Chapter 500 Not Very Bad
Larry didn't know what to do about the current situation either.
After a brief moment of sadness, Paisley calmed down.
Her pretty face showed confusion as she fell into thought.
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing her deep in thought, Larry couldn't help but ask.
"Something's a bit strange."
The now-calm Paisley spoke softly.
"What?"
Larry looked puzzled.
Paisley said quietly, "Grandpa knew Megan showed up at White Mountain. At first, he didn't want me to get involved because he knew Megan wouldn't kill you and wouldn't dare to kill you - you wouldn't be in any real danger. But in the end, he still sent me here."
Larry looked at Paisley and asked, "What's so strange about that? Wasn't it to bring me the combat technique manual?"
"I'm afraid that was just an excuse." Paisley sighed deeply.
She understood Cody. Although he had no interest in fighting for power, Cody's mind was really sharp. He thought things through very carefully - it was far from being as simple as it appeared on the surface.
She analyzed, "Grandpa knew Megan was Mr. Strother's final and most important disciple, and he knew about the current situation. Since Megan found out about the Bennett family wanting to marry into the Rivera family, there's no way Grandpa didn't know. If outsiders knew, Grandpa would definitely also know that other families and other forces would try to stop the marriage."
"And the key to stopping it lies with me."
"A family that rarely moves around in the world has very strong traditional values. As long as my reputation is destroyed, the marriage will fall through."
"With Grandpa's mind, there's no way he didn't think of all this. But then, why did he still send me here?"
Paisley couldn't figure it out, and Larry was even more confused.
The two just sat there in front of the fire, and the scene became quiet.
After a good while, Paisley finally looked up at Larry.
Larry quickly reached out to cover his private parts.
Paisley burst out laughing.
"Why are you looking at me? What are you laughing at?"
Paisley felt she had lost her composure and immediately said, "Nothing, nothing. I just think that Grandpa thought of all this and still sent me here - maybe it has something to do with you."
"Me?"
Larry looked baffled.
"Maybe Grandpa is weighing things, weighing whether you or the Rivera family is more reliable."
Larry touched his nose and said, "I'm only at the peak of the first realm."
"But you've opened all your meridians. Your real strength is pseudo-fifth realm."
Larry made a sound of understanding, then suddenly thought of something: "Could it be the Cabinet Room?"
"What?" Paisley looked at Larry.
Larry said, "Cody must also know that the Cabinet Room was created by my grandfather, and the Cabinet Room has shown terrifying strength. Now that Grandpa's dead, the Cabinet Room is controlled by Chloe. Although Chloe once gave me the Cabinet's Token and said I was the master of the Cabinet Room, I've never met anyone from the Cabinet Room, but Chloe has."
Hearing this, Paisley understood too.
"Grandpa is making backup plans. One is to marry into the Rivera family, and the other is to win over the Cabinet Room that Richard left behind, or even use it for himself. Grandpa is really calculating - he wants to use me to pull in two forces."
Paisley laughed at herself mockingly.
She felt her fate was tragic.
She seemed to be part of the Bennett family with unlimited glory, but in the Bennett family she had no status at all - she was just a tool to be used.
Larry asked, "So what do we do now?"
Paisley sighed, "I'm afraid Grandpa started scheming from the moment he sent me to protect you. Because Grandpa knows you're resistant to the Bennett family, he's using me, trying to tie you to the Bennett family again. Sending people this time serves the same purpose - he wants something to happen between us. At the same time, he'll also contact the Rivera family. Even if the photos Megan took get out, he'll definitely still try hard to push for the marriage. If the marriage doesn't work out in the end, he'll definitely find a way to make the Rivera family break with Mr. Strother."
Larry listened carefully.
Although these were all just Paisley's guesses, they made a lot of sense.
"Don't worry about it. We'll take it one step at a time."
Paisley hugged her knees with both hands, resting her chin on her knees, speaking softly.
After figuring things out, she felt her situation wasn't too bad.
At least for now she was still useful to Cody, and Cody wouldn't give up on her easily.
She looked up at Larry and suddenly said, "If I really had to choose between the Rivera family and you, I would definitely choose you."
"..."
Paisley's sudden words surprised Larry.
After being stunned for a while, he finally reacted and said seriously, "Don't joke around. You know my situation - my own love life is already complicated enough. Don't add more pressure on me."
Paisley laughed, "Just kidding. After all, you're my cousin."
Larry pursed his lips, wanting to say that she wasn't really part of the Bennett family at all, that she was just adopted, but the words reached his lips and he didn't say them.
"By the way."
Paisley changed the subject and asked, "What ability did you use earlier? I saw your skin change, and your defense seemed to get much stronger."
Larry explained, "This is a combat ability recorded in the medical classics, called Heavenly Force Qigong. Combined with Adamantine Invincibility Technique, after learning it, your whole body's skin turns bronze, like a bronze statue, impervious to weapons. If you train it to the extreme, you can even form a special barrier and be invincible. But right now, I'm just a beginner - I can't even really call it beginner level."
"It's very strong, really strong."
Paisley said, "The difference of one realm means a huge gap in power, yet you could use your beginner-level Heavenly Force Qigong to resist the palm strikes of Mr. Strother's four great warriors. Once you master it, there won't be many people who can match you."
"It's very hard to learn."
Larry shook his head slightly.
He knew how amazing this Heavenly Force Qigong was. To fully master it would be too difficult - without several years of practice, he wouldn't be able to learn it completely.
"By the way, give me your clothes. I'll mend them for you so you can wear them for now. We'll leave when it gets light."
As Larry spoke, he took out one of the Against Heaven 81 Needles and pulled a thread from his own clothes.
Paisley hesitated slightly, then said with a red face, "You, you turn around."
Larry immediately turned around.
And Paisley threw the torn clothes that had been covering her body to Larry.
With nothing on, the wind blew and she felt chilly, couldn't help but shiver, then activated her Qi to ward off the cold.
Meanwhile, Larry began mending the clothes.
Paisley stood behind him, watching his skilled movements, and couldn't help but laugh, "I never thought the Summer Nation War God could also sew. I thought you only knew how to fight."
Larry said, "For the past ten years, I've always been self-sufficient. I learned everything."
When he was in the military, he did everything himself - there was nothing Larry couldn't do.
Soon, he finished mending Paisley's clothes and turned to hand them over.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Paisley standing behind him.
He saw her sexy figure.
He froze instantly.
