Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 937 Surpass Everything
At their age, Lucilla and Tate had already possessed a strength that many spirit manipulatorsdreamed of and spent their whole time working for. It was because their powerful families hadenough financial resources and material resources to collect rare treasures. They used the wealth oftheir families to obtain the rarest of treasures, and with these treasures, they rapidly increased theirstrength.
Therefore, if one was to put aside the first two treasures and look at the third treasure alone, whichwas a middle-grade Dark Heaven Egg, it was still grand enough to attract the attention of almosteveryone in the hall.
In sharp contrast to what everyone was feeling, Lucilla beheld the gifts with distaste, and the factthat Tate had gifted her with a middle-grade Dark Heaven Egg gave her a bad feeling. She believedthat the Qi Clan must be up to something. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so generous as to give her amiddle-grade Dark Heaven Egg, which could be seen as the most precious gift among all the gifts.Lucilla immediately looked sideways at Lucas, but when she saw him shake his head in disapproval,she immediately replied with a smile, "These three treasures are too expensive. I am afraid that Ican't accept them.”
"Please take them, Chief Lucilla. The Qi Clan has many treasures like these. The Cao Clan is thelargest clan in the Timber Deity Empire, so I was actually worried that you wouldn't take theseunimportant treasures seriously,” Alexander replied with a smarmy smile. His words painted him as arich fellow, and it was obvious that he was doing this not to be generous, but to show off in front ofthe other guests. Although he said they were unimportant treasures, the three treasures he wasgiving were invaluable, especially for spirit manipulators.
"I believe in the saying that nothing is gained without merits. Even though they are unimportanttreasures to you, they are more precious than the gifts sent by the others. If I take them, I'm afraid Ican't live with it," Lucilla steadfastly refused.
Alexander's face darkened with malice, as he winked at Tate secretly.
"Lucilla, I am giving these three treasures to you from my own pocket. These have nothing to dowith the Qi Clan,” Tate said as he looked at Lucilla affectionately, but inwardly, he had seen hisfather's signal and knew that it was time to do as they planned
"In that case, I can't take them! If I accept them, people will think that I am intimate with you,”Lucilla responded with a serious look in her beautiful face.
"Actually, Lucilla, I came here today to announce something,” Tate said as he suddenly looked atLucilla sincerely.
"If it's a personal matter, please come another day." Lucilla's bad feeling immediately swelled intogigantic proportions, and her heart thudded anxiously when she heard what Tate had said.
"I have to announce it now," Tate insisted firmly, which made her even more anxious.
She was worried that the Qi Clan had come to play some dirty tricks to deal with the Cao Clan. Ifonly she could ask the people to drag Tate out in front of everyone, but alas, she could do nothing."Why are you doing this, Tate? Today is my chief's birthday, and so many elders have come to paytheir respects. Your reckless behavior is not good for you and the Qi Clan!" Lucas cut in. He also feltthat the Qi Clan had attended the party for a sinister purpose.
But everyone else present was interested in what Tate had to say, so none of them stood up forLucilla.
Meanwhile, Tate glanced at the other guests and said loudly, "All of you must have heard that I grewup with the chief of the Cao Clan, and we were once engaged. But later, for some reason, ourmarriage did not push through. However, in the past few years, I have been unable to forget her,and even now, my love for her runs deeply in my veins. Moreover, I know that she also has a deepaffection for me. So today, I want to take this opportunity to express my love to her."
His words caused an uproar in the hall. Everyone was shocked because not even in their dreams didthey imagine Tate confessing his love to Lucilla in such a public and grand manner. However, it waswell known that Tate had gotten married, as it was because of his marriage that the Qi Clan becamewhat it was today. But now, Tate had the audacity to announce something like that on such anoccasion. It was almost incomprehensible and totally inappropriate as far as Lucilla is concerned.After Tate finished speaking, most of the people turned to Alexander, waiting for his reaction, as hisstatement would obviously have a great impact on the Qi Clan's reputation. However, Alexanderremained silent without so much as a censuring glance at Tate, so it became evident that he was inon it too. This confused them all the more.
"What are you talking about, Tate? You are welcome as a guest to this party, but I will not allow youto say such shameless things! What do you mean by saying that I have a deep affection for you?You are too brazen!" Anger coursed through Lucilla. She knew that Tate's statement wouldundoubtedly make people misunderstand her relationship with him. He was already married, sowhat he said implied that she was a home wrecker.
But what pissed her off the most was that Tate was deliberately saying these things to confuse thepeople and make them see her as his mistress. He was a man, so it would not impact his reputationmuch, but she was still an unmarried woman. People would think that she was an immoral woman ifthey believed what Tate had said. That would damage her reputation and would have a greaterimpact on the Cao Clan than the Qi Clan.
"How dare you slander my sister? I am sure she would rather take a pig than pay attention to you!"With Queenie's personality, she couldn't sit still any longer, so she shouted in defense of her sister."Queenie..." Lucilla turned to her sister and shook her head.
"Leave it to your sister," Lucas muttered quietly beside them.
Queenie pouted but quieted down, but not before glaring at Tate heatedly like she wanted to cuthim into a million tiny pieces.
“Does the Qi Clan want to fight with our Cao Clan like Kilkenny cats? Lucilla thought resentfully. Shedidn't expect that the Qi Clan would come up with such a dirty trick to tarnish her reputation. Andshe was worried that the consequences of this simple trick would be unimaginable.
Sure enough, when she looked around, she felt like everyone was looking at her with a strangegleam in their eyes. Every time they whispered among themselves, it felt like they were talkingabout her. Obviously, they had believed Tate's lies. From their point of view, Tate would not jokeabout something like this, as it would also tarnish the reputation of the Qi Clan. As a man, if he trulyloved a woman, it was reasonable for him to announce it. Therefore, his statement made them thinkthat Lucilla was, indeed, a home wrecker.
"You are married. Please pay attention to your own reputation!” Seeing that Tate had misled thepeople, Lucas grew very angry.
"Yesterday, I divorced my wife for Lucilla. Today, I come here not only to express my love for her butalso to ask Lucilla for her hand.” At once, the whispers that had begun to quiet down exploded intoan uproar once again.
Everyone was shocked, and Tate's courage made them feel that his love for Lucilla would trulysurpass everything.
