Chapter 460 Proposal
Alpheus shook his head and said, “Mr. Lund, you were right in what you said earlier. My father was
indeed hanging by a thread. His days were numbered. Despite your best efforts to save him, it was still
impossible to turn things around. Perhaps this is just fate, and it’s not your fault, Mr. Lund.”
Upon hearing these words, Teagan and the others immediately felt even more dejected.
Why is Alpheus still making excuses for him? Who can really tell if he has truly done his best to help?
Alpheus paused for a moment, then continued, “Mr. Lund, may I be so bold as to ask, where is your
master, Friar Athos, now?”
Alpheus was now fully awake.
Perhaps what Athos was referring to as fate was not about Emrys being able to cure Samuel, but
rather some other opportunity.
Emrys certainly understood Alpheus‘ thoughts, but he still ruthlessly dashed his hopes, saying, “My
master is traveling abroad, and he won’t be coming to Jipsdale within these two years.”
Of course, Emrys made that up, but it wouldn’t be entirely accurate to say it was completely made up.
At least up until now, his master truly hadn’t made an appearance.
Alpheus‘ face changed color when he heard that.
No one would know what would become of the Langford family
in two years.

Alpheus was not satisfied. He continued to inquire, “Did Friar Athos ever mention anything about the
Langford family?”
Emrys pretended to ponder for a moment before saying, “No. It was Blanche who told me about your
father’s illness. I had no idea what my master had said about any opportunity. Perhaps it was just an
offhand remark!”
An offhand remark…
The muscles on Alpheus‘ face visibly twitched a few times.
The Langford family had always been waiting for this opportunity. However, now Emrys stated that this
so–called opportunity might have just been an offhand remark by Athos.
For the Langford family, this was an incredibly devastating blow.
Could they not rely on Athos anymore?
A sense of helplessness welled up within Alpheus.
Teagan said, “Alpheus, I’ve told you this guy is unreliable, but you’re still naive enough to believe
him…”
“Shut up!” Alpheus raised his voice once more. “Let’s focus on devising a strategy first!”
The room fell into silence.

A moment later, Teagan said, “Alpheus, actually, I have an idea.”
In an instant, everyone’s gaze shifted toward him.
After a moment of hesitation, Teagan said, “Actually, we can follow the Santana family’s example and
find a backer, like the White Dragon King. As far as I know, the White Dragon King has already ended
his cooperation with the Santana family, so I think…”
What came next didn’t need to be spelled out. Everyone understood them.
Teagan hoped that the Langford family would seek the support of the White Dragon King.
The faces of the Langford family members darkened. They were clearly dissatisfied with Teagan’s
proposal.
With a deep voice, Alpheus said, “Teagan, have you forgotten how our father ended up like this? The
White Dragon King is our family’s sworn enemy!”
Although the root cause of Samuel’s illness was that strange poison, the most direct trigger was his
encounter with the White Dragon King.
It was after that particular confrontation, which left Samuel severely injured, that he could no longer
suppress the poison within his body, leading to his condition becoming increasingly critical.
Saying that the White Dragon King was the enemy of the

Langford family wasn’t without reason.
This was also the reason why the members of the Langford family couldn’t accept this proposal.
Teagan stated, “There are only eternal interests, not eternal enemies. The reason why the White
Dragon King fought with Dad in the past was because he sided with the Santana family. Now that he
has severed ties with the Santana family, he is naturally no longer an enemy of the Langford family.”
Everyone fell silent once again.
The principle remained unchanged, but the fact remained that the White Dragon King had injured
Samuel.
The realization that the person whom the Langford family held in high regard was indirectly responsible
for Samuel’s death was sure to cause discomfort among the members of the Langford family.
Alpheus suggested, “Let’s put this proposal aside for now. Does anyone else have any better
suggestions?”
“Alpheus,” Eloise Thompson, Teagan’s wife, spoke up this time. “I believe we should start with Blanche.
Do you all still remember Gilbert Cunningham? Gilbert’s father is a minister of the Martial Arts Alliance
in Jipsdale. With the support of the Martial Arts Alliance, the Cunningham family managed to maintain
their position. I think it would be a good idea to arrange a marriage between Blanche and Gilbert. This
way, we would also gain the support of the Martial Arts Alliance.”
