Chapter 917: This Is My Last, And Final Warning
"Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?" Isabel asked in a teasing tone. "If you're a man, you must prove your worth. Why are you hiding behind your grandfather and your father-in-law? Is that your way of courting my daughter?"
Ethan smirked. "I forgot to add, Queen Celestia is also very fond of me. She once tried to drown the entire Shire Continent and make it sink into the sea. If I remember correctly, she mentioned that my enemies are her enemies.
"Lastly, why should I feel ashamed? If my background, family, and friends are enough to intimidate people, then I won't even need to raise my finger to get what I want. Isn't that the best?"
The corner of Isabel's and Gilbert's lips twitched seeing that, instead of feeling ashamed of himself, the young man added a Colossi to the list of his backers.
"You're really trying to intimidate us, huh?" Gilbert said solemnly.
"If you're still not feeling intimidated by now, there must be something very wrong with your family," Ethan replied in a casual tone. "Ah... I also know a Demigod. He is a Vampire Lord.
"A very ruly fellow. Maybe I should introduce him to Eastshire. But if that happens, everyone will need to start hiding their daughters because he likes to collect women."
Isabel and Gilbert were doing their best to remain calm, but the smiles on their faces had become stiff by now.
'Likes to collect girls? Isn't that something you like doing too? You and that Vampire Lord are of the same breed. Birds of the same feather flock together!'
Somewhere in Midgard...
"Achoo!" Godfrey sneezed. "That bastard Ethan must be cursing me right now."
Lilian, who understood that things might get out of control, lightly tugged on Ethan's shirt and shook her head.
Ethan nodded and gave her hand a light squeeze, telling her that he understood.
"I've said everything I need to say," Ethan stated. "I hope that the next time we meet, Lilian's father will be there to meet me. I'll say this right now. Don't try to separate us or get in the way of our happiness. This is my last and final warning."
Ethan would soon face the Fomorians in order to stop them before they could set foot in Eastshire, and he didn't know how long he would be away from the academy.
Lilian's parents might scheme behind his back while he was not there to protect her, so he wanted to tie up all loose ends before leaving.
The young lady hadn't told him anything about her family, but from what he had seen so far, her background wasn't simple.
Given the situation, he needed to make them understand that his background wasn't simple either.
With the Demon Lord, Beast King, and a Colossi backing him, very few would dare to actively antagonize him.
He had added Godfrey in the mix because having a Demigod as an acquaintance was a good thing.
Lilian's parents didn't need to know whether that Demigod was on good terms with Ethan or not.
He merely included Godfrey for added impact.
A Demigod might not be as strong as a Colossi and a Progenitor, but they were more active in the world, and tales of their might had been passed on from generation to generation.
Actually, the Chesmire Cat was believed to be one of those Demigods.
However, since the Black Chubby Cat looked harmless, not many people felt threatened by its existence.
"Out of curiosity, do you have another backer that you want to expose to us?" Isabel arched an eyebrow. "Since you've already mentioned those big shots, who are you going to call next? Are you going to say that a Progenitor is backing you this time?"
Isabel sneered at the young man. However, when she saw that Ethan was looking at her weirdly, a chill ran down her spine. For some reason, she didn't want to know the answer to her question.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Ethan hesitated for a bit before asking Isabel a question.
"Do you really want to know if a Progenitor is backing me?" Ethan asked with uncertainty.

Isabel and Gilbert no longer wished to talk to him. If the young man really said yes, they might just strip Lilian naked and tie a red ribbon around her body before presenting her to Ethan on a silver platter.
Who in their right mind would dare to offend a Progenitor?
A Colossi was already enough to threaten the entirety of the Shire Continent.
If a Progenitor made their move, wouldn't that be just bullying?
"Lilian, why don't you and Ethan take a stroll into the town?" Isabel pinched the bridge of her nose. "Come back before lunch. It has been a while since we've dined together."
"Yes, Mother," Lilian replied and pulled on Ethan's hand.
She then summoned her flying broom and sat on it.
Naturally, Ethan sat on the broom behind her and hugged her tight.
A few seconds later, they flew toward the city, so that Ethan would see the attractions in Lilian's hometown.
Five minutes later, a middle-aged man with short gray hair and gray eyes appeared behind them.
"Did you hear what we talked about earlier?" Isabel asked with a face filled with injustice.
"I did," Lilian's father replied.
"So are you still going to be stubborn?" Gilbert asked his son.
The gray-haired man sighed before shaking his head. Clearly, he had no intention of antagonizing Ethan at the moment.
"The kid sure has spunk," the gray-haired man commented. "He came armed to the teeth."
"Armed to the teeth with words." Isabel nodded. "Are you going to meet him today or not?"
"Not today," the gray-haired man replied.
"It's a good thing that Cedric informed us beforehand that they would be coming today," Gilbert commented. "If you weren't here to hear Ethan's words, you might have just brushed us off and not believed any words that we say."
"Right." Isabel nodded. "The fish my daughter caught is a huge catch. As a mother, I'm very happy for her. The only thing that I'm not too happy about is that he has many lovers. If not
for that, he would have been the perfect son-in-law."
Gilbert nodded because he was thinking the same thing.
How wonderful would it be if Ethan only had Lilian as his wife?
Unfortunately, this was no longer possible, so they could only accept that the young lady of the Raylight Family had already tied her destiny with that of the man she loved.
