The Man's Decree novel Chapter 1699

Meanwhile, in the Gunderson residence at Jadeborough, Fernando said, “Astrid, pick some expensive gifts and send them over during the opening ceremony of Deragon Sect.”

“I’ve already made the necessary arrangements, Dad. I’ve already emptied out our storehouse.” Astrid chuckled. “Huh? What for?” Puzzlement was written all over Fernando’s face

“I’m going to be Jared’s woman in the future. That means his sect will be mine, too. Of course, I’ll have to bring more things over,” Astrid stated without a hint of shyness.

Fernando’s heart sank when he heard that. After all, he knew Jared’s true identity and understood that his daughter could never be worthy of him.

Nonetheless, if Jared really ended up with Astrid, the status of Fernando’s family would rise greatly in the Gunderson family.

“Oh, well… I guess every woman has to marry sooner or later…” he muttered with a bitter smile. He decided to not restrain Astrid and let her pursue Jared in her own ways.

Just then, a servant of the Gunderson family reported, “Mr. Gunderson, a young man wants to see you. He says he’s from the Gingerich family.” “The Gingerich family?”

A subtle frown appeared on Fernando’s face, and he waved his hand. “Let him in.” Not long after, a fairly dark-skinned young man dressed in casual clothes stepped into the area.

“Hello, Mr. Gunderson. My name is Verner Gingerich,” Verner greeted politely.

“Verner Gingerich?” Fernando found the name rather familiar. After pondering for some time, he uttered, “I remember now. You’re from the Gingerich family in the northwest, the person who shocked everyone by defeating dozens of people in a row, right?”

Verner smiled embarrassedly. “Indeed, but I’m a nobody compared to you, Mr. Gunderson.”
