Chapter 611
Scarcity made things valuable–the same applied to humans!
The Lowe family had not returned to their hometown for many years. Today,
news spread that they were back, so more people came to visit and
exchange New Year’s greetings. Although some rural people were
materialistic, the simplicity of their lives was far more abundant than in
bustling cities.
Frederick also came to Emmanuel’s house. Since he would face endless
discussions about why he had not gotten married if he stayed at his own
home, why not come here and listen to others discussing why someone else
had not gotten married? He also realized he overestimated the power of his
PowerPoint presentation. Regardless of how often he answered, people
would continue asking as long as he remained unmarried.
“Why haven’t you gotten married?” That was a question Emmanuel had been
asked many times today, even though Alessandra had spread the word that
her son was married.
It was almost as if he should make a public declaration! However, it
remained a lie since nobody had seen his wife.
“Manny, just admit that you’re not married!” Shane was sticking by
Emmanuel’s side today. After all, they had not seen each other for so many
years, and if they did not interact more today, who knew when they would
have the chance to meet again?
He believed if Emmanuel could not find a wife, he would not have the face to
return. However, he still believed that Emmanuel and Frederick were lying
together to deceive him. Frederick originally mentioned that Emmanuel
married an ugly wife; even if it were an average–looking wife, he would have
tried to believe it. However, Frederick insisted on saying that Emmanuel’s wife
was stunningly beautiful and incredibly wealthy. How could Shane convince
himself to buy such an outrageous lie?
“I am indeed married.” Emmanuel persisted, not tired of repeating himself.
“Then, where is your wife?” someone else questioned.
He could not answer because he had no idea where Mackenzie was right
now! The situation was getting out of hand. Many villagers sighed as they
had a favorable impression of Emmanuel’s grandfather and father. They
were loyal, upright, and devoted to their country, so how did Emmanuel, in
turn, become so untrustworthy?
Meanwhile, at the entrance of Hero’s Village, a black Mercedes Benz cleared
the way and stopped in an open space. Following behind was a red Bentley,
which also came to a stop. Immediately after, another Mercedes Benz
arrived. Then came the fourth and fifth cars, both Mercedes Benzes as well.
A convoy of five luxury cars seemed out of place in the ancient village, like a
two–dimensional Transformer suddenly intruding into the world of heroes.
However, as it turned out, this was a perfectly reasonable occurrence!
In the next moment, almost simultaneously, the doors of all the Mercedes
Benz cars opened, except for the Bentley. Tall and imposing bodyguards in
black suits scattered around, ensuring every detail of the site and eliminating
any potential danger.
In addition, a gray–robed old man slowly approached the Bentley and
respectfully opened the door. “Haha. Hero’s Village truly lives up to its
reputation!” Terence leaned on his cane and stepped out, taking in the fresh
air. Having lived in the city for too long, he almost greedily savored this type
of air. He opened his mouth and took several deep breaths while closing his
eyes.
Alfred had also heard about the renowned heroes and great generals who
once appeared in Hero’s Village. He had long wanted to pay a visit. However,
who knew the daughter of the Quillen family would be married into this
place? That could be considered fate.
In the next moment, Mackenzie also got out of the Bentley. She wore black
tights that accentuated her slender and elongated legs, appearing even
taller and creating a visual effect of being five–foot–eleven! She also wore d
tight–fitting white thermal shirt with pearl patterns as a top with a white
down jacket.
