Chapter 73: 73 The Mayor's Test

73 The Mayor’s Test

In the photograph, his grandfather looked to be in high spirits, his black hair looking suave.

Compared to the aged appearance in his memory, Shen Fei could not help but feel a little strange, but he also felt that it was a novel feeling.

“Yes, you look exactly like your grandfather when he was young.” At this point, the mayor looked reminiscently at the surrounding photographs. “What a pity that things have changed.”

The mayor gave a small sigh and looked away from the photographs.

“However, I’m not here to reminisce about an old friend. I have something more important to discuss with you.” The mayor looked at Shen Fei with a sharp gaze. “I hope you can answer this question properly, because this matter is very important to both you and me.”

“Go ahead.” Shen Fei respectfully nodded his head.

The mayor raised his head and looked at Shen Fei. His eyes were extremely serious. “I shall ask you: What do you think of my daughter, Aloy?”

His eyes were like an eagle’s as he stared at Shen Fei. “Tell me the truth. If you dare lie to me, I’ll make sure you won’t be able to return home!”

At this point, the mayor’s entire body surged with a powerful aura! This pressure made Shen Fei feel breathless for a moment.

Was there a need to be so nervous? Shen Fei’s back was covered in a layer of sweat as he looked at the mayor in front of him. Was he not just asking what he thought of Aloy? Why did he have to be so serious?

But more importantly, this seemed to be a question of life and death. At this, Shen Fei suddenly felt guilty.

Although he had a good impression of Aloy now, it was not to the point where he could talk about marrying her. After all, Aloy’s previous indifference toward him had indeed frustrated him. Moreover, the mayor had treated their Shen family in the same way before.

Even when the Shen family was in such a difficult situation, the mayor did not send help. The only help he had received was the funding for his studies at the beast tamer academy for the past few years.

If one had to talk about favorable impressions, Shen Fei really did not feel that much toward the Gelin family. But he definitely could not say this out loud!

“Answer me!” The mayor’s deep voice reverberated throughout the room.

Shen Fei solemnly lowered his head in front of the mayor. “I like Aloy very much. Although the Shen family has declined, I hope you can help us! I definitely won’t let Aloy down!”

The mayor raised his eyes and sized up Shen Fei. “Are your words true?”

Shen Fei firmly nodded his head. “I promise you, if I marry Aloy in the future, I will let her live a happy life.”

Shen Fei carefully considered his words. This promise could only be fulfilled after the wedding. Whether he and Aloy could successfully be together was another matter.

As for how he was going to treat her in the future… Unless he was willing to fulfill the engagement, their relationship would not last long.

But the sky was the limit, right? With his strength, it was really unnecessary to waste time on things like getting married and having children. Once he passes the state assessment, he would have enough strength to explore the outside world freely!

By then, even if Aloy wanted to stop him, she would not be able to.

However, there was one point that made Shen Fei extremely worried—the mayor before him. After all, as Aloy’s father, and the mayor of the entire city, he would definitely not just watch Shen Fei leave without doing anything.

Shen Fei was afraid that the mayor would come after him when the time came, and he did not have enough strength to stop him. If such a thing really happened, being forced to fulfill the engagement would be a personal tragedy for Shen Fei.

After hearing Shen Fei’s words, the mayor fell silent for a moment. He looked at Shen Fei. It was easy to make a promise with just a few words. However, it would be extremely difficult to put it into practice. To be honest, Edward himself still had a playful streak at this age.

Anyway, his daughter seemed to like him quite a bit, so he might as well give him a chance. When the time comes, if he dared run from the marriage, he would catch him, even if he had to fight him to the death!

Thinking up to here, the mayor looked at Shen Fei with a hint of scheming in his eyes. He then revealed a generous smile.

“Since you’ve already said so, let’s see how sincere you are. Take this.” The mayor raised his hand and threw a golden key into Shen Fei’s hand.

“What is this?” Shen Fei curiously looked at the key in his hand.

“I prepared this key just for you. I know that as a Beastmaster, you need to consume a large amount of resources to specially raise your own spirit beast. Seeing that your spirit beast is so powerful, I’m sure you’ve already spent most of the dowry you were given before.

“This key can lead you to my mansion’s treasury. If you need it, just take the resources from inside and report to my butler.”

“Then I’ll first thank you, Lord Mayor!” Shen Fei politely nodded at the mayor.

“Don’t thank me so quickly. Everything I’ve given you has a requirement!” The mayor smiled mysteriously. Right now, raising Shen Fei’s strength was equivalent to raising his own strength. He stood up and, with his back facing Shen Fei, said, “But I can’t tell you the specific requirements now. Because you’re not qualified to participate yet!”

The mayor turned to looked at Shen Fei then. His strength was indeed much stronger than the average person, but if one wished to be completely involved in his plan, they had to at least have the same strength as him.

In the earlier battle, although Edward had only caught a glimpse, he had already seen Shen Fei’s shortcomings.

“You have an extremely powerful dragon-type spirit beast. Indeed, with this spirit beast, you are much stronger than the regular Beastmasters. But I can also see that your experience in combat is not as abundant as mine.

“If I had such a powerful dragon-type spirit beast, I wouldn’t even need to spend a few minutes to completely kill my good-for-nothing brother. Compared to the level I want to reach, you’re still far from it!

“Hurry up and take the key I gave you. You can use any cultivation resources you want! However, this is only limited to before the state assessment!”

The mayor continued sternly, “In the future, as long as you can get first place in the state assessment, I will not only grant you this key, but also the cultivation resources that are not available in the mayor’s mansion! As long as it’s something you want, I’ll find a way to get it for you!”

“Many thanks, mayor!” Shen Fei gratefully nodded his head.

Just the various cultivation resources stored in the mayor’s mansion was enough!
