Lolo's words plunged the entire Golden Rose into an eerie silence.
Even the guests who were still eating put down their utensils and knives in their hands, and each of them revealed a look of astonishment.
They were there tonight to witness the historic moment between the Ferdinand Family and the Bretton Family, but they didn't expect to hear an even more shocking news.
The marriage between the two wealthy families was the hottest topic in the human world recently. Mograine had been preparing for it for a long time, and he even led the Ferdinand Family's fleet all the way south to Gudilesi. It could be said that he was very sincere. In the eyes of most people, the two people at the table tonight could be said to be a match made in heaven, but no one expected Luoluo to reject Mograine directly in the end.
Many people couldn't help but doubt their ears at this moment.
Mograine nodded. "I respect your choice, but you can stay for dinner. At least I can guarantee your safety during this period. Don't worry, no matter when you want to leave, I won't stop you."
"No need," the girl shook her head.
Mograine raised his eyebrows. "Is that so? You have to think it through. There are still nearly four hours to 12 o 'clock. I can help you get through one of them. Consider it a parting gift."
"No need," the girl insisted.
"Oh, do you trust that guy that much? As far as I know, he's not in a good situation now. No, not only him, but also his companions. Unfortunately, your plan tonight has been seen through by the temple. If you're alone, you won't be able to face those crazy guys outside, "Mograine said as he slowly tied the napkin around his neck. Mograine said as he slowly tied the napkin around his neck. "You saw what happened just now. Once you leave this place, there might be people who want to use you against him."
"I will. No matter what happens, I will trust him. And if he's really in danger, I can't just sit here and do nothing," the girl said seriously.
…
In the office, D 'Addarion was sitting motionlessly on his leather chair.
Not only did the president of the Magic Association place his feet on his desk without a care for his image, but he also stared at the eight people walking in from between his legs. "Oh, it's you guys?"
The leading nobleman could not help but lament, "Time flies. It's been sixteen years since we last met."
"Yeah, I didn't know that Young Master Theodore of the Andrea Family would become a dog of the Temple of Light after 16 years." "At that time, I thought highly of you. After all, it's rare to see a guy who is willing to give up the position of heir to hone his combat skills in this impetuous society. But in the end, you still went to lick the boots of those swindlers?" "That's right," Dardarion said.
"I was entrusted with a task, so I have no choice but to complete it." Theodore's expression didn't change despite the insults. "I haven't seen you in so many years, but you're still living so carefree. How enviable."
"Oh my, you're surprisingly sweet. Tell me, what benefits did the Temple of Light promise your family?"
"A salt pan, two small islands, and some trade concessions. To be honest, I don't know much about these things. Anyway, I only know that I have to keep you here until 12 o 'clock tonight."
D 'Addarion's eyes swept over the remaining seven people. "Are you guys the same? Those guys are really willing to pay a high price this time. But why did they have to make it so troublesome? They could've just given me the money. Let alone four hours, I can even stay for 40 hours. " The president of the Magic Association sighed. "Is it because my credibility has dropped a little recently?"
Another of the eight said, "I'm sorry, we have no choice. We hope that senior can cooperate with us and quietly wait for the time to come. That will be good for all of us." "That's right, Senior.
"Oh, cooperate with you? How? If you didn't tell me, I would've forgotten that this is my office. I thought this was the church's branch in Gudilesi! " D 'Addarion sneered. "You guys have probably forgotten that I'm the manager of all the magicians in this city."
"We're in the wrong this time. After this is over, we will voluntarily hand over our staffs and let you deal with us, President D 'Addarion," Theodore said with a bow.
"I say … Are you all married?" The man pulled out a cigarette from the drawer, knocked it on the table, and asked.
The eight people in the room looked at each other when they heard this. They didn't know why the other person's thoughts were jumping so quickly. They suddenly talked about marriage. After a while, someone suddenly realized, "Senior, did you just get married? Congratulations, congratulations."
"Sigh, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just worried that when we fight, your handsome faces will be smashed. If you can't find a wife, won't you be miserable for the rest of your lives?" D 'Addarion said flatly.
The eight people had a strange look on their faces. "Senior, there are eight of us here."
"There are twelve pigs in the slaughterhouse next door. So what? I still don't pay for barbecue. "
"That's not something to be proud of." Someone couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.
D 'Addarion said vaguely with a cigarette in his mouth. "I say, you guys are too naive. Sixteen years ago, all of you were defeated by me. Sixteen years later, do you think I'm no match for you?"
"Senior, you haven't changed at all. You're always so confident." Theodore chuckled after a moment of silence. "Although we're the trump cards of our respective academies, we can't compare to you in terms of talent. That's why we could only watch helplessly as you trampled on our pride 16 years ago. However, we didn't sink into depravity. While you were at the same spot, we worked day and night to catch up. Thanks to you, all eight of us reached the Rank 6 realm before the age of 30."
"Tsk, tsk. What's so great about stepping into the sixth rank before the age of 30? Do you want me to write a notice for you and post it all over the streets and alleys? " D 'Addarion lit the cigarette and extinguished the flame in his hand. "It's cruel, but unfortunately, this is the world. Mortals are mortals. Some things can't be changed by hard work."
"It's really a declaration from a genius." Theodore smiled bitterly.
"No, no one can understand the despair better than me. Compared to that guy, I'm just a mortal." D 'Addarion took a deep breath and pinched the cigarette between his two fingers. "Well, even mortals are divided into levels. Come on, let me see how much you've improved in the past 16 years. "
