Chapter 316: Chapter 289: Don’t Look at Me Like That, I’m Not That Beastly (2 updates)

"Ella, you look so pale, are you okay?"

A companion asked with concern.

Ella gave a weak smile, "I’m fine."

She excused herself, then hurriedly headed out while dialing Sophia’s number.

Picking up, she spoke anxiously, "Mum, how could you decide my future without consulting me? Even if I were to marry him in the future, it’s not certain yet. Why are you in such a rush to get rid of me?"

Sophia covered her phone, chuckling sheepishly.

Outside, she lowered her voice, "Ella, mum’s consideration is multifaceted, and still believes that Filbert Fisher is the most suitable candidate."

"Even if he is the most suitable candidate, it should be me who tells him, not you suddenly rushing over to discuss our engagement. Mum, find a way to leave the Fisher House with Granny."

"We’re already here, and both families have set a date. Doesn’t it seem forced to leave now? Ella, it’s just an engagement. If anything unexpected happens in the future, you can still call it off. These days, even married couples can get divorced, let alone engagements. Listen to me, let’s engage him first."

Ella tightened her grip on her phone.

As Sophia said, both parents had already agreed and even picked a date on the spot. Her asking them to leave the Fisher family now was unreasonable.

*

Ella still ended up leaving the Aerospace Institute.

She had to visit the Fisher family.

As the car pulled up to an intersection, she saw Chloe carrying her schoolbag.

"Chloe," she called out.

Hearing her name, Chloe turned to look.

Having just said goodbye to her friends, Chloe wasn’t interested in Ellie, who was in the car.

However, Ella left the car at that moment and quickly approached her.

"Just now, our families have gone to the Fisher’s to negotiate my engagement with Filbert. Chloe, I had no idea they would move so fast. At first, he and I were only friends. You mustn’t have any misunderstandings. I have no choice in this engagement either."

From Ella’s tone, there seemed to be a hint of boasting.

Chloe eyed her, "I believe I made it clear already that I am not interested in the man you picked up."

Ella stiffened slightly.

"Chloe... I’m your cousin."

"So what?"

"In the Stephens family, I know you’ve been aggrieved a lot. If you ever need anything, you can come find me."

"Are you out of your mind?"

"What?"

"Since you’re not out of your mind, get lost if you can understand what people say."

After leaving these words calmly, Chloe ignored Ella’s darkening face and continued on her way.

A car conveniently came over.

A tall figure emerged from the car.

An extraordinarily handsome face appeared before her eyes.

This man’s enchanting face was coupled with a charming smile. When those phoenix eyes lifted slightly, a powerful aura pressed down upon her.

Ella’s eyes contracted slightly.

It was him!

"Family?"

As Len Hawthorne opened the car door, he glanced at Ella and then at Chloe, who had just got in the car.

"A Stephens family member."

From Chloe’s indifferent reply, Len could tell she was not an important person.

He got in the car, which then quickly drove off.

Ella rushed a few steps forward, her eyes locked onto the retreating car.

That camouflage uniform was something she clearly remembered.

But.

Why was he with Chloe?

Ella furrowed her brows.

Chloe always had many people who treated her kindly around her.

A surge of jealousy welled up.

*

"The clues you provided last time have led to more findings. The Fishers do seem to be in secret contact with witches from Western Europe. They even sent witches to the mountain county. The enemy has hidden very deeply, potentially a saint-level witch."

In the car.

Len’s voice grew serious.

"There are foreign witches traveling all over the Herta Kingdom?"

"Very likely a small group exists."

"Even you guys cannot detect it?"

"Little Chloe, we’re only human, we haven’t reached the realm of gods."

So how could a person become so powerful that the whole world knows?

Chloe Stephens is an ancient martial artist, so Len Hawthorne shared this information with her.

But at a deeper level, he could not share more.

On the one hand, he didn’t want Chloe to suffer more harm; on the other hand, he didn’t want Chloe to get involved in the overly complex world of Ancient Martial Arts.

"If the power of a deity’s witchcraft truly exists in this world, could Herta’s power resist it?"

"The power of a deity’s witchcraft cannot be measured, we have never encountered it. However, if the time comes, we will do everything we can to resist all external forces."

Chloe suddenly said, "It seems like a difficult job."

"Knowing how hard your elder brother works, you should say more nice things to him in the future."

"Eat more medicinal supplements."

"..."

*

Entering the stronghold building.

Chloe turned back and asked, "What are you planning to do about the Fisher Family?"

"We will proceed according to regulation. Why? Do you feel pity for your ex-fiance?"

"No."

"Given that, your elder brother won’t be polite."

"I didn’t ask you to show mercy."

"Do you truly have no feelings left for him?"

Chloe glanced at him, "You’re asking some strange questions."

"Huh?"

"Don’t fall for me."

"..."

Len put a cigarette in his mouth, laughed, and ruffled her hair.

"Don’t worry, your elder brother isn’t that molester."

Chloe nodded, swaggering into the grand building with Len.

*

After nightfall.

Len held the documents in one hand and a lit cigarette in the other, which he did not smoke.

Under the night light, the languid man leaned back, half-closing his eyes to read the documents, his brow furrowing deeper the more he read.

"Team Hawthorne, a call from Commander Turner."

A team member handed over the phone.

Len took the call.

An icy, serious voice from Jimmy Turner came through, "A Chinese ancient martial artist has been found in Western Europe."

Len’s eyes narrowed even more, "Oh, they’re being audacious."

"I have to stay here for a while. I’ll leave the matters in other places to you."

"Should I send someone over to assist you?"

"Who else?"

"You know who."

"No need."

Jimmy Turner declined outright and hung up the phone.

Len put away his phone, his lips tightly drawn.

His phoenix eyes slightly narrowed.

These people love to give him more work.

It was not until late at night that they came to report to the Elder Council after negotiating with the Fisher Family at Building 10.

The people at the Elder Council were furious for being disturbed so late.

They directly summoned Carl Stephens.

As the family leader, Pierce Stephens had to be present as an observer.

While he was eating, Charlotte Richardson who had already put down her chopsticks and bowl, coldly said, "This Carl Stephens always gives you trouble. As soon as the guys from Building 10 left today, I had someone inquire. Just as we were talking about it, they came to get someone. We must firmly disagree with this matter. If we really let Ella Stephens become Filbert Fisher’s fiancee, where does this leave us?"

"I’ll go over and see the situation," Pierce said, putting on his coat, "Since they’ve already made a deal, we can’t easily break it."

"What can’t be easily broken? What do the Fisher family and Building 10 think of our Stephens family?"

Pierce frowned slightly. Although he didn’t like the style of Zachary Fisher and Carl Stephens, if they forcefully separated the two young people who were in love, it would only provoke their criticism.

They would say, since the people from Building 3 couldn’t achieve their objective, they would destroy it.

It wasn’t the time for a family dispute within the Stephens family.

For a moment, Pierce truly wanted to give up this position.
