Chapter 734 Marriage Time
It was time for the wedding to commence in the Empyrean Sect hall.
Lyanna secretly moved her veil away a little bit to look for Jared. Where the hell did he go? He’s not selling me out and running away, is he?
She looked around frantically, but he was nowhere to be found.
“The time has come. The newlyweds, please…” a Senior Grandmaster from the Empyrean Sect shouted.
Carlos stared at Lyanna excitedly. After the ceremony was over, they would go to the bedroom. Then, when she was least expecting it, he would suck all her negative energy. That would help him leap through multiple cultivation levels and become a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
There weren’t many young Martial Arts Grandmasters in the world.
He became even more excited when he thought he might become the youngest Martial Arts Grandmaster in the martial arts world.
“Why is your father not attending your wedding, Mr. Xuereb?” Weston asked perplexedly when he saw the chair at the end of the hall empty. What kind of father doesn’t attend his son’s wedding?
“My father has some important matters to attend to. He has left half a month ago, and it’ll be a while before he returns. In any case, this wedding is between me and Lyanna. It doesn’t matter if my father isn’t here. Besides, Poison King isn’t here too, no?” Carlos explained with a smug smile.
Weston stayed silent, though Lyanna spoke up.
She removed her veil and said, “It’s bad luck to get married when both of our parents aren’t here. I think it’ll be better if we do it after your father returns…”
There was no way she was going to go through the wedding and become his wife.
And since she had no idea where Jared went, it was the only excuse she could use.
Carlos’ expression turned cold. “I have told you that my father isn’t returning any time soon. Besides, the date has been set, and a lot of people knew about it. I’m going to be a laughing stock if I cancel it right now.”
“I don’t care. I’m not going through with it if none of our parents are here.” She then turned around and left.
In her mind, she was cursing Jared to hell and back. He promised it was just going to be an act and that he wouldn’t actually make her marry Carlos. Yet, he was nowhere to be seen.
Just as she arrived at the hall’s entrance, she was stopped by members of the Empyrean Sect.
“Do you think you can leave like that? Are you taking me for a fool? I want to see you try leaving without my permission,” he declared sinisterly.
She swept her gaze past the scary members of the Empyrean Sect. All of them were emitting a murderous intent. So, she turned back to Carlos and said, “This is an important event. If you’re going through this without your father, it means you’re looking down on me. I won’t agree-”
“Let me tell you something. I don’t care if you agree or not. You’re marrying me today. This is the Empyrean Sect, not Mapleton. Even if we’re in Mapleton, I still won’t be afraid of you all.” He threw away his facade and threatened her.
The Empyrean Sect was stronger than Mapleton, and she was currently in his territory.
The moment he finished, the members of the Empyrean Sect pulled out their weapons. It shocked Lyanna and the members of Mapleton.
They had no chance of winning against the Empyrean Sect in their territory.
Carlos smirked as he stared at the bewildered expression of the Mapleton group. “I truly love you, Lyanna. Besides, Poison King has approved our marriage. Isn’t it good that our families will work with each other? Why are you changing your mind at the last second? You should think about the benefits that I can provide to Mapleton.”
