Chapter 341
Fionna looked at Annie angrily and said, “What do you know? That Mr. Lockwood is extraordinarily handsome. How is he not worthy of you? So what if he has a wife and a son? As long as you can make him like you and treat you well, it’s fine.”
When Fionna said this, the people from the main branch had a matter-of-fact expression on their faces. However, among the people from the second branch, there were some who revealed mocking expressions.
Back then, Fionna was a mistress. Not only did she ***Andy’s wife, but she also forced Andy’s wife’s child, James, to leave his hometown for more than 10 years. Now, he was even less valued by the family. However, Fionna was Old Madam Beck’s niece. Although they were distant, she was still a relative of Old Madam Beck. Old Madam Beck was extremely supportive of Fionna’s ascension. In the end, Fionna worked hard and coaxed Andy into falling head over heels for her.
Annie felt extremely wronged. She had always thought that she was the most beloved little princess of her family, but she had never thought that she would be reduced to the point of being used for a marriage alliance for her family.
How sad.
Annie’s eyes were completely red. She pursed her lips and stubbornly remained silent.
Old Mr. Beck and Old Madam Beck still doted on Annie. Seeing that she was unwilling, they were not angry. They could not change Annie’s fate of being used for a marriage alliance. However, Mr. Lockwood was indeed extraordinarily handsome. They believed that as long as Annie saw him, she would definitely not reject him.
Being able to rope in the Lockwood family naturally had endless benefits. Over the years, although their influence on the Mystical Island was huge, the Mystical Island was too isolated and independent. It was not a good thing for long-term development.
This was because the development of the Mystical Island to this point was already the limit. If they wanted to improve further, they would have to expand the forces on the outside world.
Human greed was always endless.
“Annie, don’t be unhappy yet. Wait until you see him.”
At the same time, there were others discussing how to acquire Draxton.
For District 9, roping in Draxton was their first choice.
The main forces of District 9 were the Arcana Group, the Mercenary Association, the Assassin Organizations, and the Grey and Beck families.
The Arcana Group was a rather complicated organization because it was not only an independent organization, but a mixed organization.
This was because many of the members of the Arcana Group came from other families and forces. They had supernatural abilities and joined Arcana Group, but they were still loyal to their families and forces. Therefore, Arcana Group were more complicated.
The Mercenary Association was relatively simple. It was simple, but it was also united. No matter if the members were the local people on the Mystical Island or from the outside world, they all had supreme reverence and yearning for the Mercenary Association on the Mystical Island.
Because they were too strong.
It was said that in all the histories, they had made unparalleled contributions.
Without them, history would be a different story.
They were heroes and were the existence that all the mercenaries yearned for.

The Mercenary Association was also the only force on the Mystical Island that had infiltrated the outside.
world.
This was because their network was connected to the outside world, and there had been people who had paid to hire them.
Then there were the Assassin Organizations.
Assassins and mercenaries were fundamentally different. Mercenaries would occasionally take on the job.
of assassins.
However, compared to the Mercenary Association, District 9’s Assassin Organizations were not as popular. One of the most famous Assassin Organizations was called The Spider.
The Spider also accepted businesses from the outside world.
The people from these forces were all discussing the possibility of joining forces with Draxton.
In a villa, president lan Sullivan of the Mercenary Association was discussing this matter with his daughter, Kimberley Sullivan.
Kimberley was different from Annie. Although Kimberley was the daughter of the Mercenary Association’s president, she was also a mercenary herself. Moreover, Kimberley’s style was rather unrestrained. It was unknown how many male companions she had outside.
Therefore, she was the one who suggested that she marry Draxton instead of Isabella.
“Let’s do that, Kimberley. With your ability, won’t it be easy for her to take down Draxton? Although Isabella is Miraculous Doctor, I believe that she’s definitely not your match when it comes to dealing with men.” Kimberley cocked her brows confidently. The father and daughter looked at each other, their eyes flashing with determination.
More than a thousand Red Crystal members arrived on the third day after Draxton and Isabella entered district master’s manor.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Draxton and Isabella were outsiders. Although they had been approved by the tribunal committee to become District 9’s new district master, but there were only two of them when they arrived. There was no one close to them.
Therefore, the arrival of the Red Crystal members was also within
surprised.
Veryone’s expectations. They were not
After the arrival of the Red Crystal members, Red Crystal members were everywhere in the district master’s manor. In an instant, the entire district master’s manor was under the control of Draxton. Even the private army of district master’s manor had been inserted with Red Crystal members.
As for the original servants and guards of district master’s manor, they looked a little awkward.
However, the private army.was much harder to deal with.
But that was what the Red Crystal members had to do..
Isabella and Draxton did not immediately take down district master’s manor’s private army, because these private armies were the official forces of District 9. It was not easy to take them down overnight.
Their attention was focused on something else.
They planned to hold a banquet to invite the various factions of District 9 to come so that they could get to know the people in power.
Although James and Theo had already given their information to Draxton and Isabella, this banquet had to be held no matter what.
