Regal Guard of Dragon
Chapter 866 Comfort of a Stranger

But he could easily feel that the girl's mood was very low, like a fallenflower that lost its charm.

But he did not know how to comfort her, so he quietly accompaniedChloe.

Finn was silent, and Chloe realized that she was getting a little tooemotional. She lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry.”

Finn wanted to raise his hand to comfort the girl, but he put it downbefore he lifted it up. This was just a stranger, and too much concernwould only lead to misunderstanding.

"Nothing. Maybe there was something wrong with what I said thatcaused you so much pain.”

Chloe shook her head. "No. I was just... thinking about some badmemories. It's my problem."

Then she stood up and wanted to leave. No one was willing to showtheir loss to others, let alone to a stranger.

When she left, he was alone in the quiet garden.

Finn was about to get up when someone else approached.

Magnus walked up to Finn without a sword and dressed casually. "MayI have a word with you?" Magnus asked.

Finn sat down again. "We don't seem to know each other very well,” hesaid.

But Magnus didn't care. He just wanted to talk to someone.

"I've been in a low mood lately.” Finn wanted to leave when he saw thatMagnus didn't respect him, but hearing Magnus's words, he sat downagain.

"I know something, but I can't change it or even tell anyone what I wantto do.”

Finn wanted to ask what it was, but he didn't. "You live in the Qianfamily. Is there something the Qian family can't do?"

Magnus shook his head. "Maybe that's my biggest obstacle I have beenpracticing martial arts for 14 years, and since I was four years old, I havebeen using medicine liquid to wash myself. At that time, I lived a painfullife as I had to practice myself."

"This lasted for a whole year before I was qualified to practice martialarts of my family.”

"Since you are practicing martial arts, you have to endure hardships.And now that you are at such a high level. In addition to your talent,efforts are also important,” said Finn.

But Magnus smiled wryly, "What's the use of it? I can do nothing.”

The flowers fell on his shoulders and hair, but Magnus didn't care aboutit. There was a look of despair in his eyes. He had his head down,seeming to be suffering deep sorrow.

Finn didn't know anything, so he couldn't say anything, just sitting therelike an invisible man.

Magnus did not mind, but added, "She didn't think I know it, but howcan I not know? The way she looks at me and talks to me is enough toexpress her feelings.”

"When I feel strange, I will naturally go to check it. When I knew thetruth, I became crazy, crazy to get her back immediately. But soon Icalmed down. This is the Qian family.”

Speaking of the Qian family, Magnus was depressed. It was like he wassuppressed by a mountain and he couldn't breathe.

"I hate myself for my cowardice. I've been practicing my sword skills allmy life, but I can't use it to protect the person I care about. What's theuse of my practicing the skills?"

He threw his head back, and was surrounded by despair.

Finn didn't want to say anything, but looked at his pain, he finally said,"Are you still a man?"

Magnus looked up at Finn and said, "Of course I'm a man."

"Then you should do what a man should do. What pain, despair, thoseare excuses. You don't care about her and you only think for yourself.Stop making excuses for your selfishness. It's ridiculous.”

Magnus stared at him angrily, his fists clenched, as if he was going topunch Finn if he continued to mock him.

"You cannot let go of the Qian family's identity. You cannot let go of thecomfortable life now. You dare not to face the wind and rain that theQian family has born for you."

Before he finished, Magnus rushed forward, grabbed Finn by the collar,and was about to hit him in the face.

But Finn didn't fight back. Magnus couldn't win him, and if he had beenon his guard, Magnus wouldn't have even grabbed his collar.

Being seen through by Finn, Magnus had no courage left.

He slowly let go of Finn, sat back in his seat, and mumbled, "You'reright.”

He shook his head. "You're right. Selfish? Yes. But there was nothing Icould do."

He was still miserable, and nothing could be changed.

Finn advised, "If you don't want to be so painful, then be selfish as youlike. It won't change anything, but at least you wouldn't have to be inagony.”

Everyone would advise others to be a good man, but Finn was trying topersuade Magnus to be selfish, and he didn't see a problem with that."It'd be better to change himself than to suffer and not changeanything.” thought Finn.

But Magnus looked at Finn with a sneer.

"You are a devil. You're bringing people down.”

Finn was stunned and laughed, "Devil never exists. Devil only lives ineveryone's heart. It just depends on what you'll do.”

"That's a good point.”

Finn had no idea what Magnus was going to do. He left alone, takingthe flowers that fell on him with him.

After he met these two strange people, Finn didn't want to stay hereanymore. He was afraid that there would be other Qians nearby. It wasnot good to see someone so sad.

Back to his room, Cassius came to see him before dinner. Theyexchanged some polite formula and then Cassius left.

The whole family was excited the next day. People had been busy withpreparing the wedding yesterday, and now the big letter day had come!There were people coming and going everywhere, getting ready thered strings and the red carpet. Everything was in place.

The guests had not yet arrived, so important figured hadn't shown up.Finn, however, saw Cassius in the hall.

"Mr. Chen, did you sleep well last night?" Cassius asked.

Finn smiled. "Yes, I seldom had such a sound sleep. Thank you for yourhospitality.”

After a few more casual conversations, Finn realized that he didn't knowwho the new couple are. "May I know who the couples are?" he asked."Oh, I forgot to tell you yesterday. They are a perfect match!” saidCassius with a smile.
