"Logar..."
Even though Chris's sad voice was heard, it couldn't stop him from taking the beautiful jade into his hands.
Mary looked at this scene and said with a smile: "From now on, Logar's fiancée will be Eve Albert."
Logar was still in a daze and unable to recover from all this, when Qu Lingyuan rushed into his arms.
Eve Albert…
Logar silently recited the name of the little girl in his arms.
He has never had any concept of marriage, as if no one is indispensable.
But if my future wife is this child, life will be a lot more fun, right?
————
When Chris got home, she threw herself into her father's arms and cried.
"What's wrong with my dear daughter?" Old Sterglin coaxed her carefully.
The eldest daughter has died, and now there is only one child in the family, who is treated as the apple of the eye.
"Dad, my engagement with Logar has been cancelled..." Chris raised her head, tears frozen in her eyelashes, her eyes were so red and swollen that it was heartbreaking.
"Ah? What do the Dotties mean by this?" Old Sterglin was displeased when he heard this and immediately stood up from the sofa. "I'm going to the Dotties' house to ask them for their opinion!"
Chris immediately grabbed him, a look of sadness on her face. "Dad, don't go. I made the bet myself. I didn't know she would use this opportunity to make me break off the engagement..."
"Who?" Old Stringer asked coldly with a gloomy face.
After a moment's hesitation, Claire said, "Her name is Eve Albert. Aunt Mary favored her the moment she arrived. There must be a reason for that."
Old Stergren was so furious that his mustache was raised to the sky: "What reason is there? They must have colluded all along to fool us!"
Chris lowered her head and said nothing, and old Sterglin quickly calmed down.
"My dear daughter, you will definitely find a better man."
Yi Ling was watching Chris's performance with great interest and went back to report to Qu Lingyuan.
"Find someone better? Is there any man in this world who is better than the male protagonist?" Qu Lingyuan curled her lips indifferently and put the matter behind her.
After some time, when Qu Lingyuan saw a man following Chris, she felt uneasy and the backpack behind her trembled.
The man's name was Rick, and he was the son of the richest man in Post Orc City.
The Dottie family has a long history and culture, while the family of the richest man is nothing but rich without any substance, and Rick is even a playboy.
Is this what you call better? Qu Lingyuan sneered secretly and walked towards the training ground.
Chris had spotted Qu Lingyuan a long time ago. She tugged at Rick beside her, tears welling in her eyes. "That's the one, Eve Albert. She's clearly arrogant and overconfident, yet she pretends to be innocent and humiliates me everywhere."
The petite figure walked away, and Rick narrowed his eyes.
This little beastman looked harmless, but he actually bullied Claire? He must be hiding something.
Not knowing what the two people were talking about behind her, Qu Lingyuan stood at the entrance of the training ground.
When Logar saw her out of the corner of his eye, he stopped training and said to the students in a deep voice, "Take a break."
He strode towards Qu Lingyuan and said softly, "Didn't I say you're not allowed to come to the training ground?"
He was actively trying to fall in love with this little orc. Eve was really nice, well-behaved and cute.
"I'll just stand at the door and watch, it's okay." Qu Lingyuan rubbed her hands excitedly when she saw him coming, still speaking in her usual soft voice.
Logar bent down and could barely hear what she was saying.
Rick walked towards the training ground. He was now in the third grade and was a student under Logar.
Before, Chris didn't know Rick was here. When she saw him respectfully calling Logar Teacher, her face immediately turned pale.
It was the first time that she agreed with Qu Lingyuan.
Is this considered better?
Rick's eyes darkened when he saw Qu Lingyuan standing next to Logar.
He didn't know the little orc's current identity, he only knew that Eve Albert bullied his woman.
So when they passed by each other, he bumped into Qu Lingyuan's shoulder heavily.
Male orcs are extremely strong, and no female orc can withstand such a collision, let alone the extremely delicate Qu Lingyuan.
Sitting down on the ground, Qu Lingyuan burst into tears in pain.
"I'm so sorry." Rick's apology was very nonchalant, and his tone sounded as if he was saying "You deserve it."
Chris smiled. This idiot son of a rich man wasn't that bad after all. At least he could help her deal with that little brat from Albert's family.
Logar had never helped her deal with anyone before.
This was the second time Qu Lingyuan was injured in the training ground. She endured the pain and was picked up from the ground by Logar.
"How is it? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Logar looked at her worriedly.
"Probably... not necessary." Qu Lingyuan shook her head with tears in her eyes.
The bones were not broken, but the skin was bruised and purple and he definitely couldn't escape.
"Wait for me." A strange look flashed in Logar's eyes, and he placed her on the only chair outside the training ground.
Back at the training ground, Logar clapped his hands at the students and said, "Rest time is over."
Everyone returned to the venue, and Rick stood obediently in the crowd.
He had just seen how nervous Teacher Dottie was about Eve Albert, and he felt a little uneasy. He just hoped that Teacher Dottie didn't realize that he did it on purpose.
But his actions and tone just now almost made the word "intentional" written on his forehead.
Logar's cold gaze swept across the students and stayed on Rick for a second.
"Next, I'll demonstrate some fighting moves for everyone." His tone was filled with danger, making everyone hold their breath. "You, come and demonstrate with me."
Rick looked at Logar blankly and pointed at his nose: "Me...me?"
"Yes." Logar smiled and waved to him.
Rick walked out of the team nervously and stood in front of Logar.
Pushing aside the hair that was covering his eyes, Logar said lazily: "Hit me."
"Huh?" Rick was confused.
"Hit me!" Logar repeated with a frown.
“…”
Rick raised his fist, gathered strength, and punched him hard.
With his eyes narrowed, Logar raised his arm and easily blocked the attack. He then grabbed his arm, turned his back, and slammed him onto the hard floor.
"Cough cough..." Rick was knocked unconscious and lay on the ground.
If he hadn't been able to move, he might have thought his back was broken.
The students were all silent as they watched.
Teacher Dottie is really fierce today...
Logar turned his head and winked at Qu Lingyuan who was sitting at the door.
Qu Lingyuan happily drew circles with her tail and gave him a sweet smile in return.
Chris was so angry that her internal organs were dislocated.
I just thought Rick was pretty good, but then Logar gave me such a slap in the face.
Rick was abused badly throughout the entire class. His bones ached all over his body, but he was not injured.
