Chapter 452
After a long period of contemtion, Zenith slowly said, “This isn’t a trivial matter.
It’s rted to the future of the Gibson family, let it be tens of years or even hundreds.
Hence, we can’t fail.
Moreover, Sna is the key to this, and if there’s an ident with her, the efforts of our whole n will
fall short.”
The nsman listened to Zenith attentively, and he did not dare to interrupt.
“If that’s the case, send some more manpower.
No one is allowed to approach the small courtyard within three hundred meters.
Then, get those people who saw what happened in Sna‘s yard over.
I want to tell them what should be said and what should be left to rot inside of them.”
After saying that, Zenith was deep in his thoughts again.
Finally, he looked up and added, “As for Casper… I’ll talk to himter.”
“Chief Zenith…” The Gibson family member was shocked and looked at Zenith.
After all, Zenith was a second-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator.
Therefore, even though the other party was a Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciple, there was no need for the
head of the family to attend to the matter personally!
Zenith simply waved his hands.
“I’ve said it before.
The Gibson family has worked for this for the past three generations, and it almost failed.
The chance finally appears before us again, so we can’t afford any mistakes.
If this Casper can change Sna‘s mind, I’ll naturally do this myself.
I definitely can’t let one person ruin the Gibson family’s three generations of blood and sweat!”
When Zenith said that, there was an unprecedented imposing manner and seriousness on his face.
At that time, Caspian sat on the rail under the eaves, eating the dessert that Sna brought over and
nodding as he said, “I see what you mean.
The Gibson family wants to have a fight with another family in Veystone Town on your birthday.
If you win, then the Gibson family will get the undeveloped Silver Marrow Ore Vein, but if you lose,
you’ll have to be a bargaining chip and marry someone from the other party’s family.
The chances of winning were supposedly 50-50, but your winning probability should be 70% after your
return.
However, your dad wanted you toe back just for you to lose, not to win.
In other words, he’s determined to let you marry someone from the other party’s family, even if losing
the fight is going to embarrass the Gibson family.
Such thinking is indeed iprehensible.
No wonder it took me a while before I understood the rtionship.”
As Caspian spoke, he already swallowed a piece of cake, and Sna did not say anything during the
whole process.
While Caspian sat on the railing, Sna stood at one side, leaning slightly.
That way, she could see Caspian’s side profile.
When Sna saw Caspian reaching out his hand after finishing his cake, a faint wave of joy appeared
in Sna’s heart.
“Speaking of which, who decided that you should marry someone if you lose?” Caspian asked
curiously.
Sna pointed at herself.
“You did?” Caspian was dumbfounded.
Soon, he frowned and asked, “Why did you offer to be the stake?”
After giving it a thought, Sna answered, “I don’t want to get married.”
“If you don’t want to, why are you betting on yourself?”
Caspian became more confused.
He knew that his female student was a person of few words, but it was difficult for others to guess that
logic if Sna did not exin.
Were the Gibson family members mysterious like that too?
Caspian looked at Sna and was about to ask more, but he suddenly thought of a possibility, so he
lowered his voice and asked, “From the beginning, your father wanted you to marry into the family, but
you didn’t want to, and that’s why this bet happened?”
“Yes.” Sna nodded.
In that instant, most of the questions in Caspian‘s heart were resolved, and the matter that sounded
unfathomable was finally cleared.
The head of the Gibson family hoped that his daughter could marry another family member of Veystone
Town.
Nevertheless, as Sna refused, the Gibson family and that family thought of an alternative and came
up with a bet.
On the surface, it was a bet between the Gibson family and that family, but in fact, it was a battle
between Sna and the two families.
Even though Sna was a Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciple, the sect could not interfere with that matter.
Unless Sna was a personal disciple of an elder in the sect and her teacher did not want Sna to
marry, then someone would interfere.
Teacher?
Caspian suddenly blinked.
Then, he looked at himself and immediately understood.
Sna asked Caspian toe, not because she wanted him to witness anything, but she hoped that
he could help her get rid of the marriage or let her be the winner of the bet.
In other words, defeating two families with Caspian’s strength.
“Interesting!” Caspian nodded, “I have a question now, and it’s what I want to know the most.
Why is your father obsessed with letting you marry someone else? What can he get?”
That time, Sna pondered for a long while before finally answering, “I…”
However, just as she uttered a word, a figure suddenly appeared not far in front of the small courtyard.
Seeing that figure, Sna’s face suddenly turned pale, and a look of panic shed in her eyes.
Then, Caspian looked in the direction of her line of sight, and he immediately saw a middle-aged man
in a purple robe striding over.
”Zenith Gibson.” Caspian narrowed his eyes.
Caspian naturally knew this middle-aged man in purple robes as he saw him in the Dark Moon Sect
selection in Evergreen Town.
Moreover, Zenith had a 60% resemnce to Zephyr, who Caspian killed.
To some extent, there was a rtionship between Caspian and Zenith as he killed Zephyr, who was
Zenith’s brother.
Caspian watched as Zenith walked over, and he smiled faintly.
“He doesn’t seem like he’ s well-intentioned.”
Sna also stared at her father when she heard Caspian’s voice.
“Sna!”
Then, Sna turned to Caspian and saw him looking at her.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
“I remember you telling me that you want to prove to your mother that you can be great and strong by
yourself.
Then, do you want me to solve the problem for you this time, or do you want to use your strength to
shut everyone up?”
Caspian’s question directly struck Sna’s heart.
Before that, she did not think about it that way.
Initially, she hoped that Caspian woulde because she would feel more secure if her teacher was
around.
However, her teacher seemed to want her to make a choice.
As for the time given, it would only be before Sna’s father reached them.
Just when Sna could not make up her mind, she heard Caspian’s voice again.
“Don’t worry.
No matter what, I’ll stay here until this matter is over.
As for yourself, you just have to think about it.
You’ve worked hard for so long, refused to admit defeat, fell, and got up again and again… What are
those for? What are you hoping for?”
