Scales Of The Dragon's Revenge

"Lux Arden! You, a useless person, want to marry my daughter? It's like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"

"Our family received an invitation from the Black Dragon Sentinel last night. We're about to soar to Success."

"Now, there are countless wealthy young men in the City who want to marry Seraphina. How could I let her marry a poor guy like you?" In the Eastport community, a middle-aged woman dressed up in a flashy manner blocked the groom who came to pick up the bride.

Her words instantly caused a sensation among the onlookers.

"Black Dragon Sentinel? That's the war god of my country, with great achievements that shake the heavens. The whole world would tremble three times if he stomped his foot."

"So many wealthy businessmen and tycoons want that invitation but can't get it. I didn't expect the Monroe family to get it. With the support of the Black Dragon Sentinel, the Monroe family is going to soar to success!"

"This guy is also pitiful. He encountered such a thing on his wedding day. He might not have the face to live in the future." The onlookers were discussing and pointing at Lux Arden.

Listening to the discussions, the best man next to Lux Arden was extremely angry.

He whispered, "Sentinel, why do you have to endure such humiliation? There's not only Seraphina in the world.." But Lux Arden waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Ten years ago, I suffered from eye disease and was abandoned by my family, wandering the streets of the Marlowe."

"It was Seraphina who gave me a bowl of Vegetables and a piece of clothing when I was about to die of hunger and cold,"

"Without her, there would be no Black Dragon Sentinel today!"

"I will spend my whole life repaying her kindness!" Unfortunately, the mighty Black Dragon Sentinel was constrained by the alliance of the Ten Kingdoms.

He had to lie low for three years, unable to reveal his identity or use any resources, reduced to a state of utter insignificance.

Thankfully, today was the last day of the Ten Kingdoms' alliance, and he could finally achieve his long-awaited goal.

He would repay the debt of his life, and avenge his family's grievances.

"Mom, why are you still talking to this poor guy! I'm about to marry into a wealthy family, why bother with this loser!" Suddenly, the beautiful figure of Seraphina appeared, interrupting Lux Arden's thoughts and stunning everyone.

The neighbors were all surprised.

They had watched this girl grow up, and she had always been just an ordinary person. But how had she become so beautiful in these past three years?

"Seraphina, stop messing around. Today is our wedding day," Lux Arden walked up with a smile.

But Seraphina pushed away his hand and looked at him with disdain.

"Who's messing around with you! Lux Arden, let me tell you, if it weren't for my friend Ava speaking highly of you these past three years, I would never have agreed to marry you."

"Now that I've received an invitation, I'm like a phoenix perched on a branch. Who knows, I might even become the wife of a sentinel."

"I advise you to give up on that idea and get lost while you can!" Seraphina was serious, and Lux Arden couldn't help but frown.

Years ago, due to his eye disease, he had only vaguely seen a half-phoenix-shaped jade pendant hanging from a woman's neck.

With this tiny clue, he had found its owner, Seraphina Monroe. But the three years of ridicule and today's scene made Lux Arden doubt everything.

Is this really the kind woman from back then?

But Lux Arden patiently explained, "Seraphina, I had someone deliver the invitation last night and wanted to surprise you today. Actually, I am the Black Dragon Sentinel."

Seraphina burst into laughter, "Hahaha, Lux Arden, you're really daring to say that!"

"Don't forget to take a look at yourself. You've been living off me for three years and can't even come up with a dowry of 300,000 dollars. You, a useless person, think you can be the Black Dragon Sentinel?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!" As the two argued, a stunning woman pushed through the crowd and angrily confronted Seraphina.

Smack!

Without hesitation, she slapped Seraphina across the face.

"Seraphina, you're so cruel. My sister just graduated from college and doesn't know much about the world, yet you tricked her into signing a loan guarantee contract for you!" Lux Arden immediately recognized Seraphina's best friend, Ava.

Without her help over the past three years, he would never have been able to pursue Seraphina.

Seraphina, holding her aching cheek, screamed, "Ava, are you crazy? How dare you hit me!" Ava was now in tears, sobbing, "How could you do this? Do you know that those people broke into my house and almost assaulted Salome?"

"She would rather die than comply and ended up jumping off the building. Now she's paralyzed from the waist down and can only sit in a wheelchair!" Seraphina was a little panicked after hearing this, but quickly regained her composure.

"That was the guarantee contract she signed. It's not my problem! She's already an adult and should take responsibility for her actions!"

"If anyone wants to find you, they should find Lux Arden. He's the one who borrowed the money!" Seraphina pointed at Lux Arden and distanced herself from the situation.

Lux Arden frowned.

The loan contract was clearly prepared by Monroe's family and forced onto him.

They claimed that if he didn't sign it, Seraphina wouldn't be allowed to marry him. But now, they were pushing all the responsibility onto him!

Ava glanced at Lux Arden, who was frowning, and knew that he had been tricked by Seraphina's family.

"It's all for your Monroe family! You involve two innocent people for money. Have you no shame?" Seraphina tore off her mask since she couldn't fool them anymore.

"So what if it is? Do you have any evidence to sue me? He borrowed the money, and your sister was ruined by the loan company. It's none of your business!" Ava was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Suddenly, Ava's phone rang.

"What? My mother fainted and is being rescued? I'm coming right away!" Ava lost interest in arguing with Seraphina and turned to leave.

However, Seraphina refused to let it go and said, "Wait! Don't say I'm not sentimental. Take this jade pendant and sell it to cure your mother's illness!"

"After this, we're even, and you're not allowed to come to me again!"

After saying that, she pulled the jade pendant from her neck and threw it at Ava's feet.

Ava picked up the jade pendant and said angrily, "This is my thing. What do you mean by being even? Seraphina, I will never let you go!"

At this moment, Lux Arden felt as if the sky had fallen on her head, and she stumbled.

That jade pendant was hers!

Ava was the one who saved her life back then!

"Seraphina, didn't you tell me that the jade pendant was yours?" Lux Arden asked sternly.

Seraphina received a slap in public and the neighbors heard about their family's ugly business, making her feel angry and uncomfortable.

Hearing Lux Arden's questioning her about such a trivial matter, she suddenly became furious.

"Didn't I come to get it because it's mine? Now even a useless person like you dares to talk to me like this!"

"And you, Ava, you hit me and want to leave just like that? There's no such cheap thing!" Seraphina caught up with Ava, who was turning around to leave, and slapped her in the face.

With a loud bang, Seraphina saw stars and fell to the ground.
