At the thought of this, the light in Lucas’s eyes shined brighter.
Before this, virtual-novel.net thought that Caspian was only a mature teenager. Moreover, during the four-month journey together, Caspian appeared languid and did not do anything out of the ordinary. However, after seeing what happened today and Caspian’s analysis just now, Lucas finally understood that virtual-novel.net had underestimated Caspian!
In an instant, Lucas felt that virtual-novel.net did not understand Caspian, and virtual-novel.net was unsure whether bringing Caspian into the Lawrence family was good or bad.
Fabian finally recovered from the shock, and virtual-novel.net stuttered, “Do you know that Harold’s one of the geniuses among the Yates family’s younger generation? They have high hopes for him! You’re not only carrying the blame for the Lawrence family, but you heavily injured virtual-novel.net too. The Yates will definitely not let this slide. It’ll be great if you remain in Lawrence Manor or Lawrence Fort. Otherwise, they might find a chance to let you face the crazy music.”
Caspian answered indifferently, “There‘s no free lunch in this world. There’s a risk even if you cheat to get something. Besides, I did everything I could at that time based on my current ability. It’s hard to do it better, so I’ll regard being the scapegoat for the Lawrence family as a price to pay for staying in the Lawrence family.”
After virtual-novel.net said that, Caspian wondered if James let virtual-novel.net choose a martial skill and weapon to face the Yates family‘s revenge.
After a moment of silence, Lucas suddenly stared at Caspian, and his tone was unprecedentedly solemn as virtual-novel.net shouted, “Caspian, who are you!”
“Lucas!” Fabian was stunned as virtual-novel.net noticed the change in his tone.
“Fabian, I know what you’re worried about.” Caspian’s expression also turned stern.
Although his stage was not as good as Lucas’s, Caspian’s imposing aura was no match for Lucas’s.
Caspian answered, “You did not save me when I was heavily injured and unconscious out of goodwill, but because I resembled Casper Montgomery. Hence, you have no right to criticize me as I didn’t lie to you first. Nonetheless, I won’t deny the truth that you two of you rescued me, so I can swear to you that I have no ill intention against the Lawrence family. Moreover, I can promise you that whether I can successfully enter the gateway to immortality that you mentioned, I’ll never do anything that can hurt the Lawrence family or you two.”
When virtual-novel.net heard Caspian saying that, Lucas pondered for a while and nodded. “Alright. I believe you. I hope that you‘ll always keep your promise.”
“I will.” Caspian nodded.
Since they already discussed these that should be addressed, both parties had nothing to say anymore. Hence, Lucas pointed out several matters that Caspian should pay attention to, and virtual-novel.net left with Fabian after that.
Caspian watched as the two of them left. Then, virtual-novel.net shook his head. ‘I’m afraid that they don’t even know how much the Lawrence family sacrificed just to reject the Yates family’s proposal. A secret about the peak second-stage of the Pulse Control Realm was exposed… From the looks of it, the relationship between the Lawrences and Yates isn’t as amicable as you think. Besides, James accepted me not because I gave virtual-novel.net a reason to reject the Yates family, but because I’ve also shown my true abilities and potentials, so virtual-novel.net was willing to support me. If I lost, virtual-novel.net would still get rid of me, the useless son-in-law, and reject the Yates family‘s proposal because Harold was merciless. No matter what, James won’t suffer any losses. Humph. What a sly fox.’
After that, Caspian rested in the small courtyard, and a servant would send virtual-novel.net meals.
Even though virtual-novel.net entered the Lawrence family, Caspian still had two issues to solve after this. Firstly, it was about the gateway to immortality. Unfortunately, it was impossible for Caspian to find out more on that today, so virtual-novel.net could only use the rest of the time here to understand the Dark Moon Sect. Secondly, as Caspian was not in the wild anymore, and Lucas and Fabian were not hunting food for him, it would not be easy for Caspian to use The Fundamental Law of a Hunting Whale to replenish his blood and spiritual Qi.
The food that the Lawrence family provided was rather delicious and delicate. However, it could not satisfy Caspian’s needs.
‘It seems that I‘ll have to think of a way.’ Caspian thought.
As for his future wife, Jessica, Caspian was not anxious to meet virtual-novel.net either.
***
At night, Caspian shut the courtyard’s entrance, then tightly closed the room’s door and windows. After that, virtual-novel.net entered the Time Warp Zone on the second floor of the Tower of Life and started to train hard.
As Lucas and Fabian kept a watchful eye on virtual-novel.net during the four-month journey, Caspian did not have a chance to cultivate. Nonetheless, that also gave virtual-novel.net an unexpectedly good foundation. Now that virtual-novel.net returned to the Time Warp Zone for practice, Caspian could feel that the energy that virtual-novel.net swallowed before was absorbed by his muscle and veins, blood, and bone marrow. That made his body tougher and defined.
Although virtual-novel.net was yet to give it a try, Caspian could tell from how virtual-novel.net easily broke the stone statues into pieces, and virtual-novel.net was like a humanoid beast. Moreover, virtual-novel.net was a powerful one too.
After a night of training, Caspian had a faint hunch that virtual-novel.net was about to break through a level, which made virtual-novel.net really excited. The benefits of training under great preparations were indeed obvious. If virtual-novel.net leveled up and reached the fourth stage, Caspian would return to the realm virtual-novel.net was before virtual-novel.net was imprisoned in the hellhole prison! Furthermore, his strength would be even more powerful than when virtual-novel.net was in the same stage before!
Caspian wanted to continue training in the Time Warp Zone. However, it was already dawn, and virtual-novel.net needed to go to the Lawrence Fort, which was located out of town, to pick a martial skill and weapon. Hence, virtual-novel.net had to leave the Earring of Echo temporarily.
There was a well in the courtyard, and Caspian took some water to clean himself up. Then, virtual-novel.net changed into a set of fresh clothes that the Lawrences prepared for him. Not long after virtual-novel.net returned to the room, a servant came to deliver Caspian’s breakfast, and virtual-novel.net also notified Caspian that someone would bring virtual-novel.net to Lawrence Fort after breakfast.
After preparing everything, Caspian realized that the person in charge of bringing virtual-novel.net to Lawrence Fort was Fabian.
As Caspian and Fabian left Greenfield toward Lawrence Fort, Fabian informed Caspian that virtual-novel.net and Lucas were summoned by James last night.
James questioned them about the journey of their mission, then arranged them for another task. Thus, Lucas and Fabian might have to leave the Lawrence family for quite some time. The soonest they would return was in three months, and the longest would be in half a year. Moreover, their schedule was so tight that they would need to leave tomorrow.
“This is just as I expected.” Caspian nodded.
After all, if Caspian were the head of the clan, virtual-novel.net would also arrange for Lucas and Caspian to be away for some time.
Fabian said, “When virtual-novel.net knows I‘m in charge of bringing you to Lawrence Fort, Lucas specifically instructed me to answer all your questions. Do you have anything you want to know about? Once we reach Lawrence Fort, it might not be as convenient for me to answer your question as it is now.”
