Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Melusina stood sideways in front of Bai Yu and said calmly: "Who are you?"

"Let me introduce myself, I am Morse from the Laurentian family." The middle-aged man picked up a glass of red wine and said, "Ilsa, she is my niece."

Melusina asked indifferently: "So Mr. Morse, what do you want to say?"

"It's not a big deal." Morse Laurent narrowed his eyes slightly: "I just feel that... Master Bai and Ilsa are not a good match."

This sentence immediately triggered many chain reactions in the banquet.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Hurry up and apologize to Master Bai!"

"Donghuang cannot be insulted, Morse, are you crazy?"

"Calm down, calm down, everyone." Morse raised his hand and pressed down: "I'm not saying that Master Bai is not qualified, but I'm saying that Ilsa is not worthy... Laurentine is trying too hard."

"This sentence is inappropriate for you." Melusina tapped her fingers on the goblet, her voice echoed crisply, and she said with a cold look: "It is up to us to decide whether to climb high or not."

Mors shook the red wine glass in his hand. Faced with Melusina's powerful aura, he calmly took a step back and said calmly: "Don't be too harsh, Miss President... This engagement was originally meant to be... It’s a bit forced, why not get it back on track?”

Melusina said nothing, but a crack appeared on the wine glass she was holding.

No one in Rome dared to speak to her like that.

In the middle of winter, everyone knew how much the Laurentian family had received from Bai Potian.

As a result, he had not shown up for just a few months, and these people showed such ugly behavior. Does this mean... that they want to terminate the engagement?

Melusina asked calmly: "Is this what you mean, or is it the meaning of the Laurent family as a whole?"

Immediately some elders nearby said: "It's all Morse's own opinion!"

"We will not support him!"

"Morse, how dare you be so rude to our distinguished guest, get out of here!"

Correspondingly, there are also a backbone of veterans who support Morse.

"The original marriage contract was unreasonable."

"The head of the family made a marriage contract, but now that the head of the family is gone, it's time to reconsider."

"..."

All kinds of rhetoric were used, and the banquet scene once again turned into a quagmire of quarrels.

This is also the effect Morse needs.

This was a deliberate result.

If Ilsa is allowed to break off the engagement privately, this matter may not become a big deal. Ilsa will still take over the position of the head of the family, and he will still not be able to sit on the position of the head of the family.

And now, bringing this matter out of the way created a dilemma for Ilsa.

If Ilsa admits that she wants to break off the engagement, Donghuang will definitely be furious. Ilsa will also be responsible for this matter. The backbone of the elders who originally supported the family leader will reconsider their position. It is only a matter of time before they seize power.

If she doesn't admit that she wants to break off the engagement, then force her to get married quickly. As long as she goes to Rome, Laurentine's position as head of the family will also fall into her hands.

Morse blocked both roads, and the next step was to wait for Ilsa to come forward.

"Okay, stop arguing."

He had already seen the other party appearing at the other end of the banquet hall, so he raised his voice and asked in public.

"Ilsa, now you are the acting head of the family, and everything is decided by yourself."

"Should this engagement continue or be annulled?"

The elder at the banquet gate not far away had a livid face and secretly thought that this situation was simply terrible.

He should have come directly to settle the situation. Unexpectedly, Morse had already left an informant in the manor and came here to make a fool of himself.

How does this make the head of the family step down?

It's clearly a dilemma.

He was about to open his mouth to build a step.

At the same time, her eyes were crazy and hinted, letting Ilsa excuse herself by saying she was not feeling well, and put it off as long as she could... Making a decision immediately on the spot was undoubtedly an irrational choice.

Unexpectedly, Ilsa, who had already changed into a banquet evening dress, stepped directly into the banquet venue.

The beautiful dark red eyes swept over the crowd, passed over Morse's body, and then landed on the young man in the center of the banquet.

"break off an engagement?"

The corners of his lips were raised in question.

She stared straight at Bai Yu with her beautiful dark red eyes.

In the shallow smile, two fangs were exposed.

"When did I say..."

"Are you going to break off the engagement?"

Looking around, the bright red magic power surged like a tidal wave, and she said loudly.

"Everyone in the Laurentian family, please listen to me——"

"In this life, I will not marry anyone other than Mr. Yu!"

Chapter 776 Five hundred years have passed

Time goes back to a moment ago.

In fact, Ilsa Laurening had been standing outside the banquet hall silently observing the guests.

She arrived one step behind on purpose.

She had already guessed in advance that Morse would definitely come over in advance to cause a scene, but she planned to seize the opportunity to enter.

It's just that the opportunity was delayed because...

The first time she saw Bai Yu, she couldn't take her eyes away.

"Miss?" the maid on the side asked softly, "Aren't you going to change your clothes?"

"Change, change immediately..." Ilsa breathed a sigh of relief: "Bring me my most beautiful dress."

"The most beautiful one?" the maid blinked: "Miss, don't tell me to be more simple, it's better to change into a black mourning dress..."

Before she finished speaking, the maid was knocked on the head and hurriedly ran to prepare.

Through the single-sided glass, Ilsa looked at the young man in the center of the banquet venue and pursed her lips.

"It's him, it must be him!"

She muttered silently, clasping her fingers: "It must be Mr. Yu..."

It had been so long, and she thought she would never have the chance to meet again.

Life is full of coincidences. As long as you wait long enough, miracles will always happen.

……

Time returns to the present.

During the banquet, Ilsa said, "I don't know what breaking off the engagement is, and I have no interest in breaking off the engagement." This completely turned the situation around.

The sudden change of words caught everyone off guard, some were happy and some were sad.

Morse's face changed slightly, but then he sneered secretly.

The elder sighed in astonishment.

Although this saves the face of Donghuang and Bai family, it is equivalent to giving up the competition for the position of the head of the family.

What should I do next?

Morse immediately stepped forward, his smile brightening in the light and shadow: "So that's it, it seems I misunderstood my niece... Since Ilsa, you like Master Bai so much, of course I, as your uncle, also hope that You can be happy."

He clapped his hands and made it clear: "Then President Donghuang happens to be here today, so let's just set a date for the wedding."

Melusina originally looked at Ilsa with an unkind look, but when she heard that this girl was so sensible, she began to worry a lot.

As a shopping mall elite, she has seen many such scenes. After all, a simple business war involves grabbing official seals and scalding the other party's money tree to death with boiling water.

There are incidents of quarrels in the company, and it is not uncommon for them to happen here among nobles.

Morse wants to seize power, and it is not good for Donghuang for this person to be in power. Behind him are other great nobles in Longdong.

Originally, if Ilsa had said the word 'break off the engagement', then Melusina would have left the scene directly. She would not care about the rest. The entire Lorenning family would have to accept Donghuang's revenge. In her eyes, Madness proves that it is not just thinking.

But Ilsa's attitude proves that she can still be supported. At least she likes her brother... who has a vision!

After having a common language and common hobbies, Melusina liked Ilsa more than a little bit. She said calmly: "When the wedding will start and when it will be held, it is better to wait for the chairman to come back and decide in person."

Morse shook his head and said, "It's hard to put it this way. The head of the family is missing now. If there is any bad news, wouldn't it delay Ilsa's wedding?"

"Yes, the eldest lady has reached the age of marriage."

"The two of them seem to be a perfect match. Let's just set a date."

"The master of the house will also smile."

Several elders also echoed a few words.

Several senior members of the Patriarch faction wanted to express their opposition.

At this time, Ilsa had already walked closer from the other end of the banquet hall. She looked at Bai Yu and stared at him for five seconds without saying anything, but everything was left unsaid.

Bai Yu was also shocked.

I really wanted to ask what happened, but I held back my words.

He grabbed Melusina who wanted to speak and motioned her not to speak.

The scene became eerily quiet.

This is different from what Morse thought. When Ilsa admits the engagement, the situation should actually become a wrestling match between him and the president of Donghuang... As for marriage, the young master and the eldest lady have no practical effect.

But he made a mistake. The right to speak on the scene was in the hands of the nominally unmarried couple.

"Morse Laurent." Ilsa called him by his first name and said indifferently: "I know that you covet the position of the head of the family, so you want me to complete the engagement earlier."

Morse's eyelids twitched, and his expression became a bit sinister.

"I am thinking about Ilsa's lifelong happiness."

"Since you are so satisfied with the wedding, you should get married and enjoy the blessings as soon as possible, and help the Bai family flourish."

"My niece said this...uncle, I'm really going to be angry."

How hypocritical.

The contempt in Ilsa's eyes grew even stronger. "A distinguished guest has arrived, and you're causing trouble here, simply to create a dilemma for me. Now that I've spoken out, what's wrong with that?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, she directly pointed out: "If you want the position of the head of the family, you can--!"

Morse was too lazy to continue pretending. Anyway, everyone present was not an outsider, but a stakeholder.

He licked his teeth, pondered for a moment, exchanged glances with several of his confidants, and then said, "What do you want?"

"It's not that I want something, but that you want this position, then rely on your strength to grab it."

Ilsa said loudly: "I will give you three days. You can use all your connections to find a suitable duel agent."

"The position of the head of the family will be given to the winner!"

The decision of the acting family leader echoed loudly.

Faced with this decision, some people were secretly happy, some frowned, some were silent, some were moved, and some were overjoyed.

Melusina did not expect that Ilsa would be so decisive, directly deciding the outcome through a knight's duel, and also allowing the other party to directly look for foreign aid. This is really a bit...

"What does President Donghuang think?"

Morse did not answer immediately, but looked at the two people on the other side with burning eyes.

He wanted to agree immediately, but he still wanted to see what Donghuang meant.

Melusina rationally didn't want to accept it. She had invested too much in it and it was really unnecessary to stress the outcome of a duel.

"Okay." In front of everyone's shocked gazes, Bai Yu proactively replied, "Donghuang agrees to this duel."
