Chapter 1326 Lorraine 14
How could Margaret dare to take out the key to the vault? Did she not know what she had done? Lorraine's money had long been spent by her like ants carrying grains of rice.
Now, even if she were asked to take it, she wouldn't be able to produce a single amethyst coin.
The expressions of Margeli's maternal relatives who came to observe the ceremony were quite subtle. In recent years, Margeli had been exceptionally generous to her maternal relatives, sending any good things she had to the Gomez family.
Based on today's accounting, the Gomez tribe understood.
Margery's parents got up to leave. What did that have to do with them? This was a matter between Lorraine and the Dubert family, what did it have to do with the Gomez family?
Just as Margely's father, George Gomez, took a step, a sharp arrow whistled past his cheek, the white feathers at the end of the arrow cutting into his skin. George froze, too afraid to move.
Alina held her bow and arrow, ready to fire: "If you dare to move again, the next arrow will be aimed at your eyes."
Tan You praised, "The Dark Elves are said to be the best archers, and they certainly live up to their reputation."
Alina curled her lips into a smile, thinking that the new lord really knew how to compliment people.
The Gomez tribe immediately screamed in terror, giving Jormungandr a headache. It circled the throne once, then its body suddenly stretched infinitely, and a huge snake head lunged at the Gomez tribe.
The snake's head is flat, its pupils are as thin as needles, and its mouth is wide open, as if it could swallow the sky and the earth.
Several women immediately rolled their eyes and collapsed, while the men, despite their pride, trembled with fear. Without exception, none dared to scream.
They were all as quiet as quails.
Louis, holding Jormungandr's tail, saw how its appearance had intimidated the Gomez family. He couldn't help but pat the snake's tail and exclaimed, "My lord, you are amazing!"
Jormungandr once again perched around the throne, its tail tip giving Louis's hand a meaningful tug. With it on the scene, what could possibly fail?
Tan You didn't go to Marjeli; she went straight to Paget: "I don't care what method you use, if I don't see this many purple gold coins within an hour, I'll send someone to the Land of Exile for every minute that passes."
“Let’s start with the Dubot family. I want to see how many of you are enough to fill the hole in the Land of Exile.”
Paget stopped arguing with Margery about where the money had gone. He glanced at Luther and said, "We've allocated family funds. Over the years, the family has indeed wronged you. To express our apology, the family is offering 150 million amethyst coins."
"We hope that Lord Lorraine will not hold it against us."
Tan You chuckled. Although this Paget Dubot was greedy and shameless, she had to admit that he was really good at changing his tune, making her feel embarrassed to hold on to him too tightly.
"Once the money is in place, everything is negotiable. I only care about money, no matter where it comes from."
Paget gritted her teeth, now filled with resentment towards her eldest son, Williams, for being so useless. If he had married Lorraine sooner, things wouldn't be like this today—losing both her money and her heart.
Less than forty minutes later, the Paget family delivered a spatial ring filled with amethyst coins. Tan You casually tossed it, and the spatial ring landed in front of Chris.
Chris's already large eyes widened even more. It tremblingly extended its dragon claw, the tip hooking at the ring: "For me?"
Tan You scoffed: "Dream on. I've heard that dragons are born misers. From today onwards, you'll be my treasurer, in charge of keeping an eye on my purse strings."
"As for the reward, I'll give you ten million amethyst coins."
Chris was already stunned by the offer of ten million amethyst coins and forgot to ask if it was an annual salary or something else, so he readily agreed. He carefully slipped the spatial ring onto the tip of his paw: "Okay, I'll definitely take good care of it for you."
Tan You raised an eyebrow. "I only have one request: you manage the money for me, but don't let it end up in your hands in the end."
Chris, somewhat embarrassed after Tan You exposed his little scheme, said, "I... I'm very principled, I'm not the kind of person who would embezzle from a dragon!" Alina's lips twitched violently. Letting a dragon manage the money meant there was income but no expenditure. The new lord's decision was rather interesting.
Now that she had the money, Tan You stopped getting involved in Paget's family affairs. She glanced at Williams and said, "You dragged your feet on fulfilling the marriage agreement, making me the laughingstock of the entire capital."
"Now that I have broken off the engagement, let's settle our scores and return the favor."
"From this day forward, the marriage agreement between the Houston family and the Dubote family is null and void. From now on, the marriages of the two families will be separate and unrelated."
"Chris, take the Moonstone, let's go."
Chris roared, and a massive dragon soared into the air. The Bone Throne rose into the air before everyone's eyes and landed steadily on Chris's back.
Louis, clutching Jormungandr's tail, felt a little timid, but he kept his lips tightly pressed together, refusing to show any fear. Carlos and Blue Iris stood to the side and behind the throne, while Alina stood at the bottom of the throne, landing on Chris's back along with the bone throne.
In the end, what remained in the minds of the people of the capital was the enormous figure of the dragon, so large it seemed to blot out the sky. This scene was etched in their memories for a very long time.
As the red dragon disappeared into the distance, the vortex summoned by Tan You also vanished completely, and everyone in the square breathed a sigh of relief.
The archbishop rose unsteadily, looked up at the now empty sky, and muttered, "How enviable. Her age is less than a fraction of mine."
"Having territory, a throne, and a scepter..."
"So enviable!"
"Whose chosen one is so favored by the gods? Who is so uniquely favored by them?"
"The Land of Exile, a place that strikes fear into people's hearts, she goes there to become a lord, who knows what she will encounter."
While some may envy, others may criticize, and what they say is true.
But as soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately retorted: "How much do the gods dote on her? With the gods backing her up, she has also made a contract with a dragon, and now she even has the undead race recognizing her as their master. Even if there is danger, she can overcome it."
"I think the real danger lies with those lawless races in the Exile Lands. Even a tyrannical red dragon would be taken down in a single encounter with her. Who else can stop her?"
"Such a capable woman, if she were my wife, I would listen to her in everything!"
"Now the Dubot family has become the biggest laughing stock."
"Who do you think ended up with all of Lorraine's amethyst coins?"
"It's just these two companies, they can't be outsiders."
"Now the Dubote family has become the biggest spectacle in the capital. Such a powerful chosen one of the gods has flown away right under their noses."
"They brought this upon themselves."
