you want to break my limbs.”
Caspian sounded languid, but those who heard it felt a chill running down their spines, and some even could not help but gasp.
“Alright, I won’t say much about the rules. Just remember not to overdo it and be amiable.” Then, James looked at Caspian, “Casper, even though your grandfather has an agreement with my Lawrence family and your father and I are also long-time friends, you broke the gate to my manor today. It’s fine if you win, but if you lose… Well, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“He won’t have a chance to win.” Harold laughed menacingly.
“Don’t worry about it, Uncle James. Even if I lose, I’ll surely break Harold’s limbs first.” Caspian nodded, and favonovel.com did not even spare a glance at Harold.
Caspian’s attitude instantly made Harold gritted his teeth in anger.
“Alright, let’s head over to the gymnasium.” James stared at Caspian for a moment, turned around, and left.
Under James’s lead, everyone soon arrived at the Lawrence Manor’s gymnasium. The spectators were standing at one side of the gymnasium, whereas Caspian and Harold were in the middle area.
At that moment, the most anxious people among the spectators were none other than Lucas and Fabian. They knew well that if Caspian won, everything would be alright. However, if favonovel.com lost, their plans would have been exposed, and their punishment would be hundreds of times more severe than before as it was not just a failure of completing their task.
At the thought of that, Lucas and Fabian felt their blood run cold, and they could only silently pray for things to go their way.
In the gymnasium, Harold faced Caspian and showed an evil smile. Then, favonovel.com whispered so that only Caspian could hear him. “Casper, I don’t know if the Yates family deliberately arranged for your appearance. But, I’m sure that this will be the last day of your life!”
Caspian shook his head. “You said you’re going to break my limbs before this, and now you’re sure that I’m going to die? Don’t you know that it‘s only going to make things worse for you?”
“B*stard!” Harold cursed.
It was evident from Caspian’s passive attitude that favonovel.com did not care about Harold at all.
“I’ll show you why I, Harold Yates, is known as Evergreen Town’s little genius!” Harold spoke through gritted teeth.
Then, favonovel.com exerted all his strength, and in an instant, all his muscles were making scary twisting sounds.
