Chapter 628: Do You Understand? (1/2)
Just as Leon wondered what they really wanted from him, Reuben Darkwing pulled a young lady before him.
”My daughter, Catalina, is of similar age to the divine doctor.” Reuben Darkwing introduced before suggesting, ”If the divine doctor does look down on my daughter, perhaps the two of you can become friends.”
After Leon glanced at the other aristocrat heads who similarly brought their daughters and beautiful female servants with them, his eyes immediately flickered with understanding.
These people were seeking to establish a connection with him by using the honey trap tactic!
”Divine doctor, my daughter, Shahla, is also of similar age to you and wants to be your friend!”
”Pah! How shameless of you, Sir Riverick! Your daughter is only 13 years old! How is that similar age, hmm?!” Another aristocrat family head snorted before turning to Leon, ”Greeting, great doctor. How about befriending my—”
”Daughter? Holy fuck, dude. Are you sure that she isn't your secret mistress instead?” The other black-winged aristocrat family head, Riverick Blackfeather, immediately took the chance to jab back.
The lady brought forward by the other black-winged aristocrat family head appeared to be at least in her late-30's—old enough to be the divine doctor's young mother.
”What nonsense! Did I say I was introducing my daughter?! This is my little sister!” The black-winged aristocrat family head exploded.
In a short moment, all the aristocrats finished their attempts at matchmaking their sisters, daughters, young cousins, and even servants to Leon.
They knew that if they could bind the divine doctor to their families, their families would be able to enjoy prosperity for many generations to come.
Alas…
Leon took a glance at Aria beside him, who have gone silent with an expressionless look.
Given the relationship they shared, the aristocrat family heads were not giving her any respect by blatantly trying to matchmake her man with their daughters and such.
”Hmph!” Aria snorted.
With a stomp of her feet, a wave of ice-lightning power surged out from the ground with a threatening presence.
”Rank 2 Transcendent!”
The aristocrats all hastily retreated with shock after Aria's reveal of strength, not expecting to see another person with a high-level cultivation base after Lord Bahlzacs's death.
If such a strong person assisted in the previous battle, it would have ended even quicker!
Lord Bahlzacs was simply destined to die!
Just as the aristocrat family heads were about to make an apology, Lilith's voice thundered over with a snarl, ”What are you all doing over there! I'm not done with all of you yet!”
Lilith stormed over angrily like a jealous, causing the aristocrat family heads to become stunned at the same time.
Glanced back and further between Aria and Lilith before ultimately shaking their heads with disappointment and wry but bitter smiles.
The competition was too strong!
There was no hope of binding the divine doctor to their family!
”Our apologies, Your Highness. We did not know that the divine doctor was already your lover. We mean no disrespect,” Reuben Darkwing took the initiative to speak first, acting like he was the leader of all the aristocrat families.
”W-What? Lover?”
Lilith's stern face immediately flushed with embarrassment, losing all the strong momentum she came forward with.
Nevertheless, after a moment, she recovered slightly before correcting them, ”You're wrong! The one you are disrespecting is Aria. Apologize to her, then get back to work!”
”Everyone must contribute to the clan's restoration. The aristocrat families are no exceptions, you hear me?!”
”Y-Yes, Your Highness!”
