Upon hearing Savannah's words, Matthias and the others present looked at Lachlan with embarrassment.
"Savannah, what nonsense are you talking about?" Raul's face darkened as he scolded her in annoyance.
Matthias looked apologetic and turned to Lachlan. "Mr. Willis, please don't be angry! We've spoiled her too much, she didn't mean it!"
Lachlan waved his hand dismissively. "I know, it doesn't matter."
However, Savannah sneered. "That's exactly what I meant! What's wrong? Grandpa and Dad, how could you even think of having me marry him? In my eyes, he's just a mediocre person with a powerful background! With such good cultivation conditions, he is only an intermediate-level expert in Uppecia! Such a person is not worthy of being my husband!"
"In my mind, my husband should have an extraordinary appearance! Even if they don't have any background themselves, they must be capable!"
"Not like someone who can only rely on the protection of their family elders and has no ability to protect themselves outside."
"Savannah, shut up!" Matthias' face turned cold as he angrily reprimanded his daughter.
Raul also slammed the table. "Savannah you can leave now!"
Nora pouted angrily and shouted, "You're talking nonsense! My daddy is not mediocre!"
Lachlan smiled indifferently. "Miss Graham, you don't need to get so worked up or speak so harshly towards me. I have no ulterior motives towards you."
"Apologize to Mr. Willis, Savannah! And then go reflect on your actions!" Matthias ordered sternly.
In their eyes, Lachlan had a much stronger background than the Graham family. Savannah had angered him so they didn't want her to offend Lachlan for real.
Savannah was gifted from birth which made her look down upon everyone else. She admired only strong people among peers. Even when she was asked by other martial arts families for marriage, she disregarded them all. This caused the Graham family many enemies.
Today, Matthias had already wished his daughter well before meeting Lachlan. He told her that Lachlan's background was even stronger than those martial arts heirs before. Little did he know that this girl still acted this way. Matthias and Raul regretted calling Savannah out today.
Savannah snorted in disdain, "Am I wrong? Mr. Willis, if you have the guts, let's compete. If you win against me, I'll marry you. What do you say?"
Hearing this, Raul angrily scolded her, "Nonsense! Mr. Willis was seriously injured before and cannot compete with you."
Savannah rolled her eyes and provocatively looked at Lachlan.
This girl had been patiently serving tea and pouring wine for Lachlan earlier with a submissive attitude but she was already unhappy about it.
Lachlan shrugged his shoulders and casually nodded his head in agreement, "Yes! Miss Graham, you're right! You are exceptionally talented and strong. I surrender."
Don't joke like that... How can I marry you if I win? It's not something that I can afford...
"You…" Savannah challenged him aggressively but it seemed like she gained nothing.
Matthias couldn't help but sigh as he spoke. Raul also showed a hint of worry...
The elders of the Graham family present, including Savannah, all had solemn expressions on their faces.
"Dad, grandpa, don't worry! I will definitely keep our qualification for our clan in this Clan Grand Competition!" Savannah gritted her teeth.
Matthias' youngest son Declan looked ashamed and embarrassed as he hung his head low. Matthias glared at his son before saying with a bitter smile, "I'm not afraid Mr. Willis will laugh at us; our younger generation in the family is really disappointing! Although Savannah has outstanding talent among us young people in the family who can make it through... Declan and other young descendants... let's not talk about them! In order to maintain membership status in the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance, each clan must have at least two young descendants pass each Clan Grand Competition so... we're probably in danger this time around."
As he spoke, Matthias looked deeply at Lachlan with an expression that seemed somewhat probing.
"Oh?" Lachlan raised an eyebrow but remained calm as if he didn't understand what Matthias meant.
Matthias coughed before saying, "According to regulations, even wanderers can participate; those who perform exceptionally well may even be noticed by larger hidden forces and recruited into their sects. Mr. Willis, since you left your clan for experience outside, I think perhaps this could also be an opportunity for you."
Lachlan smiled lightly and said, "Being recruited into someone else's sect doesn't interest me."
"Of course!"
Matthias nodded. "So, Mr. Willis, would you be interested in playing on behalf of the Graham family?"
