Chapter 1337 Son of Glory

Upon seeing Zu’an, Isabella was both surprised and shy. Her previously impatient expression instantly blossomed. She casually replied to the people around her and then, lifting her skirt, skipped excitedly towards Zu’an.

Chu Chuyan breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried about Isabella’s attitude; if Isabella also favored the Templar Knights, Zu’an’s situation would be difficult.

However, she quickly paused, wondering why she was even thinking of matchmaking Zu’an with another woman. Did she really have a cuckold complex, as Manman had said?

She shuddered and quickly banished these chaotic thoughts from her mind.

Isabella was the most dazzling jewel of the Universal Merchant Guild; she was always the center of attention.

Therefore, her unusual behavior quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Many people looked at Zu’an and his companion, and couldn’t help but marvel. The man was handsome and dashing, and the woman was beautiful and ethereal; they truly looked like a divine couple.

Whispers arose among the crowd, discussing their origins. Those with inside information shared rumors about Isabella and Zaun, prompting many to cast curious glances at the blond youth, their faces showing a mixture of gossip and anticipation.

The blond youth’s handsome smile froze. Seeing Isabella’s genuine joy as she greeted Zaun, so different from her earlier absent-mindedness while chatting with him, a surge of anger welled up inside him.

Adrian’s anger level increased by 444…

Zaun looked up at the youth on the platform, thinking, “Is this guy so impatient?” Just then,

Isabella arrived, sweetly calling out, “Brother Zaun!”

She then looked at Chu Chuyan beside her, “Sister Chu.”

“Hello, little sister Bella.” In her presence, Chu Chuyan instinctively recalled the time she had been caught, feeling incredibly uncomfortable, wanting to disappear into the ground. However, in front of so many people, she didn’t want to appear timid and become a laughingstock.

Isabella had clearly thought of what happened that day as well. She was, after all, a young girl, and her beautiful face was flushed. For a moment, the two girls couldn’t find any other topic to talk about.

Sensing the strange atmosphere, Zu’an quickly spoke up, “Sister Bella, you won’t be angry that I came uninvited, will you?”

Isabella immediately panicked, “How could I? Actually, I’ve wanted to see you for a long time, but I was prevented from coming out. Brother Zu, please don’t be offended, my father has his reasons…”

Before she could finish speaking, the blond boy had already led a group of people over.

“Isabella, aren’t you going to introduce these two to us?”

Isabella frowned slightly, “Adrian, please call me by my full name. Only family and elders call me that.”

Chu Chuyan’s lips curled up slightly. This little girl really had double standards. She wasn’t annoyed at all when we called her by her nickname before; it seemed she was truly deeply in love with Zu’an.

Adrian looked slightly awkward. Being interrupted in public like that made him lose face, but considering the other woman’s somewhat spoiled nature was understandable, he didn’t want to be rude in front of others. So, he naturally gave a knightly salute: “Beautiful Miss Isabella, please forgive my rudeness.”

Those around him nodded secretly. As expected of the Shining Son of the Knights Templar, his character was impeccable.

Isabella then explained, “This is my good friend, Brother Zu, this is Sister Chu, and this is Adrian, the young commander of the Knights Templar, known as the Shining Son.”

Adrian’s eyelids twitched. Although she introduced him with more formality on the surface, the difference in their relationship was obvious.

So he looked directly at Zuan: “May I ask which star system Mr. Zu comes from? What kind of power does your family belong to?”

Zuan smiled faintly: “I come from a remote planet, and my family doesn’t have any power.”

Adrian, on the contrary, comforted her: “Mr. Zu, don’t be discouraged. Now that you’ve entered the gates of this Hall of Wealth, everyone here is a great figure from all the worlds. A little help from them is enough to make you rise to prominence.”

Isabella’s face immediately darkened. His words, on the surface, were comforting, but in reality, they were somewhat malicious.

It was as if she was saying that Brother Zu wanted to curry favor with the Hall of Wealth and had ulterior motives.

Zuan smiled: “With Sister Bella here, I don’t need to ask anyone else for help.”

Isabella’s face instantly turned red. Brother Zu was really too wicked, saying this in front of so many people on purpose, obviously to anger her.

Sure enough, Adrian’s originally handsome face instantly twisted with a look of embarrassment, especially when he noticed that Isabella beside him not only didn’t refute, but also looked shy.

He had just called her by her nickname, and she immediately corrected him seriously.

Now this guy was calling her even more affectionately, and she seemed to enjoy it.

Outrageous!

Adrian’s anger level increased by 666+666+666…

Thinking of this, he decided to stop tolerating it.

Looking at Chu Chuyan, who stood beside him like an ice queen, even the well-traveled Adrian couldn’t help but show a hint of amazement. Seeing such a beauty lessened his anger somewhat.

“Is this young lady Mr. Zu’s sister?”

Chu Chuyan hesitated, feeling that this scene indicated an inappropriate relationship between them. Just as she was about to nod, Zu An considerately took her hand: “No, she is my wife.”

These words caused an uproar among those present.

Those attending this banquet were all important figures from various factions, all well-informed.

Perhaps they didn’t know Zu An had appeared at first, but his subordinates had already presented the information.

They also knew he was the legendary man who had captivated Isabella. They

never expected him to bring his wife to the Hall of Wealth to propose marriage!

“Should I make the noble Isabella his concubine?”

Isabella lowered her head, her expression inevitably somewhat somber.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Adrian felt a surge of protective instinct, sensing it was time for him to step in.

“I think I’ve heard about you too. If I remember correctly, you’re here to propose to Mr. Aragorn, right? But bringing your first wife along for the proposal, isn’t that a bit disrespectful to the entire Temple of Wealth?” He was secretly pleased with himself; his move just now had been brilliant, instantly putting his opponent in a hopeless situation.

But thankfully, this guy was stupid enough to bring his wife along for the proposal; there was no sense of accomplishment in defeating such an opponent.

Zaun, observing his victorious expression, said calmly, “Since you know my identity, why did you deliberately ask? That’s rather hypocritical and despicable.”

Adrian’s face stiffened. Feeling the amused gazes around him, he knew his behavior had been somewhat inappropriate, but at this moment, none of that mattered: “Don’t try to change the subject. Bringing your wife to propose marriage is an insult to the entire Hall of Wealth. The elders are mindful of hospitality and haven’t said anything, but I, as a junior, have stepped forward to stand up for Isabella. Please get out of here immediately!”

Isabella was shocked and was about to stop him when Zaun splashed the wine in his hand onto his face: “Who do you think you are?”

The entire hall fell into an eerie silence.
