This Prospective Husband Isn't Suitable-Get Rid of Him

Inside a luxuriously decorated room on the "Radiance Thirteen" Mechanical City.

The Sunflower Merchant Guild has now become the most important business partner of the Five Great Families of City of Radiance, and this time, with Vice President Fia von Sebil personally attending, the Five Great Families have shown it even greater importance.

Although the city's "All-out War Conscription" forced this noble lady to personally leave the city to participate in the hunting operation, the Winst Family also personally sent their eldest son, August, to accompany her, showing them great respect.

Fia had a cold expression on her face ever since she returned from the hunting camp.

Rein refused her request to redeem the gloves, which infuriated the socialite who was very influential in Omar's high society.

If this "scandal" were to reach Emperor Oma, the Lopez Family would surely become a laughingstock among the high nobility.

Ha! The young lady of the noble Lopez Family actually went to fight a bunch of crude commoner fighters?

Not only did she have to compete, but she also got beaten up and lost the coming-of-age gift that Grand Duke Rubiao had given her!

They had originally thought they could pay to redeem the gloves and that the matter could be resolved quietly, but they never expected that a lowly commoner would not give the "Sunflower Merchant Guild" any face at all.

Just then, a knocking sound rang out on the door.

The door clicked open, and Um, the young Uhm in black from the fighting arena, walked in.

"Mother, did you call me?"

"Um."

Fia put down the ledger she was reading and asked, "How is your sister now?"

"He is breaking through to the [Ascender] level after taking the Gene Potion, and it seems to be going very smoothly."

Uhm responded calmly.

He had already heard about what had happened from the butler before he arrived, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Mother, are you worried about the boxing gloves? You don't need to worry too much. August has already gone. This kind of thing doesn't require you to go there personally; it's most appropriate to leave it to the Winst Family to handle."

He paused, then continued, "After all, this hunting base is their territory. Those people will definitely have their ways."

"Hopefully we can get it back smoothly. That young man named Rein is unwilling to budge, so getting it back won't be that simple."

Fia frowned again as she spoke.

Her business sense told her something was off.

For the hunters, forcibly taking possession of [Karnap's Sacred Gauntlets] is more of a curse than a blessing.

Any hunter with a modicum of sense would, even if they didn't give face to the "Sunflower Merchant Guild," at least consider the face of the Five Great Families, and logically, they should absolutely not refuse their proposal.

Unless, they are fearless and have nothing to fear.

Moreover, the old man named "Tuster" actually knew his mother?

This made her even more confused.

With so many coincidences coming together, many things don't seem as simple as they appear on the surface.

After a moment's hesitation, she asked again, "Uhm, have you found out who those people are?"

Uhm said, "That Karl is a fairly well-known mechanic from City of Radiance. He owns a Mechanical Workshop there and has been running it for many years. The old man is his grandfather; he hasn't shown his face much in recent years, and not many people know him. I heard he's terminally ill and is surviving on Life Potion."

He paused, then continued, "As for that doctor's apprentice named Rein, we don't have accurate information yet. But what is certain is that neither of them are nobles registered in the two great empires. In fact, none of the slightly larger aristocratic families have such people."

Hearing this, Fia's furrowed brows remained unchanged.

This is very puzzling.

Although his daughter's martial arts talent was not as good as her brother's, she was still First Tier.

It's absolutely impossible for her to be defeated by any ordinary hunter with no resources or background.

"Investigate again!"

Thinking of this, Fia's eyes flickered with caution as she said, "Until we figure out who that Rein is, our chamber of commerce should avoid making enemies. Let the Winst Family handle it."

Uhm nodded. "Understood, Mother."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

At this moment, Fia put on an unusually serious face and said, "'Blackwater Platform' has sent a secret order to eliminate some core members of the Five Great Families. So, Uhm, find an opportunity to arrange for someone to take care of that August."

"Should we kill that guy?"

Upon hearing this, Uhm frowned slightly. "But... what about him and Fia?"

Their "Sunflower Merchant Guild" was originally an OMA government-run chamber of commerce, and in its operations it was also responsible for collecting intelligence for the OMA military and handling some secret matters.

He wasn't surprised by the secret order from "Blackwater Platform," but rather by why this person had to be killed.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Didn't Father have a plan to arrange a marriage between Fia and the Winst Family?"

"I've met August, and he's unlikely to amount to much. Although he's the eldest son of the Winst Family, his Transcendent talent is only average. He lacks not only magical talent but also sufficient courage and skill. Even if he becomes the patriarch in the future, he may not be able to gain real power."

When Fia said this, her expression was cold-blooded and numb, completely lacking the graceful and gentle demeanor she displayed in front of others.

In a single sentence, he was sentenced to death.

After a pause, she continued, "The Five Great Families have many offspring, so let's find a suitable husband for Fia later."

Marriages in high society have always been like this: without an exchange of benefits, they have no value.

Upon hearing this, Uhm remained expressionless. "Understood, Mother."

As night fell, a thick fog descended.

Large bonfires were lit in the camp.

After hearing Bazel's warning, Rein stayed in the camp and did not go out.

He also made a point of observing the Blue-tailed Hawk in the sky. Just as Bazel had said, their flight paths were indeed somewhat unusual, as if they were monitoring this "Plague Base".

Clearly, barbarians had discovered the camp.

Of course, the Perception Extraordinary in the camp also noticed this, but no one cared.

Today, the "Iron Boots Scavenger Group" slaughtered an entire Barbarian Tribe and hung their heads outside the Mechanical City, all to provoke the remaining barbarians to come and seek revenge.

But Rein knew that the Kohlman Clan's fighting strength lay not only in the warriors' own combat abilities, but also in their priests' skill in controlling magical beasts.

The higher the priest's rank, the wider the range and the higher the Beast Tide the monsters they can control.

And the area around this "Plague Marsh" is never short of all kinds of magical beasts and strange creatures.

During the past two months of hunting, High-tier Demonic Beast have frequently appeared in the swamp, and the hunters have already killed dozens of magical beasts of the Third Tier or above.

There are also many creatures that are not strong individually, but are extremely deadly when they come in groups.

Bazel is a werewolf, and he is most sensitive to any unusual movements of magical beasts.

He issued the warning because he sensed that this situation was somewhat different.

Some large creatures deep in the swamp seemed to have been alerted as well, their auras growing increasingly frenzied.

The scale of this "Beast Tide" is probably quite large.

Bazel stopped wandering around and stayed near the tents of the "Soy Sauce Scavenger Group".

These past few days have been turbulent, and he has to be extra careful.

In the afternoon, the vice president of the "Sunflower Merchant Guild" had just come to show off the superiority of high society. Unexpectedly, August, the eldest son of the Winst Family, came later to show off his own way in a very aggressive manner.

That guy immediately started talking about "Old Liangchen," saying, "Give me, August, some face, and hand over your boxing gloves. I'll let bygones be bygones."

They're not even talking about money anymore, it's blatant robbery.

Holy crap!

Your reputation as a young master is worth absolutely nothing to me.

Your Winst Family secretly used underhanded tactics to have "Blackwater Platform" kidnap my teacher, Ilubeck. We haven't even settled accounts for this yet, and you're still giving me face?

Then he was rendered speechless by a lecture from Rein on the "City of Radiance Scavenger Base Management Regulations".

In the end, the commotion was quite large, attracting the attention of the base's security team. The young master could only make some threats and slink away.

Rein wasn't afraid of offending anyone; at least he had met Master Cavo today. This pillar of the City of Radiance was in excellent spirits and looked like he still had eight to ten years left to live.

As long as he is still alive, the rules will remain, Five Great Families will not be able to cause any trouble.

Besides, I'm already part of a faction. After this hunt, I probably won't stay in City of Radiance permanently anymore, but will reunite with that Her Highness the Eldest Princess, and most likely I'll be following a powerful figure from now on.

Are you afraid of some young master Winston?

He didn't think much of it.

Before I knew it, the night was deep.

Bazel suddenly woke Rein and warned again, "The attack is tonight!"

Thanks to 'Little Pudding Eats Grapes', 'Beidangyun', 'Qijuhou', 'Ying Xiaoqiu', and 'Sexy Va'. Thanks to a few people for their generous support. Thank you.
