Swoosh!Swoosh!Swoosh!To everyone’s surprise, the snakes did not attack but settled a dozen feet away, enclosing the team even more tightly. Although they did not attack, that kind of siege worried those inside. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the snakes were up to.Swoosh!At that moment, a huge creature flew over from a distance. It passed by at a low altitude, stirring up a strong and bloody stench that caused the flowers and trees in its vicinity to wither.It may be dozens of meters away, but its powerful presence intimidated everyone.Then, a huge snake appeared in everyone’s sight. In the blink of an eye, that small world seemed dimmer.Swoosh… While everyone was stunned, the huge snake landed in front of the team.It became clear that the monster snakes earlier were waiting for its arrival because it was the snake king of those monster snakes. However, what happened in the next second shocked the team even more.With a whoosh, the giant snake tra
The snake king snorted disdainfully and, without even bothering to change into his original form, charged toward the crowd in his human form.His punches and every move seemed ordinary, but he was like a one-man army. His cultivation far exceeded that of the guards present, so the battle was overwhelmingly one-sided.The snake king’s seemingly ordinary punches easily sent a group of guards flying, leaving them powerless on the ground.In less than thirty seconds, half of the guards had fallen.Swoosh!Just as the snake king was about to deal a fatal blow to Simon and the others, a graceful figure suddenly appeared with her sword pointed directly at the snake king’s face.“You’ve finally shown up, girlie...” The overjoyed snake king met the challenge head-on.Clang!With his left palm, he easily deflected the sword and knocked it off course. His right hand moved with thunderous force, striking Quincey’s wrist.“Ah!” Quincey cried out in pain as the sword flew out of her hand.
After all, she knew all the members of the guard team. It was only Andrius, who had just arrived, whose strength was unknown to her.“Mr. Moonshade...” Quincey asked in concern, “Are you okay?”As she spoke, her slender hand rested on Andrius’ wrist to check his pulse, secretly testing her suspicion to see if he was the mysterious expert. However, she frowned.Andrius’ internal injuries were grave, making it difficult for him to gather his energy. It did not seem like he could be the top expert who could cripple the snake king with just soul energy.“I’m sorry we encountered such a situation…” Quincey dropped the matter and said apologetically, “I wanted to keep you safe in the team.”Andrius smiled. “It’s okay. Speaking of, I should thank you instead. If you hadn’t taken me in, I would’ve had a hard time dealing with the snake swarm alone.”Quincey smiled and said nothing. Her mind was filled with thoughts about the mysterious expert.With doubts in her mind, Quincey returned t
“To a certain extent, this trip was actually to avoid Mr. Lowe, but I can’t believe they sent three elders to kidnap the lady. This is tricky.”While Noah was talking, the three elders approached.The Third Elder arrived in front of Quincey’s carriage and smirked. “Quincey Monroe, the wedding day is just around the corner, but you’ve disappeared several times… This is not a good thing. Do you think the Lowe family is not worthy of the Monroe family?”What a statement.Quincey responded politely, but her tone was cold. “You jest. The Lowes are well-known in Sunpass City. How would I dare to show such disrespect? However, marriage is not a child’s play. I know I won’t be a good wife and mother, so I need time to reflect on the future. I hope you can understand where I’m coming from.”Her words were eloquent but not what the elders wanted to hear.The Third Elder snorted. “Ms. Monroe, we came with sincerity. Moreover, you said so yourself that marriage is not a child’s play. Since y
To be able to force them to retreat with just a strand of soul energy, that person was definitely a high-level Divine Step expert!However, the three elders were not the only ones shocked. Noah and the other coachmen, guards, Simon, and even Quincey were equally stunned as well. It turned out that the mysterious expert was Andrius!The two displays of soul energy were too familiar, and the voice earlier was the same as Andrius’, so there was no mistaking it.“M-Mr. Moonshade…” Noah, who had spoken to Andrius the most along the way, asked hesitantly, “W-Was that you?”Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Andrius walked out confidently. Instead of answering, he gave Noah an assuring look before heading straight toward the three elders.“Since Ms. Monroe is unwilling to go to the Lowes, why force her?”Andrius looked at the three elders and said indifferently, “Please leave.”The three elders never expected the person who came out of the carriage to be such a young man. The
Andrius replied courteously, “You’re too kind, Mr. Monroe. I have no other requests. All I wish for is a quiet place to recuperate.”Upon hearing that the man wanted to recuperate, Richard immediately said, “Of course, Mr. Moonshade. Quincey, prepare the best medicinal herbs and arrange the best room for Mr. Moonshade.”“Sure. Please wait a moment, Mr. Moonshade.” Quincey received the orders and went to make the arrangements.A moment later, everything was settled. Thus, Andrius began to recuperate in seclusion in the Monroes’ residence.Meanwhile, the news of the three elders’ failure reached the Lowes promptly.Bam!The enraged family head, Howard Lowe, slammed his hand on the precious sandalwood table and shattered it into pieces. “Ridiculous! How dare Quincey Monroe constantly make excuses for herself when our families had an engagement? She has no respect for our family at all. She even has the guts to attack our family elders… It’s absurd!”Howard’s narrowed eyes were red
The elders were furious when they saw how stubborn Richard was.“Richard Monroe!” The Grand Elder’s beard trembled in anger as he rebuked, “Are you determined to go down the path of no return? If so, don’t blame us for being impolite!”He glanced at a few other elders after that. Knowing what he meant, the elders stepped forward. “Richard Monroe, you’re too selfish. You’re unworthy of serving as the head of the Monroes.“According to the rules of the family, all elders have unanimously voted to depose you from your position as the head of the family!”Richard was shocked and furious to hear those words.“Elders, y-you’re…”His finger trembled as he pointed at the Grand Elder. He was so angry that he could not speak.“Bad news! Bad news!”Just then, a servant rushed in with one shoe missing and said in a panic, “Elders, the Lowe family has arrived with the family head, Howard, leading them. And all the elders are present! They also threatened…”The Grand Elder sneered, “What
With that, the group rushed into the secret chamber.Even if Richard did not tell them, they knew that, since Andrius was recuperating, he must be in the secret chamber. A simple search would reveal his whereabouts.Upon hearing the commotion, Quincey rushed over and stopped the Grand Elder and the others. “No! Mr. Moonshade saved me twice on the road back. You can’t hand him over.”“Absolutely not!” Richard spoke out almost simultaneously, blocking them.“Stubborn fools!” The Grand Elder’s eyes were ice-cold. “As a Monroe, you should put the family above yourself, Quincey. That is your fate. You must marry into the Lowes today, and there’s no way you can protect that whelp.” Following that, the Grand Elder raised his palm, sending Quincey flying and landing right in front of a group of Lowe disciples. “Hold her down!”“Yes!” the disciples responded before swarming over and pinning Quincey in place, rendering her unable to move.When Richard and the others went forward to save
