SWNOVELS Chapter 45: She’s Still Pure
The more Lenard said, the more ferocious he looked. Lena was biting her lower lip, looking sexy but pitiful to be exact.
It was then a sonorous voice was heard by the crowd all of a sudden. "Where's Lenard Bell, the head of the Bell family?" A skinny old man appeared in their line of sight the moment he finished his words, together with several other people. Jacob looked at him and let out a smile. He had slightly understood the division of the martial art phases on Earth now.
Grizzly Bear, Abbott and the others belonged to the group of aces that had fully mastered their martial arts, while Edwin, the Lecherous Demon, Lenard, the head of the Bell family and Alexander who had been killed by him belonged to the masterstrokes in internal power, which also meant they had achieved the masterstroke phase in martial arts! As for the Dark-Minded Master who had escaped when he chopped his hand off, he was a super ace that belonged to one of the virtuoso-to-be's. The comer actually possessed the same level of competency as the Dark-Minded Master and was also a super ace of the class of a virtuoso-to-be.
Lenard was startled when he heard the voice, but exhilaration followed afterwards. He glanced at the gang who was walking towards him and their leader was actually Calvin Goldsmith, one of the upper class of the Goldsmith family in the capital city. He was an unquestionable virtuoso-to-be, and since he had trained himself in this phase for decades, his skills were definitely formidable to whoever he fought except the virtuosos.
Lenard who almost lost his sanity at this moment seemed to have found his savior and he quickly yelled. "Lenard Bell beholds Mr. Goldsmith!" Calvin came forward with his gang and did not pay any attention to Jacob and his gang. He glanced at Lenard instead and slightly frowned. "How did things go like this?"
Lenard immediately replied humbly. "It was all because of that fellow. He's killed my son and he even wanted to creep into Lena's bedroom during midnight. I caught him red handed yet his competency has exceeded my imagination. We Bell family couldn't match him, therefore we hope Mr. Goldsmith could lend us a hand!"
Calvin swore secretly. No matter what, the Bell family was still considered as one of the most prestigious families in the Riverside City, how could they not even take care of such a young bloke? Yet he did not say anything openly as he was Lena's father after all. "Is Miss Bell alright?" he asked. That was what he cared the most. Boyce Goldsmith suddenly had an inspiration today and he wanted to explore into the virtuoso phase which was almost one year earlier than expected, and he had high chance for it. He was asked to rush to the Riverside City in the interim to bring Lena back to the Goldsmith family at once. "Don't worry. Lena is alright, and she's definitely pure!" Lenard knew too that Calvin did not ask for Lena's safety but whether she still had her physique with the purest Kidney-Yin.
Calvin only let out a smile of content when he heard that. He then glanced at both Jacob and Edwin and said, "Initially, as an outsider, you shouldn't intervene in the Bell family's matter. Since the head of the Bell family has asked for my help and plus, you dare offend Miss Bell, I'll forget the whole thing if you two destroy your own limbs!" His superior attitude made him look like he was pronouncing a judgment. Jacob did not utter a word whereas Edwin locked his eyes on Calvin fearlessly and replied. "Initially, as a servant, I shouldn't talk here and there in front of my master, yet I really can't bear with some silly clowns jumping up and down and plus, you can humiliate me, but not my master, I'll forget the whole thing if you all take the initiative to scoop out your eyeballs and cut out your tongue!" Offending Jacob would mean offending him, the Lecherous Demon, and no matter who did it, it was totally unforgivable! Jacob threw a glance at Edwin and admiration flashed across his eyes. This guy indeed matched his preference and was fit to become a demon!
Lenard's smile grew more ferocious when he saw that. He hoped they could act more arrogant and furious. The more they disdained the people from the Goldsmith family, the better. When the time came, they would be able to experience the rage of a virtuoso-to-be nicely.
As expected, Calvin pulled a long face when he heard Edwin's words. By relying on as one of the upper class in the Goldsmith family and his competency as a virtuoso-to-be, no matter where he went all these years, everyone was always deferential to him. He had forgotten how long no one had dared to debunk him outside, let alone humiliate him. "Good. Since you want death, I'll fulfill your wish!" He had sentenced both Jacob and Edwin to death secretly in his heart yet he did not take action immediately as there was something more important at the moment.
He looked at Lenard once again and rumbled. "Where's Miss Bell? I want to bring her back to the Goldsmith family tonight!" Lenard was not very surprised as he had predicted it. Or else, the Goldsmith family would not send a virtuoso-to-be here without notifying them. After all, even for a colossus that had been existing for centuries like the Goldsmith family, the number of virtuoso-to-be was still countable with two hands.
"Lena! Come over here." He peered at Lena who was standing afar and roared, as if the one wanting to kill her before was not him at all. He also believed that even if he had broken his relationship with Lena, she would know how to make the right choice. After all, it was the Goldsmith family. She would immediately become a powerful existence when she got married with someone from the Goldsmith family. It was every woman's desire.
"Father, this is the last time I call you that way. No matter what reason you have, I want to thank you for raising me. Without you, I may have died twenty years ago. Yet starting from today, our relationship as father and daughter would be gone," Lena said slowly when she stepped forward.
Lenard frowned but did not speak a word. Lena seemed to have wanted to go to the Goldsmith family when she saw someone from the Goldsmith family here. Therefore was she no longer worried of her own safety and wanted to deny her connection with him? And would that mean after she went to the Goldsmith family, she would not appreciate their relationship before and would lay hands on him and the Bell family? He gave a creepy smile. He was not worried that she would take vengeance on him using the Goldsmith family's power as there was only one end for her when she went there.
When Calvin saw the attractive figure walking out, a surprised look flashed across his eyes. It was his first time seeing Lena and he was slightly stunned. He could not believe a woman like her had even possessed the physique with the purest Kidney-Yin. If she was born nobler, she would really have the chance to get married with someone from the Goldsmith family and truly become a mistress of the Goldsmith family. Yet things never went as one wished. Nevertheless, to have the honor to help Boyce who would have a vital position all time long after becoming the head of the Goldsmith family enter the virtuoso phase would be her bless. "Miss Bell, we're running out of time. Please come with us!" He stooped a little.
"I'm sorry. Although I've never refused getting married with someone from the Goldsmith family, I've not given my consent either. Now that my father and daughter relationship with Lenard Bell has broken, I would not go to the Goldsmith family!" What? Everyone's eyes popped out upon hearing Lena's words and Lenard, together with the gang from the Goldsmith family all stared at Lena in disbelief. She had actually denied the good chance to get married with someone from the Goldsmith family!
Calvin's eyes went cold instantly. Boyce was still waiting in the capital city and he needed to rush back. He thought he could leave with Lena upon reaching here at first, yet he did not expect that there would be a short delay due to what happened to the Bell family, and now Lena had refused to go with him. "Miss Bell, think before you speak!" he said coldly.
"I have made my decision!" Lena spoke once more. She had not expected too that the Goldsmith family would suddenly send someone to take her away. She initially thought she would still have time when there was still a year and a half wait, not to mention Jacob had agreed to her condition. However, now that someone from the Goldsmith family came and wanted to take her away this instantly, she knew that Boyce must already begin to explore the virtuoso phase and he needed her now!
Calvin's face was all gloomy now and he spoke coldly. "I'm afraid it's not up to you to decide!" He gestured to someone from the Goldsmith family at his back and two women stepped out from the gang at once. The Goldsmith family's horror was seen when these two women were no less weak than Grizzly Bear in the past. And it was no wonder why Grizzly Bear could only run errands and do unimportant stuff as a lightweight character in the Campbell family of the capital city before.
Lena winced as she did not know martial art! She shot a glance towards Jacob as he was her biggest support at the moment! Jacob nodded a little when he met her eyes. Since he had promised her to kill Boyce and not let her get married into the Goldsmith family before, he would fulfill his promise. He would not go against his words as the emperor of the dark realm!
"Did you ask for my opinion when you want to take her away?" Jacob spoke with slight contempt at once.
