Abyssal Chronicles-Chapter 1097: Strange Request

Upon seeing that face, which bore a 70% resemblance to Guiding Saint, everyone quickly realized her identity—she was the Guiding Saint’s daughter. Beside her was the deputy commander of the Saint’s direct unit ’Truth’, Seiyad-Hamley.

A famous Level 9 early-stage powerhouse.

Just standing behind Mengxi, he gave everyone an indescribable sense of pressure.

Everyone was clearly unprepared for Mengxi’s visit, with traces of uncertainty flashing in their eyes.

Not only the servants but even Taro, as the family head, showed a shocked expression.

"Miss Mengxi, why... why have you come?"

However, before Taro could finish speaking, Seiyad coldly interrupted:

"For the young miss to visit your place is your honor. How dare you show such resistant emotions?"

As he spoke, the grim-faced Seiyad gripped the sword at his waist.

It seemed he might draw his sword and strike Taro at any moment.

Instantly, a powerful pressure suddenly assaulted Taro’s body. His body trembled slightly as he hurriedly waved his hands.

"No, no, no, no! You misunderstand! That’s not what I meant! I was just surprised that Miss Mengxi would suddenly come over, absolutely no resistance intended!"

"Hmph, nonsense!"

With a cold snort, Seiyad suddenly released his spiritual power.

The terrifying aura immediately cracked the surrounding walls, and countless Felder Family attendants directly fainted from the impact.

Fortunately, just as Seiyad was about to draw his sword, Mengxi raised her hand in time, stopping this deputy commander who had spoiled her since childhood.

"Alright Seiyad, calm down. Mr. Taro was just too shocked, he couldn’t possibly resist us. Isn’t that right, Family Head?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely no resistance!"

Taro nodded repeatedly.

"See, Seiyad? So, calm down."

"I apologize, Young Miss. I lost my composure."

After bowing respectfully, Seiyad withdrew his spiritual power and killing intent, once again standing obediently behind Mengxi.

As Seiyad restrained his power, the terrible pressure in the hall suddenly dissipated.

"I’m sorry, Family Head, my knight was a bit discourteous."

Mengxi smiled gently, her tone full of apology.

"It’s nothing, it’s all because my words were a bit ambiguous..."

After a few false chuckles and several deep breaths, Taro turned his questioning gaze toward the elegant silver-haired woman before him.

"But, may I ask why you’ve come to this humble place?"

As he spoke, a hint of solemnity flashed in Taro’s eyes.

This woman, could she be here about Mina? Is she demanding that we hand over that girl? ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Although he didn’t know when Mina had become acquainted with this young lady, if the Saint’s child really wanted to interfere and obstruct them, it would cause them considerable trouble, even though Yaohuaba had prepared sufficient justification for them.

Thinking of this, Taro felt uneasy.

The plan had progressed this far, and he didn’t want it to be ruined!

If this woman insisted on this, then perhaps we would have to...

Just then, Mengxi answered Taro’s question,

"The reason I’m here is mainly for Mina~"

"..."

Sure enough, it was about that girl.

Realizing this, Taro took a deep breath and looked up, meeting Mengxi’s gaze with a serious expression.

However, before Taro could deliver his prepared words, Mengxi’s response caused him to show an unexpected expression.

"That girl is actually a good friend I met on Blue Star~ When a friend is getting engaged, of course I have to come and offer my blessings~"

"H...HEH?!"

Hearing this, Taro blinked in bewilderment. Faced with Mengxi’s unexpected response, Taro blinked in confusion.

Shock and joy intertwined, briefly causing his brain to freeze.

"You... you mean you’ve come to congratulate the engagement? Not to..."

"Of course I’ve come to offer my congratulations~"

Mengxi raised her hands to her cheeks, innocently meeting Taro’s gaze:

"I only came here to ask one thing of Family Head ~"

"W-What is it?"

"It’s to make this engagement party as grand as possible~ I don’t want my friend’s engagement party to be too modest~"

...

"For the sake of my GOOD friend, I hope this engagement banquet can be lively and festive~"

"And it needs to be grand enough! Let all the major powers in the Source Star know about this event!"

"Oh ho, if you don’t have enough distinguished guests, I can help a little bit~ If you invite them in my name, they’ll probably come, hehe~"

"Good luck to you, Head of the Felder Family~"

...

While recalling Mengxi’s previous words and standing by the window watching the silver-haired girl and her knight walking through the garden in the distance, Taro still felt somewhat dazed as he patted his chest.

Just...

Is this really how it’s going to be?

Even now, he could hardly believe that Mengxi would simply offer her blessing instead of demanding the return of her friend.

However, thinking about it carefully, Taro felt this outcome was actually reasonable.

That’s right. Their Felder family was one of the five top powers in the Sky Nation, while Mina was just an ordinary girl from Blue Star. Even if Mengxi had a good relationship with that girl, she wouldn’t seriously confront the Felder family over such an insignificant young girl.

After all, they had only known each other for a few days, right?

As for Kenzou’s death... Miss Mengxi didn’t have evidence proving they were responsible, did she?

Heh, I had been worrying unnecessarily before.

Thinking this way, Taro couldn’t help but breathe a long sigh of relief. After relaxing a bit, a surge of excitement rushed to Taro’s heart, causing this family head’s eyebrows to rise with joy.

Hehe, if Miss Mengxi had sent her blessings?

Then this engagement banquet would certainly become even more magnificent! Using Miss Mengxi’s name, or even the Holy Maiden’s authority, we can probably invite those powerful figures who had previously declined our invitations!

With so many important personages visiting the Felder family’s territory, our family’s reputation would surely rise rapidly!

Not just our reputation.

If we had the opportunity to establish good relationships with those bigwigs, perhaps it wasn’t impossible for our family to expand beyond the Sky Nation and become a first-class power on Source Star?!

Thinking of this, Taro’s vanity began to rapidly swell, with excitement wildly coursing through his eyes.
