Chapter 377: Meet Aldric again
Corey felt like he had grown old and could no longer keep up with his granddaughter’s train of thought.
Just a minute ago, she had been desperate, miserable, unwilling to meet that person. Now she looked like a different person, eager to meet that young man as soon as possible.
Was he getting old, or was this era developing too quickly?
Lylia also knew she was a little out of control emotionally and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, anyway, that person has a Rank SS Hero. His future achievements definitely won’t be inferior to our Empress, so following him is actually not bad."
Corey nodded, calming down, and said, "You’re right. Following him is indeed not bad. It’s just... you and he..."
Corey sighed, not knowing how to persuade Lylia. He looked at her for a while, then said bluntly, "In reality, our family isn’t that big. That person will definitely catch the Royal Family’s attention, and might even be granted an engagement with members of the Royal Family, so..."
Lylia nodded lightly. "Grandpa, don’t worry. I understand. As long as I can escape the engagement with Jankos’s family, I can accept being a concubine or his secret lover."
In truth, Lylia already knew that person was Noan, and of course, she also knew there were many women around him who were far superior to her.
Without searching much, Yuna alone was enough to make Lylia feel she was truly insignificant. If Lylia was a beautiful flower, then Yuna was the moon high above, not only beautiful and gentle, but also radiating a light that made countless people stop and admire.
Therefore, deep down, Lylia already had the thought that becoming Noan’s concubine, or even just his lover, would be enough.
Hearing that, Corey sighed and said, "I’m glad you can think like that. It’s just... if you don’t want to, then..."
"It’s fine!" Lylia said with a smile. "Let’s meet him first. As for everything else, we can talk about it later."
At this moment, Junas spoke up. "He’s here!"
Corey, Lylia, and Junas all focused on two figures walking out from the Hero summoning area.
Not only them, but everyone present also looked over.
"Wow! That is..."
"So beautiful... so beautiful! It’s my first time seeing a woman this beautiful."
"Damn it! ’Too beautiful’ isn’t even enough to describe that woman’s beauty."
"Who is she? A new lord? Why have I never seen her before?"
"Are you stupid? Didn’t you see her and that man come out of the Hero summoning area? She’s probably that man’s Hero."
"What?! Could it be..."
"Ai! Such a beautiful flower being eaten by an ugly pig, what a pity."
"Damn it! Bastard! Why? Why can’t I summon such a beautiful Hero?"
Everyone knew that summoned Heroes were unconditionally loyal to their lords. And the lord of that beautiful girl was a man, so everyone knew what would happen.
Junas was also stunned by Yuna’s appearance. Although he had seen the System notification saying that the Hero Noan summoned truly was a Rank SS Hero, he did not know what that Hero looked like.
At first, he even thought it might be a strange creature, or a mythical being like a Dragon or a Phoenix, but in the end... it turned out to be a woman so beautiful that it made others feel inferior.
Yes, inferior, not jealous.
If the gap wasn’t too big, those women could still feel jealousy. But when the difference was too vast, like a mud puddle compared to a diamond, it could only make them feel inferior.
Although Corey was old, when he saw that woman, he could not help but look a bit longer. But he truly did not dare to offend her.
That beauty was truly holy and pure, like moonlight in the night sky. Besides, she was likely the Rank SS Hero Junas had mentioned. Therefore, he could not be rude to her either.
Noan walked over to Junas and said with a smile, "This is my Hero, Yuna, the Moon Goddess, Rank SS."
Junas lowered his head and respectfully greeted her. Yuna only smiled lightly and did not speak. Of course, Junas was not angry. Even if Yuna cursed him, he would not be angry.
After all, Yuna was a Rank SS Hero. She had the right to look down on everything. But judging from her expression, she seemed very gentle and quite approachable.
Junas smiled and said, "Lord Noan, Miss Yuna, this is Corey and Lylia. These two are from a great family and want to get acquainted with you."
Noan glanced at Lylia. Although he did not know why Lylia had brought her grandfather to find him, he still pretended not to know her, avoiding unnecessary trouble.
At this moment, Corey stepped in front of Noan, took a small box from his pocket, and said respectfully, "Hahaha... Lord Noan, I am the head of the Bradley family. This is a small gift. I hope you can accept it."
Noan took the box and opened it. Inside were two Rank S Energy Crystals, emitting a somewhat dazzling light.
He closed the box, tossed it into his ’storage space’, then smiled and asked, "Thank you, Mr. Corey. What do you want to see me for?"
Corey let out a sigh, then began a deeply moving speech, saying that his granddaughter, Lylia, was being forced to marry a man she did not like.
If Noan did not know Lylia, he might have found Corey’s speech truly touching. But he and Lylia had already known each other before, and had even almost reached the final step, so he could only force a smile.
Lylia stood behind, so embarrassed she wanted to crawl into a hole. Yuna stood to the side, covering her mouth as she smiled, but not daring to laugh.
After Corey finished speaking, he felt his mouth was a little dry. After all, he only had this one chance.
If he could tie Lylia tightly to Noan, that would mean bringing the entire family to a brand new level.
Even if they could not grow too powerful, being able to continue surviving peacefully without being threatened by the Frankyro family was already wonderful.
Noan glanced at Lylia. She was embarrassed and signaled him with her eyes, ’Whatever you decide is fine.’
He nodded and said, "Your granddaughter is also very cute..."
Hearing that, Corey said joyfully, "Lord Noan, you..."
At this moment, several black cars quickly stopped in front of the center. A group of people dressed in black walked in. Leading them was a young man Noan was very familiar with, Aldric.
Beside him was a woman around twenty-five, blonde hair, a high nose, fair skin, a sexy figure, yet possessing a powerful aura, as if anyone who dared go up to talk to her would be beaten to death.
Noan knew they came for him, so he said to Corey, "When I have time, I’ll visit your home. After all, Lylia and I are old friends."
As he spoke, he winked at Lylia. She was embarrassed and lowered her head slightly, but her face still bloomed with a delighted smile.
She had thought Noan would use this opportunity to throw her away. After all, their statuses had reversed now.
Noan’s status could now be said to be incredibly noble, to the point that even Lylia’s family would have to bow their heads before him.
While she was just a small young person in this family, without even the freedom to choose. How could she have the qualifications to stand by Noan’s side?
Besides, there were countless beauties around Noan, and with his current status, any beauty he wanted would be within reach.
But Noan used his actions to prove that no matter what their statuses were, he still left an empty place in his heart for her.
Corey was stunned. His eyes widened, full of disbelief as he looked at Noan, then looked at Lylia. His mouth hung open, not knowing what to say.
Noan waved his hand, then walked toward Aldric.
Seeing her grandfather’s expression, Lylia giggled. "Grandpa, why are you so surprised?"
"How can I not be surprised?" Corey said hurriedly. "You and him... you knew each other before?"
Lylia pressed her lips together, then nodded.
"You..." Corey wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed and said, "Why didn’t you say so earlier? You made me stand there talking for ages, and in the end..."
"Grandpa, even though I knew him before, back then he was still just an ordinary Lord." Lylia said. "Besides, at that time... the whole family wanted to marry me off to that bastard Jankos and looked down on him. Now that we’ve met again, I was afraid his status had become noble and he’d take revenge on me."
"Luckily, he still likes me. Otherwise..."
Hearing that, Corey wiped his sweat, feeling a chill down his spine. He felt that letting the family be managed by those brats, especially Simon, was truly the biggest mistake of his life.
Fortunately, Noan did not seem to care about the past. Or more precisely, because he liked Lylia, he spared his Bradley family. Otherwise, with just a word from him, those families wanting to get closer to him would definitely wipe out the Bradley family overnight.
Corey sighed softly and said, "I’m sorry, Lylia. I didn’t manage the family well. Don’t worry. From now on, this kind of thing will never happen again."
Lylia nodded lightly. She said, "Grandpa, but... I don’t want to go back to the family. I want to live with my mother."
Hearing that, Corey understood why Lylia made that decision. He did not argue or get angry. He only sighed and said, "I’m sorry. I’ll do my best to make it up to you and your mother."
Of course, Noan did not know the conversation between Corey and Lylia. At this moment, he walked up to Aldric’s group together with Junas.
When Aldric saw him, although he was prepared, he was still surprised by the woman beside him.
Noan smiled and said, "Long time no see."
Aldric let out a sigh. "Not that long. It’s just... I didn’t think you could grow to this extent."
