"Master Lagorio, it’s not that I do not want t o prolong the search, but we've been doing i t for months now. You know that the forest i s enchanted and dangerous. I didn't manage to go into its deepest parts, but we’ve scouted nearly every inch of the forest. If we don't find them, they’re most likely dead!”
Nash gave a bitter smile. "Lily wronged me, but Lance is still my son. Of course, I want him to be alive, and of course, I want to find him. Whether he follows me or Lily is up to him then. I will respect his decision!"
"Heh. You're just putting up a show. If I were you, I would have sent the Woods family members into the deepest woods to find him!"
Trenton chuckled, expression disdainful. "O r are the Woods family members afraid of dying?"
"It's not a question of fearing death.
Everybody knows that no one walks out of that forest alive. 1 don't want to throw the other family members' lives away just like that!"
"Why don’t you go in and look for him then since you love your grandson so much!" Nash snapped, the tips of ears reddening with fury. "I won't stop you!"
Fane could not help but frown as he took in all that was said. He never thought that a place as mysterious and dangerous as that existed in this world.
"All right. All right!"
At this moment, the old master of the Hunt family grew impatient. "Everybody is here today to participate in our competition which happens only once every three years. They are not here to see the two of your families fight," he interrupted. "Settle your disputes on your own. Don't let it affect today's competition!"
After Old Master Hunt said that, he turned toward Nash, "I'm curious as to what your illegitimate son looks like. I heard that he stole the heart of First Young Mistress Cabello not long after he came to Kobe city. He must have quite the charisma!"
The corners of Fane's mouth twitched. He stepped forward and did a fist-to-palm salute. "Greetings, Old Master Hunt. I am Fane Woods!"
