Chapter 663
“The sole survivor?” Dustin and Natasha exchanged a look of surprise. It was truly astonishing to them
that the Dark Lord was also a Harmon! And not only that, but one from the same ancestry! No wonder
he knew so many of their secrets.
“The three branches stemmed from the same ancestry, but due to the Dark Lord’s selfishness, he went
so far as to harm his kinsmen. How inhumane!” Natasha slammed her hand on the table out of
frustration. She was even more irked after learning about the truth. She could have been more
understanding if their current predicament had been caused by some deep grudge between both
parties, but to think it was all because of a treasure map? The Dark Lord actually assassinated
members of the Harmon family for so many years, all for a mere map? He was extremely deranged!
“Men’s greed is endless. The temptation of the treasure is immense, and the Dark Lord will never back
off till he gets his hands on them,” Hector said.
“One of the three branches has already disappeared, which means that a part of the map is missing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven if the Dark Lord manages to obtain our part of the map through all his vile schemes, what use has
he of it? Isn’t it pointless?” Natasha asked coldly. The Dark Lord would not be able to find the treasure
with an incomplete map. From how Natasha saw it, he was only caught up in his wishful thinking.
“The Dark Lord has been blinded by greed. He has long since lost all sense of rationality. When you
become the next leader of the family, I’ll personally hand our part of the map to you. When the time
comes, you must protect it to the best of your ability,” Hector said solemnly.
“No, you hold on to your position as the patriach. I’m not interested in it.” Natasha waved her hands
dismissively. The treasure map was no doubt troublesome. If she were to take over, she could only
begin to imagine the problem she’d have to deal with.
“Alright, we’ll discuss this in the future. I don’t want to force you into anything, either. The most pressing
matter at hand is to defeat the Dark Lord Hector continued after a pause, “For the next three days, just
stay put in the Harmon estate. Don’t go running around lest we get singled out. I’ll hire some skilled
martial artists to back us up. If the Dark Lord shows up, he’ll be walking straight into our trap.”
“No matter the price, we must get ahold of the Dark Lord this time round to put an end to things!”
Natasha narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.
The Dark Lord had placed huge pressure on the Harmon family and needed to be dealt with as soon as
possible. However, the problem was that he hid himself too well and never revealed his identity. Now
that the chance finally presented itself, the Harmons were definitely not going to let it pass without
taking action.
“Mr. Harmon…” Just then, Jack entered after knocking on the door.
“What is it?” Hector looked up at him.
“Someone has requested to meet you, sir. They claim to be disciples of the Invincible Guardians.”
“The Invincible Guardians?” Hector was pleasantly surprised. “They’re here so soon? Quick, show
them in.”
“Yes, sir, Jack said and swiftly left.
“Dad, who are the Invincible Guardians? Why have I never heard of them?” Natasha asked, curious,
“The Invincible Guardians is a huge guild in Glenstead. However, they prefer to keep a low profile, and
since you’re not a part of the martial world, it’s only natural that you’ve never heard of them before,”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHector explained.
“Did you invite them here?” Natasha probed.
“Yes, I have some connections with the guild master of the Invincible Guardians. After I learned about
the Dark Lord’s intentions last night, I immediately contacted him. Never expected them to be here so
soon, though,” Hector chuckled.
The Invincible Guardians were well-known in the martial world. Though they were few in number, every
one of their members was a genius of exceptional talent. With their help, Hector felt the Harmons would
stand a greater chance of going against the Dark Lord.
“Mr. Harmon, they are here.” As they were conversing, Jack returned with three people behind him.
Two young women and a young man, all wearing white attire with a long sword on each of their backs.
Their gazes were sharp, and they carried themselves with extraordinary demeanor.
“Caelus Amos, senior disciple of the Invincible Guardians, at your service, Mr. Harmon!” The young -
man in white greeted Hector the moment he came in through the door.
However, when his gaze fell on Natasha, his eyes lit up.
“What a beauty! She’s incredibly beautiful!” he thought.
