Chapter 181: Chapter 157: Little Chloe, He Made an Exception! (3rd update)

The wedding was called off, and Filbert Fisher felt a great sense of relief.

When he returned to the Fisher Family, he noticed that people looked at him strangely.

The Fisher Family Patriarch’s assistant adjusted the gold-framed glasses on his nose and gave Filbert a sharp glance.

"The Patriarch wants both of you to come to the hall."

Filbert and Zachary Fisher exchanged glances, then followed the assistant into the car, which took them to the main hall of the Fisher Family house.

Unlike the Stephens Family, the Fisher Family house had a distinct Old European style. Entering the hall, they saw Juan Fisher, the Fisher Family Patriarch, sitting at the long table reading documents.

Although he had aged, he still looked like a man in his sixties.

He put down the documents, crossed his arms, elbow-backed on the table, and stared at them.

A huge invisible pressure weighed on them.

Zachary Fisher looked slightly somber.

"You’ve made great progress, and the injury you sustained last time turned out to be a blessing in disguise."

Zachary replied, "The medicine from the Taylor Family is indeed effective."

Juan Fisher gave a slight smile, which looked rather dangerous.

Unlike other family leaders, the Fisher Family Patriarch didn’t frown or smile easily. Instead, people perceived him as being very amiable.

At first glance, he seemed approachable.

"The Taylor Family’s Eight Absolutes Medical Sect makes excellent medicines," Juan Fisher’s eyes were gentle as he smiled, "I’ve already heard from Master Stephens about what happened today. Since both youngsters are not interested in the marriage, the wedding arrangement between our families shall be cancelled."

"Patriarch, my marriage with Ella was..." Filbert was a bit anxious.

Juan Fisher smiled at him.

Filbert only felt numbing on his scalp, unable to utter the rest of his words.

"Since you’ve chosen to cancel the wedding, and made it public that the Stephens Family was the one to call it off, there’s no turning back."

"Patriarch, I only annulled the engagement with Chloe Stephens, not completely cutting ties with the marriage alliance."

Unable to hold back, Filbert spoke up.

Juan Fisher looked to Zachary, "They’ll exchange our ancient jade with something else valuable. Since our families can’t be in-laws, we still need to keep our relationship amicable. Adam Stephens will come this afternoon, and you’ll receive the goods personally."

"Patriarch, the ancient jade of our Fisher Family is so precious; can the Stephens Family compensate for it just like that?" Filbert said in a deep voice.

"You cancelled the engagement without consultation and now blame me, the family leader?" Juan Fisher glared at him, "You fought for this marriage alliance, and now you’re the ones wanting to cancel it. Do you think this is a child’s play?"

Zachary lowered his head, "We were indeed reckless."

"You were reckless, and you also agreed to let the Stephens Family take the initiative by announcing it first, essentially slapping our Fisher Family in the face." Juan Fisher’s expression turned cold, "Zachary, you’ve been getting more and more incompetent. If you’re tired, delegate your work to others in the family with good abilities. Let them help you with the heavy burdens."

Zachary’s face darkened, "I can still handle the family affairs, and I’ll properly entertain Adam Stephens when he comes over."

"No matter what, our Fisher Family must not fall out with the Stephens Family," Juan Fisher glanced at the unwilling Filbert Fisher, his tone was leisurely, "As members of the family, we should prioritize the family’s interests, putting aside personal feelings and disputes."

Filbert suppressed his dissatisfaction and nodded, "Yes."

River East Village.

Divinity Temple.

Chloe Stephens led Len Hawthorne inside. Upon seeing the shattered ribbon, Len fell silent.

"Who broke it?"

"Me."

"..."

"Master, you’re back!" A voice came from outside.

Len Hawthorne turned around.

At the sight of his dark eyes, Mallory shuddered.

Len smiled with the corner of his mouth, "Little Chloe, where did you hire this servant? Introduce them to your elder brother here."

Mallory: "..."

"He messes with witchcraft; you can take him."

Len said, "A Western European witch violating the rules."

With that, Mallory’s face turned pale, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

Chloe was making her medicine.

"Don’t just stand there, give me a hand," she said.

Mallory shakily stepped forward and took over Chloe’s task.

Chloe looked back at Len, watching Mallory, and said, "If you like him, take him."

Len replied, "I’m afraid he’ll die a horrible death if he joins the Slaughter Squad."

Tears welled up in Mallory’s eyes.

He had been trying hard to learn the Herta Kingdom language recently – he could understand everything they were saying.

Fred was aware of the Slaughter Squad, and had been warned by the Synder Family before coming here that they could provoke anyone, just not Herta Kingdom’s Slaughter Squad.

This man turned out to be part of the Slaughter Squad, and Fred worried that he might be executed.

Len Hawthorne pointed to the outside, "And that guy too?"

Henry Basil stood far away, not daring to approach.

"Well, it’s a coincidence."

"Little Chloe, you’ve put your big brother in a difficult position."

Chloe Stephens raised her head: "Because of the Herta-Western Europe Agreement?"

"Herta Kingdom forbids the entry of Western European witches; we sweep away any we see."

Mallory: "..."

"You two don’t seem too smart, but big brother will make an exception, just this once, and keep you around. Big brother will take responsibility if anything comes up."

Weren’t you just saying that you sweep away any you see?

Chloe hummed in agreement.

Henry Basil and Mallory didn’t know whether they should be happy or not.

A gentle breeze blew, and Chloe stood under an extremely tall tree, facing the wind.

"You don’t seem surprised."

"There’s nothing to be surprised about."

At first glance, Chloe was extraordinary, so there was nothing surprising about this situation.

Chloe didn’t say anything more.

"But what is that? A robot?" Len pointed at No. 003, who was walking with Fred.

"A gift."

"..."

Who had so much free time to give such a thing?

[Enemy detected! Scanning immediately, attacking...]

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Real bullets were shot.

Chloe was scooped up by someone in the next moment and taken up to the extremely tall tree with a few leaps.

"Bang!"

No. 003’s head was knocked askew.

[I surrender, I surrender! Please spare me, hero.]

A small hatch opened, and the robot raised a small white flag with its hand.

Len Hawthorne: "..."

Others: "..."

What the hell kind of ridiculous move was that?

Chloe jumped down, and Len stretched out his long arm, holding her up high with one hand.

"You can let go now."

Len put her down, "Little Chloe, you’ve been quite carefree while big brother hasn’t been here."

"Not bad."

Len Hawthorne seriously looked at the girl, "From now on, you must keep the people and things in this place a secret."

This machine was the latest 003 model researched by the Imperial Capital.

Earlier models 001 and 002 were scrapped.

This thing had a lot of human emotions implanted, as well as some special information, making it worth thousands of people in combat.

had immense destructive power.

The tech nuts at the Imperial Capital’s Space Agency gave Little Chloe this thing so casually.

What could be the reason behind the connection between these two seemingly unrelated people?

*

Len Hawthorne arranged the borderline defense, ensuring that the girl’s whereabouts were not disturbed before turning around, watching the girl standing in front of the Divinity Temple’s entrance, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.

It seemed that the Western European witches discovered at the Lynch Family last time were probably these two.

He just hadn’t expected them to end up by Chloe’s side.

It seemed they even respected Chloe quite a bit.

As the captain of the Slaughter Squad, Len should have taken care of these two, but he made an exception.

Little Chloe, you made him break the rules!
