Of course, none of that is important. What matters is that she has an identity that is deeply connected to Chad Grant, and could even be considered a shame from Chad Grant's youth.

Sarah Harris's grandfather, Shane Harris, and Shawn Grant were sworn brothers. When Chad Grant was born, they arranged a childhood engagement between him and Sarah Harris. However, Shane Harris did not live as long as Shawn Grant, and passed away when Chad Grant was five. The head of the Yun family was then succeeded by Sarah Harris's father, Holly Harris.

The stunningly beautiful girl before him was actually Chad Grant's fiancée.

Chad Grant confirmed in his heart that at the age of ten, Sarah Harris was indeed still his fiancée.

Holly Harris and Gordon Grant were the same age and had a close friendship. In his previous life, when Chad Grant was twelve, Gordon Grant defeated all his competitors at the clan leader selection assembly and became the head of the Gu family. At the celebration banquet for the new clan leader, Holly Harris brought Sarah Harris to congratulate Gordon Grant, and in front of all the guests, dissolved the engagement between Chad Grant and Sarah Harris at the banquet, instead promising Sarah Harris to Gordon Grant's youngest son, Simon Grant.

Because of this, Chad Grant's father, Colin Grant, was so enraged on the spot that he coughed up blood and nearly died.

Although these events had long been buried deep in Chad Grant's memory, seeing Sarah Harris again now caused these memories to surge violently in his mind.

This was the first humiliation of his life.

"I was wondering who was standing dumbly in the street—it turns out to be you, Chad Grant, you good-for-nothing."

Charles Harris laughed loudly, his eyes full of contempt. Seeing that Chad Grant didn't even look at him and only stared at Sarah Harris, his tone turned angry: "What are you looking at, loser? Be careful or I'll gouge your eyes out."

Chad Grant snapped out of his memories, feeling a surge of emotions, but only smiled slightly: "What a coincidence, Charles Harris, Sarah Harris."

In his previous life, the Gu family was wiped out when Chad Grant was 13. Naturally, Sarah Harris never married Simon Grant. After escaping from Leshui City, Chad Grant never saw her again. When he returned to Leshui City more than a hundred years later, having reached the Mingquan Realm, all those who had destroyed his family were long dead, and the Yun family had already passed through several generations.

The dissolution of the engagement was Holly Harris's decision, so Sarah Harris couldn't be blamed. Still, Chad Grant didn't have any fond feelings for her.

Although Chad Grant and Sarah Harris were betrothed by their grandfathers, the two were not close and had met only a handful of times. In fact, because of the close friendship between Holly Harris and Gordon Grant, Sarah Harris was actually closer to Gordon Grant's youngest son, Simon Grant.

In his previous life, Chad Grant's abilities were weak—he only reached the second level of the Postnatal stage at age ten, while Simon Grant was a genius disciple of the Gu family, reaching the sixth level of the Postnatal stage at just twelve, and was a key focus of the family's training.

In her heart, she would surely have chosen Simon Grant.

Sarah Harris gave Chad Grant a slight nod, a look of disappointment on her face.

Charles Harris still glared angrily at Chad Grant.

After a moment of silence, Chad Grant realized he had nothing to say to them. Having lived 500 years in his previous life, that childhood engagement had long since faded from his heart. The two before him were now completely unrelated to him. The only thing that still bothered him was that, at the clan leader's celebration when he was twelve, his father had been so enraged by Holly Harris's public annulment of the engagement that he coughed up blood.

In this life, such a thing would never happen again, Chad Grant resolved.

Nodding to the two of them, Chad Grant turned and walked toward the east side of the city. Since there was nothing to say, there was no need to say more.

Charles Harris and Sarah Harris were a bit surprised that Chad Grant just turned and left, but they said nothing more. There was only a paper engagement between them, with no real feelings at all.

With the spiritual herbs he had purchased refined into spiritual liquid, plus daily training with the Mighty Vajra Fist, it would be enough to raise his cultivation to the fourth level of the Postnatal stage. What Chad Grant wanted most now was to improve his strength. After resolving the family incident, he would go to Lingxu Mountain's Dutian Peak and the Xu Tian Sect, to see his master and senior sister whom he missed day and night as soon as possible.

Chapter 006: Genius, Nothing More

"Up ahead, Chad Grant is over there..." Suddenly a loud shout rang out from the front, followed by the sound of footsteps as several people rushed toward Chad Grant.

Chad Grant had already seen these people. The four were the same youths who had been with Ian Grant earlier, but now Ian Grant was nowhere to be seen, and there was an additional proud-looking, handsome young man who seemed even younger than Ian Grant.

Chad Grant recognized him. The youth was Gordon Grant's youngest son, Simon Grant, a genius among the younger generation of the Gu family. At just 12 years old, he had already reached the sixth level of the Postnatal stage.

Simon Grant and Ian Grant were close in age and were the grandsons of the first and second elders, respectively, so they had been close since childhood. After hearing from the others that Ian Grant had been slapped four times by Chad Grant, Simon Grant immediately brought a few people to take revenge.

The bright red handprints on Ian Grant's face were still very obvious, so he didn't dare show his face and only told Simon Grant to make sure to teach Chad Grant a serious lesson and avenge him.

The southern part of the city was under the Yun family's influence. To regulate the market, fighting was forbidden in the city. However, given the close relationship between the Yun family and Gordon Grant, if Simon Grant wanted to act out in the south city, they would just turn a blind eye. Rules are made by people, and whether they are enforced depends on people as well.

Charles Harris's notorious playboy image in the south city was a vivid example of this.
