After the bodyguard left, Zachariah asked, “They’re from Yusky? Do we know them? I don’t seem to


    recall having any contact with the forces there.”


    Zenoah thought for a moment and said, “The only people we’ve met from Yusky are those from Yusky


    Mansion during Severin’s appointment in South Link City. Could it be them? We’ve never contacted any


    other forces in Yusky before that.”

    “That’s odd. Why would theye to look for us then? They had a grudge against Severin and


    offended. him before knowing that he was the current governor, butter knelt to apologize to him. It


    was pretty embarrassing at the time. I wonder why they’re here to see us.”


    Zachariah could not wrap his head around why Yacob and Manny woulde to meet them.


    Zenoah pondered over it and took a guess. “Do you think they’re here because we have a good


    rtionship with Severin? Perhaps they saw that we were in South County Mansion at the time, so now


    they’re nning to cooperate with us on projects and do some business together. They might be


    expecting to use this as a means to mend their rtionship with Severin and get on his good side too!”


    “It’s possible,” Zachariah said with a nod, “but it’s unlikely. Since they’re already here, we’ll go with the


    flowter.”


    At that point, Yacob and Manny walked over with some of their family’s strongest men.


    “I didn’t expect you to drop by, Mister Yacob!” Zachariah stood up with a smile and walked over with


    Zenoah.


    “I’m very pleased to be able to drink some tea here!” Yacob said with augh. After exchanging some


    pleasantries with Zachariah, he frowned and remarked, “It seems your daughter isn’t around.”


    “You mean She?” Zachariah knitted his brows. “She’s still at South Link City. May I ask why you’re


    here?”


    “Oh? She hasn’te back yet?” Yacob was a little surprised. After some thought, he finally said, “I’ll


    be frank, Mister Zachariah. My son, Manny, fell in love with your daughter when he firstid eyes on her


    the other day. We’re here today to ask if you would be willing to consider letting She marry him.”


    Manny stepped forward from behind and said with a smile, “Uncle Zachariah, I fell in love with your


    daughter at first sight, and I hope our two families can forge a good rtionship through this marriage.


    Your family will benefit a lot from this arrangement, and you can rest assured that I will treat She


    well.”


    Zachariah and Zenoah looked at each other with odd expressions. Though She’s rtionship with


    Severin still had a way to go, both Zachariah and Zenoah could feel that things were progressing on a


    positive note and there was some glimmer of hope for She.


    Meanwhile, they both knew that the Ladds were very arrogant, so it was understandable that they did


    not want She to marry Manny.


    “Marriage is a very serious matter, Mister Yacob. I will have to discuss this with She and seek her


    opinion,” Zachariah said after some thought..


    An old man behind Yacob had a gloomy expression as he stepped forward and said, “Mister Zachariah,


    what else is there to discuss about this kind of matter? Parents usually have the final say over


    marriage, and the Ladds are one of the best families in the entire south county. Even our city, Yusky, is


    one of the more famous cities!”


    He then paused before remarking coldly, “Or do you think that Mister Manny isn’t good enough for your


    daughter?”


    W


    Ok a step forward and advised, “You ought to be more sensible, Mister Zachariah. You’re lucky that


    Mister Manny took a fancy to your daughter, and your family will benefit from this marriage!”


    Zachariah did not expect the Ladds’ people to be so shameless and rude toward them by relying on


    Ladds power. His expression soured and he said, “My daughter isn’t amodity that you can buy and


    sell by force.”
