I just covet their strength

Chapter 128 Don’t touch my mom!

Oris raised his head, and the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of brown boots, followed by a short robe filled with intricate patterns, as if patterns of stars were embroidered on it.

The slightly wide cuffs revealed her white hands, her figure could not be concealed even by the loose robe, and her pretty face which was delicate and cold, as if it was an inorganic being that did not come into contact with the world.

"Lililiana? What is this? This has to be a joke, right?!"

Oris called out his fiancée's name, but she just shook her ponytail and casually glanced at her fiancée and the investigation report in his hand.

She raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly and said indifferently:
"You peeked, forget it. I don't need it anyway. This is indeed a report I wrote after serious practice. It's not a joke."

The fiancée's words were undoubtedly a heavy blow, completely shattering Oris's last bit of luck.

The young lord's eyes were red, he clenched his fists, and let out a hoarse growl from his throat:
"Why. Why is this happening?! You're my fiancée!"

"I have clearly written the reason in the report. The original document contains detailed records of every experiment. You can take it back and read it slowly. I won't explain it in detail."

There was no trace of Oris in Liliana's beautiful eyes. She entered the room, sorted out the equipment by herself, and said:

"Also, our engagement is cancelled."

"what?"

"We originally got married for pure profit, but now I think you can no longer provide enough help to the Sunny Ring, so I decided to cancel the engagement."

"Yes, Lord Qinghui, it's because of him, right?!"

Oris has learned to answer quickly.

After organizing all the important information into her small bag, Liliana turned around and said calmly:
"That's right. Lord Qinghui is more positive and sincere about the Ring of Sunshine. He has made an offer that I cannot refuse, so you are no longer useful. This is not an emotional perception, but an answer I came to after rational thinking."

"So, goodbye, these things are at your disposal."

After saying this, Liliana walked away without looking back.

Without hesitation, without even a word.

Even though Liliana had always been so cold, and perhaps she really had no feelings for him, Oris still felt a heart-wrenching pain, causing his eyes to turn red and he pounded the ground and roared:

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The mournful roar continued for a long time before it calmed down.

But after venting, he still had to face reality. After a moment of silence, Oris picked up the thick investigation report and returned to the mansion.

He blocked everyone and locked himself in the room.

Even if he was slow-witted, Oris knew that his relatives and friends were all bewitched by Prince Qinghui. They were all untrustworthy. Just seeing it made Oris feel like his heart was being cut by a knife.

He already understood Lord Qinghui's intention, which was to provoke him.

As long as he was the first to violate the rules, Baiyan City would become the party in the wrong and be arbitrated by the Empire. Westhead would be able to get his subjects back as he wished, and maybe even get a large amount of compensation from Baiyan City.

"Hold on, you must hold on, you must not let him do what he wants, otherwise all your sacrifices will be in vain!"

The young lord hypnotized himself in this way, and with the attitude of knowing both ourselves and the enemy, we can fight a hundred battles without defeat, he spent a whole night reading through the investigation report.

Oris read over and over every word written by his beloved fiancée, but he could no longer feel sadness or anger.

But it was a deep fear and powerlessness. Is Lord Qinghui really such a terrible man?

Lost, completely lost, and have no desire to compete with them.

The next morning, Oris wandered around the mansion in a state of dismay, but his wish to clear his mind and take a rest was still unfulfilled. The news from the servant cheered him up:
"Sir, the lady wants you to come over. She said she has something very important to tell you."

"Mother is looking for me?"

Oris was stunned, but then he thought of a possibility that made his spine shudder.

No, no, no. No way. It shouldn’t be like that. It definitely can’t be that fast!
But. But damn, is there anything that beast can't do? !
Oris didn't dare to hesitate and hurried to his mother's residence.

Since his father passed away, Oris's mother moved to a manor on the outskirts of the city and was in charge of the expansion of Baiyan City. Oris hadn't visited his mother for some time.

When Oris rushed to the manor as fast as he could, he heard his mother chatting with a man in the courtyard. That magnetic voice had become his nightmare and he could not forget it at all:

".I think the lady still has her charm. When I first saw her, I thought she was an 18-year-old girl."

"Haha, Lord Qinghui, you are joking. I am already a mother of several children. I no longer have the beauty I had when I was young."

"That's not true. Your age is the most attractive. To be honest, we are all experienced people. How can a young girl compare to a beauty like you who has real feminine charm?"

"Lord Qinghui, you really are..."

Listening to the two people's almost sweet flirting, Oris was extremely anxious. When he saw Qinghui holding his mother's hands, he couldn't help but roar and rushed towards Westhead:

"Don't touch my mom!!"

Seeing the angry handsome boy, Westhead calmly let go and said:

"Ma'am, that's a pity. Looks like we have to get down to business."

"Oris?! You came so quickly?"

The young lord saw a moment of astonishment on his mother's face, followed by regret and loss. It seemed that she had never expected Oris to arrive so soon.

No, why should I feel regret?! If I don't hurry here, something unspeakable will happen?!

Oris suppressed his anger and said, "Yes, because you said it was something extremely important, so I dared not neglect it for a moment and rushed over immediately."

"Oh, really? Thank you for your hard work."

Mrs. Golden Iris nodded awkwardly and used her slender hands to brush away the golden hair that was stuck to her cheeks.

Westhead's praise for the widow of the Golden Iris family's side branch was not entirely polite.

Thanks to the maintenance effect of the extraordinary magic potion, her beautiful and charming face shows no signs of aging at all, and her skin is as delicate and flawless as a baby's.

But she has all kinds of charm, nobility, elegance and composure that a young girl never has.

Whether it is the whiteness of the skin, or its firmness and charm, it is enough to make young girls pale in comparison.

But her figure is extremely plump, just like the ripe fruits in autumn, with a heavy and thick texture, which is an absolutely flattering feeling that only mature women have.

Especially the curves brought out by the plain white dress that wraps her body tightly are almost the same as Rozana's.

Westhead's evaluation is very straightforward, that is, he is very tough and hates the balls.

Oh, don't bear with it, it's okay.

After taking a few seconds to regain her elegant and graceful demeanor, Madam Golden Iris got straight to the point:

"It is like this, Oris, hand over the position of city lord to Lord Qinghui."
