Chapter 1388 Blood Moon (Twenty-Seven)
On the afternoon of the second day after Ronan returned to the Raymond family, a grand engagement ceremony was held in the manor.
The person getting engaged is Ronan's sister, Jenny Raymond. The direct daughter of the Raymond family is three years older than him and is already 22 years old this year.
According to the standards of this world, Miss Jenny is an older unmarried woman.
The man she was engaged to was a direct descendant of the Grantham family, named Herman Grantham.
Grantham is also a local baronial family. Its manor is less than ten kilometers away from the Raymond family's property. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are neighbors.
Jenny Raymond and Herman Grantham were of similar age and status, and were a perfect match.
According to the custom of the Kingdom of Invia, the engagement ceremony is held at the woman's home.
Marriage is on the man's side.
On the day of the engagement, almost all members of Raymond's family came, including those who were already married and separated, as well as some close relatives.
In addition, many local nobles around Fly Town also sent people to watch the ceremony.
The entire manor was decorated with a new look, a long cold table was set up, and a band from the city was invited to perform, creating a very lively atmosphere.
The children in the family were very happy and ran around on the lawn.
It’s just that people’s joys and sorrows are not something they can relate to, and as a bystander, Ronan only thought they were noisy.
He watched the entire engagement ceremony.
But I didn't socialize with anyone.
It was not until the evening ceremony ended and all the guests said goodbye and left that Ronan was invited to the study by the butler.
This time, he met his cheap dad Malcolm.
And a burly middle-aged man.
This person is the captain of the guard of Raymond Manor, his name is Abel.
When Ronan looked at the other person, the tough guy showed his white teeth at him.
The butler closed the door and left. Mr. Baron, who was sitting behind the desk, said expressionlessly, "Sit down. I have something to discuss with you."
Is this the final revelation?
Ronan calmly sat down opposite him: "Father, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Baron Malcolm stared at Ronan for a full half minute, then said, "It's a good thing."
What good thing?
It turned out that the Baroness knew a wealthy widow who was interested in marrying a man. She hoped to find a young man who was around 20 years old, with a handsome appearance and a young temperament, and came from an aristocratic family.
The widow owned properties and stores in both Flytown and Land City, and also ran a profitable estate.
Although she is not aristocrat, she is a wealthy person!
The Baroness felt that Luo Nanfang's conditions in all aspects met the other party's requirements very well, so she planned to make some connections for him.
"I know I treated you badly in the past."
Baron Malcolm's voice softened. "Although Madam Melissa is a little older, she is still fertile and has many connections in Rand City. She can help you get promoted."
"It's okay even if you don't want to be a police officer anymore. Her family has a lot of assets. Any one of them would be enough for you to live a worry-free life."
"I think this is a great opportunity, don't you?"
Although the tone was negotiating, the baron's eyes told Ronan that this matter was not negotiable!
Ronan smiled: "If it's so good, why don't you marry into the family, father?"
"you!"
Baron Malcolm was furious, his face turned red in an instant, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
He held back but didn't explode: "You mean you don't want to?"
Ronan nodded: "Yes, there is no way I can agree to that."
"That's fine."
Baron Malcolm said with a sullen face: "The Raymond family has raised you for nineteen years. If you are unwilling to contribute to the family, then return the money and I will give you complete freedom!"
"I thought it was over three years ago."
Ronan smiled and said, "Then Mr. Baron, please tell me a number."
The opponent's method of coercion cannot be said to be stupid. If it were my original self, I probably wouldn't be able to withstand such pressure.
Unfortunately, the original body has already died!
Ronan came back this time just to settle the cause and effect.
Baron Malcolm thought he was exerting pressure, but it turned out to be exactly what he wanted!
When Malcolm heard Ronan's answer, he was stunned and his eyes flickered.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Two hundred pounds, and we'll break up!"
Baron Malcolm knew very well that a young man like Ronan, who had just graduated from school and was working and had no background, could only earn a dozen or twenty pounds a year in Rand City.
After deducting the expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation, it would be considered good if you could save two gold pounds a year.
Two hundred gold pounds, that's Ronan's savings for a hundred years!
He was sure that the other party couldn't produce it at all.
"very good…"
However, the Baron never expected that Ronan would take out two checks from his pocket and place them in front of him.
"We're settled."
Sir Malcolm could hardly believe his eyes.
Because what Ronan took out were cash checks issued by the Royal Bank, both of which were for one hundred gold pounds.
He picked it up in disbelief and examined it again and again to make sure it was genuine and not a fake.
The Royal Bank is the largest and most powerful bank in the Kingdom of Invia, and it also has the sole right to mint coins, which is equivalent to a national bank, so its credibility is naturally the best.
These two checks can be used as cash.
The question is, where did Ronan get so much money?
How much is his monthly salary?
The Baron was so shocked that he was completely speechless.
But Ronan had something to say. He pulled a piece of letter paper next to him and said calmly, "Now that the money has been paid, please write a deed."
In fact, this time when Ronan came back, he brought a total of five gold pound checks in denominations of 100 pounds.
It is to buy out the original body’s bloodline!
In the end, only two were used.
Baron Malcolm came back to his senses and looked extremely ugly.
Veins bulged on his forehead, and he held the check in his hand and growled, "Ronan, I am your father!"
The Baron felt deeply insulted.
"Kid, watch your attitude!"
Captain Abel, who was standing by, raised his hand in displeasure and slapped Ronan on the back of the head.
As a result, before his hand touched Ronan's head, Ronan grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard.
"what!"
A shrill scream suddenly sounded.
The sturdy captain of the guard team had his right arm twisted and he fell to his knees involuntarily, fainting from the pain.
Ronan let go and let Abel collapse to the floor.
He said to the dumbfounded Baron Malcolm: "I forgot to tell you that I am no longer an ordinary police officer, but a detective from the Third Police Station in Rand City!"
As he spoke, Ronan pulled out the revolver from his waist, pressed the barrel of the gun against the letter paper on the table, and pushed it towards the other party.
"Mr. Baron, you won't go back on your word, will you?"
"No way?"
-
The second update is sent.
