Female Novel
Chapter 330
“I… You…” Gunnar was rendered at a loss for words.
“And you, Madam Wilkerson. You’ll see Olivia when it’s time. What do you think you’re doing now,ordering us? Or are you accusing us of tearing your family apart?”
“No, Mr. Travis, you’ve misunderstood!” Leah hurriedly waved her hands, denying it. After all, shecouldn’t afford to offend Colby.
Hmph! Colby snorted disdainfully in response and left.
Meanwhile, Leah and Gunnar glared daggers at the retreating figure.
You f*cking b*stard! So what if you’re stronger than us?! Look at that smug face! So be it that youintervened in our conflict with Hofstead and the others before taking Olivia away, but how dare you alsospeak condescendingly to us?!
The two of them cursed the Travises, believing the family was bullying them. However, they hadforgotten the fact that they behaved even more outrageously while facing Olivia and Thomas, whoseemed weaker than them. Now, the way the Travises were treating them was merely karma bitingback at them.
Gunnar sat down grimly. Being the Genius of Capitalis, he was showered with countless favors sincehe was little. When had he ever been confronted like this before?! However, his father had yet to arrive.He was just the vanguard of his family, bringing some of his family’s fighters to explore the situation.Without his father to back him up, he dared not make a fuss.
They were in the territory of the Travis Family of Capitalis. Who was to say the Travises wouldn’t buryhim here if he pissed them off?!
Soon after, Theodore arrived with Quincy’s students and friends. However, unlike the Flynns andWilkersons, they didn’t bring any fighters with them.
After all, the Travises had said they’d be responsible for picking out the participants for the battle.Theodore and the others were naturally at ease. With the Travises personally arranging theparticipants, the Flynn and Wilkersons would have nothing on them.
“Hofstead’s dogs have arrived,” Gunnar whispered, and Leah glanced icily toward the newcomers.Seeing that they appeared relaxed as if they didn’t care about the upcoming battle, she couldn’t helpbut sneer. “Nothing but a bunch of arrogant fools. Let them laugh for now. They’ll be crying soonenough!”
After all, she had told the fighters from her family to go all out and kill their opponents in the battlearena later.
Another hour passed, and both sides had almost assembled their team members. Reuben had alsoarrived and was glaring at Theodore and his group with Gunnar.
Theodore and his group, on the other hand, completely ignored the Flynns’ threatening gazes, chattingand scrolling through their phones happily.
“Wait, where are the two old Morton and Peralta geezers?” Leah pointed out immediately after realizingthe two were absent.
“I don’t know.” Reuben shook his head. “The way I see it, they’re probably scared, realizing they wouldface severe consequences if they offend us. Hahaha!”
Indeed, the Flynns and Wilkersons weren’t weak, and to win this battle, they each readied threefighters. With their forces combined, they were confident that their opponents would have no way offighting back, regardless of who was sent into the arena.
Meanwhile, on the second-floor balcony of Travis Residence, Olivia clenched her fists, her face flushedand brows furrowed as she gazed at the battle arena inside the estate.novelbin
“Don’t worry, Olivia. They can’t win!” Gwen comforted her.
Olivia shook her head in response. “I’m pissed, Gwen. I’m a human being with autonomy! It should bemy freedom and right to decide whom I want to marry. Why should they gamble with me like an object?Isn’t this plain ridiculous?!”
Sigh! Gwen sighed helplessly. Of course, she knew how disrespectful this was to Olivia, but what couldthey do? This society was inherently a survival of the fittest. If one lacked strength and power, onecould only be at the mercy of others. Being treated as an object was considered relatively good, for itmeant that the person was still worth something. In this world, many were even unqualified to bedeemed as objects.
Just then, Colby walked over. “Miss Pearson, our men will escort you back to Irieson after the battle isover.”
Olivia’s eyes twinkled upon hearing the good news, expressing her excitement. But very quickly, sheregained her composure. “I’m truly grateful for you and your family, Colby, but I managed to contact myman last night. He said he’ll be picking me up today. I’ll be absolutely safe with him around. I shall nottrouble your family further.”
Olivia and Gwen’s relationship developed rapidly over the past few days. Olivia was grateful to Gwen,and the latter genuinely liked the unadulterated Olivia. Thus, they had already considered each otheras true sisters, not just in formality but in the true sense.
“Your man?” Colby and Gwen exchanged glances in response, and a name appeared in both of theirheads—Thomas Clifford.
A man who single-handedly turned the whole of Irieson upside down, even annihilating two of the SixGreatest Families of Irieson with thunderous methods!
Colby parted his lips, eager to confirm with Olivia if her man was indeed the legendary Thomas Clifford.However, he couldn’t bring himself to say them even when the words reached his lips.
With that, he left the balcony. The battle was about to begin, and he still had arrangements to make.Besides, as a grown man, it wasn’t appropriate for him to pry into a girl’s private matters.
Gwen, on the other hand, had no such reservations. With a mischievous grin, she asked Olivia, “Olivia,when you mentioned your man just now, you were referring to Thomas Clifford, right?”
Olivia’s cheeks turned rosy from bashfulness. She said nothing, implicitly confirming it.
At that, a look of surprise flashed in Gwen’s eyes, and she scrutinized Olivia again. If she wasn’tmistaken, Olivia should still be chaste. However, weren’t Olivia and Thomas in a romantic relationship?Thomas had such great abilities that he could easily withstand the Six Greatest Families of Irieson.What was there to worry about? With beauty like Olivia’s, what normal man could resist her?!
“Come on, Olivia, tell me your story with Thomas!” Gwen was in gossip mode at this point.
“Oh, but there’s nothing to talk about.” Olivia lowered her head, looking as if she wanted to bury it in theground like an ostrich.
“Come on, aren’t we sisters?” Gwen pretended to be upset. “I’m going to be upset if you won’t even tellme something like this. Am I even your sister?”
