Chapter 13: I, Shen Fei, Am Going To Break Off The Engagement This Weekend

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yuan looked at Shen Fei with a doubtful expression.

“Is what you just said true?”

Today, he had heard that Aloy had specially gone to the beast breeding tower.

Out of curiosity, he specifically looked for the staff there to ask about Aloy’s situation at that time. He did not expect to hear that Aloy had stood up for Shen Fei!

Thinking of the scene described by the staff, Li Yuan felt incredibly sour about it..

‘How detestable! Which part of Shen Fei is worthy of Aloy’s favor?’

In terms of family background, although Shen Fei’s grandfather was the city’s Hero, in the end, he was not as prominent as the Li family. fr eewebn ovel.com

In terms of wealth, Shen Fei’s entire family’s resources added together was not even worth as much as the jade ring on his finger.

Could it be that Aloy sought his handsome face?

“It’s absolutely true!”

Shen Fei looked at Li Yuan with sincerity.

“But why should I believe you?”

Li Yuan flicked his sleeves. The emotions that had just calmed down were stirred up once more.

“Don’t make fun of me, I’m not stupid! You and Aloy grew up together, how could you not have feelings for each other?”

“How many times have you seen us together?”

Shen Fei looked at Li Yuan calmly.

It was fine if Li Yuan liked to be a bootlicker, but he always thought of others as bootlickers like him. It was so f*cking shameless.

However, even if Shen Fei repeated himself, Li Yuan still would not believe it. He paced back and forth in front of Shen Fei, his brows tightly knitted.

The two lackeys at the side immediately followed.

“Young Master, in my opinion, you don’t have to be so conflicted. Why don’t you just beat him up?”

“I also agree with him, Young Master. Anyway, he was all alone now. There’s no one else in the alley.”

One of the underlings inadvertently glanced at Shen Fei. He then moved closer to Li Yuan’s ear and whispered.

“I can’t say for sure. In private, isn’t Shen Fei and Aloy’s relationship already like glue?”

Upon hearing these words, Li Yuan looked at Shen Fei with eyes that were so envious that they were about to spit fire.

Shen Fei sighed.

If he had known that he would encounter such a situation, he would have directly upgraded the Flame Owl in the beast breeding tower and beat up the three people in front of him.

However, it was too late to regret now.

“Li Yuan, you should know the current situation of my family, right?”

“Of course. As a businessman, I am quite aware of your family’s miserable state.” Li Yuan looked at Shen Fei with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

The Li family had snatched the Shen family’s business and successfully became the second most powerful family that way.

“But what do you mean by bringing this up all of a sudden? Are you going to recognize me as your godfather or something?” Li Yuan sized Shen Fei up. “I don’t want a useless son like you!”

When these words came out, Shen Fei was immediately rendered speechless.

“I’m saying, anyone with eyes can see that our family has been declining for a long time now. But the mayor’s Gelin family is still flourishing. They control the economy and politics of the entire city.”

“Indeed.” Li Yuan nodded, but the confusion on his face did not decrease at all.

“With Aloy’s arrogant personality, she would never fall for me as I am. So, instead of sitting here and waiting for the other party to cancel the engagement with me, I’d rather take the initiative to find them.”

After saying this, Shen Fei pointed in the direction of the mayor’s mansion.

“I, Shen Fei, will go and break off the engagement this weekend!”

Hearing this, Li Yuan’s eyes widened in disbelief. However, his shock quickly turned into extreme ecstasy, and the corners of his mouth were almost raised to the sky!

As long as this guy and the Empress broke off their engagement, he would have a chance to take advantage of the situation! Moreover, whether it was family background, talent, or wealth, he was more than comparable to Shen Fei!

“Remember what you said! I’ll be waiting outside the mayor’s mansion this weekend! If I don’t see you when the time comes, I’ll drag you there, even if I have to break your legs!”

After saying these bold words, Li Yuan let go of Shen Fei and called his other two lackeys to leave with him.

“Zack, Zachary, let’s go! You’ll be following me to the mayor’s mansion this weekend!”

Shen Fei tidied up his messy clothes and watched the other party’s back as he left. In his heart, he silently added this event to his account of personal grudges.

‘This stupid bootlicker, let’s see how I’ll deal with him when I level up in the future.’

However, even if Shen Fei broke off the engagement, so what?

With Aloy’s high standards and requirements, the Li family’s young master, Li Yuan, could not even meet the passing line.

When he thought of how Li Yuan had proposed to Aloy but was kicked out of the house, Shen Fei felt a burst of happiness in his heart.

Without the dumb trio blocking his way, Shen Fei quickly returned to his house.

Shen Fei’s home was once very lively. The people who came and went every day, whether they were people who asked his Grandpa Richard for help or wanted to do business with him, they trampled all over the family’s threshold without a care in the world.

However, after his grandfather passed away, everything had changed. Nowadays, they could not even afford to hire two bodyguards at the entrance.

Shen Fei pushed open the door. The red paint on the door had chipped away over time, making it look extremely dilapidated.

Once their family fell from grace, thieves started breaking in. But at this point, even thieves and scavengers would not want to come here. freewebnovel(.)com

The moment he pushed open the door, many memories entered Shen Fei’s mind.

The Hall of Heroes belonged to the hero of the city, his grandfather.

His grandfather was a Beastmaster with an A-class talent. The talent skill he had was Skill Amplification, which could increase the skill effect of spirit beasts by several hundred-fold.

The two Yin-Yang spirit beasts under him, one black and one white, could attack and defend!

Back when the city was attacked by unknown beasts, it was his grandfather’s hard work that saved the city from disaster.

As his grandfather’s descendant, his father was also a famous, unmatched genius in the city.

His mother was very similar to his father, both of them were Beastmasters with A-class talents.

Under the joint management of his father and grandfather, the family grew stronger and stronger.

Shen Fei looked at the dilapidated courtyard and sighed.

If the accident had not happened back then, then this spat with the Li family would have been non-existent.

One day, when he was sleeping soundly, his mother suddenly left without saying goodbye. Even after searching the city for several days, there was no news of her.

His father, who had been extremely hardworking, had gone out of the city to look for his mother. When he returned, he became depressed and got addicted to alcohol.

At that time, his grandfather’s body was getting weaker by the day. He could do nothing as he watched his son give up on himself.

On top of that, all the powerful families were putting pressure on them. Grandfather eventually passed away from overwork.

Once, all the rich and powerful families in the city tried to please Shen Fei’s family when his grandfather was still alive. Yet the moment he died, they revealed their fangs and completely divided the market that Shen Fei’s family occupied!

And that led to his family’s downfall!
