Chapter 994 Host! How Can You Bargain Like That?!
After she calmed down, Yabemiya curiously asked Elizabeth, “Err… Big Sister, how did you find me?”
“I got the ring that Father left behind. He told me about you, so I found you based on the information he left behind.” Elizabeth opened her hand, and in her palm was the ring that she had told Miya to take care of.
“Although Father did not look for you, he still felt guilty towards you. In this ring, there is a present for you. It’s a golden dragon source. Once you absorb the dragon source, you will be able to get rid of your identity as a half-dragon and become a real giant dragon.” Elizabeth put the ring in Miya’s hand.
“Become a real giant dragon?” Yabemiya looked at the ring in her hand with hesitation.
Elizabeth said, “Giant dragons fly in the sky and exist in the highest level of the Norland Continent. After you become a giant dragon, you will be able to have strong powers. That way, you will be able to protect yourself and the things you want to protect.”
“Protect the people I want to protect…” Yabemiya looked up at Elizabeth. Her gaze slowly became resolute. She nodded her head hard, and said, “I want to become a real giant dragon. I want to protect you and not let anyone harm you again.”
Elizabeth looked at Miya. It was ridiculous for a half-dragon with only brute strength to say that she wanted to protect an 8th-tier dragon like her, but when she heard it, she felt warmth in her heart.
Even her parents would only keep telling her: you need to become strong so that you can protect yourself. They never told her that they would protect her.
“In another 10 days, you can consume this golden dragon source. When you become a real giant dragon, I will teach you how to train and fight.”
“What about you? Will you stay? Boss already agreed to let you go for an interview. If you’re willing, you can go to the restaurant for an interview with me today.” Yabemiya looked at her expectantly.
Elizabeth hesitated for a while. When she saw Yabemiya’s expectant gaze, she nodded. “Alright.”
“That’s great!” Yabemiya said with joy. She wiped the tears off her face and pulled Elizabeth to the window to take a seat. “I have so much to ask you…”
…
“Say, where did you go last night? And where were you this morning?”
In a stone hut, Benjamin looked at Rachel solemnly. His voice was stern.
Rachel hung her head low, afraid to look at Benjamin as she softly replied, “I… I was feeling a little unwell yesterday, so I went home early. This morning… This morning…”
“This morning, Rachel went to visit my father with me.” Just then, a voice came from the door. Hada walked in and glanced at Rachel, and then suddenly dropped to his knees in front of Benjamin as he sincerely said to him, “Uncle, please give me Rachel’s hand in marriage. I will treat her well and won’t let her suffer a single bit.”
When she heard Hada’s voice, Rachel was surprised, but when she saw Hada kneeling in front of her father, the nervousness on her face quickly became joy.
“What… What are you doing? Get up!” Benjamin looked a little unhappily at Hada kneeling in front of him, and said, “You can’t even take care of yourself, what right do you have to say that you can take good care of my Rachel and not let her suffer? If Rachel married you, she would still have to support you and the old blacksmith. I will never agree to this!”
Hada’s gaze became dim. He looked at his two missing fingers, and did not know what to do all of a sudden.
Rachel dropped to her knees as well in front of Benjamin and looked at him as she resolutely said, “Father, I am willing to marry Hada! I am willing to live with him, whether in wealth or in poverty, I am willing to face everything with him.”
Hada’s eyes lit up. He looked at Rachel and Rachel looked back at him. The gazes were filled with love when they met each other.
“You… Get up!” Benjamin looked at Rachel and was so angry that even his mustache was shaking.
“I won’t get up if you don’t agree to it.” Rachel shook her head.
“I will never agree to it, not even if I die!” Benjamin stood up in a huff and stormed out of the house, slamming the door behind him.
The two knelt in silence for a while. Hada stood up with the help of the wall, and then reached out to help Rachel up. He apologetically said, “I’m sorry, it’s me…”
“You’re great. It’s just that my father is too stubborn.” Rachel reached out and gently covered Hada’s mouth. She shook her head as tears glimmered in her eyes.
Hada’s gaze became resolute. He held Rachel’s hands and gently said, “I will think of a way. Don’t be too upset, and don’t upset Uncle, either. He isn’t young anymore. It will be bad if he falls ill because of that.”
“Mm-hm.” Rachel nodded. She smiled. No matter what others might think, this man could always make her feel at ease.
Silly girl, how much suffering in this world have you experienced? If you marry that silly boy, Hada, God knows how much more you’re going to suffer. How am I supposed to face your deceased mother? Benjamin leaned against the door and sighed deeply.
…
It’s all my fault. Useless old man. I can’t even help Beck marry the lady he likes… At the corner of the wall outside, Angus sighed in self-reproach, his eyes filled with worry.
…
A black horse-drawn carriage pulled over in front of Mamy Restaurant. Michael got off from the horse-drawn carriage and looked at Mag, who was lying leisurely on a lounge chair at the door, and said, “Boss Mag, I hope I didn’t disturb you by turning up without an invitation?”
There was a small coffee table beside the lounge chair, and on it was a little furnace that was boiling some tea. The water had already come to a boil, and the fragrance of tea wafted out.
Mag opened his eyes when he heard the voice. He quickly stood up with a smile when he saw Michael walking over, and said, “It’s my fault for not welcoming the city lord properly when you graced us with your presence. I wonder what brings you here?”
“I have something to trouble you with.” Michael went straight to the chair at the side and turned it to sit by the coffee table. He smilingly said, “Boss Mag, are you not inviting me to have some tea? This scent is much more enticing than the tea leaves I have.”
“I’ve overlooked it.” Mag sat down with a smile, poured a cup of red tea in a purple sand cup, and placed it in front of Michael.
Michael picked the teacup up and took a sip. His eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile as he said, “Wonderful tea.”
Michael placed the teacup down and looked at Mag as he said, “Boss Mag, I am here because of that missing-person notice you put up yesterday. I heard that the old uncle found his son thanks to the portrait that you drew. Last night, Operation Daisy was held in the city lord’s castle and the Gray Temple. With the help of a mysterious hero, we saved 403 children. Some of these children had been kidnapped for years, so they look very different from what they used to. I would like you to draw a portrait of their parents for these children. Is that possible?”
“500 copper coins for a portrait,” Michael said as he looked at Michael with clear eyes.
“Host! How can you bargain like that?!” The angry voice of the system sounded.
