Chapter 4256 A Banquet In The Red Sword City

"I have to protect our clan at all cost, even if it means I have to sacrifice myself?"

Hearing her father's words, Maple hung her head and sighed.

'I can't believe this.

Dad wants me to sacrifice myself to seduce Austin so that he would side with us.

This will be an embarrassment for our clan.

But Dad is doing this for our clan. I can't really blame him for trying to protect our clan,' she thought to herself.

Taking a deep breath, she held her head high and approached Austin.

"Mr. Lin, like I told you before, if you help my clan, I will repay you however you want.

You can trust me. I've never gone back on my word. All I need you to do is stay here for the time being so that I can do it. Is that okay?"

Maple asked.

She allowed the words to tumble out. Otherwise, she may have chickened out and avoided him.

Currently, she held eye contact with him but tears were welling in her eyes. She was so ashamed that she wished that she could vanish into thin air.

She may be the noble lady of the Lin Clan and the most beautiful woman in the Red Sword City,

but she was used to

the men that found her attractive being below her standards.

She was a goddess that the men in the Red Sword City could only dream of being with.

But now, this goddess had proposed to devote herself to a stranger.

"Maple, what are you doing?"

Maple's brother asked, stepping forward aggressively.

"Gregory,

Maple knows what she is doing,"

Garth said as he grabbed onto Maple's brother's sleeve and pulled him aside.

"Ahem... Miss Maple, you don't have to offer me anything.

I know what you're thinking.

Don't worry about repaying me. I will go to the headquarters of the Purple Sword Sect and destroy it. Then there will be no threat to your clan.

That way, even if I am no longer here, no one can

Garth insisted. Before long, they were all at his home in front of a feast held just for Austin.

Famous figures from the Red Sword City arrived with presents, wanting to meet Austin and make friends with him.

However, Austin wasn't a fan of large gatherings with strangers so he turned all of them away.

When it was all over, Garth and several important figures from his clan sat around the table with Austin.

Garth had arranged for his daughter to sit next to Austin. Apparently, he wanted to bring the two of them together.

On that day, the atmosphere in the Red Sword City was buzzing more than it was during an actual festival. Everyone was excited that Austin was there.

Meanwhile,

a large number of people burst into the Purple Divine Mountain where the headquarters of the Purple Sword Sect was located.

They stopped in the square.

"Bad news!

Bad news!

We went to the Red Sword City to destroy the Lin Clan and we were defeated. Our men are injured and

even Elder Roland was captured!"

one of them shouted.

Having just escaped from the Red Sword City, they were in a panic.

Soon, the news of what had happened in the Red Sword City spread throughout the Purple Divine Mountain.
