"Miss, you're finally back. The City Lord is about to die from anxiety …"
Just as Levi and Ye Xuan arrived at the door, the butler, who had been notified in advance, quickly came over and said anxiously.
"What is it? Did something happen? "
Levi asked doubtfully as he looked at the anxious butler.
"Lord Hank Kade has brought Young Master Kester here to propose marriage. They are currently in the meeting hall."
The butler hurriedly spoke.
"What?" A marriage proposal?
"Hearing the butler's words, Levi's expression couldn't help but change drastically. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the butler's collar as he coldly said," What exactly is going on? "
"Everyone knows that Young Master Kester has always admired Young Miss, and now that Young Miss has reached the age of marriage, coupled with the fact that the Hank family is a relative of the Evil Emperor, and has received the Evil Emperor's favor, our City Lord's Mansion has a very close relationship with the Hank family, so Young Master Kester asked his father, Lord Kade, to propose marriage! After the City Lord heard about it, he was very much in favor of this marriage, and I heard that the Evil Emperor also agreed to this marriage … "
Being grabbed by Levi like this, the butler hurriedly told him the information he had learned.
"Take me there!"
Levi's expression was ice-cold, his eyes filled with anger.
"Yes …"
The butler hurriedly nodded and brought Levi to the meeting hall.
"Xuanye, come with me!"
As if he'd thought of something, Levi stopped in his tracks and turned around to speak to Ye Xuan.
"Alright!"
Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment. His eyes flashed with wisdom as he lightly nodded.
From Levi's current attitude, it was obvious that he didn't approve of this marriage. Perhaps this was a chance for him to break into Hesse City.
One had to know that one of the Five Emperors of the Asura World in the West, the Evil Emperor came from the Hank family. Although Hank Kade and the others in Hesse City were only a branch of the Hank family, they were still highly valued by the Evil Emperor. Hank Kade's strength was extremely powerful, and he had once participated in the competition for the thirty-six divine positions of the Asura World.
Although the Hank family in Hesse City was only a branch of the Hank family, they were still the number one family in Hesse City, on par with the City Lord's Mansion.
Of course, there was a reason why the Demonic Emperor supported the Hank family in Hesse City. His goal was to prevent Ledron and the others from rebelling.
If Levi really married Kester, then the Hank Family would become one family with the City Lord's Mansion, and Hesse City would become an iron bucket. Whether it was the City Lord's Mansion, the Hank Family, or even the Demonic Emperor, it would be of great benefit.
However, if this marriage did not go through …
Then, this was a little interesting!
The corners of Ye Xuan's mouth curled up slightly as he followed Levi and the others into the meeting hall.
In the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
City Lord Ledron, who was wearing a black leather coat, was sitting at the head of the table, drinking tea while chatting with Hank Kades about their marriage.
Looking at Kester who was respectfully sitting beside him, his weather-beaten face was full of smiles, and his eyes were full of praise.
As Levi's father, he was quite satisfied with Kester.
Kades, the eldest young master of the Hank family, the chief heir, not only had an extremely high appearance and temperament, he also had an extremely high level of knowledge and strength.
His martial talent was especially outstanding. At the age of eighteen, he had participated in the Asura World's seventy-two Earth Fiends' title competition and was ranked in the top fifty.
Don't underestimate the top fifty. There were a total of three thousand people participating in the competition for the title of 72 Earth Fiend. Most of them were over 22 years old, and there were even some middle-aged men in their forties. To be able to stand out from so many people and enter the top fifty, one was already a genius of their generation!
When Kester was twenty-two years old, he had participated in the competition for the thirty-six Divine Thrones of the Asura World. Although he had failed to obtain the Divine Thrones, he had obtained the title of Quasi God, which meant that he had great potential to reach the thirty-six Divine Thrones in the next ten years.
Even the Lord Evil Emperor admired Kester greatly.
Kester was already twenty-eight years old. After all these years of accumulation, Kester's strength had improved even more. He was extremely confident in the Conferred God Battle in half a year, and he believed that he could obtain one of the thirty-six Divine Thrones.
Such a youth was undoubtedly extremely rare.
From Ledron's point of view, Kester's future was limitless.
From Ledron's point of view, it was undoubtedly a blessing for his daughter to be able to marry him.
Kester could bring happiness to her daughter!
Therefore, Ledron was very much in favor of this marriage.
Immediately, Ledron smiled and said, "Although Ah Lai hasn't returned yet, I think she will definitely be happy when she hears this news. After all, in the entire Hesse City, only Nephew Kester is worthy of her!"
"Then, Uncle, you mean …"
Hearing Ledron's words, a hint of ecstasy appeared on Kester's face as he couldn't help but ask.
"I agree!" "Haha …"
Ledron laughed as he spoke.
"I don't agree!"
However, just as Ledron finished speaking, a cold and stubborn voice quietly rang out at this moment.
As the voice sounded out, Levi and Ye Xuan were led into the meeting hall by the butler.
"Alai!"
Laylon and Kester were both startled when they saw Levi barge into the meeting hall, but a look of joy surfaced on their faces.
"Ah Lai, you came back at the right time. I was discussing your marriage with Uncle Kade about Nephew Kester!"
Seeing this, Ledron stood up and walked to Levi's side, holding her hand as he spoke.
It could be seen that Ledron doted on Levi a lot.
"I don't agree, I don't want to marry him!"
Just as Kester was about to speak, Levi spoke first.
"Alai, do you know what you're saying?"
The smile on Ledron's face froze as he scolded.
The smiles on Kester and Kade's faces also gradually disappeared at this moment, appearing somewhat unnatural.
"Of course I know what I'm saying …" I don't want to marry Kester, I don't like him! "Levi said stubbornly.
"You … You. You've been with Kester since you were young! You grew up together, and the two of you have a very good relationship. Didn't you say you liked him? "
Ledron immediately became anxious.
"Ah Lai, I am true to you. I truly like you. I swear that I will treat you well, love you well, and protect you for the rest of my life!"
At this moment, Kester also spoke with a face full of affection.
"Big brother Kester … I... You've misunderstood! I did say that I like Kester! "Big brother, but that's only the kind of liking a little sister has for her big brother, that's not love …"
Levi said anxiously and with a wronged expression.
Kester seemed to be in a daze. He didn't expect to be rejected just like that.
Ledron was also at a loss for what to do at this moment.
Things didn't seem to be developing as he had expected.
He didn't understand why his obedient daughter, who had always listened to him, had suddenly become so disobedient and unreasonable.
Didn't she know the importance of this marriage?
Even though it was Kester! They had come to propose marriage, but he knew that this marriage had been approved by the Evil Emperor.
If they really rejected this marriage, then the Lord Evil Emperor would definitely have some thoughts, and might even doubt their loyalty.
One had to know that the Evil Emperor came from the Hank Family, and the Hank Family in Hesse City was equivalent to half a royal family. Furthermore, this marriage in front of them had the approval of the Evil Emperor.
Once they went against it, the consequences would be extremely dangerous.
While Ledron was thinking about how to convince Levi, Kester's gaze fell onto Ye Xuan. His eyes flickered with an ice-cold light as he coldly asked, "Ah Lai, who is this Chinese man?"
A man's intuition told him that the reason Levi rejected him was most likely because of this man in front of him.
Hearing Kester's words, Ledron and the others finally noticed that Ye Xuan, an unfamiliar man, was still standing in the hall. Judging from his appearance, he should be from China.
"Ah Lai, we are in the middle of a meeting. Why did you bring an outsider in?"
Ledron asked coldly at this moment.
"Father, his name is Xuan Ye. We were attacked by a giant salamander beast on our way back from the trade. The ocean ship was destroyed, and Uncle Ming and the guards were all killed. He saved me at the critical moment …"
As Levi spoke, he began to cry, "If it wasn't for Xuanye, Ah Lai would never have been able to see his father again. Wuwu …" You must thank him for me. "
"What?" Something like this actually happened? "
When Levi's sobbing words fell into the ears of Ledron, Kester, and the others, they couldn't help but be shocked.
It was hard for them to imagine how Levi and the others had survived the attack of the giant salamander beast. It had to be known that it was a Class 8 Magical Beast.
They clearly did not expect such a thing to happen. Levi and the others had actually been attacked by the giant salamander beast, and Uncle Ming and the others had all died …
At the same time, Ledron, Kester, and the others finally understood why Levi had rejected the marriage.
It was extremely likely that Levi had experienced a life and death situation and received a huge shock and stimulation. His emotions were a little agitated and his mind was a little deranged.
Of course, it also had something to do with that kid called Xuan Ye. After all, this guy had saved Levi's life and had gone through life and death situations together.
"Ah Lai, be good. Don't worry, everything's fine. You're safe now …" Don't worry, father will definitely reward him handsomely! "
At this moment, Ledron lightly patted Levi's shoulder and comforted him.
"Men, bring this little brother called Xuan Ye to the accounts room to collect five million Asura coins and a set of black crystal armor!"
Immediately, Ledron waved his hand and spoke in a heroic manner.
One had to know that the exchange rate between the Asura Coins and the Chinese currency was 1 to 8. Five million Asura Coins was almost equivalent to 40 million Chinese currency.
A set of black crystal armor was also known as an energy armor. Its price on the market was about 10 million Chinese dollars, and it was the kind that was hard to find. It was extremely precious.
Ledron's reward for saving Levi wasn't very high, but it definitely wasn't low either.
"Thank you, City Lord!"
Ye Xuan cupped his fists in apology, then left the meeting hall under the butler's lead.
"Father, Xuanye saved Ah Lai's life before. Your reward is too little …"
Seeing Ye Xuan being taken away by the butler, Levi hurriedly spoke up.
"You little girl …" Housekeeper, help me reward him a little more. That should be enough, right?
"Ledron couldn't help but smile helplessly as he instructed the butler.
"That's more like it!"
Only then did Levi nod his head in satisfaction.
"About that... Lord Father, Uncle Kade, Big Brother Kester … I'm tired, I'll go rest first.
"Then she turned around and said to Kade, Kester, and the others.
"Hurry up and go, you child!"
Seeing this, Ledron lightly nodded his head. He then turned his head and said to Kester, "Nephew Kester, Alai was attacked by the giant salamander beast. He experienced life and death and was frightened. You should accompany him more!"
"Yes sir!"
Hearing Ledron's words, Kester lightly nodded his head, stood up, and chased after Levi.
After Levi and Kester left, Ledron turned his head and looked at Kade, who had been sitting at the side without saying a word. A deep apologetic expression appeared on his face, and words of self-blame came out of his mouth: "Brother Kai, it's all my fault for being too indulgent towards that girl, Ah Lai. I didn't discipline her well, and made you laugh …"
"This isn't your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame that giant salamander beast. It had been sleeping in the Sea of Devils for a long time, but who would have thought that it would suddenly come out and attack, frightening and stimulating Ah Lai … It wasn't easy for her to escape from that giant salamander beast!
"Kade shook his head and slowly spoke.
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "However, that kid from China was actually able to save Ah Lai from the hands of the giant salamander beast. It's a little hard to believe …"
"Perhaps it's just luck. Although there are many Chinese in the Asura World, I've never heard of the name Xuanye before. "Furthermore, I can see that his aura is only that of a small Martial King …"
Ledron lightly said, "Fortunately, he still has some self-awareness. He knows that he will leave after receiving the reward. He doesn't have any improper thoughts! Brother Kai, Ah Lai was only provoked for a moment, and that brat saved her. That's why she was a little resistant to this marriage. After she rested for a while, she would naturally agree to it after thinking it through!
"" If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Brother Lai! I hope that our two families will be able to get closer! "
Kade nodded slightly and spoke with a smile.
"Brother Kai, don't worry!" Ledron said with a solemn expression.
"Then we'll come back in seven days?"
Kade asked tentatively.
"Alright, come back in seven days!"
Ledron nodded slightly.
Seven days was enough for him to settle many things.
"Then, Brother Kai, I still have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first!"
Kade stood up and cupped his fists towards Ledron, then turned around and left …
"Where are the Dark Guards?"
After Kade left, Ledron's eyes flashed as he coldly spoke.
"Shua!"
Just as he finished speaking, a black shadow silently appeared in the shadows at the corner of the wall.
"I want all the information on that kid called Xuanye. Also, keep an eye on that kid and watch his every move. If anything happens, report it to me at any time!"
Ledron expressionlessly said.
"Yes sir!"
As his words fell, the shadow squirmed strangely and disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
