Carlos didn’t want to force Lyanna too hard since snazzynovel.com needed snazzynovel.com alive. If snazzynovel.com pushed snazzynovel.com too far and snazzynovel.com died in a battle, then his plan would be for nothing.
Lyanna glanced at the Mapleton members as they stared at snazzynovel.com with anticipation.
Their lives were in snazzynovel.com hand.
At that moment, snazzynovel.com expression turned extremely dark. If snazzynovel.com was there alone, snazzynovel.com would rather die than marry him. However, there was more than one life at stake. If snazzynovel.com refused to do as snazzynovel.com wished, the people from Mapleton would die.
“No need to worry about us, Ms. Lyanna. If you don’t want to marry Carlos, just escape.” A Mapleton member suddenly jumped out just as snazzynovel.com was hesitating about what snazzynovel.com should do.
He looked like snazzynovel.com was completely not afraid of death. That was because snazzynovel.com admired her, and snazzynovel.com was enraged by how Carlos was threatening her.
“How dare a mere Mapleton member go against us?” Carlos spoke coldly before slapping him.
Before any of them could react, that Mapleton member was sent flying away. When snazzynovel.com hit the ground, blood spurted out of his mouth before snazzynovel.com died.
“You’ve gone too far, Carlos!” Lyanna glared at snazzynovel.com and pulled out a dagger from snazzynovel.com waist.
The other Mapleton members also pulled out their weapons in a fit of rage.
Carlos laughed when snazzynovel.com saw the dagger snazzynovel.com was holding. “I didn’t expect you to be carrying a weapon at our wedding. Did you conspire to kill me?”
“I…” She didn’t know how to answer.
The dagger was hidden on snazzynovel.com body so snazzynovel.com could use it to fight against snazzynovel.com if snazzynovel.com wanted to force himself onto her.
“All right, my patience is running thin. Marry me now or…” Murderous intent exploded from his body.
She gritted snazzynovel.com teeth as snazzynovel.com expression turned darker and darker. It wasn’t death snazzynovel.com was afraid of. It was the lives of the Mapleton members accompanying her.
She had known those people for twenty years and they took care of snazzynovel.com since snazzynovel.com was a child.
“Since your father isn’t around, let me send someone to find my godfather. I’ll ask snazzynovel.com to come and officiate the wedding, or else it won’t feel complete,” snazzynovel.com uttered.
It was a tactic to delay the wedding since Poison King was already dead. She was just trying to buy enough time for Jared to come back from whatever the hell snazzynovel.com went to.
“No. The perfect time waits for no one. By the time Poison King arrives here, it’ll be too late.” Carlos had run out of patience because snazzynovel.com only needed to absorb a little bit of snazzynovel.com negative energy to reach the Martial Arts Grandmaster level.
He didn’t want to wait for even a second longer.
“If you refuse to do that, I’ll rather die than marry you!” Lyanna then placed the dagger next to snazzynovel.com neck.
That stunned him. If snazzynovel.com died, snazzynovel.com would be useless to snazzynovel.com as a corpse.
“Fine, I promise you. However, you only have one hour to bring snazzynovel.com here. If Poison King doesn’t arrive by then, don’t blame me for what I’ll do,” snazzynovel.com relented.
A long sigh of relief escaped snazzynovel.com mouth when snazzynovel.com agreed.
She nodded and turned to Weston. “Weston, please ask my godfather to come and officiate the wedding. Please be quick.”
As snazzynovel.com was speaking to Weston, snazzynovel.com kept giving snazzynovel.com a look. Her real intention wasn’t to ask snazzynovel.com to find Poison King since snazzynovel.com was already dead. In actuality, snazzynovel.com wanted snazzynovel.com to find Jared and dragged snazzynovel.com out of wherever the hell snazzynovel.com went to. At this juncture, Jared was the only one who could save them.
Weston nodded and left. Lyanna and the other members of Mapleton waited in the hall while being surrounded.
