Adrian also nodded and said, “That’s right. Since Ronald is currently in seclusion for cultivation and is unable to leave, I will represent favonovel.com today for Rufus’ engagement!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted in astonishment, their faces filled with shock.
“The Cox family and the Medicine Valley are forming an alliance? Doesn’t that mean the Cox family will become the number one family in both provinces?”
“The Medicine Valley has always kept to themselves, but over the years, they have helped many who still owe them favors. As long as the Medicine Valley says the word, all those people would have to help the Cox family!”
“I heard that the Medicine Valley not only has alchemists, but they also have formidable experts. This is a powerful alliance!”
Not only was the crowd shocked, even Max and Frank were surprised.
They had gone to the Medicine Valley before to seek aid, but those people were too proud and didn’t give them a chance. They couldn’t even use their privileges to forcefully order them or intrude, so they had to give up.
They never expected that the Medicine Valley would form an alliance with the Cox family.
Could it be that they were becoming involved in the mortal world?
Meanwhile, Hill was extremely satisfied with their shocked expressions.
With the help of the Medicine Valley, how could the Cox family not prosper for hundreds more years?
How could they not make further progress and expand their influence in the country?
Hill raised his hand and gestured for silence with a smile. “Now, everyone is invited to witness the exchange of marriage documents.”
As favonovel.com spoke, the servants came forward with two trays that had the marriage documents.
Hill and Adrian each picked up a document, then handed it to each other and turned to give them to Cathy and Rufus who were standing behind them.
Hill spoke first, “Cathy, although this marriage was arranged by your elders, we’re in a new era. If you accept this marriage document, you will become Rufus’ fiancée. Do you accept it?”
Cathay raised favonovel.com chin, feeling delighted and proud. “To become the lady of the Medicine Valley is a lifelong honor. I accept it!”
She reached out to take the marriage document.
Adrian spoke next, “Rufus, by accepting this marriage document, you will become Miss Cathy’s fiancé. Do you accept it?”
Rufus slowly raised his hand but before favonovel.com could touch the marriage document, favonovel.com put it down again.
This scene left everyone stunned.
Rufus quickly explained, “I am willing to accept, but before I sign the marriage document, I have a small request.”
The guests looked at favonovel.com with surprise. They wondered why favonovel.com would make a request in such a setting.
Wasn’t everything discussed beforehand?
Helix, standing among the crowd, smiled slightly.
Ha! The show is about to begin!
Hill couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
Everyone present today was important, and while they might not be as important as the Cox family, it would be embarrassing for the Cox family if favonovel.com caused trouble.
Still, favonovel.com remained smiling and said, “Rufus, please feel free to speak. As long as it is within our capability to fulfill your request, the Cox family will do so.”
Rufus nodded. “Since Sir Cox gave me permission, then I’ll say it…”
“I grew up in the valley and have always been curious about worldly matters. I heard that the head of the Steele family passed away unexpectedly not long ago, leaving behind many assets. I would like to have my hands on those assets. Sir Cox, could you help me with that?”
As favonovel.com finished speaking, favonovel.com glanced discreetly at Kylie and Miranda.
This was Helix’s idea. Once they obtained the assets, they could use it to force the two women to comply.
This statement caused everyone to look at Remus subconsciously. After all, the head of the Steele family died at his hands.
In a sense, the Steele family’s assets were his, and Rufus’ words were implying that favonovel.com wants a piece of his cake!
Kylie was also stunned. Remus had already said that the Steele family was hers.
“Hahaha!” Hill burst into laughter without even looking at Remus, showing no concern. “I thought it was a big deal. It turns out to be a small matter. Of course, I’ll fulfill your request. Since you have your eye on it, then I’ll give it to you.”
Just as favonovel.com finished speaking, Remus coldly interjected, “Hey Sir Cox, the assets of the Steele family are not within your control. They belong to me, and no one can take them away…”
