Chapter 337 A Battle Worth Fighting For [Part 1]

“You put the bait here, like this,” Philip taught his granddaughter how to put the bait on the fishing hook.

Instead of using worms, they were using corn kernels as bait.

“Luna, I’m an expert when it comes to fishing,” Chloe bragged as she patted her chest. “You can ask me anything when it comes to fishing.”

Ethan smiled as he gave his cousin a sidelong glance. He also put a corn kernel on his fishing hook.

Chloe liked to fish, so she developed a knack for it. Whenever she and Ethan went fishing, she would always be the one who would catch more fish between the two of them.

The lake had a wooden platform where the locals stayed whenever they fished.

Currently, they were the only people around, so it was the perfect time to catch fish at their leisure.

“Let’s play a game,” Chloe proposed to Ethan. “The one who catches the most fish in an hour gets to order the one with the lowest catch. How about it?”

“You’re on,” Ethan agreed with a smile. “Don’t think that you will win this time around.”

Chloe smirked because she felt that her win was already in the bag. However, before they could officially start their competition, Luna and Emma spoke up and asked to join as well.

Although it was Luna’s first time to go fishing, she wanted to join the fun. Also, she believed that none of them would bully her even if she were the one who caught the least among them.

The four teenagers then threw their hooks at the same time, watching them fall into the lake water.

With Ethan’s ability, he could easily win this competition. But since he wanted to enjoy this moment, he didn’t play dirty and simply allowed nature to take its course.

Suddenly, one of the lines bobbed on the water.

To their surprise, the one who managed to get a bite was none other than Luna, who was learning to fish for the first time.

“W-What should I do?” Luna stuttered as she tried to pull the line towards her.

“Use the reel to pull the fish close to you,” Chloe said as she stuffed her fishing hook in Ethan's hand in order to help her best friend. “You do it like this.”

The young lady guided the hand of her best friend as she helped her reel her first catch, making Luna smile from ear to ear.

But the fish was still struggling on her fishing hook, and she felt quite anxious about touching it.

Fortunately, Chloe was there to help her remove the hook from the fish. She then dropped it into the bucket filled with water.

Luna watched as the fish she caught swam around the bucket, making her feel giddy.

‘This is fun,’ Luna thought as she once again placed a corn kernel on her fishing hook before throwing it into the lake a second time.

Not even a minute had passed, yet she already caught another fish, making Ethan and Chloe blink at the same time.

Luna, who already knew what to do, reeled the fish in and raised it out of the water.

This time, it was her Grandpa who took the fish from the hook and placed it in the water bucket.

Ten minutes later, there were already four fish swimming in the bucket, and all of them were caught by Luna.

“Strange,” Chloe said as she scratched her head. “Why aren't any fish biting my lure?”

Another ten minutes passed, and Luna caught two more fish, raising her catch count to seven.

Emma had managed to catch her first fish during this time, while Ethan and Chloe still had zero.

For some reason, Bruce, Philip, Dennis, and Erik were also unable to catch any fish, making them frown.

Only an hour had passed since their competition started, but Luna had already caught twelve fish.

Emma caught four.

Chloe caught two.

Ethan, on the other hand, caught nothing.

The young man could only smile bitterly and accept his fate.

Fortunately, the one who won was Luna.

If it were Chloe, he didn’t know what kind of order she would ask of him, making him feel relieved.

Seeing that everyone was having fun, Bruce signaled the men of his family with his eyes.

All of them nodded their heads at the same time and executed their plan.

“Young ladies, why don’t you bring the fish back to the house so that Irene and Briana can cook them for lunch?” Bruce asked. “Us boys will just have some fun and return at lunchtime.”

Before Luna could protest, Ethan stepped in and gave her hand a light squeeze.

“Sounds like a good plan, Father,” Ethan replied. “I’ll be very happy to accompany you to have fun.”

He then gave Luna a look of reassurance.

‘Don’t worry, I’ll be fine,’ Ethan said to Luna and Chloe through telepathy, using the ability of the Guardian Ring. ‘Trust me on this one.’

Seeing his gaze, Luna reluctantly nodded her head. ‘Be careful, okay?’

‘I will,’ Ethan replied. ‘Go first, and make sure to cook me a delicious lunch as a reward.’

‘Hey, shouldn’t you be the one giving me a reward?’ Luna pouted. ‘I was the one who won the competition after all.’

‘Okay, I’ll give you a reward later.’

‘Good.’

Although Chloe and Emma were reluctant to leave, they trusted that Ethan would be able to return safely.

The three girls then flew back to the Oswald Residence on their flying brooms.

Only when all of them were out of sight did the four men confront Ethan with their arms crossed over their chest.

“I admire your courage for not hiding behind my daughter’s skirt,” Bruce stated. “You sure made a fool of us last night. Did that girl, Emma, help you?”

Ethan smiled. Instead of answering Bruce’s question, he instead asked a question on his own.

“Father, I am seriously in love with Luna,” Ethan declared. “I want her to become one of my wives in the future.”

“Hoh… did you just say wives?” Philip sneered. “I knew it. Emma is also one of your girlfriends, huh?”

“Not only her,” Ethan replied. “Chloe as well.”

“What?!” Dennis frowned. “Chloe as well? Isn’t she your cousin?”

Ethan nodded. “Yes. But we’re not related by blood. I’m an adopted child.”

“Hmph!” Erik snorted. “So you already have other lovers aside from my sister. Did you use love potions on them or something, you scum?”

“I didn’t use any dirty tricks to make them fall in love with me,” Ethan replied. “Also, I know that whether I had other lovers or not, you would still get in the way of my relationship with Luna. So, I have a proposal.”

Ethan scanned the faces of the four people who were glaring in his direction.

“Fight me four versus one,” Ethan stated. “If you win, I will no longer pursue Luna. But if all of you lose, you will acknowledge me as your son-in-law, Father.”

“Hahaha!” Bruce laughed. “I see. So this is why you didn’t follow them back to the residence. You were planning to fight us all by yourself. I don’t know if you are bold or stupid. I am leaning more on the latter though.”

Ethan stared at his father-in-law with a solemn look on his face.

“So, Father, will you accept the deal or not?” Ethan asked. “All of you can fight me at the same time. Or are all of you scared of fighting against a mere Dud?”

“Mere Dud, my butt!” Philip scoffed. “You think I believe that nonsense? I can see it in your eyes. Even if it is four of us against you, you still believe that you will be the one who will win. Your courage reminds me of my younger self when I was your age. I used to be very confident in my abilities as well.”

Ethan took out his wand and summoned his Sea God’s Trident, raring to finally end this conflict with his in-laws.

The four men also took out their wands, as they faced off against one another.

“We won’t hold back, so don’t come crying on us later,” Bruce stated. “I don’t want to hear any nonsense that you are going back on your word after we beat the crap out of you.”

“Don’t worry, Father,” Ethan replied. “That won't happen.”

Ethan tapped his chest, and a pair of Fairy Wings grew out of his back. He then flew toward the center of the lake, baiting the men of the Oswald Family, who followed after him without a second thought.
