MTL - Pirate in Naruto World - v3 Chapter 188 : Feel the despair

“We have in the studio Christian Grey, who won his fifth Oscar award yesterday”

“Madam President... that man is not someone we can play with”

“Goddamn it! We're the goddamn mafia, and we still can't attract one man?”

“My children, whoever can marry that man will inherit all my wealth”

“Forbes magazine has proclaimed Christian Grey as the most influential man in the world”

Christian Grey is the most desired man in the world, a man every woman would kill to have his hand with.

One of the world's most successful and perfect man, but is he really as perfect as everyone believes?

Follow the life of Christian Grey, a young man reincarnated in an upside down world where women are the dominant sex.

A world where men are valued for their appearances, pursued and taken advantage of by women.

Scarlett's world collapses when she is drugged and forced to marry an old, filthy-rich widower with five children.

Trying to escape her seemingly inescapable troubles, she accepts an offer of a one-year contract marriage with a mysterious gentleman. He promises this will get her out of her hostile-arranged marriage problems. She took the offer.

If everything goes well, she will be a free and independent woman in one year...

However, many things take an unexpected turn. The contract marriage made Scarlett's life feel like she was riding a rollercoaster. A mix of exhilaration, dreaded inferno, and joyful heaven.

****

Only a crazy person would accept his offer. And right now, she does not fall into that category. Her mind is still sane.

“Please don't get me wrong. I'm just trying to help myself. And at the same time helping you.”

Scarlett was even more confused.

“I know my problem is complicated. But, I think being married to a man I just met, without love, feels weird...” She said.

“This is not a real marriage but a contract marriage that you can set up to your advantage. And also mine.”

Scarlett listened silently; inside, she was shocked and a bit perplexed.

Xander crossed his arms over his chest while looking into Scarlett's eyes. He continued, “As I said before, I will help you, and at the same time, you will help me. I don't need to explain what my problem is. But, I assure you, if you agree to do a contract marriage with me, then your problems will be solved. So what do you think!?”

Scarlett was in no hurry to speak. She slowly raised her head and said, “So I can put any clauses I want in the contract?”

The man nods, saying, “As long as it doesn't hurt me.”

She offered a handshake to Xander, “Okay. You got a deal!”
