The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor
Chapter 1299

"Master Lagorio, it's not that I do not want to prolong the search, but we've been doing it for months now. You know that the forest is enchanted and dangerous. I didn't manage to go into its deepest parts, bu we've scouted nearly every inch of the forest. If we don't find them, they're most likely dead!"

Nash gave a bitter smile. "Lily wronged me, but Lance is still my son. Of course, I want him to be alive, and of course, I want to find him. Whether he follows me or Lily is up to him then. I will respect his decision!"

"Heh. You're just putting up a show. If I were you, I would have sent the Woods family members into the deepest woods to find him!"

Trenton chuckled, expression disdainful. "Or are the Woods family members afraid of dying?"

"It's not a question of fearing death.

Everybody knows that no one walks out of that forest alive. 1 don't want to throw the other family members' lives away just like that!"

"Why don't you go in and look for him then since you love your grandson so much!" Nash snapped, the tips of ears reddening with fury. "I won't stop you!"

Fane could not help but frown as he took in all that was said. He never thought that a place as mysterious and dangerous as that existed in this world. "All right. All right!"

At this moment, the old master of the Hunt family grew impatient. "Everybody is here today to participate in our competition which happens only once every three years. They are not here to see the two of your families fight," he interrupted. "Settle your disputes on your own. Don't let it affect today's competition!"

After Old Master Hunt said that, he turned toward Nash, "I'm curious as to what your illegitimate son looks like. I heard that he stole the heart of First Young Mistress Cabello not long after he came to Kobe city. He must have quite the charisma!"

The corners of Fane's mouth twitched. He stepped forward and did a fist-to-palm salute. "Greetings, Old Master Hunt. I am Fane Woods!"

Old Master Hunt appraised Fane for a while. "Heh, you are rather handsome," he said, smiling. "No wonder you've earned the favor of the First Young Mistress

Cabello!

The old man had a smile on his face, but Fane did not sense any warmth from it at all.

This was Second Young Master Hunt's grandfather. Since he knew what was going on between Fane and Helena, that meant he knew the poisonous words that Second Young Master Hunt had spewed. Logically speaking, the old man should be rankling at him, but there was no trace of malice in his expression.

The old man was definitely an old fox who hid his blades beneath a winsome smile. A frightening person-someone to stay away from at all costs.

Old Master Hunt did not wait for an answer before continuing, "It's been a long time since we've had a cause for celebration, what about this. If you and First Young Mistress Cabello are still alive by the end of this competition, I'll help you two organize a wedding in a month. And I'll be your guest of honor. How does that sound?"

"What!"

Helena's expression crumpled when she heard this. It seemed that the old man did not believe that she and Fane were in a romantic relationship, so he said that on purpose to test them. If they did not admit t o it, it would mean that they had played his grandson. The old man would be absolutely furious at them then.

Here, Helena's head spun. This single lie had landed them in a huge pit now.

There was no way she could marry Fane. She had only just met him. He was not a bad person, but she had no feelings whatsoever for him. Furthermore, he was Daniella's boyfriend. There was no way she could just snatch her man.

"No way! I don't agree to this!"

Daniella panicked when she heard this.

She jumped onto her feet and huffed.
