"Fatty..." Fade looked at Scott worriedly.

Scott smiled at him as he took up a piece of cake and popped it into his mouth, "Brother Fade, I'm alright. This cake's quite good. Try some."

Xante and Sierra had already reached the stage in front of the hall amidst the guests' compliments.

Without any complicated procedures, the host announced the commencement of the engagement ceremony.

As the two newlyweds came on stage, the Fang family elders came out too.

Among them, Fade and the others recognized the burly man, Sierra's brother, Madigan. In front of him was a middle-aged man and an elder.

The middle-aged man was most likely Sierra's father Talkar, and needless to say, the elder was the Old Master of the Fang family, Malvor.

The lineup showed how important the engagement was to the Fang family. After all, Malvor had already gone into seclusion for so many years and seldom appeared in front of the public. However, on Xante's side, he didn't have any other friends and family present other than his two sidekicks from the previous day.

Despite this, it was obvious that everyone didn't care about this.

The host made a brief introduction on their situations and told their love story, how they fell in love, and how they decided to get married in the end.

Although the host tried to make it sound romantic, everyone present knew that the two of them just got to know each other the previous day. Hence, the story sounded ironic.

For a moment, there were many discussions in low voices among the guests.

"A flash marriage after one day, hehe!"

"Isn't Sierra the oldest daughter of the Fang family? I heard that many eligible bachelors of Chanvor District came to ask for her hand in marriage but the Fang family rejected them all. In the end, she is engaged after knowing the other party for a day. Alas!"

"Don't be jealous. Look at Xante's identity. He's Master Chen's junior, a real big shot. Of course the Fang family can't wait to have someone like him backing them up."

"I'm not jealous; it's just a little shocking. Sierra has always been the goddess in my heart. I never thought that she'd..." "Forget about it. Your goddess may be a nobody in front of a real expert." "That's right. Strength is the most important thing in this world. Everything will be easy if your fist is strong enough."

In the meantime, Scott's face had slumped even more.

The engagement ceremony was still going on on the stage.

Madigan was the first to give an encouraging speech as her older brother. Then, Talkar made a few reminders to Xanto as Sierra's father.

Lastly, Malvor personally announced to Xanto, "Today, the Fang family will take out 30% of the family assets, including the companies under us, the martial art manuals, herbs and resources, and give them to you as Sierra's dowry."

"30% of the Fang family's assets are worth billions!"

"What the f*ck! That is a great loss to the Fang family!"

"Is the Fang family so generous? I heard that the Old Master wanted them to marry into the family when others asked for Sierra's hand in marriage."

"Xanto has really profited this time. He got such a beautiful wife and even got such a hefty sum. He's so lucky."

"Why isn't it me? Why didn't I have such a good chance!"

Amidst the jealous exclamations, the host came over to the newlyweds and asked, "Miss Sierra, are you willing to take Mr. Xanto to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

Sierra's cheeks flushed red with excitement and she nodded, "I-I do!"

The host then turned to Xanto and asked, "Mr. Xanto, are you willing to take Miss Sierra to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do!"

"I do!"

The audience burst into cheers. Many of the men present wished they could take Xante's place on stage.

In the guests' seats, the gloomy Scott was red in the face. His tightly clenched fists started to tremble.

Xanto was still smiling on stage. His already handsome face seemed even more charming. He opened his mouth slightly and looked deeply into Sierra's eyes before he spoke, "I..." However, just before he spoke the last word, there was a fierce shriek, "Shut up, you liar!"

This yell instantly cut Xanto off and made everybody look over.

Scott, who was gloomy, walked over to the stage as he gritted his teeth.

"It's you!" Xanto narrowed his eyes when he saw him.

Sierra's expression changed drastically and anger filled her beautiful face. She gritted her teeth, "You again?"

Scott glanced up at her and pleaded urgently, "Sierra, I'm really not lying. Xanto is really a liar. He..."

"Enough!" She bellowed angrily and stopped Scott. Her face was cold, "My matters are none of your business."

"Sierra, I..." Scott wanted to explain further.

However, Sierra yelled coldly again, "Don't think too much. Even if all the men on earth are gone, I won't fancy you. In my eyes, you can't even compare to a hair of Xante's. You aren't of the same level." "I... I Her word's hit Scott hard and for a time, he was

dazed on the spot.

She simply waved her hands with disgust and didn't even take another look at him.

The Fang family members started to move. Madigan brought a bunch of people as he headed for Scott, preparing to take him away.

Fade and Tom immediately rushed forward and protected Scott between them. They growled coldly, "Don't you dare touch my brother!"

Madigan scowled, "Gentlemen, today's the day of my sister's engagement. I will not allow anyone to cause trouble?"

Tom seethed in a deep voice, "We don't have any intentions of making trouble. My brother means well for the Fang family. That's why he specially reminded you." Madigan shook his head. For a moment, he was speechless.

Talkar, who was on stage, walked over too. He looked at Tom with a complicated expression.

After all, Tom used to be their first choice as Sierra's husband, but they never thought that Xante would appear out of the blue and made the Fang family change their decision. They chose Xante ultimately.

With these thoughts in mind, Talkar looked at him and said, "Mr. Tom, if you're feeling disappointed over my daughter for not choosing you, apologize for her. However, matters of the heart can't be forced, hope you understand."

"Of course, we are willing to compensate so as to express our regret."

With that, Talkar took out a bank card and passed it to Tom, "There's a million yuan in it. It's a small gift from the Fang family."
