"Don''t think I don''t know," Aesop growled coldly as he turned toward Frank, who was standing among


    the Turnbulls. "It''s that brat who''s been messing about and dying the wedding, hasn''t he? You


    Turnbulls can''t even discipline your children, allowing Ms. Turnbull to mess around with some unruly


    brat! For shame!"


    "That''s right!"


    Titus strode up when he heard Glen and Aesop arguing. "Vicky is my fiancee, and there''s no arguing


    about that. Not only did you Turnbulls fail to discipline her, but you allowed some stranger like him to


    show up on my wedding day too. This is a clear challenge to my family''s honor! Should we take this as


    a deration of war?!"


    "A deration of war?!"


    Everyone was silent at Titus'' words, with every Turnbull gulping in the distance.


    They could not imagine war against the Lionhearts at all—it would be a massacre if they went all out.


    And the Lionhearts had sent over a hundred bodyguards, each of them bearing the brand of Volsung


    Sect, meaning that they were at least vigor wielders. Moreover, Aesop was a peak Ascendant rank


    individual himself and was a famous man even in Morhen.


    If they really start a war against the Lionhearts now, the Turnbulls would be defenseless if those men


    leapt into action right away.


    With that, the Turnbulls started to reason with Glen.


    "Glen, just listen to the man. Let them have Vicky!"


    "Exactly. There''s no reason to upset the Lionhearts."


    "We''ve been friends with the Lionhearts for generations. And they''ve decided on today for so long—


    let''s just go with that."


    "Silence!" Glen bellowed at the lot of them.


    Being a man who could shoulder a dynasty like the Turnbulls, he was no fool—he could already see


    that something was unusual with the Lionhearts'' attitude.


    Why were they so eager to have the wedding carry on as scheduled? If anything, Glen''s excuse was


    perfectly eptable, yet not only did the Lionhearts refuse to listen, but they were also immediately


    threatening him with violence.


    It simply did not make sense... Unless what Frank said was true.


    The more Glen thought about it, the more he found the Lionhearts suspicious.


    With that, he looked up and braced himself against Aesop''s pressure and said coolly, "If it''s a war you


    want, then a war it shall be. Don''t think we Turnbulls are afraid of you!"


    His outburst left every Turnbull as shocked as they were confused.


    Why was Glen taking a tough stand against the Lionhearts? Was he really not afraid of Lionhearts


    getting physical right away?


    Meanwhile, Glen and Aesop held each other gazes in silence for an entire minute, with neither man


    flinching.


    Ultimately, it was Aesop who caved.


    "Pfft..." He snickered. "Oh, why so serious? It''s an auspicious day and I''m just kidding."


    "Yeah, it''s just a joke," Titus added in agreement, but he was ring coldly at Frank, unable to do a


    thing.


    Seeing that the Lionhearts backed down first, the Turnbulls were all sighing in relief—they would be


    helpless if the Lionhearts really went for it now.


    "I hope you understand." Glen nodded in turn. "It''s not a good day for us to receive guests. Give us a


    week, and we''ll wee you with open arms."

    "Not a problem." Aesop smiled. "There won''t be more dys like today, I presume?"


    "Absolutely." Glen puffed his chest with great confidence.
