After leaving the Chenfei Group, Dustin and Natasha first went to the mall and bought a lot of gifts, from the octogenarians to the toddlers, all the relatives of the Duncan family, all of which should be there.

Later, the two went to the antique shop and picked out a nice calligraphy and painting for Duke Duncan.

At dusk, Dustin, who had prepared everything, visited Duke Duncan's mansion for the first time.

Duke Duncan's mansion is located in the central area of ​​the inner city of Stonia. It is in the form of a quadrangle and covers a large area.

Duke Duncan has three sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Kangjian Duncan, serves in the court and holds a third-rank official position with a high status.

The second son, Guofei Duncan, is engaged in the pharmaceutical industry and is worth tens of billions. He is a famous entrepreneur in Stonia.

The third son, Zhengjun Duncan, is doing well in the army and is now a third-rank general.

The youngest daughter, Jessica, the mother of Natasha, is extremely favored in the entire Duncan family.

Natasha also became the apple of the Duncan family's eye. They held her in their hands for fear of dropping her and held her in their mouths for fear of melting her.

The rapid rise of Natasha's Chenfei Group was inseparable from the help of her grandfather and three uncles.

So after hearing that Natasha was going to bring her fiancé home, the entire Duncan family paid special attention to it and made sufficient preparations early.

Grandfather Xueliang Duncan rushed home as soon as possible, and the three uncles even turned down their work at hand and planned to check it carefully.

So when Dustin stepped into the living room, he was really shocked by the scene in front of him.

In the living room, dozens of people were sitting in a crowd, four generations were living together, and basically everyone who could come had already arrived.

Especially those pairs of burning eyes, which made Dustin feel uncomfortable all over.

Didn't they say they were just having a simple meal? Why did they make it so grand?

Dustin cast an inquiring look at Natasha next to him, and the latter winked playfully, revealing an innocent look.

"Is this Natasha's fiancé? He is indeed a handsome man!"

"He has a good appearance, but I don't know how capable he is? Don't be a useless pretty boy."

"Don't worry, Natasha's vision is not bad. After all, she doesn't even take Mark Montgomery, a child of heaven, seriously."

"..."

Everyone looked at Dustin carefully and couldn't help whispering.

"Ahem!"

Duke coughed twice, and the surroundings instantly became quiet.

It is very impolite to discuss with guests in person.

"Dustin, this is my grandfather, this is my grandmother, this is my uncle, second uncle, third uncle, first aunt, second aunt, third aunt, and my cousins..."

Natasha smiled and introduced her relatives one by one.

Dustin also greeted politely.

"Grandpa, this is the Dustin I mentioned to you. You met him in Balerno before." Natasha said again.

"Yes, he is a very energetic young man." Duke Duncan nodded with satisfaction.

He had already asked someone to investigate the information about Dustin.

He is a genius who is both civil and military, worthy of his granddaughter.

As for his specific identity, it is quite mysterious. With his connections, he can't find it out in a short time.

But the more this is the case, the more it proves that the other party is extraordinary.

"Grandpa, this is his first visit, and Dustin has specially prepared gifts for you."

Natasha said, waving her hand, and soon several servants came in with large and small bags.

Then, Natasha took Dustin and began to distribute gifts one by one from big to small.

Fortunately, the two were well prepared, and there were still some left after dozens of gifts were distributed.

Of course, the leftovers were not taken back, and they were all given to several cute little guys.

"Hey! Just come, why do you need so many gifts? You're so polite!"

"Yes, Dustin, we'll be a family from now on, no need to be so polite."

"Come on, come on, don't stand, sit down!"

"..."

The three uncles were very enthusiastic. After pulling Dustin to sit down, they began to ask about his well-being and all kinds of questions.

How old are you this year? What's your occupation? Where are your parents from?

The three of them talked one after another, their curiosity overflowed.

Dustin smiled and responded one by one.

Looking at the three uncles who were gossiping constantly, Natasha was very helpless. They just met and checked the household registration here? Is it polite?

Seeing that the three uncles were endless, Natasha could only wink and ask for help from her grandfather.

"Okay, okay, all of you say less, it's almost time for dinner, eat first, and chat while eating."

As soon as Duke Duncan spoke, the three finally quieted down.

Then, a group of people walked into the dining room in a mighty manner.

Such grand scenes usually only happen during the New Year and other festivals, but today is obviously an exception.

In the dining room, two large round tables were almost full of people.

Dustin, the distinguished guest, was arranged to sit next to Duke Duncan and sit in the main guest seat.

Just as everyone was preparing to eat, the housekeeper of the Duncan Mansion suddenly hurriedly walked in and came to Duke Duncan to report: "Master, Mark Montgomery from the Montgomery Palace is here to visit."

"Mark Montgomery? What is he doing here?" Uncle Kangjian Duncan frowned.

"Last time, the Montgomery Palace said that it wanted to form an alliance with our Duncan family. Isn't this guy here to propose marriage today?" Uncle Guofei Duncan asked suspiciously.

"Humph! A playboy wants to marry the daughter of our Duncan family. He is really dreaming!" Uncle Zhengjun Duncan said coldly.

Obviously, the three of them did not have a good impression of Mark Montgomery.

Indeed, Mark Montgomery was one of the four princes of Stonia, and he was extremely outstanding in every aspect, and was the object of dreams of countless women.

But they really couldn't praise his character. - Ton

Interception

Li Guanglong’s fingers gently stroked the ornate box, the chill of its silken surface seeping into his fingertips, yet it could not mask the damp sweat pooling in his palm. He glanced at Murong Xue, who was locked in a drinking contest with Batu. Murong was tilting back his head, draining a large bowl of amber-colored liquor. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, and in the corner of his eye he cast a fleeting glance toward the copper kettle in the corner of the igloo. That was where they had hidden the prepared knockout drug --- brewed from a poisonous herb of the icefields that gave off a sweet aroma. Once mixed into strong liquor, it was nearly impossible to detect. “Leader Batu truly has a mighty capacity for drink!” Murong Xue slammed his empty bowl down on the table, sending ice shards scattering. “This ‘ice-burn’ liquor cuts like a blade. Ordinary men collapse after three bowls, yet you remain unshaken. Truly worthy of being called the eagle of the snowfields!” Batu r...

Frozen Wasteland

The ice sculptures shimmered with a cold light in the biting wind, the soldiers’ twisted faces sealed inside the crystalized frost, as if still crying out from the agony of being frozen alive. Li Guanglong stared at those figures, his Adam’s apple rolling a few times as he forced down the tremor in his chest. He raised a hand to rub his still-stiff arm. The spot that had been swept by the white mist earlier was still faintly bruised with purplish-blue, the chill seeming to seep deep into his very bones. “Your Highness, that spirit deer carries a poisonous cold beyond imagination.” Wan Zhong leaned on his blade as he walked over, the wound on his lone arm having split open again from the cold. Blood seeped through the bandages, dripping scarlet dots onto the snow. He gazed toward where the deer had vanished, his eyes full of dread. “We’d best hold our camp steady for now, and not recklessly provoke the creatures of this island again.” Li Guanglong nodded silently. His earlier ...

Seeking Medicine for a Father

When Li Weimin’s decree was issued, reactions across the factions varied. At that moment, Li Wenxing was in his study, weighing the pros and cons of the recent trip to Southern Frontier. Although he hadn’t stood out much, compared to Li Guanglong and Li Juntang, he was still the more capable one. But this minor advantage clearly wasn’t enough to change the overall outcome. Just then, Qian Jin rushed in and reported, “Your Highness! A message from the palace --- His Majesty’s condition has worsened, and he has only a short time left. He has issued a special decree: any royal family member who can journey to Penglai Island and retrieve the elixir will become the future crown prince!” “Future crown prince?” Hearing this, Li Wenxing’s spirits lifted immediately. But soon after, he frowned. He had, of course, heard of Penglai Island --- but only in legends. Whether it truly existed in the East Sea, and whether it held any elixir that could extend life, remained unknown. ...
