Mr. Cornelius, her father, looked at her with displeasure and said, "Why are you crying? I believe that if a young man like Jenson can attain high-level martial arts skills even though he just started practicing martial arts, it'll be only a few years before h e surpasses you."
Whitney put on an arrogant expression. "Dad, I found you a pretty outstanding son-in-law, didn't I?"
Mr. Cornelius was speechless. "It's still too early to rejoice. Things aren’t even taking shape yet. When he returns to his extravagant life in Imperial Capital, he will meet all sorts of young women, and when he looks at you again, he will only see a girl who just knows how to fight all day. I doubt he will find you attractive at all."
Whitney looked dejected. "What should I do then?"
Mr. Cornelius frowned when he saw his daughter's assertive posture. "There's a way to do this. I will keep him in Legendary Youth Academy for you. If Jenson grows up without interacting with other girls, he will have no choice but to marry you."
Whitney’s beautiful face was about to tear up. "Why does that sound so sad, Dad? If you put it that way, that means Jenson will be marrying me because he
doesn’t have a choice and not because he likes me."
As both father and daughter spoke, they heard someone exclaiming in a thunderous voice, "We have lost and we admit defeat. From now on, you, Jenson Ares, will be our big brother."
"Big Brother! Big Brother! Big Brother!"
Jenson stood in the center of the training ground covered in blood, his eyes appearing dark and calm. "Mm."
He then dragged his injured body to Mr. Cornelius. "I'd like to challenge you, Mr. Cornelius."
Mr. Cornelius stroked his chin and said astutely, "The exit examination will take place in just a few more days, Jens. You're challenging me today just to test how good I am, right? Listen, you can't beat me, so there’s no need to waste your energy."
"I insist on trying."
Mr. Cornelius nodded helplessly.
Whitney exhorted her dad. "Don't hurt Jens, Dad."
Mr. Cornelius answered Whitney with another question, "What if he hurts me?"
