Chapter 134: A Wicked Engagement Trap

"Finished?" Qian Jin shook the bottle while looking at Caeller. "So, headmaster, can I have my certificate back?"
The headmaster hesitated between the certificate and the life-or-death line in front of him. If he pa.s.sed that line, he had to kowtow! Otherwise, it would be considered a provocation, which might lead to his own death!
Caeller frowned. After contemplating for a while, he handed over it to a Level 7 Warrior behind him and said, "send it over!" The poor warrior held the certificate, feeling like he was holding a piece of burning charcoal. He looked around, only to find that everyone subconsciously moved to the other side. For G.o.d’s sake, it was a line of death!
The Level 7 Warrior put on a long face as if it were his father in the coffin. Step by step, he finally moved to Qian Jin, and with a s.h.i.+ver he handed over the certificate, and then he continued to walk to the coffin. It wasn’t until after kowtowing nine times that he quickly got up and ran back to the crowd. His heart was still bouncing and his body was shaking in fear that he might become a scapegoat again.
"Well... well played, you!" Caeller angrily spoke, "Since you are the guardian of the Roll Family, I can let go what you did to Caesars, since it doesn’t violate the laws of Zence Empire. However, you humiliated my family, and I"ll never let this go!"
Caeller’s eyes drifted past Qian Jin and onto Rosella, who was holding a child nearby. A sinister sneer came out of his swarthy face, "There’s one more thing. I am here for Rosella!" Qian Jin raised his eyebrows and his eyes swept away the line. Suddenly, the warriors standing behind Caeller went limp. No one dared to move forward for the woman their boss wanted. The Zhanmadao was like flowing autumn water. For the warriors, the weapon lying quietly beside Qian Jin was qualified enough to be named a nightmare.
As soon as the tallest warrior took his first step, Caeller slapped his thick and fat arm and shook his head in a confident smile. "Mr. Glan, you don’t need to move. We have proof and evidence, and naturally Mayor Sabonis will do us justice! It takes more than a guardian’s power to meddle with this!"
Staring at the rolling bottle, Qian Jin did not even bother to give the stupid *sshole a look or to stop this farce! He wanted to see how much the fat man had brought and whether it was enough to be counted as interest for Rollin’s revenge!
"The guardian of the Roll Family," Caeller straightened his collar and acted like a gentleman/ He put on a false smile and said, "Since Rollin pa.s.sed away, his wife Julius..." While looking around in the hall, he didn’t find the woman he had always wanted to hunt down in bed. The woman just didn"t know any better. How could she not show up to keep a vigil over the corpse? Some superficial practices were necessary. Someday in the future, he would definitely get her in bed and...
"Cough..." The dirty man cleared his throat and slightly raised his head, "Rollin’s wife Julius shall be the next house owner of the family. As the mother of the infant, she was too overwhelmed to handle such a great business with only her sister-in-law, Rosella!"
Rojin? On hearing this name, Qian Jin moved his eyes away from the bottle for the first time. A look back at Rosella and the baby in her arms forced him out a faint smile! Oh, Rojin! Qian Jin? Rollin?
"Well," Caeller gradually picked had a high spirit, "Julius approached me in private. She thought that women, including Rosella, are not convenient in handling business transactions. Therefore, she hoped to marry Rosella to a nephew of mine, Cage. In this way, our Cae Family can help them take care of the business on a temporary basis. When Rojin grows up, he can just take it back."
Qian Jin was teasing the chubby little guy with his index finger during the whole speech as if he weren’t listening the bulls.h.i.+t at all! And the giggling laughter kept coming from the baby who was clinging tightly to the finger, which brought some livelihood to the hall!
Caeller frowned at the absent-minded man and adjusted his feelings, planning to finish the unfinished words! As long as the Mayor would step forward in the name of law, it would be useless even if you were a guardian or whatever! At that time, Qian Jin would be n.o.body but a dog that lived on dependence of the Cae family!
On thought of that, his wrinkled eyebrows separated, revealing a disgusting expression. "I have thought about Julius"s advice earnestly since our two families have always had some friendly business transactions and my nephew Cage is a good warrior who is at the perfect age to marry. The two youngsters will make a perfect match, so I agreed!"
"You agreed?" Qian Jin slightly raised his chin and quickly glanced at Caeller, "Then why don’t you marry him?"
"You..." The man’s face turned red from embarra.s.sment. He had not expected Qian Jin to throw out such an answer after his moving speech.
"You..."Caeller took a few short breaths and his grin resurfaced, "It isn’t you who has the final say on this!"
"I have not heard about this." Qian Jin glanced at the line and Caeller quickly took his left foot back which was lifted unconsciously because of his excitement.
"Is that true?" The coward smiled, "Why not ask Julius out and find it out?"
Qian Jin even did not bother to raise his head/ He continued playing with Rojin and said to the outsider. "She has already pa.s.sed on to keep Rollin company." Caeller almost jumped up. He stared at Qian Jin, "What? How could that be possible?" Pointing to Rollin"s coffin, Qian Jin answered, "She is just right in there with her husband!"
The hiding Level 7 Warrior was once again pulled out. He reluctantly walked to the coffin and took a quick look. He once again kowtowed nine times to the coffin. He p.i.s.sed on it in his heart, "F*ck! I have never even kowtowed to my dad as much as I did to this fat dead pig. He is more like my father!"
"She’s dead..." The warrior lowered down his voice at Caeller’s ear, for fear that Qian Jin would hear him. "She is really in the coffin..."
"She’s truly dead?" Caeller’s eyes widened! He murmured as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was questioning Qian Jin, "How did she end up in there? She was alive and well just a few days ago!"
"Yes, the guardian Qian Jin…" Some words of inquiry flowed out of Sabonis’s baritone and magnetic voice. "It sounds like Julius did not die from natural causes. If that is the case, it would violate the law of Zen..."
"She suddenly said her throat was sore, and then she died. "
The audience looked at each other blankly in dismay. Why did the explanation sound a little bit familiar? Oh! Rollin! It was said that Rollin had died from a sudden pain in his heart!
Caeller narrowed his eyes in that infuriating half-grin. It was homicide, but the only witnesses there were Qian Jin and Rosella. With a faithful witness as Rosella, it was impossible to convict the man.
Should they take Rosella back? Caeller looked at Sabonis with his questioning eyes. But at the same time, he found out that the city guardian Fabreidis was also looking at the mayor.
Although there were no other emotions aside from calmness in his eyes, Caeller’s heart was sinking! Usually regarding these situations, the city guardian would not express their views. Therefore, no matter how trivial his action was, he definitely had something to say. If his eyes were asking the same question, it would be fine. However, there was nothing in his eyes, which showed his feelings regarding this issue.
Sabonis sighed inwardly upon receiving the calm eyes of Fabreidis! This guy had been very quiet the past few years, but if anyone thought the man was a harmless chap, he could never be more wrong. He hadn’t expected the city guardian who cared nothing in Oakland to do this.
Sabonis cast an apologetic look towards Caeller. He could do nothing. It would be going against Fabreidis, since this was the first time he had asked for something. Not only could he lose his position, the Cae family might need to pack up and leave the city in the best-case scenario. As for the worst case, they might not even need to pack up; the entire family might just be killed. Taking Rosella back for torture and interrogation would be a daydream. They needed to drop that idea.
Caeller was so disappointed that he sighed and cursed in his heart. He wished for the city guardian to rot in h.e.l.l.
"Humph!" A cold and heavy humph caused a tremble in some of the warriors’ hearts, and the cold breath behind Caeller slowly spread to the surroundings.
Qian Jin lifted his eyelids and found a warrior standing behind. He was tall, and his thick black beard accounted for more than half of his face. Wearing a majestic metal armor, he looked at Fabreidis up and down with his malignant brown pupils. His palm pressed on the sword he carried on his waist, making an awe-inspiring gesture which sent out a feeling of dissatisfaction and defiance.
Caeller patted on the shoulder of the brawny and whispered, "Mr. Glan, please do not worry."
Glan threw out the palm holding the hilt and the sword collided with the armor, uttering a crisp sound! A faint killing intent was revealed as if he were on a battlefield. He secretly made a disdainful look at Fabreidis, "We are both Demon Fighters! I"m not afraid you! Don’t act like that in front of me! I will cut you into pieces if you cross me, and then I will be the city guardian!"
Once again, Caeller turned to Qian Jin and said with a stiff smile, "Julius must have missed Rollin so much that she followed him back to the stars. Fortunately, Mayor Sabonis was there too when she proposed the marriage."
Caeller slightly moved toward to the other side of his body. He stretched out his arm like he was making a proud introduction, "With a prestigious witness like the Mayor, isn’t it trustworthy enough?"
