Galeno sighed. "It's my wife. She has a close relationship with the Huo family. This time, Hallem, the head of the Huo family, came to my house in person to assign me this task. I can't refuse them, so I have to..."

"T-This, but the Huo family should know that I'm already married." Fade still found it a little strange.

Galeno looked at him and said, "Fade, you are now a Half-Lord expert. You are no longer an ordinary person."

"The rules of marriage and monogamy no longer apply to people of your level."

"Sabrina is talented and beautiful. The Huo family is also a powerful family in Capital City. I don't think it's necessary for her to marry me," Fade protested.

"""I don't know what the Huo family is thinking, but I think I can guess," Galeno replied.

"They may be influential in the political and business circles but they are not strong enough in the martial arts world."

"Fade, since your return from Micovia, you've become quite famous. In addition, news of what happened in Pagodaland and the Xuan Valley has spread like wildfire." "You're a young Half-Lord master without any familiar background. It's only natural for these large families in Capital City to try to rope you in."

"I've heard that more than a dozen other families are also interested in you. The Huo family just beat them to the punch."

Fade was a bit shocked. He never expected to be so high in demand.

For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

Seeing this, Galeno said, "Fade, about Sabrina..."

"Master Zhu, I'm already married. I can't entertain this proposal. Would you tell them I refused, please?" Fade said.

Hearing this, Galeno couldn't help but put on a bitter expression. "Fade, I'm not trying to make this hard for you. Given my familiar relations to the Huo family, I can't refuse." "Why don't you meet Sabrina?"

"If you explain yourself clearly, the Huo family should be able to understand."

"Also, it would set a precedent. Rejecting the other families will be easier."

Fade listened in silence, thought for a moment, and agreed with a nod. "Okay, I'll meet her."

"Just tell me the place and time."

Galeno let out a sigh of relief. He quickly said, "I'll tell you the exact time and place when I get back. I'll tell you right away."

"Mmm!" Fade nodded and stood up. "Master Zhu, if there is nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Galeno knew that he had put Fade in a difficult position, so he quickly got up and personally escorted him out.

When Fade returned home, he still couldn't shake off that weird feeling.

Quin saw him enter in a daze and sat beside him. "What happened?" She asked gently.

He didn't hide anything and told her everything that had happened.

After hearing this, she could not help but fall silent.

Seeing her reaction, Fade quickly tried to reassure her, "Honey, don't worry. I won't promise the Huo family anything. I only love you. I won't be unfaithful."

She still didn't say anything. He quickly said, "I'll call Master Zhu now and refuse the proposal. I won't go to see Sabrina."

As he said this, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to dial the number.

However, at this moment, she spoke up, "Fade, there's no need."

"Honey, I really..."

She shook her head and looked at him. "I trust you," she said firmly.

Meeting his wife's firm gaze, his heart skipped a beat. He leaned over and kissed her cheek. "My dear wife, I'll love you forever." At the same time, Galeno had also returned home. He told his wife, Rosalie, what had happened.

"I already said that Fade is not that sort of person. I told all of you not to waste your time thinking about this. You insisted, but in the end, it was I who had to go and embarrass myself," he grumbled.

Rosalie frowned and peered at him through her glasses. "Fade really didn't agree? This is the Huo family we're talking about. I know Sabrina. She's very pretty. Don't tell me he's

not tempted by her?"

He glared at his spouse. "So what if it's the Huo family? Fade is currently a Half- Lord expert, and one who's not even thirty years old yet."

"How many people in the global martial arts world have reached this level?"

"Moreover, General Xu has recommended Fade to the Sixteen Inner Hall on Prohibition Island. If chosen, he will be promoted to a higher position. At that time, the Huo family will be insignificant."

Rosalie stared at him in confusion.

"You warriors with your Half-Lord and Heaven Level ranks, what are you even talking about? It's so mysterious. Is he really that

powerful?" "No matter how strong he may be, he's still just one man, isn't he? What's that to a large, ancient family?"

"What do you know? He's a Half-Lord expert. At his level, he can conquer his own country, provided it isn't too big nor has Lord Level experts, of course."

"And you think he isn't as powerful as a clan? Do you want a woman's opinion?"

Seeing him getting angry, she stopped arguing. "Fine, fine, my opinion is that of a woman's. I don't understand these things," she conceded.

"In any case, we're just middlemen. Ultimately, it's up to the young people involved."

"Either way, now that Fade has agreed to meet her, perhaps he'll change his mind."

"Fade is not that kind of person," he said, waving dismissively. "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Please contact the Huo family and make the appointment." Soon, the time and location were confirmed. Galeno relayed them to Fade.

In the Huo family home in Capital City, Sabrina slammed the door and threw herself onto the bed. Her eyes were red and filled with angry tears.

"Wh-What on earth is Grandpa doing? Why does he want me to marry that kind of person?"

Just as she was about to cry, the phone rang.

It was her best friend Amy. Sabrina immediately answered, "Amy..."

She was hit by a flurry of questions, "Sabrina, are you going to get married? Or are you going to marry the so-called Master Chen?"
