As expected of the number one bombshell on the Beauty Ranking!
“Maria Dunham, second disciple of the Invisible Guardians, at your service, Mr. Harmon!”
“Ivy Dennis, third disciple of the Invisible Guardians, at your service, Mr. Harmon!”
The two girls in white also introduced themselves.
“Alright, alright. You’ve all come at the right time. Come have some tea.” Hector smiled gently, motioning for Jack to serve the tea and pastries.
“Mr. Harmon, we heard you’re in trouble, so we’re here on our master’s orders to lend a hand. If you need anything, just let us know. We promise to help you handle it with ease!” Caleus said confidently.
“The three of you must be exhausted from such a long journey. Please get some rest first. We can discuss this tomorrow. Oh, by the way, why haven’t I seen your master?” Hector asked, changing the subject.
Just three disciples from the Invincible Guardians were obviously not enough. It was best if a few elders or even the leader stepped in..
“Don’t worry, Mr. Harmon. My master and his colleague will be here in two days,” Caelus replied. “Great.” Hector secretly let out a breath he had been holding.
“Actually, something small like this doesn’t even require my master and his colleague to step in. No matter what it is, I can slay it with just one slash!” Caelus shrugged, and a longsword immediately appeared on his back. He grabbed it with one hand, gripped the hilt, and slashed down on a chair about ten feet away.
The sword glinted, and the wooden chair split into several pieces.
“Amazing swordsmanship, Caelus!” Maria and Ivy said in unison, gasping in shock. The external manifestation of true energy was a sign of a divine-level martial artist. To be able to cast such a quick and fierce aura in his early thirties was truly no small feat.
“Mr. Harmon, what do you think of my sword?” Caelus smiled slightly with a hint of pride. As he spoke, he even snuck a glance at Natasha as if to say, “Did you see how cool I was?”
“Not bad. You have accomplished a lot at a young age, surpassing your peers. You even outdo your master when he was your age,” Hector said, nodding with a smile.
“Heh, so long as I’m here, nothing will dare come close to the Harmon family,” Caelus boasted. As the most senior disciple of the Invincible Guardians and the future successor to the leader role, he was the cream of the crop among the youths in Glenstead in terms of both talent and skills.
“With the Invincible Guardians here, I definitely feel more at ease.” Hector smiled:
“Mr. Harmon, actually, there’s another reason I came today,” Caelus said, moving to a different topic.
“Oh? What is it?” Hector’s smile didn’t waver.
“I heard that you have two daughters as beautiful as the flowers blooming outside, Mr. Harmon, and they are yet to be married. Thus, I wanted to ask for your daughter’s hand in marriage!” Caelus didn’t beat around the bush.
The moment those words left his mouth, Hector and the two others were stunned. They had invited the Invincible Guardians to go against the Dark Lord, so how did the topic turn to marriage?
“Caelus, I think it’s too sudden to be talking about marriage, considering how we just met,” Hector said.
“You and my master are old friends. We should be strengthening our ties. If that means marriage, I would be open to it.” Caelus laughed.
“Caelus, is this your idea or your master’s?” Hector asked.
“My master will fully support my decision. So long as you give your nod of approval, Mr. Hector, this is a done deal,” Caelus said, brimming with confidence.
“Well…” Hector hesitated.
“What’s the matter? Could it be that you look down on me, Mr. Harmon? You don’t think I’m worthy of becoming your son-in-law?” Caelus narrowed his gaze. With his status, he more than deserved to marry the daughter of a wealthy family.
Not to mention, if he simply gave the word, countless excellent girls would come looking for him. “It’s not like that at all, Caelus. It’s just rather sudden. I’d have to ask my daughters’ opinions,” Hector said, trying to avoid giving an answer.
“There’s no need for such trouble. I’ll ask her myself.” Caelus turned around, his eyes blazing, and said, “Ms. Natasha, I’ve heard so much about you. The moment I saw you today, my heart fell for you. Will you marry me?”
Natasha was first caught off guard. Then, she coldly spat out, “Get lost!”
