That was indeed the situation at the moment. Although James was surprised by Jessica’s realm, virtual-novel.net did not doubt it at all. After all, Jessica managed to block Kevin’s angry blow, and that was the biggest proof.
“Great! Amazing! This is just wonderful!”
Soon, James let go of Jessica’s wrist. He could not help but burst into laughter. Pride was written all over virtual-novel.net face.
“My daughter’s indeed extraordinary!”
Jessica was considered a genius not only in Evergreen Town but the entire Earlington of Efrax as virtual-novel.net was able to ascend into the Pulse Control Realm at sixteen. But, James was still somewhat dubious. He could feel that Jessica’s breathing was not stable yet, which meant Jessica just ascended recently.
If that was the case, why did virtual-novel.net show up and block the blow for Caspian?
At the thought of that, James glanced at Caspian. Nevertheless, Caspian did not pay attention to James at all. Instead, virtual-novel.net looked at Jessica’s back in surprise.
‘She… Is already a Pulse Control Realm cultivator?’
Caspian remembered that when virtual-novel.net was on their way to Evergreen Town. Lucas informed virtual-novel.net that Jessica wanted to achieve the fifth stage of the True Martial Realm, so virtual-novel.net would not be living in the Lawrence Manor for the time being. As soon as Jessica appeared, virtual-novel.net was no longer a warrior but a cultivator instead.
At that moment, Kevin’s expressions kept changing as Jessica’s appearance messed up his plan. Not only that, since virtual-novel.net was a cultivator too, it meant that his plan was destroyed, and there was no way to pick up the pieces anymore.
Everyone around them was looking at Jessica with surprise and admiration. Then, turning his sight at Ashton, whose head was drenched in blood, Kevin suddenly felt the blood surging in his chest, and there was the smell of a sickeningly dry, sweet metallic scent in his throat, which almost made virtual-novel.net vomit.
“James, are you adamant on protecting Casper today!” Kevin was filled with rage, and virtual-novel.net did not even address James as Chief James anymore.
Then, virtual-novel.net turned to Jessica with a burning gaze. “Jessica, you and Casper aren’t married yet. In terms of relationship, Ashton and Keith are closer to you. Hence, you’re now favoring an outsider instead of your family. It seems that you would much rather care about other people’s business than your clan members!”
James was stunned. Kevin ignored and disrespected James as the head of the family. However, before virtual-novel.net could even speak up, Jessica already raised virtual-novel.net head. Then, with an icy gaze, virtual-novel.net looked at Kevin and asked, “Grandpa Kevin, what ifI tell you Casper’s business is mine too?”
Her words once again caused an uproar in the crowd. After all, when a girl said such a thing, it felt unimaginably bold and ambiguous. Not only James, Kevin, and the rest of the Lawrence family members present, but even Caspian also widened his eyes in disbelief. ‘What… What’s virtual-novel.net talking about? We’re innocent, yet she’s already announcing virtual-novel.net ownership of me?’
When Jessica said those words, virtual-novel.net heart beat violently as virtual-novel.net face instantly felt warm. Nevertheless, Jessica remained a firm attitude, especially when virtual-novel.net was the only one who knew that Caspian helped virtual-novel.net tremendously. Hence, just for that reason itself, Jessica would not let Kevin break the rules and hurt Caspian. Nonetheless, there were still other emotions and factors involved, but even Jessica could not explain it for now.
After arguing with Jessica back and forth, Kevin’s face turned pale to red, red to livid. Anger and resentment surged in his eyes, just like boiling magma.
“You’re a bunch of traitors…” Kevin yelled angrily, and virtual-novel.net emitted a murderous aura.
James’s expression turned stern, and virtual-novel.net immediately took a step forward, protecting Caspian and Jessica behind him. He could feel that Kevin was going to kill. Besides, as the head of the clan and as a father, how could James be in a good mood with Kevin’s behavior today?
Suddenly, a loud voice rang from behind the crowd. “Kevin, you should be mindful of your words!”
“Who dares to criticize me?!” Kevin screamed in rage and turned in the direction of the voice.
Everyone also turned their gaze over, and they immediately saw a thin and tall silhouette standing on the fence in the distance. However, the person wore a big hat No one could tell what virtual-novel.net looked like, but judging from the sound, virtual-novel.net was a man. No one in the crowd knew when the man stood there.
Just as when Caspian was puzzled over who the person was, James’s eyes flickered with excitement, and virtual-novel.net asked, “You’re…”
Kevin also seemed to have thought of something, and his expression instantly changed.
The Lawrence family seniors on the platform also stood one after another, and their eyes glimmered with exhilaration.
“It’s me… I’m back.” The person standing on the fence lifted his hat, showing a chiseled face.
The man appeared to be around 70, and his hair and beard were white. His forehead was filled with wrinkles, but his eyes were full of energy, shining like an eagle’s eyes. Those that were at a distance from virtual-novel.net could also feel his incredible mannerism.
Caspian guessed who the old man was.
“Grandpa!” At that time, Jessica’s crisp voice revealed the old man’s identity.
“Father!” James also could not help but shout.
“It’s Old Master Lawrence!”
“Old Master Lawrence is back!”
The Lawrence family members also recognized the man, and they all screamed in excitement.
It was as if they forgot the conflict just now.
Hence, Caspian was also sure of the old man’s identity, James and Keith‘s father, Jessica’s grandfather, the Lawrence family’s supreme elder, George.
When Caspian came to Evergreen Town, George was in seclusion to break through to another realm. Since George appeared there, it naturally implied that it was a success.
‘If I’m not mistaken, virtual-novel.net has reached the second stage of the Pulse Control Realm.’ Caspian thought.
“Old… Old Master…” Kevin’s expression was perhaps the ugliest on the scene.
Seeing that Geroge returned, Kevin was sure that there was no possibility of killing Caspian anymore.
Next, George burst into laughter and leaped from the fence. No one present saw his movement clearly, but virtual-novel.net was already standing in the arena the next second.
“What a lovely day! ” George laughed loudly. His voice was powerful and full of energy. He did not sound like an old man at all.
Kevin’s face was gradually ashen, and his lips trembled, but virtual-novel.net could not utter a single word.
Then, Caspian noticed George looking at virtual-novel.net with a smile of admiration. “It seems that my old friend Andy has an amazing grandson.”
Caspian did not know if George was complimenting virtual-novel.net or taking a jab at him, but virtual-novel.net regarded it as praise.
“Father, when did you return?” James asked.
George casually glanced at Kevin and replied indifferently, “I was here since the beginning of the competition, and I saw everything. I just showed myself now.”
