He couldn’t put the entire Castenada Town in danger, just for his own daughter!
After hearing her father’s words, Judith gritted her teeth and said, “Father, I will deal with Harvey. I’m back now, so we no longer need to fear the Quinlan family.”
Upon hearing that, Lazlo quickly tried to persuade Judith. “Ms. Judith, you mustn’t act recklessly. Harvey has just broken through to the Ultimate Realm, and with someone backing Quinlan Town, their strength has significantly increased. You’re already injured, so you really should be resting properly!”
“Judith, don’t concern yourself with my matters anymore. This is just my fate. But don’t worry; if the Quinlan family takes it too far in the end, I won’t compromise. In truth, during my time away from home, I met a prince from Allardland and we fell in love! If I were truly in danger, I believe he wouldn’t just stand by,” Scarlette confessed.
She was afraid that Judith might get hurt because of her matters, so she quickly spoke up!
“What? You know the prince of Allardland? And you two are in love?”
Owen looked at Scarlette in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Lazlo from the side chimed in, “Mr.
Castenada, although Ms. Scarlette has fallen in love with Prince Cedric from Allardland, King Bernard doesn’t approve of her. When I found Ms. Scarlette, she was on the brink of being driven out of Allardland!”
Upon hearing this, Owen’s previously excited expression instantly fell.
“Mr. Lazlo, didn’t Mr. Chance tell you? King Bernard has finally agreed, and Cedric is also looking everywhere for me,” Scarlette quickly said.
“Ms. Scarlette, those are just Mr. Chance’s words. Who knows if they’re true or not? Let’s first trick Harvey into leaving, shall we? If he insists on sticking around our Castenada Town, that’s going to be a real hassle. Who knows how many young and married women in our town will suffer!” Lazlo exclaimed.
“Right, we must first trick Harvey away…” Owen said.
“Judith, please don’t go out there! Let me handle this situation myself!” Scarlette urged Judith, then followed Lazlo and Owen out.
When they arrived at the hall, there was Harvey, already seated. Behind him were two Eighth Level Tribulator cultivators.
Moreover, Harvey himself was subtly exuding a certain aura, the aura of an Ultimate Realm
cultivator!
This was clearly a show-off, designed to put some pressure on the Castenada family!
The moment Harvey laid his eyes on Scarlette, they lit up. He promptly stood up, a lecherous grin spreading across his face. “Lettie, do you have any idea how much I’ve missed you all this time? If it weren’t for my debilitating longing for you, my strength might have been greater by now. Unfortunately, I’ve only just managed to
break through to the Ultimate Realm…”
Harvey intentionally put emphasis on the words “the Ultimate Realm.”
Scarlette merely gave Harvey a cold glance before completely ignoring him!
Upon seeing the situation, Owen managed to squeeze out a slight smile. He walked up to Harvey and said, “Mr. Harvey, congratulations on advancing to the Ultimate Realm. Truly, you are a giant among men. There aren’t many in our entire eastern region who have achieved the Ultimate Realm.”
Owen was all praises for Harvey. His first priority was to keep the younger man in high spirits. Otherwise, if he were to lose his temper, Owen feared no one in Castenada Town would be able to stand up to him!
Indeed, after hearing Owen’s words, a faint smile appeared on Harvey’s lips. He said, “Mr. Castenada, thank you for your praise. Once I marry Lettie, we will become family. If anyone dares to bully the Castenada family, I, Harvey Quinlan, will be the first to object!”
“Mr. Harvey, seeing as Lettie just returned home, I think it would be best to let her settle her emotions for a few days before discussing your marriage.”
Owen wanted to buy some time.
