BXBX NOVEL Chapter 331: Missing
" Do you know just what non sense you are spouting? These words are enough to put you in the prison- "
Jayden didn\'t seem to care about his outburst as he lazily said:
" Why are you getting so hyper at least listen to me properly, so I was saying that no ordinary man is suitable for someone like Xiao, don\'t you agree? "
Dong wanted to rebuke him, but in the end, he just nodded his head since his words were reasonable. Then Jayden continued:
" By those words, I don\'t mean that the king is just an average guy or anything, but I just want to say that a perfect girl like her deserves the best, so we have decided to hold a competition two months later to find the best groom for her. What are your thoughts on this? "
Jayden asked with a small smile. Dong was surprised by his word game, but he wasn\'t going to fall into his trap so easily, shaking his head he spoke:
" There is no need to waste time over such things, who would be a better groom for her than the king himself, so I suggest that we stop with these useless formalities. "
Jayden was already expecting those words, he was still smiling making Dong a bit nervous.
" Hmm, it seems you are right, the king is the most special man in this Kingdom after all, so we shouldn\'t waste our time on these things. "
Jayden said after a few moments, Lao and Xiao didn\'t seem surprised by his words, they knew what he wanted to do exactly.
But Dong was taken aback by his words, he couldn\'t believe that Jayden changed his decision so easily, but he couldn\'t ask for something better he smiled sensing that his task was almost successful, just as he was about to speak Jayden interrupted him:
" But... " Just after one word he fell silent, Dong felt that something was wrong as he asked:
" But what? "
Jayden sighed, pretending to regret his decision.
" I thought that by winning Xiao Rong\'s hand in marriage in front of everyone during a competition the king\'s image would become even better in the eyes of his followers so I had already sent some servants to announce about this competition. "
" What!!? " Dong stood up from his chair and shouted at Jayden, then he hastily said:
" Call back those servants and tell them that there is no need for s- "
But his words were interrupted by the loud announcement from outside, it was the Voice Towers that were announcing about the marriage competition, listening to it Dong slumped back on his chair and lost all the colours on his face.
" Ah... I guess we were a bit too late, anyway It doesn\'t matter I\'m sure that no one is a match for the king. " Jayden said pretending to be surprised.
Dong knew that it was all their plan, if everyone knew about this competition then the king wouldn\'t be able to force the Rong family into a marriage and he would have to participate in the competition to marry her, otherwise, he would get a lot of public criticism which would tarnish his reputation.
After a moment of silence, he stood up and walked out of the room with both of his guards following behind him, then he contacted the king and told him about all the events that had happened, the king became angry at first but then he just ordered for Dong to return for now.
" If it\'s just a competition then we don\'t have to worry, there are thousands of ways to deal with it, and who would even dare to fight against me, so just come back for now, also we will give those gifts after the competition to the Rong family so bring them back. I need some time to recover to my peak anyway "
Saying that the connection ended, Dong heaved a sigh of relief since the king didn\'t seem much angry he walked into the room and spoke:
" Alright then, the king has decided to participate in the marriage competition. It was nice meeting you ms Rong, thanks for giving me your time. " Saying that Dong turned around and without waiting for a reply he began to walk outside.
Lao and Xiao smiled, seeing that their plan had worked out in the end, just when Xiao was about to say something, they heard an angry shout from outside, the three of them walked out and saw Dong pacing all around, searching for something.
" What\'s wrong? " Jayen asked, walking near him.
" When you came here, did you see the carriages here? " Dong asked. Jayden pretended to think for a moment then he shook his head and replied:
" There was nothing here. Why, did you come here by a carriage? " Jayden asked innocently.
All of the carriages have disappeared along with the gifts present in them, all those gifts were very expensive since they were herbs and Treasures, and for some reason, Lao and Xiao felt that it was Jayden\'s doing.
Dong frowned and looked at the guards who shook their heads in response since they couldn\'t trace the aura of people guarding the carriages, after all the carriages had already gone quite far away.
Dong was getting impatient,and began to panic he was constantly trying to contact them through the jade plate.
" Maybe they returned to the castle or maybe they ran away. " Jayden said from the side.
Dong felt that it was possible for them to run away with all that treasure, he looked at his guards and began to order something, then he took out several jade plates and began contacting different people, while Jayden turned and began walking back into the house followed by both the women.
After entering he went straight to one of the rooms inside the house, which was filled with various treasures and cultivation materials.
" I knew it, you are the one who did it hehe. " Xiao Rong said with a laugh, while Lao seemed afraid of the consequences if they were to be caught.
" Will it be alright? What if they find out that we have them? " Lao Rong gave sounds to her worries.
" Don\'t worry about that, both of you can use these resources, I\'m sure they will last for more than six months. " Jayden said non challantly.
Taking them in her spatial ring, Lao Rong turned to Jayden and asks: " Do you have any plans about the competition? "
Jayden shrugged and responded: " What\'s there to plan, I will beat everyone there and win the competition. "
Shaking her hand, she spoke: " Even if you are very strong, I\'m sure the king is going to use under handed methods, we have to think of something. "
