Chapter 1387.

On the afternoon of Ronan’s second day back in the Raymond family, a grand engagement ceremony was held in the manor. The protagonist of the engagement was Luo Nan’s sister, Jenny. Raymond, this direct daughter of the Raymond family was three years older than him and was already twenty-two years old this year.

According to the standards of this world, Ms. Jenny belonged to the older unmarried women.

The object of her engagement is a direct descendant of the Grantham family, named Herman Grantham. Herman Grantham.

Grantham is also a local baronial family, and its estate is less than ten kilometers away from the Raymond family’s estate, so it’s not too much to say that they are neighbors.

Jenny. Jenny Raymond and Herman Grantham were about the same age. Jenny Raymond and Herman Grantham were of similar age and status, so they belonged to the marriage of the right family.

In the custom of the Kingdom of Inverness, the engagement ceremony was done at the woman’s home.

The marriage is on the man’s side.

On the day of the engagement, basically all the members of the Raymond family rushed over, including those who had already married out and separated out, as well as some close relatives.

In addition, there were also quite a few local nobles around Frye Town, who also sent people to observe the ceremony.

The entire manor was decorated, a long cold table was set up, and a band from the town was invited to perform, the atmosphere was very lively.

The children of the family were happy, running around on the lawn.

It was just that human grief and joy were not connected, and Ronan, as an onlooker, only felt that they were noisy.

This engagement ceremony, he watched the whole ceremony.

But did not socialize with anyone.

It was only after the ceremony ended in the evening and all the guests excused themselves and left that Luo Nan was invited by the butler to the study.

This time, he met his cheap old man Malcolm.

As well as a stout middle-aged strong man.

This was none other than the captain of the Raymond Manor’s guards by the name of Abel.

When Ronan’s gaze looked at the other party, this airy and brawny fellow revealed his white teeth at him.

The butler closed the door of the room and retreated, and Mr. Baron, who was sitting behind the desk, said expressionlessly, “Sit down, I have something to discuss with you.”

Is this considered a figure of speech?

Ronan sat down opposite him unhurriedly, “Father, what is it that you are looking for me for?”

Baron Malcolm stared at Luo Nan for a full half a minute before speaking, “It’s a good thing.”

What good thing?

It turned out to be that a rather wealthy widow known to the Baroness was interested in recruiting, hoping to find a young man who was around twenty years of age, had a clear look and a childish temperament, and came from a noble family as a companion.

The widow owns properties and stores in both Frye and Rand, and also runs a profitable manor.

Although she was not of noble status, she belonged to the real rich!

The Baroness felt that Ronan’s conditions in every aspect were very much in line with the other party’s requirements, so she intended to pull a string for him.

“I know I treated you poorly in the past.”

Baron Malcolm’s voice became softer: “Although Lady Melissa is a bit older, she can still bear children and is well connected in Randall City, so she can help you promote up.”

“Even if you don’t want to be a police officer anymore it’s still possible, her family has quite a few properties, just take out one of them and it’s enough for you to be carefree for the rest of your life.”

“I think this is a good opportunity, don’t you?”

Although it was in a consultative tone, this baron’s eyes were telling Luo Nan-this was not negotiable!

Luo Nan smiled, “If it’s so good, then why doesn’t Lord Father go into the family?”

“You!”

Baron Malcolm burst into a rage, his face instantly reddened and he couldn’t help but clench his fists.

He held back and still didn’t explode, “You mean you don’t want to?”

Luo Nan nodded, “That’s right, there’s no way I’ll agree.”

“Fine then.”

Baron Malcolm said with a sullen face, “The Raymond family has raised you for nineteen years, if you’re not willing to pay for the family, then return this money, and I’ll give you all the freedom you need!”

“I thought it was over three years ago.”

Luo Nan smiled and said, “Then Mr. Baron, name a number.”

The other party’s way of pressing couldn’t be said to be stupid, and in the original body’s place, he probably wouldn’t have been able to carry such pressure at all.

It was a pity that the original body had long since been dispersed from its soul!

Luo Nan had returned this time simply to break the karma.

The pressure Baron Malcolm thought he was applying was instead exactly what he wanted!

And hearing Luo Nan’s reply, Malcolm froze, his eyes flickering.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, “Two hundred gold pounds, we’ll break it off!”

Baron Malcolm knew very well that a young man like Luo Nan, who had just graduated from school and worked with little background, would earn just ten or twenty gold pounds a year in Rand City.

After deducting the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation, it would be good to save two gold pounds a year.

Two hundred gold pounds, that is Ronan’s savings for a hundred years!

He was certain that the other party couldn’t take it out at all.

“Very well…”

However, Mr. Baron never expected that Luo Nan directly pulled out two checks from his pocket and placed them in front of him.

“We’re two clear.”

Baron Malcolm couldn’t believe his eyes.

Because what Ronan took out was clearly a cash check issued by the Royal Bank, and the quota for both of them was one hundred gold pounds.

He incredulously picked them up and examined them repeatedly to make sure they were genuine and not forgeries.

The Royal Bank is the largest and most powerful bank in the Kingdom of Invidia, and also has the sole right to mint coins, equivalent to the national bank, and naturally has the best reputation.

These two checks could be completely used as cash.

The problem was, where did Luo Nan get so much money?

How much was his monthly salary!

Because he was too shocked, this Mr. Baron was completely speechless.

But Luo Nan had something to say, he pulled a piece of letter paper next to him and said blandly, “Now that the money is given, you write a deed.”

As a matter of fact this time when he came back, Luo Nan brought over a total of five golden pound checks of one hundred denominations.

It was to buy out the original body’s kinship bloodline!

As a result, only two were used.

Baron Malcolm came back to his senses, his face hardened to the extreme.

The veins on his forehead bulged as he pinched the check in his hand and yelled lowly, “Ronan, I am your father!”

This Mr. Baron felt greatly insulted.

“Kid, watch your attitude!”

Captain Abel, who was on the side, was very upset and extended his palm to slap the back of Luo Nan’s head.

As a result, before his hand could touch Luo Nan’s head, Luo Nan grabbed his wrist and then twisted it with force.

“Ah!”

A mournful scream suddenly rang out.

The brawny escort captain’s right arm twisted and he involuntarily knelt on the ground, fainting on the spot from the pain.

Ronan let go of his hand and allowed Abel to collapse on the floor.

He said to the jaw-dropping Baron Malcolm, “I forgot to tell you, I’m not an ordinary police officer now, but a detective of Rand City’s Third Police Station!”

Saying that, Ronan pulled out the revolver stuck in his waistband, pushed the barrel against the letter paper on the table, and pushed it towards the other party.

“Mr. Baron, you won’t keep your word, will you?”

“Won’t I?”
