Chapter: 1009
Natasha was first caught off guard. Then, she coldly spat out, "Get lost!"
"Get lost!" Natasha’s answer was simple and direct.
The smile on Caelus’ face froze. He had never thought she wouldn’t even try to spare his feelings. After all, he was the senior disciple of the Invincible Guardians and a universally acknowledged martial arts genius. No matter where he went, people kissed the ground he walked on, and no one dared look down on him.
But today, of all days, when he tried to ask for someone’s hand in marriage, all he received in response was a simple "Get lost!" His reputation was going down the drain.
"Natasha, don’t be rude!" Hector chastised. He then said regretfully, "Caelus, my daughter impulsively spoke out of turn. Please don’t take it to heart."
Caelus was the senior disciple of the Invincible Guardians, after all. He had to show him some form of respect.
"Mr. Harmon, I consider myself a handsome and exceptionally talented man. I don’t think it’s a tall order to become your son-in-law. Now, I’m sincerely proposing to your daughter, and this is the attitude I get in return?" Caelus frowned slightly.
"This is a misunderstanding, Caelus. Actually, my daughter is already betrothed. All I can say is that you two are not destined to be," Hector explained, shaking his head.
"Betrothed? To whom?" Caelus was taken aback.
"To this young man next to me, Dustin." Hector gestured toward him.
In an instant, everyone’s eyes were drawn to Dustin.
Dustin’s mouth twitched. The only choice he had was to go along with it. At this point, no matter whether it was real or not, he couldn’t expose the bluff.
"Dustin?" Caelus narrowed his eyes slightly. The moment he stepped through the door, he noticed. this man. At first, he simply thought Dustin was an ordinary disciple of the Harmon family. Never in a million years did he think the man was Nathasha’s fiancé.
Caelus peered at him closely. Besides being somewhat good-looking, there was nothing. outstanding about him. He dressed ordinarily and gave off an aura of ordinariness. He seemed to be the farthest thing from a powerful martial artist, and he didn’t have the energy that young talent should have.
His entire being screamed average.
"Mr. Harmon, I don’t understand. In what way is this guy worthy of your daughter?" Caelus said, not hiding the disdain on his face. How could a mediocre young man like Dustin be put on par with the senior disciple of the Invincible Guardians?
"Dustin is talented in both medicine and martial arts. And he’s way better than you. Why wouldn’t he be worthy?" Natasha piped up suddenly.
There was always going to be that arrogant bastard who liked to look down on others.
"Talented in both medicine and martial arts?" Caelus snorted coldly.
"Fine. Since he’s so impressive, why don’t we have a duel?"
"How do you want to compete?" Dustin said indifferently.
"It’s simple. Let’s follow the example of our ancestors and have a martial arts battle. The winner will get Natasha’s hand in marriage!" Caelus raised his head slightly.
