Semua Bab An Understated Dominance: Bab 661 - Bab 670

"How do you plan to deal with this, Mr. Harmon?" Dustin asked."Since the Dark Lord is drawing near, I'll have to make arrangements in advance. Just to be prepared, I'll spare no expense to hire skilled martial artists to guard the house," Hector declared in all seriousness.Not only was the Dark Lord exceptionally skilled in martial art, but he was also accomplished in the mystic arts. The Harmon family's shadow guards alone were no match for him, so he would need to hire backup. Not only will this strengthen their forces, but it would also minimize potential losses for the Harmons. "Mr. Harmon, the Dark Lord will not act alone. He has many disciples, and each one of them possesses remarkable skills. You will have to consider that too," Dustin reminded."Yes, I'll take note of that. The Harmon family will be under strict security measures for the next few days to prevent any unwanted visitors." Hector nodded."Dad, I remember Grandfather saying that we have a trump card. What is

"The sole survivor?" Dustin and Natasha exchanged a look of surprise. It was truly astonishing to them that the Dark Lord was also a Harmon! And not only that, but one from the same ancestry! No wonder he knew so many of their secrets. "The three branches stemmed from the same ancestry, but due to the Dark Lord's selfishness, he went so far as to harm his kinsmen. How inhumane!" Natasha slammed her hand on the table out of frustration. She was even more irked after learning about the truth. She could have been more understanding if their current predicament had been caused by some deep grudge between both parties, but to think it was all because of a treasure map? The Dark Lord actually assassinated members of the Harmon family for so many years, all for a mere map? He was extremely deranged!"Men's greed is endless. The temptation of the treasure is immense, and the Dark Lord will never back off till he gets his hands on them," Hector said."One of the three branches has already d

"Get lost!" Natasha's answer was simple and direct.The smile on Caelus' face froze. He had never thought she wouldn't even try to spare his feelings. After all, he was the senior disciple of the Invincible Guardians and a universally acknowledged martial arts genius. No matter where he went, people kissed the ground he walked on, and no one dared look down on him. But today, of all days, when he tried to ask for someone's hand in marriage, all he 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 him 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 thi

"A fight?" Upon hearing that, Hector got to his feet. "Is the Dark Lord here?""Perfect timing! Everyone, come with me to kill the enemy!" Dylan shouted with vigor."Kill!"The Harmon family members all slammed the table in front of them and hopped to their feet, aggression rolling off of them."You've got it wrong!" The Harmon family guard quickly explained, "It's not the Dark Lord; it's the martial artists we invited. They got into a conflict and are now fighting in the ballroom.""Huh?" When everyone heard that, they frowned. They had all thought that the great enemy had descended on them, but it turned out to be an internal fight amongst their own. All their excitement and vigor had been for nothing.What a waste of emotion."Come, let's go take a look!" Without another word, Hector led everyone out of the conference room. If internal conflicts were not handled properly, it could very likely end in greater disaster.At present, the Harmon family home's ballroom was filled

"The White Stag Trio? Heh, you're nothing but clowns," the bearded man said disdainfully. He kicked the three of them and sent them flying. "Huh?" All the martial artists were shocked to see the three of them severely hurt and coughing up blood. Although they weren't exactly top dogs, they were still well-known in the martial world. Otherwise, the Harmons wouldn't have invited them.However, even with the three's combined forces, they couldn't withstand a few moves from the bearded man. It was far from anyone's expectation. This clearly proved how powerful he was."Just who are you?" The White Stag Trio were both surprised and afraid."Listen up, I am the Glenstead Hoodlum, Marlon Cobb!" the bearded man said arrogantly."Marlon the Hoodlum?!" Everyone was shocked to hear that, especially the White Stag Trio.Marlon was a divine-level martial artist. He was extremely well-reputed in Glenstead. Because of his strength and ruthlessness, he gained the nickname "Hoodlum." Peopl
