"Mr. Rookie, I didn't expect you to be so prepared for this. But I hope you can take out some decent engagement presents. You will make a fool of yourself if you don't!" Alexander ridiculed. At that moment, he wanted Rocky to take the hint that if his gifts were nothing but ordinary, then it would be better for him not to take them out than be ridiculed by people.
Meanwhile, Tate had just calmed down when he gloomily said, "You could have at least offered something on par with me. Do you really think you are that qualified to take Lucilla's hand in marriage with your gifts? I doubt that. Even if Lucilla finally agrees to marry you, I will never admit defeat. I know that I can offer her better than what you are offering her."
"Mr. Tate, this is my private affair. And I believe that this has nothing to do with you. Why should I care if you approve or not..." Lucilla smiled indifferently. Now, she finally had the chance to fight back and make them feel her wrath. In fact, Tate even twisted the facts and implied that she was a slut. If it weren't for Rocky appearing in just the right time and taking a hands-on approach to clear up the misunderstanding, then she would still be in a dilemma up until now. And if that happened, then she would be coerced by her elder uncles, Tod and Freddy, to resign from her position as the chief of the Cao Clan.
"Lucilla, do you want to give it a try? If I can't get you, then surely, no one else can." At that moment, Tate's eyes narrowed and looked like the possessive man that he was.
On the other hand, everyone who was there was satisfied to see this act of jealousy. It was surprising enough that two of the strongest clans of the Timber Deity Empire would fight this way, but what was even more unexpected was Rocky's presence.
However, Rocky smiled calmly and turned to ask, "So what did Mr. Tate prepare for this proposal? What did you get for Lucilla?"
Hearing this, Tate immediately winked at the three servants who stood beside him. Soon after, the presents were shown to the people.
"Wow, Mr. Tate, you are so generous. You even sent out the Dark Heaven Egg with the medium quality," Rocky said in surprise as he glanced at the gifts in awe.
"Humph!" Tate heard what Rocky had said and thought that Rocky must feel so uncomfortable now that he knew how big Tate's gifts were. After all, although Rocky was, without a doubt, a strong beast master and a good spirit manipulator, it was still impossible for Rocky to get a hold of a great treasure. Without a rich family background, he knew that Rocky could never afford a treasure, such as a medium grade Dark Heaven Egg. Therefore, at that moment, Tate was sure that he could defeat Rocky in this game.
"Hey, are you sure about this? If not, then we can stall. It can buy us time and figure out a way..." Lucilla whispered to Rocky upon seeing Tate's gifts. With the Cao Clan's power, it was no doubt that they must have collected some wonderful treasures. Even though they could not pull off something as grand as the medium grade Dark Heaven Egg, they could most surely take out something as valuable as the rest two presents that Tate had shown them. But at that moment, it was impossible for Lucilla to take anything away from their storehouse so quickly. Moreover, she might get suspected for doing so.
"Now that Mr. Tate has presented three kinds of presents, I'll show three gifts, too." But Rocky shook his head and smiled upon hearing Lucilla's words. Soon after, he took his silk bag and took out his presents.
"Now, how about these three things?" Rocky spread out his hand, and the objects in his hand immediately emitted a strong dark luster, which stunned everyone around him.
"Here... The medium grade Dark Heaven Egg..."
"Not just one, but three of them? Are you serious?"
