Chapter 193

Denton, Christopher, and even Claire herself were taken aback.

None of them expected Sylas to request Claire to escort him back to the Star Gate.

Both Denton and Christopher cast a glance towards Gilmore, standing next to Claire. They all had the same thought, realizing this request might upset Gilmore, given Claire was his girlfriend.

No

man would be comfortable with his girlfriend escorting another man home, especially on a long journey to a distant place like the Star Gate in Oakhaven.

Denton, trying to defuse the situation, cleared his throat and said, “Mr. McLean, Claire is young and inexperienced.

“If she were to accompany you and perhaps fail to observe proper decorum at the Star Gate, it would be rather inappropriate.

“Let me escort you instead. I also want to express my gratitude in person to the Star Gate for t tremendous assistance they’ve provided to the Carter family.”

However, Sylas’s expression turned noticeably cold. “Master Denton, he began sternly, “my group and I traveled a great distance from the Star Gate in Oakhaven to help the Carter family navigate its perils. It was in assisting your family that we were harmed and had our limbs broken.

“And now, all I ask is for Claire to escort me back, and you refuse?

“Are you insinuating that I might have ill intentions towards her?

“Do my bandaged limbs truly make you so wary of mer

Growing visibly irritated, Sylas continued, “If that’s the case, then don’t bother escorting us. I’ll call my father and have someone from the Star–Gate pick us up.

“Mr. McLean, with your hand in that condition, are you sure making a call won’t add insult to injury?“: voice interjected.

Looking up, Sylas found that it was Gilmore speaking

A frown immediately settled on Sylas’s face. “What, Mr. Reed? Are you delighted to see me in this state?” Gilmore chuckled lightly, “You’ve misunderstood, Mr. McLean. I meant no harm. You’re right and injured.

“If Claire escorts you back to the Star Gate, I trust that everything will be fine.”

To Sylas’s surprise, Gilmore was advocating on his behalf. A smile broke across his face.

Turning to Denton, Sylas said, “See, Mr. Carter? Even Mr. Reed, Claire’s boyfriend, thinks it’s right for Claire to accompany me.

“So, it seems that in your eyes, I’m someone not to be trusted.

“I’ll be sure to inform my father of this once I’m back at the Star Gate. Some people pay lip service to gratitude but don’t really hold it in their hearts.”

Denton was puzzled by Gilmore’s sudden agreement, but he sensed that the young man must have had his reasons.

Trying to mend the situation, he said to Sylas, “You’ve misunderstood, Mr. McLean. The Star Gate has been exceedingly gracious to us. I value that bond deeply.

“If you’re adamant about having Claire accompany you, then so be it.

“Should Claire cause any unintended offense during her stay at the Star Gate, I hope you can forgive her Sylas, in a magnanimous gesture, waved his hand and assured, “Rest easy, Mr. Carter. With me around, no one will dare slight Miss Carter.”

Feeling the weight of the moment, Denton turned to Caire and said, “Claire, you will escort Mr. McLean

back to the Star Gate.”

Although Claire was very reluctant to accompany Sylas, she couldn’t go against her grandfather’s wishes. “Yes, Grandpa,” she replied dutifully.

Seeing Claire’s acquiescence, a gleam of delight appeared on Sylas’s face. “Claire, he said with a hint of excitement, “The landscapes of Oakhaven are truly breathtaking. And where the Star Gate is located, on Sword Mountain, it’s as enchanting as a fairyland.

“When we arrive at the Star Gate, I’ll definitely take you to admire the scenic views.”

However, Claire wasn’t particularly interested in the landscapes of Sword Mountain at the Star Gate.

She hummed noncommittally. Then, taking Gilmore’s hand, they stepped a few meters away, ensuring their conversation remained private.

“Why did you agree to let me escort Sylas back to the Star Gate?” Claire whispered.

Gilmore grinned, “I wanted to visit Oakhaven and take in the sights.”

Claire’s eyes lit up, “So, you’re coming with me to the Star Gate?”

“Not exactly to the Star Gate,” Gilmore explained. “You head there first.

“I’ll find a hotel in a nearby city tomorrow and message you.

“After you’re done at the Star Gate, we can explore Oakhaven together.”

Joy spread across Claire’s face. “Perfect. You head to the nearby city today, and tomorrow, we’ll explore Oakhaven together.”

With plans settled, they returned to where Denton and the others were waiting.

Everyone noticed the stark transformation in Claire’s demeanor. From the sullen look she previously wore, her face now beamed radiantly.

Everyone was quite curious about what Gilmore had said to brighten her spirits so quickly.

“Grandpa, Gilmore and I have discussed everything. We’re ready for the helicopter now,” Claire said, her reluctance nowhere in sight.

Denton, snapping out of his surprise, nodded, “Alright, let’s board the helicopter.”

Denton then directed his guards to assist Sylas, Julian, and the other injured members of the Star Gate seated in wheelchairs towards the helicopter.

Carefully, they lifted each injured individual from the wheelchairs and settled them into the helicopter. Once everyone from the Star Gate was aboard, Claire bid farewell to her grandfather, parents, and Gilmore, then stepped into the helicopter.

Of course, for this mission of escorting the injured members of the Star Gate, Denton ensured that over a dozen of the Carter family’s martialists accompanied them for added security.

The two helicopters, carrying Claire, Sylas, and the others, lifted off from the Carter family’s mansion, soaring higher into the sky.

They flew farther and farther away until they vanished from the sight of Denton and the rest.

Only then did everyone turn their gaze away.

Denton then looked at Gilmore, “Gilmore, why did you agree to let Claire take Sylas back?”

Christopher and his wife also curiously turned their attention to Gilmore.

Gilmore replied, “Mr. Carter, as you’ve noticed, Sylas has taken a fancy to Claire,

I’m aware that his request for Claire to accompany him back is merely an excuse. However, if Claire didn’t go with him, Sylas would undoubtedly harbor resentment. Once he’s back, he would malign the Carter family at every turn, possibly even fabricating all sorts of accusations against us “Given his status as the heir to Star Gate, his words would naturally carry more weight with his people

than ours would.

“This could bring disaster upon the Carter family.”

After hearing Gilmore’s explanation, Denton and Christopher’s family had a sudden realization. They now understood why Gilmore had consented to Claire’s accompanying Sylas.

However, what Denton didn’t know was that Gilmore had not revealed the entire truth.

The real reason he had ultimately agreed for Claire to accompany

Sylas was something he had seen through his special visionary ability God’s Eye that Star Gate was hatching against the Carter family!
