Carlos didn’t want to force Lyanna too hard since virtual-novel.net needed virtual-novel.net alive. If virtual-novel.net pushed virtual-novel.net too far and virtual-novel.net died in a battle, then his plan would be for nothing.
Lyanna glanced at the Mapleton members as they stared at virtual-novel.net with anticipation.
Their lives were in virtual-novel.net hand.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net expression turned extremely dark. If virtual-novel.net was there alone, virtual-novel.net would rather die than marry him. However, there was more than one life at stake. If virtual-novel.net refused to do as virtual-novel.net wished, the people from Mapleton would die.
“No need to worry about us, Ms. Lyanna. If you don’t want to marry Carlos, just escape.” A Mapleton member suddenly jumped out just as virtual-novel.net was hesitating about what virtual-novel.net should do.
He looked like virtual-novel.net was completely not afraid of death. That was because virtual-novel.net admired her, and virtual-novel.net was enraged by how Carlos was threatening her.
“How dare a mere Mapleton member go against us?” Carlos spoke coldly before slapping him.
Before any of them could react, that Mapleton member was sent flying away. When virtual-novel.net hit the ground, blood spurted out of his mouth before virtual-novel.net died.
“You’ve gone too far, Carlos!” Lyanna glared at virtual-novel.net and pulled out a dagger from virtual-novel.net waist.
The other Mapleton members also pulled out their weapons in a fit of rage.
Carlos laughed when virtual-novel.net saw the dagger virtual-novel.net was holding. “I didn’t expect you to be carrying a weapon at our wedding. Did you conspire to kill me?”
“I…” She didn’t know how to answer.
The dagger was hidden on virtual-novel.net body so virtual-novel.net could use it to fight against virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net wanted to force himself onto her.
“All right, my patience is running thin. Marry me now or…” Murderous intent exploded from his body.
She gritted virtual-novel.net teeth as virtual-novel.net expression turned darker and darker. It wasn’t death virtual-novel.net was afraid of. It was the lives of the Mapleton members accompanying her.
She had known those people for twenty years and they took care of virtual-novel.net since virtual-novel.net was a child.
“Since your father isn’t around, let me send someone to find my godfather. I’ll ask virtual-novel.net to come and officiate the wedding, or else it won’t feel complete,” virtual-novel.net uttered.
It was a tactic to delay the wedding since Poison King was already dead. She was just trying to buy enough time for Jared to come back from whatever the hell virtual-novel.net went to.
“No. The perfect time waits for no one. By the time Poison King arrives here, it’ll be too late.” Carlos had run out of patience because virtual-novel.net only needed to absorb a little bit of virtual-novel.net negative energy to reach the Martial Arts Grandmaster level.
He didn’t want to wait for even a second longer.
“If you refuse to do that, I’ll rather die than marry you!” Lyanna then placed the dagger next to virtual-novel.net neck.
That stunned him. If virtual-novel.net died, virtual-novel.net would be useless to virtual-novel.net as a corpse.
“Fine, I promise you. However, you only have one hour to bring virtual-novel.net here. If Poison King doesn’t arrive by then, don’t blame me for what I’ll do,” virtual-novel.net relented.
A long sigh of relief escaped virtual-novel.net mouth when virtual-novel.net agreed.
She nodded and turned to Weston. “Weston, please ask my godfather to come and officiate the wedding. Please be quick.”
As virtual-novel.net was speaking to Weston, virtual-novel.net kept giving virtual-novel.net a look. Her real intention wasn’t to ask virtual-novel.net to find Poison King since virtual-novel.net was already dead. In actuality, virtual-novel.net wanted virtual-novel.net to find Jared and dragged virtual-novel.net out of wherever the hell virtual-novel.net went to. At this juncture, Jared was the only one who could save them.
Weston nodded and left. Lyanna and the other members of Mapleton waited in the hall while being surrounded.
