Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld -
Chapter 228 Do You Know What Love Is?
At this moment, there came a loud noise from one of the paths. Soon after, horses galloped out, and every person on horseback was dressed in pristine traditional white clothing. Their black hair was long and their features were delicate. They appear as if they've stepped out of a fairy tale, like mythical sprites. Perhaps that was the temperament they developed after living in the valley that was far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
On the back of the horse in the front was Martin, who was currently the eldest in the tribe. After the death of the Divine Doctor Robert Johnson, everyone took Martin as their new leader.
Though he was over seventy years old, his skin was tight, his eyes sharp and bright, and he had a youthful appearance.
The love bell was hung on each horse's neck, emitting a pleasing sound whenever the horse moved. It sounded like an ancient song...
Sylvester was shocked by the scene.
He stared in disbelief as he ran his eyes over those people. Martin saw Lela from a distance, and his eyes lit up. His voice resounded, saying, "Sarah." The members of Lela's tribe called her Sarah usually.
Lela turned her head and saw the people from her tribe. They were her family. She held Sylvester's hand and waved. "Mr. Lambert," she called out.
Martin held the horsewhip and pulled ropes, urging his horse to gallop...
"Go!" Martin commanded.
The horse raised its head and let out a howl as it sprinted forward...
The others looked joyfully at the scene and followed behind Martin, riding their horses towards Lela.
Martin dismounted from his horse and saw Lela being embraced by a man. His mind kept turning in an endless loop, lost in confusion. He flicked his sleeve and stared at Sylvester. He said to Lela, "Sarah, who is this person?"
Martin noticed that Sylvester had an air of authority around him, with a chilly and ruthless demeanor in his eyes. Despite being injured, he displayed no sign of weakness. He must have been someone significant outside. How could his Sarah get involved with such a dangerous person?
Lela stuck out her tongue and said, "Mr. Lambert, this is my boyfriend, Sylvester Gomez."
Upon hearing Lela's introduction, Sylvester raised an eyebrow in satisfaction. Underneath his long black lashes, a hint of arrogance flashed in his amber eyes. He stood up straight, picked Lela up from the rock, and held her close while looking at Martin. He nodded at Martin slightly.
Sylvester had always been arrogant. By nodding slightly, he showed his respect for Martin.
But rather than saying he respected them, it was more accurate to say he respected Lela.
Upon hearing Sarah calling Sylvester her boyfriend, Martin was shocked. His hand trembled slightly as he pointed at Sylvester, but his gaze was fixed on Lela. "Sarah, what did you say? He's your boyfriend? How old are you? Do you know what love is?" he questioned.
As he spoke, Martin felt more and more frustrated. He suddenly turned his gaze to Sylvester. He stared at him intently. "What have you done? Are you trying to deceive Sarah?" he probed. Martin regretted it.
If he had known earlier that Sarah would be deceived by a man, he wouldn't have allowed her to leave the valley back then.
Now, Sarah was only eighteen years old but already had a boyfriend, who looked dangerous.
After speaking, Martin wanted to pull Sarah over, but Sylvester held onto Lela and stepped aside. He naturally understood Martin's concerns, so he said, "Lela is someone I, Sylvester Gomez, will cherish for my entire life. As for your accusations of deception, are you doubting me or doubting Lela?"
