Chapter 332 This Boy Is Courting Death!
“You’re not welcome here. Go back home!”
A man with dark-brown hair said as he glared at Ethan in disdain.
He was one of Luna’s three older brothers, and his name was Erik.
Standing beside him was Luna’s Grandfather, Philip, who was also looking at the handsome young man as if he were a thief who had been caught stealing their family’s heirloom.
The two of them were blocking the gate of the Oswald Residence, preventing Ethan from coming in.
Of course, they didn’t mind opening the gate for Emma to enter, but the young lady insisted on staying beside her Master.
With great curiosity, she wondered how Ethan would deal with the way Luna’s family was treating him.
It wasn’t only Emma who was paying close attention to what was happening at the gates.
The rest of Luna’s family was huddled around the Family Table and looking at a crystal ball that was as big as a basketball ball.
“What a handsome young man,” Luna’s biological mother, Irene, commented with a smile. “My daughter has good taste.”
“Indeed,” Luna’s second mother, Briana, agreed from the side. “I can now see why Luna likes him.”
“Mmm. My Great-grandchildren are bound to look adorable with that kind of father,” Luna’s Grandmother, Rhea, smiled. “I can’t wait to hold them in my arms.”
Chloe, who was seated beside her best friend, couldn’t help but smile after hearing the comments of the ladies of her family.
Clearly, all the women in the family approved of the handsome young man, whom Luna had mentioned a lot in her letters.
The men in the family, however, didn’t like what they were hearing. However, they didn’t say anything and simply glared at the image of Ethan in the crystal ball.
“Still, I wonder how he will be able to bypass our two gatekeepers.” Briana chuckled. “Will he use force, or will he use intellect? This is his first test, and I’m looking forward to seeing how he will deal with it.”
Irene and Rhea nodded their heads at the same time. They approved of Ethan’s good looks. However, they had yet to know his personality.
Depending on how Ethan dealt with their family members, they would decide to either support him or join the men of their family in chasing him away.
Back at the Gates…
Seeing that the two men weren’t budging, Ethan knew that he had to use drastic measures in order to get past the two Guardians of the Oswald Family.
His Other Half had already told him that he was being spied upon using magic, so he assumed that the ones observing him were Luna’s family members.
Because of this, the young man couldn’t use force or anything that might hurt the two people in front of him.
He knew that the moment he did something like that, all the good graces that he might have already gotten from his lover’s family would disappear completely.
Erik and Philip were feeling smug because their plan was perfect. If Ethan used force against them, everyone in their family would hate him.
Of course, Erik and Philip had already prepared several contingency plans for how to deal with Ethan depending on what he would do next.
In fact, all the men of the Oswald Family previously had a meeting to discuss a fool-proof plan to ensure that Ethan would have a bad reputation with the ladies of their family.
They had already asked Rowan about Ethan’s character and used the information that was given to them to plan accordingly.
‘Foolish boy,’ Erik thought. ‘Does he really think that he can come here and ask for my sister’s hand in marriage? How naive!’
‘Haha! Want to take my granddaughter away from me?!’ Philip snorted. ‘This boy is courting death!’
Suddenly, Ethan raised his arm.
This gesture made all the members of the Oswald Family focus all their attention on him.
‘He’s finally going to use force!’ Erik laughed internally. ‘Good! Do it! I’ll even let myself get hit by you once!’
‘You’re finally showing your true character!’ Philip sneered as he took out his wand. ‘Let’s see what you can pull off, boy!’
Emma watched as her Master raised both of his hands, which were hanging loosely at the side of his body earlier.
However, just as everyone thought that he would summon his wand, Ethan did something very unexpected, which made Erik and Philip look at him in disbelief.
Ethan indeed raised his hands, but he did it so that he could remove the robe from his body.
He then handed the robe to Emma for safekeeping.
Erik had already summoned his wand because he thought that Ethan was preparing to duel with the two of them by removing his robe. However, instead of taking out his wand, the young man took his shirt off instead.
“… Huh?” Erik, who had taken a fighting stance, looked at Ethan in confusion.
Philip, who had already aimed at Ethan, was also dumbfounded with what he was seeing.
Ethan had removed all his upper clothes, exposing his deity-like physique to the two men in front of him, making them feel a bit inferior.
The young man then slowly ran his hands over his hair, subtly flexing his muscles, which infuriated the two Gatekeepers.
‘Motherf*cker!’ Erik cursed internally. ‘What is this bastard trying to do?!’
‘Damn, this boy sure is ripped,’ Philip thought. ‘He reminds me of myself when I was his age.’
After running his hands over his hair, Ethan lowered his hands and gave the two men his most dashing smile.
This made Luna and Chloe, who were looking at him through the Crystal Ball, blush due to how devilishly handsome he was.
Just as Erik and Philip were thinking about what they were supposed to do with the bastard in front of them, the door of the house opened.
Irene, Briana, and Rhea came out and walked toward the gates with smiles on their faces.
“Erik, Philip, why are you blocking the gates?” Rhea asked as she walked and then raised her walking stick, pointing it in their direction. “Is this how you treat our guests?! Do you want me to beat the crap out of the two of you so that you will learn some manners?!”
“You must be Ethan,” Briana said as she stepped past her son and father-in-law with a smile on her face. “Come. We have waited long enough for your arrival.”
“Young man, aren’t you feeling cold?” Irene asked. “Although the snow still hasn't fallen, the winds are very chilly. It will be best if you come inside the house to warm yourself up.”
“That’s right,” Briana nodded as she grabbed hold of Ethan’s arm. “Come and make yourself at home.”
“Indeed.” Irene patted Ethan’s shoulder while her gaze wandered over his amazing physique. “We have a lot of things to talk about.”
“Child, come and greet your grandma,” Rhea said as she walked towards Ethan with a fawning smile. “You plan to make Luna your fiancee, right? Perfect. I was feeling troubled because I could not find a good man for my granddaughter. It’s a good thing that she met you.”
The three ladies basically dragged Ethan toward their house without giving Erik and Philip a second glance.
Rhea even made a slashing finger over her neck, telling the two men that she would beat them up if they got in their way.
Emma was trying her hardest not to smile as she watched this scene. However, it was clearly impossible.
The method that her Master used was something that even she didn't expect, and it somehow worked out like a charm, making Erik and Philip look at each other with dumbfounded looks on their faces.
