    Chapter 217 Reactions


    After Karl disappeared, Derek finally rose to his feet.


    His expression was grim. “Spread the word, everyone is to set up at the diamond mine. In


    three days, I want Skyefall Security Services to make sure there’s noing back for them!”


    Among the seven ancient Skyefall families, the one with the longest lineage was the Lark


    family. From the first ancestor to the present day, they had surpassed a millennium in


    existence.


    Typically, 70% of the wealthy families saw their fortunes decline by the second generation and


    90% by the third.


    Yet, the wealth of the Lark family had endured for a thousand years without faltering, growing


    stronger with each passing generation.


    This longevity was attributed to the meticulous upbringing system within the Lark family.


    The descendants received top–notch education from a young age, ensuring that only the most


    exceptional individuals could manage the family’s wealth and lead them to continued greatness.


    The current standout of the Lark family was Orion.


    Unlike the arrogant Apollo, Orion was modest but possessed even greater strength. From a


    young age, he harbored ambitions to make the Lark family the most potent ancient lineage in


    Rosmandi.


    However, such ambitions required a different approach.


    Orion said earnestly to Gabriel Lark, the head of the family, “Dad, I intend to propose to the


    Radcliffe family! With Apollo gone and his engagement to rissa dissolved, now is my prime


    opportunity to marry her.


    “rissa is the Fatebearer of the Radcliffe family, carrying immense destiny power. The


    renowned prophet en Theron stated that marrying her could lead to soaring heights, but only if one


    can bear her fate power.


    “I must marry rissa to lead our Lark family beyond Skyefall, to be the most powerful family


    in Rosmandi, and perhaps even in the world!”


    Orion’s resolve was unwavering.


    Gabriel’s expression turned grave. “Have you made up your mind? Remember, Helen also


    mentioned that only someone with sufficient status, background, and talent can bear the weight of


    rissa’s fate power. Otherwise, marrying her could lead not to sess but to a fatal end.


    “Why did Apollo perish? It’s likely because he sought to marry rissa, only to be consumed by


    her fate power.”


    Orion said confidently, “Dad, I am not like Apollo. I am certain I can bear the weight of rissa’s


    fate power. The Lark family, in terms of heritage and power, surpasses the Chevalier family. We


    are simply more discreet, not as boastful.


    “I, Orion, surpass Apollo in status, background, talent, and strength. I am more qualified than Apollo


    to marry rissa.”


    Gabriel fell silent for a moment.


    After a moment, he said, “Yet, I fear the unexpected. You are the most outstanding heir of our


    Lark family. We have stood for centuries without a spatial power in our lineage. You’re the only


    one who has it. If something were to happen to you, it would be a loss our family cannot bear.‘


    “Dad, what venturees without risks? As long as I can marry rissa and propel the Lark


    family to greatness, I am willing to take the chance,” Orion responded.


    Gabriel took a deep breath. “Very well.


    “Go ahead and propose to the Radcliffe family. I trust they will make the right choice. If they


    refuse… well, the entire Lark family will be your shield. We will apply pressure on the Radcliffe


    family!”


    Orion chuckled at Gabriel’s words.


    “Alright, Dad, I will definitely marry rissa. No one can stop me, or else I’ll send them straight


    to hell!”


    Orion waved his hand abruptly.


    Before him, a crack appeared in the void, pitch ck like a gateway to hell, immensely terrifying.


    Seeing this, Gabriel was filled with shock and delight.


    “Orion, have you reached ss B+ already?”


    Orion nodded confidently. “That’s right! Just recently, I’ve achieved ss B+. Father, I’ll go


    prepare for the proposal right away.”

    Meanwhile, at the Radcliffe Manor, Donna put down her phone, furrowing her brows tightly.


    “Aunt Donna, what did Grandpa say?” rissa asked curiously.


    Donna sighed, “He said that after news of Apollo’s death spread, many people rushed to propose


    marriage.

    “But as of now, there hasn’t been anyone he finds suitable. He wants me to keep a close eye on


    you, ensuring your safety. Possibly, the family will arrange a new engagement for you soon, and


    once it’s decided, you’ll have to many immediately.”


    “What?”


    rissa’s lovely face turned pale in an instant.


    “Grandpa wants to arrange a new engagement for me? And once it’s decided, I have to many right


    away? Why do they have the right to do this? Have they even asked for my opinion?”


    Donna looked at her sympathetically.


    “rissa, don’t worry. Nothing has been confirmed yet, right? Apollo’s death was so sudden that


    some in the family say it was because he was overwhelmed by your fate power. Others say things


    have been going wrong for the Radcliffe family recently because you haven’t married yet, and your


    fate power is backfiring on the family.


    “So, that’s why they are eager to marry you off.”


    rissa’s expression was filled with sorrow. She was about to say something when Barlyn barged


    in abruptly.


    Barlyn’s face was grave as he quickly said, “Mom, the heir of the Lark family, Orion, is here. He


    says he’se to propose to rissa!”
