Chapter 1126 The Prospective Son-in-Law
Chapter 1126 The Prospective Son-in-Law
"Dizzy!"
Upon hearing Mercer's words, Qin Zhong was speechless for a moment, then said helplessly, "I'm here today to see your father and the Pope. I've made preparations for stealing the formula, and we'll begin the operation in the next couple of days. After I steal the virus cure and the formula, I will leave the United States for a long time, and may not return..."
"What? You're leaving the US?"
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, Mercer disregarded her shyness and reached out her fair, jade-like arm to grab Qin Zhong tightly, asking anxiously, "What will I do if you leave?"
"This……"
Hearing Moses's words, Qin Zhong patted her head and said with a smile, "While I'm away, you stay by His Highness King Arthur's side and train your superpowers. I'll come find you after I've settled things back home!"
"Do not……"
Hearing Qin Zhong's words, Messer shook his head firmly, "I don't need to stay by my father's side. In terms of safety, your combat strength is no less than my father's. I believe you can protect my safety!"
"But……"
Hearing Messer's words, Qin Zhong had a headache. If he took Messer back like this, how would he explain it to his women and his parents?
Besides, given Mercer's proud and arrogant personality, he had already considered the consequences of bringing Mercer back, in case she couldn't get along with her parents and there were misunderstandings due to the language barrier.
"No buts! If you don't take me, I'll go by myself!"
Mercer interrupted Qin Zhong, saying resolutely, "You know me, I mean what I say!"
"Alright, alright, let's discuss this again, okay?" Looking at Mercer's determined expression, Qin Zhong shook his head helplessly.
To be honest, he was really worried about her leaving the US to find him alone. What if something happened to her? Regardless of whether he would regret it for the rest of his life.
King Arthur's wrath alone would be enough to give him a hard time, not to mention that King Arthur represents more than just himself!
"Hmph, what's there to discuss? I've made my decision!"
When it came to her own happiness, Mercer's pride kicked in again. She shook her head dismissively and hid under the blanket once more, playing her uncooperative and uncommunicative game with Qin Chong.
"Boom boom boom!"
Just as Qin Zhong was worrying about how to persuade Messer, a gentle knock suddenly sounded at the door.
Then, King Arthur's deep, resonant voice came in: "My little princess, I heard from Monray that Qin has arrived. Is he here with you?"
"Ah, Father, he is indeed here..."
Upon hearing King Arthur's words, Moses poked his head out from under the blanket and said somewhat flusteredly, "You can't come in now, I still have to talk to him!"
"Hehe, what is it that you can't let me hear?" Upon hearing Moses's words, King Arthur smiled, pushed open the door, and entered the room.
The scene in the room instantly darkened his expression.
Anyone would be upset to see their daughter half-naked, hiding under a blanket, with a man sitting next to her.
"Your Majesty King Arthur... I'll tell you it's a misunderstanding... Will you believe me?"
Looking at King Arthur's gloomy face, Qin Zhong couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He hadn't done anything, but now it seemed like he had done everything.
Helpless, Qin Zhong had no choice but to turn his pleading gaze to Mercer, but Mercer was blushing and hiding under the blanket, not uttering a sound.
"Oh, is it a misunderstanding?"
Seeing his beloved daughter hiding under the blanket and Qin Zhong's helpless expression, King Arthur's face darkened further. He snorted angrily, turned around, and walked straight out the door.
At the same time, his cold voice rang out: "Come with me!"
……
"Oh, Mercer, you've really ruined me!"
Watching King Arthur walk away, Qin Zhong shook his head helplessly, stood up, and followed King Arthur outside.
At this moment, Qin Zhong's feelings were extremely complicated. Even though his combat power had completely overwhelmed King Arthur after advancing to level six, he was still a little apprehensive.
There's no way around it; I'm afraid all prospective sons-in-law in the world will naturally be half a head shorter than their fathers-in-law!
"Your Highness King Arthur, you have returned to your room and are waiting for you!"
As soon as Qin Zhong stepped outside, he saw Knight Kesen. At that moment, Knight Kesen also had a wry smile on his face. It seemed that he, as the gatekeeper, had also been scolded by King Arthur.
Seeing Qin Chong come out, he quickly grabbed Qin Chong, pointed him in a direction, and whispered, "His Highness King Arthur values the princess very much. Be careful later. Even if he scolds you, don't talk back. After all, considering how you treated his daughter, it's good that he didn't lay a hand on you."
"I feel so wronged!"
Looking at the sympathetic expression on Knight Kayson's face, Qin Zhong felt that he was more wronged than Dou E at this moment.
But so what? He still had to face what he had to face. So, Qin Zhong could only give Knight Kesen a bitter smile, and then took heavy steps, as if walking to the execution ground, toward King Arthur's room.
"Phew, when I go in, will King Arthur give me a good beating?"
When Qin Chong arrived at King Arthur's room, he looked at the empty doorway and couldn't help but shiver, secretly wondering what extreme thing King Arthur might do to him.
"come in……"
Qin Chong had barely stood at the door when King Arthur's cold voice came from inside. Hearing King Arthur's voice, Qin Chong swallowed hard, braced himself, opened the door, and walked inside.
"Your Highness King Arthur..."
Upon entering the room, Qin Zhong saw King Arthur sitting on the sofa with a blank expression.
Looking at King Arthur's cold eyes and his golden hair like a lion's mane, Qin Zhong gave an awkward smile and then weakly greeted him.
"kindness!"
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, King Arthur nodded slightly, then stared at Qin Zhong without saying a word.
Looking into King Arthur's eyes, which seemed to be fixed on him like a predator eyeing its prey, Qin Chong suddenly felt a sense of urgency, as if someone had pierced his soul.
This extremely oppressive feeling made Qin Zhong very uncomfortable. He could only take a small breath, look away, and not dare to meet King Arthur's eyes.
"Qin, tell me, do you truly love Mercer?"
Just as Qin Zhong was about to lose his temper in this awkward atmosphere, King Arthur suddenly let out a long breath, then stared at Qin Zhong and asked with a serious expression, "Don't try to deceive me, young man. I can tell whether you're telling the truth or not just by listening."
"Do I really like Moses?" Upon hearing King Arthur's words, Qin Zhong was taken aback at first, and then fell into deep thought.
Yes, does he really like Mercer?
He remembered how he had tried every possible way to get rid of Messer back then, but how did things turn out like this?
Soon, Qin Chong recalled everything that had happened between him and Messer.
From his unexpected first meeting with Mercer, to Mercer's impulsive decision to become his apprentice, to the little princess's stubborn insistence, and the misunderstanding that occurred between them high in the sky.
Scene after scene flashed before Qin Zhong's eyes like a slideshow.
Only when the scene froze on the moment when Moses shielded him from the white wolf's attack did Qin Zhong slowly open his eyes, look at King Arthur, and say with a serious and earnest expression, "Yes, I like Moses!"
