chapter 4 Mysterious identity, door-to-door marriage proposal

“The ‘Mysterious’ Number……"
Upon hearing Lunet's question, Wild North Dragon couldn't help but shake his head and replied, "Daughter, although you are a distinguished War God, the War Department has a strict confidentiality system. With your current rank, you're not yet privy to the identity of the ‘Mysterious’ Number. As your father, I cannot show favoritism, or else I would be subject to military law."
“What...”
Lunet felt helpless, “I am already the War Goddess,
Wild North Dragon knew well of Lunet's disappointment, so he said with a smile, “Don’t worry, you will meet him in the future, as there is a destined fate between you two.”
“A destined fate?”
Lunet was curious, “How can I, a mere mortal, have a fate with the supreme and mysterious ‘Mysterious’ Number?”
“You will find out in time.”
Wild North Dragon smiled, offering no further explanation.
After hanging up the phone, he thought to himself with relief, “Silly girl, you and the ‘Mysterious’ Number are meant to be married! Your father has arranged a wonderful match for you!”
But Wild North Dragon didn’t anticipate that Lunet, keeping it a secret from him, had taken the wedding invitation and forcefully canceled the hard-earned marriage arrangement!
“Dad, what are you hiding from me? If there’s something, why keep it secret!”
After the call, Lunet couldn’t help but recall the harrowing scene of her fight with the King of Slaughter earlier that day.
If it hadn’t been for the “Mysterious” Number arriving at the crucial moment, she might have been violated by the King of Slaughter.
“Right, how did Adohi know about the King of Slaughter's vulnerable spot? Did he hear it from Lord 'Mysterious', or does he know the ‘Mysterious’ Number?”
Lunet was full of doubts, while her beautiful assistant whispered, “Miss, Adohi once said he knew some important leaders in the military department, could it be true?”
Lunet frowned, “Find Adohi, I need to get some answers from him!”
Meanwhile, she took out the jade bottle given by the “Mysterious” Number, with an image of nine phoenixes and one dragon drawn on it, “Investigate secretly, find out the origin of this pattern.”
...
After dealing with the King of Slaughter, Adohi went to the city to start matchmaking as instructed by his father.
The first candidate for the marriage proposal was named Ceren Lindsey.
“May my ancestors bless me; I hope this Ceren is a great beauty…”
Adohi silently wished.
The Lindsey Family resided in an upscale villa area in the city, with a decent family background.
To Adohi's surprise, Ceren indeed turned out to be a stunning beauty.
Over 1.7 meters tall, with long, straight, and fair legs, flawless skin, sexy lips, flowing long hair, and an ethereal aura.
Moreover, her figure was exceptionally well-developed, and even in simple casual wear, she couldn't hide her alluring figure, a feast for the eyes.
My master’s didn’t deceive me.
Adohi was delighted, saying, “I am Adohi Yates, here specifically for a marriage proposal, here is the betrothal letter and token from that time.”
However, Ceren glanced at Adohi and said indifferently, “Honestly, I really dislike these arranged marriages by matchmakers and parents’ orders.”
“How about this? You seem modestly dressed, perhaps your family isn't well off.”
Ceren shifted her tone, “I'll give you three million, take the money, destroy these letters and items, and never come to our Lindsey Family again.”
“Three million?”
Adohi was momentarily stunned, then bitterly smiled, not expecting to be disdained by both Lunet and Ceren within a day.
Am I that undesirable?
Why judge by appearance?
Adohi shook his head.
“Is three million not enough?”
Ceren's disgust on her face increased a bit more, “Alright, I'll raise it to five million! With this money, you can go back and enjoy some comfortable days!"
"I hope you don't overstep your bounds, know your limits as a person! While I'm not too fed up with you yet, please leave quickly!"
Seeing Ceren’s unreasonable and domineering attitude, Adohi’s expression turned icy.
“Ceren, you don’t need to give me money, but please keep your arrogance and sense of superiority to yourself.”
“If you want to call off the marriage, let your grandfather come forward to tear up the marriage contract, and I will leave immediately.”
“I don’t have to marry you, understand?”
Although Adohi had a weakness for beauties, he wouldn't endlessly please them without principles!
Hearing this, Ceren became furious.
A country bumpkin dares to be so arrogant in front of me?
Who do you think you are?
At that moment.
“Ceren, how should I address this friend?”
Then, an elderly man with a dignified face arrived in a wheelchair, looking at Adohi with a friendly gaze.
He was Ceren's grandfather, the old master of the Lindsey Family, Dario Lindsey.
Behind Dario stood a middle-aged man with eagle-like sharp eyes. He was Dario's son and Ceren's father, named Norio Lindsey.
“Grandfather, why are you here? The doctor said you shouldn't be exposed to the cold!”
Ceren hurriedly handed over the letter, “This is Adohi, he came for a marriage proposal.”
“A marriage proposal?”
Dario was joyfully surprised, looking at the letter as if recalling countless memories, his hands trembling with excitement.
“It seems our Lindsey Family's fortune is finally arriving.”
He quickly asked Adohi to come forward, “How is your father doing now?”
“He is well.”
Adohi was polite, “Grandmaster Lin, my father asked me to send his regards to you.”
In fact, Adohi didn’t understand the relationship between his father and Dario.
He said so out of courtesy.
“Haha…”
Dario’s eyes crinkled with laughter.
“Grandfather, as long as you agree to annul the marriage, he will leave immediately.”
Ceren was confident, believing her grandfather always pampered her, so he would never agree to her marrying a country lad!
Unexpectedly.
Dario handed the letter to Ceren, smiling, “You and Adohi will go to the civil affairs bureau this afternoon for the marriage certificate, and get married within this month…”
“But Grandfather…”
Ceren was shocked!
She was planning to have her grandfather tear up the marriage contract and send Adohi away!
But why was her grandfather in such a hurry?
And even to get the marriage certificate today?
Norio, who was deeply concerned for his daughter, also became anxious, “Dad, there are so many outstanding young people in our city, why insist on Ceren marrying this stranger, Adohi?”
Adohi raised his eyebrows, wondering if he wasn't considered outstanding?
“Grandfather, I disagree…”
Ceren shook her head repeatedly.
Old Master Lindsey's expression darkened, “Are you defying your grandfather’s words now?”
“Grandfather…”
Ceren pointed at Adohi, “Look at his poor appearance, he’s just a peasant from the countryside, what’s good about him…”
“Enough! Are you ashamed of farmers? Without them fighting wars and tilling the land, would you have your comfortable life now?”
Old Master Lindsey was so angry that his face turned red, he started coughing heavily, even coughing up blood, and then fainted!
“Grandfather!”
Ceren was terrified, “Please be alright, I’ll do whatever you say, I’ll marry Adohi! Dad, quickly call Dr. Zack for help!”
“Adohi, it’s all your fault, why did you have to come at this time! You are the bane of our Lindsey Family!”
Adohi gave a bitter smile, about to step forward to check and treat Old Master Lindsey, but Ceren pushed him aside, “What are you doing? Haven’t you harmed my grandfather enough?”
“Everyone, make way, let me check!”
At this moment, Dr. Zack rushed down from the second floor, skillfully taking out silver needles, ready to treat Old Master Lindsey.
“No!”
Adohi spoke coldly, “Your acupuncture will only worsen Grandmaster Lin's condition, and might even kill him!”
Ceren was furious, “At a time like this, you still want to cause trouble?”
Adohi’s eyes flashed sharply, “If you want your grandfather to die, let Dr. Zack proceed. But don’t blame me for his death later!”
Ceren was shocked, and Dr. Zack’s face turned pale, “Brat, what are you saying!”
