Chapter 31: Must
Chapter 31: Must
Charlotte began to gasp for air at her father's words. Her eyes seemed to lose light, as if she was about to faint.
"Father, that man is Anna's son. My best friend since childhood, if people knew I was married to my best friend's son, people would think I was crazy. What will I say to Anna if she comes back?" She said in a loud voice.
Even the two guards were dumbfounded by her words.
They knew the details of Charlotte's life, including her close friends.
Of course, they knew Anna best because she was the most intimate with Charlotte among all her female friends.
They thought it would indeed seem strange if Charlotte somehow married her friend's son whom she had practically seen since he was a child.
She should have treated him as her nephew.
However, Johnson didn't really care. He was only briefly surprised.
"No one knows about that and we can shut up anyone who does. If he's Anna's son, that means he's the grandson of my best friend, then this marriage will be even better. It's your own fault for marrying too late. If only you had a daughter the same age as him, he could marry your daughter. My best friend and I had planned that, but it doesn't matter if the outcome is a little different. After all, you're now more suited to be my granddaughter. I don't care what you think. The point is, you guys should get married." Johnson spoke louder.
Charlotte finally fell silent with a frozen expression, like she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"This marriage is already decided," Johnson continued as he stood up.
"I will arrange everything and announce it to everyone."
Having said that, he finally walked away, leaving Charlotte alone with a headache.
With this kind of mood, she no longer had the mood to throw a party.
Her mind was filled with thoughts of the wedding.
She was very uncomfortable, but when she kept thinking about it, she found it interesting so her face blushed.
Levi did not know that Charlotte was forced to marry him by her father.
He was now jumping from tree to tree, going deep into the Twilight Forest Valley.
Commotion was happening everywhere. He saw quite a number of rampaging monsters, chasing after the cultivators who were exploring.
"Ehm..." Levi's eyes were drawn to a tree that was huge and tall, piercing through the clouds in the sky.
It was different from the others as its leaves were bright red in color with apple-like fruits whose size could be compared to a car.
Of course, the fruit and leaves were not the main thing on the tree.
What caught Levi's attention was a very large snake that was coiled on the tree.
The snake was brown in color with steel-like scales where its head resembled that of a cobra.
Levi estimated its size at 200 meters with a mouth that could easily swallow a house.
Its eyes looked icy cold, making people dare not look directly at it.
DING!
(You met the Earth Snake Boss, 17th Stage!)
As Levi had expected, it was indeed a monster boss.
It seemed to have the ability to control the ground.
Levi wondered how much his strength would increase if he killed this one monster.
Although his figure was very small compared to the snake, the snake quickly found him.
"Boy!" It spoke.
Its voice was similar to rusty stale scraping against each other, so hoarse.
"I'm not hunting humans right now, you better leave or you die here," it continued.
Apparently it was asking him to leave instead of wanting to kill him.
This made Levi observe it again, and finally concluded that the snake was on the verge of a breakthrough.
No wonder it was asking him to leave.
It didn't want to be distracted by other things.
Not even its subordinates are visible here, showing that it is very focused on its cultivation.
However, Levi took out his sword in response, bringing out his aura faintly.
"Brat!" The snake instantly glared at him.
"You're only a 12th stage cultivator, how dare you challenge me," it said, full of anger.
It knew Levi's cultivation since the latter released his aura.
"Even if you are equal to me in cultivation, I can kill you," it added.
"Hmm..." Levi just smiled coldly, too lazy to say anything.
He stepped forward, a few steps, then jumped straight at it.
His movement was like a rocket launching, so fast that the snake was taken by surprise, finally realizing that the enemy had unexpected combat power.
What it didn't know was that Levi had actually dropped his earring among the grass.
He was rather unsure of being able to kill the snake, so he needed to prepare a surprise attack using his clone.
The original figure still continued to advance upwards.
The snake did not stand still as he got closer. Its mouth suddenly opened.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Clod after clod of earth slid out of its mouth, large and fast.
In just one second, the snake spewed out at least more than a thousand dirt clods.
One finally arrived in front of Levi.
Being in the air, he was practically unable to dodge at all.
He didn't plan to dodge either.
Casually, he slashed his sword towards.
Xiu!
One sword became eight and each produced countless slashes, appearing on each of those clods of earth.
They chopped them up, turning them into tiny dirt the size of raindrops so that their fall had no effect at all.
"Brat, apparently you have power!" The snake began to take things more seriously.
Its head came forward while its tongue stuck out.
Shua!
It lunged at him with its long body, as if it wanted to smash him with its head.
By relying on its powerful physique, it could practically crush the cultivator's body.
At the same time, its tail moved like a whip, attacking from behind him.
By relying on its large body, it was an easy thing for it.
Levi glanced back briefly, smiling slightly before picking up the snake's tail.
He simply waved his hand and then countless shadow swords appeared behind him, directly sliding towards that tail.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
The tail could not dodge as it moved towards the swords.
When they met, the swords easily pierced through its scales that were as hard as steel.
No matter how hard the scales were, they would not be able to withstand the swords made of the Great Sword Path.
