Regal Guard of Dragon -
Chapter 787 To Marry Russell
Finn was silent again.
Reason told him that what Holy King said was only one-sided, and thereal reason was definitely not that simple.
"Your Majesty, you marry Russell to me because I won the WorldMartial Arts Competition this time, right?" After a short period ofsilence, Finn spoke. He wanted to confirm what Holy King reallythought.
"Yes." Holy King nodded.
"In addition to what I have just said, your success of the World MartialArts Championship is a major reason. I have underestimated youbefore. I don't want her to marry a man weaker than she is. The manshe should marry must be stronger than she is, so that in the future, hecan protect her.”
Holy King did not deny this, of course. Everyone could see Finn's statusin the world of martial arts was very high.
Moreover, for Russell and the people of the Holy Sect, there was nolove. Marriage was based on interest!
They must be sacrificing marriage for some kind of benefit! Therewould be no other possibilities!
"It shouldn't be that simple.”
After the shock, Finn had now calmed down a bit. Although Holy Kingwas sincere in what he said, he still felt that Holy King had withheldsome of the reasons, but by the way Holy King looked, it was clear thathe didn't mean to Finn what those reasons were.
So, Finn didn't want to ask any more questions.
"How do you think about it?"
"According to your Country C, if you become Russell's husband, you'llbe our Holy Sect's son-in-law. You know very well how powerful theHoly Sect is around the world." Holy King smiled and said, "If you reallybecome our son-in-law, then you will have to do something for us. Ofcourse, we will give you much for what you have done. For example, wecan provide you with all the training resources, like martial arts,medicinal materials, etc. Even if you join the religion, I may let youinherit my position!"
"However, all these are based on your agreement to marry Russell andyour willingness to work for the Holy Sect. If you don't want to marryRussell, or if you don't want to work for us, then I'm not going to tellyou the secrets of the Holy Sect, so I want you to think about it." At thispoint, Holy King gave Finn another look.
Finn took a deep breath and said, "Holy King, as I said before, in myeyes, Russell is a perfect woman. It is my honor to be liked by her.""But there are a lot of things in this world that is beyond love."Although Finn wanted to know what Holy King wanted him to do, hedid suppress his curiosity for the moment.
He first sincerely praised Russell, then said, "So, thank you for yourkindness, but I can't marry Holy Virgin."
What?!
Upon hearing Finn's words, Holy Virgin's face suddenly changed. Shelooked up in panic as if she had been sentenced to death and looked atFinn in disbelief. It seemed to be asking, "Why?"
Holy King's face also sank, "Finn, in my opinion, you are a wise man.You should be clear what I mean. Once you marry Russell, what you aregoing to get would be unthinkable. In addition to the power of HolySect, you will also receive countless training resources. With theseresources, you will have a great chance to be the strongest man in theworld.”
"So, I hope you can think twice and retract your previous answer."Holy King was not an ordinary person, so he quickly recovered from hisprevious astonishment. In his opinion, Finn had no reason to refusehim.
Even if he didn't like Russell, Finn shouldn't refuse the Holy Sect,because the Holy Sect could offer him not only immense power, but thepromising future of becoming one of the world's top powers.
"Your Majesty, I know what you mean, and I also know that you willnever cheat me. If I agree to marry Russell, I can become the mostpowerful man on the planet, and also one of the strongest on theplanet.” Finn nodded slightly. All along, he knew Holy King would notfool him with this, but he also knew that what he was going to ask himto do was absolutely extraordinary.
After all, there was no such thing as free lunch. Opportunities wereoften accompanied by risks, so the task Holy King was going to ask himto do was not something simple.
“Then why do you refuse me?" Stunned, Russell spoke up. She didn'tthink Finn had any reason to turn her down.
"Is it because you don't like me?" Russell asked again.
"No, no, no. My praise for you was not flattering you, but from thebottom of my heart. And I am deeply fond of you — you are a womanany man would want to marry!" Finn shook. He didn't want to hurtRussell.
Other than that, as he said, he had a very good impression of Russell."Then why did you refuse me?" Once again, Holy King asked and wentstraight to the point.
"Because I have a wife!" Finn gave a succinct but firm answer.
Of course, she knew that Finn had a wife, but as far as she knew, Finn'swife was only a woman from an ordinary family in Country C. Even ifshe was pretty, she was definitely not good enough for Finn.
"Mr. Finn, I think your excuse is a bit far-fetched. Russell and I bothknow you have a wife, but we still offer such olive branch. Do you knowwhy?"
Before Finn spoke, Holy King continued, "We think that the marriagebetween you and your wife is an unequal game. She is not worthy ofyou in the past, and she is even less worthy of you now. So, you candivorce her and remarry Russell at any time if you want.”
"Sorry, Holy King, I can't do it.” Finn shook, and said firmly, "My wifeMaura stood by me when I was at my most abject and most difficulttimes. She stood by me in everything I did. She committed her wholelife to me. So, I would not let her down."
"Are you sure?”
Holy King's complexion had become sullen.
Apparently, he couldn't imagine that Finn would give up the power athis fingertips and another incredibly beautiful and wonderful womanfor the love of a normal woman!
"Yes." Finn gave a firm answer.
After hearing Finn's words, Russell's face turned a little white. Shelowered her head, feeling no longer shy and nervous, but lost.
"I have to say, young man, that your choices and reasons are quitebeyond my expectation.” Holy King spoke again, he first sighed, andthen said, "But I still hope you can think about it. Also, I would like toremind you that Musashi Miyamoto, Soroka and Philip are all trying tokill you, and they are probably outside Sanskrit City right now. As longas you agree to marry Russell, the Holy Sect can help you resolve thecrisis, even kill them for you!"
