"The second round is over now. Harley has won. Since it's too late, the two following rounds will begin tomorrow. Let's call it a day!" Shaw announced.
The onlookers and the defeated Imperial Level warriors dispersed.
Daniel took the chance to ask Zachary, "Harley, would you like to have dinner with me?"
"Well..." Zachary glanced at Jaxon.
"Uncle Daniel, I'm sorry. I have plans with Harley tonight. How about another day?" Vivian said before Jaxon could respond. She stood up and walked over to Zachary, holding on to his arm, as if they were a couple.
"Oh, really? Then I'll have to wait until the end of the race." Then Daniel left with several warriors in his wake.
"Anthony, let's go," Jaxon said with a smile.
Seeing Zachary in the limelight, Anthony felt a little resentful. He glowered at him and left with Jaxon.
"Vivian, do you really intend to spend the evening with me? Or were you just helping me get out of trouble?" Zachary asked once he noticed that no one was around.
"What do you think?" asked Vivian, her beautiful eyes turning serious.
"Maybe both." Zachary smiled and shrugged.
"I have something to tell you. Come see me tonight." With one last glance at Zachary, she left.
"Harley, it seems that Vivian has fallen in love with you. Being Master Jaxon's son-in-law is now a shoo-in!"
"Yes, you're right. I've never heard Vivian invite any of the warriors to her place!"
Jimmy and Henry, who had been watching the challenges, walked over to Zachary.
"I'm afraid I'll end up dead tonight." With that, he left with Jimmy and Henry.
At nightfall, the Xiao Clan, which had been bustling with energy all day, was now peaceful. Zachary was a
an," said Vivian, her beautiful eyes sparkling with intelligence.
"Vivian, this question puts me in a difficult position. I wasn't planning on doing anything when I entered the Xiao Clan. I did come here with one purpose in mind, though," Zachary admitted bluntly.
"What is it? What do you want?" Zachary's answer took her by great surprise.
"I want to be the one to control the Xiao Clan in the future," answered Zachary, the corners of his mouth curling up.
"You are such a brave person." For a moment, Vivian couldn't believe Zachary's ambition.
"If I wasn't a brave man, I wouldn't be sitting here drinking with you today." Zachary smiled sincerely.
"But if that's what you want, you'll be achieving your goal soon. As long as you become my husband, you'll be able to control the Xiao Clan," replied Vivian honestly.
"Not necessarily. I'm afraid Anthony won't allow me to stay here," Zachary responded.
Vivian's beautiful eyes narrowed. She knew that there was some conflict between Zachary and her brother. But in her eyes, these conflicts were just trivial and none of them would affect him at all.
