"Brother Sean!"
In the cold and eerie morgue, Caesre saw Sean, who had been struck back by a single blow, and his eyes instantly turned red.
Gaylen's face was solemn. "Mr. Goffe, what should we do now?"
He originally thought that with the intervention of Sean, who had reached the Yellow Realm perfection, Carver would undoubtedly die. However, now that Sean was killed by Carver immediately upon arrival, and his body provocatively sent back, Gaylen felt anger and helplessness, realizing that Carver was even more formidable than he had imagined.
"I must have him dead!" Caesre gritted his teeth, full of murderous intent and hatred. "Wait for me to inform several senior brothers and sisters. Brother Sean was ambushed and killed by Carver. They are all existences in the Profound Realm. Once they take action, I don't believe Carver can survive."
Gaylen's eyes lit up. "Are you referring to others? How long until they arrive?"
Caesre suppressed his anger and said, "It will probably take a few days."
Hearing that it would take a few days, Gaylen felt some concern but didn't dare to rush, "Then, for these days, I will cause Carver some trouble to distract him from dealing with us."
Unaware that Carver would take the initiative fifteen days before the scheduled time.
...
One night passed.
Early in the morning, Carver received a call from Adela, inviting him to attend Nina's engagement banquet. Unable to prevent his parents from going, Carver agreed on a time with them.
Then, he asked Giselle to check on the movements of the Clement Family and what arrangements they made after seeing Sean's body.
Soon, Giselle received feedback, "Gaylen cremated Sean's body overnight and did nothing else. He even stayed in the hospital without going out."
"But according to my speculation, he may have asked for help from Caesre again. Be careful in the coming days!"
"Because if more people come, it's likely to be the remaining four elites of the Goffe family. They are all experts in the Profound Realm. The eldest brother, Fancy Goffe, is said to be only one step away from the Earth Realm!"
Carver smiled indifferently, "Let them come. Regardless of who comes, it won't change my determination to destroy the Clement Family!"
But Giselle was still worried, "Carver, should I have my grandfather invite Master Jack Sher to come over? He is one of the Five Excellences, and as a student of grandmaster Joyce Brian in the Earth Realm, he currently has the cultivation of the mid-stage Earth Realm."
"No need. Even if Yama Goffe himself comes, it won't change my goal."
At this time, Cecilia happened to call.
Carver gestured for Giselle to contact him if needed and answered the call.
As soon as he answered, Cecilia's reproachful voice came, "Carver, do you still want to pursue me or not?"
Not wanting to be questioned so early in the morning, Carver was a bit confused, "Wife, what's wrong?"
"Don't call me wife; I'm just an outsider."
"..."
Seeing that the grievances were quite substantial, Carver used his limited experience to soothe her, "Wife, I was wrong. But can you tell me first, where did I go wrong so I can correct it?"
Carver's proactive apology evidently worked. Cecilia's tone softened a bit as she said, "I just found out that your family was forcibly demolished. Why didn't you tell me? Let me arrange a place for Auntie and the others?"
So, it turned out she was upset because he concealed the fact that his family was forcibly demolished.
Carver sighed inwardly, thinking she was a silly girl, and said, "No need. I've already made arrangements for the place to stay. I just opened a hotel in advance, and I can't bear to waste it. Afterward, I'll take them to the new house."
"That's good." Cecilia's tone noticeably lightened, but there was still a hint of resentment, "But do you still want to pursue me?"
Here they go again.
Carver, with a headache, said, "Wife, what's wrong with me again?"
"What day is it today?"
Hearing this, Carver's brain quickly rotated, instantly realizing what was going on, "Wife, today is Saturday. I was thinking of inviting you to go shopping and have dinner. But my cousin's engagement banquet is at noon, and I have to go with my parents. I'm planning to invite you in the afternoon or evening."
"Do you want me to go to your cousin's engagement banquet?"
"So soon, do you already want to acknowledge relatives? Does this mean you've accepted me?"
"Of course not. You still need to work hard."
Talking about Cecilia, Carver said, "No need, the relationship between my family and my eldest uncle's family is not very good. If it weren't for my parents caring about this bit of family affection, I wouldn't even want to go. So, you don't need to go either!"
Cecilia probably heard something from Cornelia, nodded, and said, "Okay, then wait for your call."
After ending the call, Carver rubbed his temples, "This dating stuff is more troublesome than studying medicine and cultivation."
It only takes a moment of neglect to make a girlfriend angry.
...
Around ten o'clock, according to the agreed time, Carver went to the hotel to pick up his parents and took a taxi to the Golden Crown Hotel.
On the way, Adela exclaimed, "Nina may not have a high education or strong abilities, but her luck is really good. She's marrying into the wealthy Hartley family!"
Brett smiled and said, "Don't say that. Nina is still very beautiful. I didn't expect her to be engaged to the Hartley family, even if it's just a branch."
Thinking about the encounter with Colin earlier, Carver asked, "Mom, is Nina's fiancé from the Hartley family of the Ronnie Group?"
"Yes, he is. I don't know if your cousin has accepted him yet. Although he's just from a branch of the Hartley family."
Thinking of the encounter with Colin, Carver asked, "Mom, is Nina's fiancé from the Hartley family of the Ronnie Group?"
"Yes, he is. I don't know if your cousin has accepted him yet. Although he's just from a branch of the Hartley family."
Carver's mind suddenly became interesting. If the Larsen family did anything outrageous again, he might be able to take advantage of Ronnie's impending illness and ruin this engagement.
Of course, it's better not to do such unethical things unless the cousin's family goes too far.
As they thought about it, Carver suddenly felt interesting.

Hearing that Colin was indeed from the Hartley family, Carver felt a little more intrigued. He suddenly thought that if the Larsen family did something outrageous again, he might be able to take advantage of Ronnie's impending illness and ruin this engagement.
Of course, it's better not to do such unethical things unless the cousin's family goes too far.
At this time, Stacey thought of something and said to Carver, "By the way, after you left yesterday, I chatted with your Aunt Donne. She is very interested in having you as her son-in-law. She wants to marry her daughter, Peggy Joyner, to you. If you really don't like Cornelia's senior sister, you can pursue Peggy Joyner!"
Bringing up this matter, Brett also agreed, "If you don't like Cornelia's senior sister, you should consider Peggy Joyner! She grew up with you, and both families know each other well. The conditions are also similar."
Not wanting to talk about his own lifelong matters again, Carver said helplessly, "Dad, Mom, I treat Peggy Joyner as my sister, and I really don't have any thoughts about her. Moreover, I already have a goal. After some time, when I catch up with her, I'll bring her back to meet you."
Thinking about bringing Cecilia back after she agreed, Carver felt secretly delighted at the surprised expressions of his parents.
Stacey asked, "Who is it?"
"You and Dad will know when the time comes. She's a very nice girl."
The couple looked at each other, and Stacey said, "Since you have a goal, strive for it. But you must open your eyes wide and find someone with a similar background to have common ground and ensure a lasting relationship."
Brett echoed, "Your mom is right. Don't settle, but also don't reach too high. It's best to find someone suitable."
