Todd's Wedding
Chapter 150 Todd's Wedding (Part Two)
Jason asked Todd.
"Is that friend you mentioned really reliable?"
"There are rumors outside that our Blackwater family is just bluffing."
66
"Todd, tell me honestly, were those stories about Matthew fabricated lies by you?"
'
Before Todd could answer, the butler, Zack, chimed in.
"The Earl is right."
"I think, young master Todd, you've probably been deceived by that man named Matthew."
66
"After all, Mr. Todd, you've never seen Matthew do it himself."
"That person's deeds are nothing more than rumors you've heard."
66
"Maybe he really is a fraud."
Todd found it absurd and interrupted him decisively.
"impossible!
'
"Matthew is my best friend in the school."
66
"His strength is beyond doubt."
Todd had blind faith in Matthew.
He found the rumors circulating that he had fled utterly ridiculous.
Who is Matthew?
He is the man who defeated Angela and Leon.
The strongest apprentice of the Tidal School this year.
1700 degrees of witchcraft!
His strength is comparable to that of a formal wizard.
He'll run away? That's a complete joke.
Jason frowned, and his tone was quite impatient.
"So where is Matthew now?"
'
Why can't we find him?
'
Todd was speechless at the question.
Matthew's room has been empty for the past two weeks.
He searched for the other person for several days, but still couldn't find any trace of them.
Matthew seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Todd ordered his men to keep watch in Matthew's room, but they never received any news of his return.
Where is Matthew now?
This was also Todd's biggest question.
There are still some days before the witchcraft cruise ship docks.
Matthew was also a stranger in this place, and had no relatives.
Where can he go?
And they were gone for so many days...
Besides, Matthew has already agreed to attend his own wedding.
Given their relationship, it's impossible for the other party to leave without even saying goodbye.
"Sigh!" Jason sighed when he saw Todd remain silent.
Just as the three were getting anxious, a guard suddenly burst in.
"Reporting back to the Earl."
66
"The Earl of Snow Mountain has arrived and is waiting in the hall."
Jason, who was pacing back and forth in the room, suddenly stopped.
"I see."
"Come with me to greet Earl of the Snow Mountain."
66
"Remember not to give yourself away!"
'
Blackwater Castle Hall.
As soon as Earl Snow Mountain led his family members in, they attracted everyone's attention.
This place is mostly populated by royal nobles, feudal lords, and ministers of the Orn Empire.
Therefore, they knew each other, and many people took the initiative to greet Earl Snow Mountain.
Just then, Jason led Todd and the butler Zack into the hall from the other side.
Today is the wedding of Ash, daughter of the Earl of the Snowy Mountains, and Todd.
Therefore, the two groups are the main characters today, and everyone stepped forward to offer their congratulations.
At this moment, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes spoke up at an inopportune time.
"The Earl of Snow Mountain is truly blessed to be able to join forces with the Earl of Blackwater!"
66
"I heard that Todd is a novice wizard apprentice."
66
"And he also befriended a powerful senior apprentice!"
'
Upon hearing this, the previously lively atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold.
Everyone in the hall had their own channels for gathering information.
These events within the Blackwater family had already spread by now.
Todd, the son of Earl of Blackwater, fabricated a powerful friend who did not exist in order to arrange a marriage with the Snow Mountain family.
Of course, many people also believe that this powerful friend did not fabricate it intentionally.
Rather, Todd was deceived by the man, mistakenly believing him to be a powerful wizard apprentice.
However, all of them agreed that Todd was an idiot.
No wonder he was abandoned by his school of thought and sent to explore other worlds.
Jason heard what the young man with thick eyebrows said.
Although his face didn't show any abnormality, he couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed.
This young man was named Dick, and he was a notorious playboy.
Jason was surprised that the royal family would send him to act as their representative this time.
"It seems the royal family harbors resentment towards our alliance with the Earl of Snow Mountain."
66
"They deliberately sent Dick, this spoiled brat, to cause trouble and give us a warning."
66
Just then, Earl of Snow Mountain suddenly spoke up and asked a question.
"I'm quite curious too."
"Where is that powerful wizard apprentice that Prince Dick just mentioned?"
'
"He's a friend of Todd's, so he'll probably be at the wedding."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall turned their gaze to Jason and his son, secretly thinking that there was going to be a good show.
At that moment, Todd answered first.
"My friend is a research fanatic."
"He is currently conducting an important study."
66
"This is a crucial moment, so he can't get away."
"Please forgive me, Father-in-law."
After hearing his words, Earl of Snow Mountain nodded noncommittally.
He didn't show any surprise, as if he had expected it all along, and at the same time, he had made up his mind.
"That's a real shame."
Seeing this, most of the people present secretly shook their heads.
What time is it and they're still bluffing?
The scandals of the Blackwater family have been widely circulated. Do they really think everyone is stupid?
However, none of the people present pointed this out.
They were just secretly mocking the old fox, Earl of Snow Mountain, for actually suffering a loss.
But then a sudden voice rang out.
"What a research fanatic!"
'
"You are a bunch of liars who betrayed our family's trust."
The speaker was Jarvis, the youngest son of the Earl of Snow Mountain.
During this time, he had already heard these rumors about the Blackwater family.
The Blackwater family is now in dire straits, having been targeted by Earl of the Golden Lion.
They actually resorted to such despicable means to deceive their own family.
Therefore, he had repeatedly advised his father not to marry into this group of swindlers.
But each time, the Earl of Snow Mountain replied with a negative response.
Jarvis couldn't understand why his father insisted on a marriage alliance with the Blackwater family.
Didn't he know that group of people were scammers?
Jarvis simply couldn't stand his sister marrying a conman, so he was determined to expose the truth today, regardless of his reputation.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people in the room varied, some snickering, some showing sympathy, but most were gloating.
Dick's lips curled up; he had originally intended to add fuel to the fire.
Unexpectedly, the youngest son of the Earl of Snow Mountain took the initiative to expose the matter.
That was absolutely brilliant!
Jarvis, don't be rude!
'
Earl of Snow Mountain angrily rebuked his youngest son.
"But Father..."
'
Jarvis froze under the Earl of Snow Mountain's glare, swallowing back all the words he was about to say.
Earl of Snow Mountain then withdrew his gaze and looked apologetically at Jason and his son.
"Sorry, Jason..."
'
"The child is young and doesn't understand things. I hope it won't affect the friendship between our two families!"

Earl Jason wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The question he least wants to answer right now is about Matthew's whereabouts.
Not only did others have doubts about this, but even Todd himself wondered if he had been deceived.
