"No matter if it's a normal marriage or marrying into a woman's family, it's all for the sake of alliance. I'm willing to marry into her family and don't care whose child it is. Youlee can keep the baby!" Yecin's words immediately drew the attention of everyone present.In recent years, the Wright family's influence had been declining, especially after the death of their legendary God of War. Their situation had worsened year by year.Therefore, the Wright family desperately sought an alliance with a powerful family and had to lower their standards significantly. They were so eager that even if Youlee were pregnant out of wedlock or had two children from a previous marriage, Yecin would not refuse her.Mateo stepped forward and said, "By observing her energy and spirit, I can tell Youlee isn't pregnant. She's just joking with us!"Energy and spirit! That was a method of the Eeitists, who were rumored to have a unique cultivation method called Divine Martial Cultivation. It was said
However, Hansen was not a fool; he knew his granddaughter had no connection with those three men. So he turned to Chad and asked, "Chad, when did this happen?"Chad did not want to be mistaken as the father of the child. "Mr. Kara, you misunderstood. Youlee isn't pregnant!""Ugh!"However, Youlee's reactions were becoming increasingly severe, and she could not even straighten up while leaning on Chad. Those who did not know the truth believed that Youlee was pregnant with Chad's child.Matilda's eyes reddened with anger. "No wonder he agreed to the divorce after I proposed it!"Matilda and Chad had been married for three years, but she had not gotten pregnant despite not using any contraceptives. Although she was busy most of the time, they still had marital relations. Matilda felt they might not have divorced if they had a child. When she realized Youlee was pregnant with Chad's child, she was devastated. It meant it was not Chad's problem but hers.Feeling desperate, Adon appro
That was the most shocking news! Everyone knew that Chad and Matilda had divorced. Yet, Matilda claimed they had not officially finalized their divorce, immediately thrusting Chad into the spotlight.Hansen looked at Chad with a questioning gaze. Youlee, equally shocked, demanded, "Is she telling the truth?"Chad felt embarrassed. "It seems so. After we signed the divorce papers, I didn't follow up on the other paperwork."Chad and Matilda were first-time divorcees and inexperienced. They thought signing the divorce papers were sufficient to finalize the divorce. Who knew they still needed to follow through with the paperwork?Slap!"You scoundrel! Stop playing dumb with me!" Youlee raised her hand to slap him, but Chad caught her wrist."Let go of Youlee, you jerk! Stay away from her!" Yecin saw an opportunity and rushed forward, trying to pull Youlee behind him. However, as soon as he touched Chad's arm, he was repelled by a tremendous force. Yecin, a martial supreme and a half
Chad was not particularly interested in antiques and calligraphy. Since childhood, he had accompanied his father to various elite families and understood that these items were primarily used as gifts.Without that attribute, antiques and calligraphy had little economic value, serving mainly for research purposes. The Long family's treasure appraisal event was more like a high-end market.Participants wandered in groups, admiring the antiques and calligraphy while engaging in conversations. They could move to the banquet area for further discussion if they hit it off.That day, the entire Long family was present, offering their younger generation an opportunity to build their networks."Why are you still interested in this? You should be thinking about when to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow!" Youlee tugged on Chad's arm, trailing behind him."Why the Civil Affairs Bureau?""To get married, of course.""I'm not going.""What do you mean, Chad?" Youlee released his arm, h
The elderly man, Samuel Webb, composed himself and then spoke to Chad with a heavy heart. "Snow's disappearance has been ten years. I hope you can move on and live your own life."Chad was taken aback, not understanding why his uncle would say such a thing. "Live my own life? How can I? I'm sorry, but I can't do that."Samuel's face darkened as he glanced at the Long family members nearby. They took the hint and left, with Michael even clearing the surrounding guests, leaving only Chad and Samuel."Chad, finding your sister is your parents' responsibility. You have your own life to live. Don't destroy your life over this.""My parents? Did they even try looking for her? Or did they not search for my sister at all?"Slap!As soon as Chad finished speaking, Samuel slapped him. That slap left Chad feeling heartbroken. "What's the matter with you? Your parents did everything they could to find your sister. You can't criticize them like this!"Chad bowed his head, not responding, ins
Chad's father was the eldest of the ten brothers, with Samuel as the second and Esther's husband as the third. They were all Mystic practitioners, ranked according to their years as Mystics. Chad's father, born into a Mystic family, had the longest tenure, hence his position as the eldest.After his initial outburst, Samuel tried to comfort Chad. "Chad, listen to me. It's just a divorce. There are plenty of women out there. You can marry someone else."Chad pushed his uncle's hand, replying coldly, "Are you trying to arrange my life again? Who do you want me to marry this time? Youlee, Nancy, Fifi, or..." Chad was at a loss for words, recalling a name that left him speechless.Finally, Chad stood up straight, facing Samuel, and declared loudly, "I will never marry again in this lifetime!"His voice was loud enough for the onlookers to hear. Among them was Youlee, whose expression darkened upon hearing his words. Chad was not someone who would submit easily; such scheming against hi
Chad yelled, "Get lost!"Then, the man released his grip, and Chad stumbled away. The man watched Chad leave with a cold smile."Brother, who was that rude guy?" A seductive woman squeezed into the man's arms, pouting.The man was Ronan Ward, and the woman was Sadie Horton. Both were shaman disciples of the Black Mosaic Group, which monopolized the agricultural market in the northeast.The Fox family backed their families—Rachdal's Ward family and Penrith's Horton family. They were attending the Long family's treasure appraisal event to research the Central Plains' agricultural market.Ronan watched Chad leave. "Don't worry, he won't get away."Sadie laughed. "Isn't he that Dr. Jennings?""I don't care who he is. Anyone who offends us must die, even if he's the grandson of a cabinet elder," Ronan said with a sinister smile.At that moment, a white fox peeked out from Ronan's collar. He petted the fox's head, "Third Sister, this guy has a lot of light energy. Want to absorb it?"
The only place with light was Chad's Hall of Herbs. As Chad walked onto Temple Road, the car following him continued to tail him. Without turning around, Chad headed toward the Hall of Herbs.When Chad reached the entrance, the car stopped in front of the Hall of Herbs. Samuel stepped out alone, and the driver drove off once he was out.Chad looked at him. "Why are you here?"With a somber expression, Samuel followed Chad into the Hall of Herbs. Seeing Chad with a guest, Willow wanted to make tea, but Chad waved her away.Samuel sat down and immediately noticed the Yggdrasil seed by the rock garden in the backyard. "I came to tell you something. Your third uncle has also fallen in battle."Chad's body stiffened as he remembered Esther, his aunt, mentioning that his third uncle had gone to find Chad's parents after arriving in Bloomington.It seemed that his third uncle had gone to the place beyond the sky. Given the recent upheavals there, his uncle's death was not surprising.C
