The problem at Immortal Lake was not something that could be resolved in a short period of time. It was no surprise that Shaun wanted to find Uehara Yumi or Yumi Kaner first before entering the barrier.
Before that, the new “Lord of the World” would naturally continue to enjoy his noble status.
Lota was the woman whom Shaun had lusted after for more than 10 years. After grooming her for so long, he planned to wait for her to become an adult before having her.
He never expected Jordan to ruin his plans.
Now that Jordan was dead, no one in the world could stop him from getting Lota.
Shaun flew to Switzerland with the Rong family subordinates. Mid-way, he made a pitstop to buy some gifts. After all, Lota’s parents were still alive. He had to buy some gifts for his future parents-in-law as a sign of respect.
When they reached the castle, Shaun looked at the place where he had lived for more than 10 years and couldn’t help feeling emotional.
‘When I was forced to leave this place, I thought it would be the beginning of a wretched, lonely life. I didn’t expect Jordan to indirectly aid in achieving what I have today!’
With a happy smile, Shaun brought Lee Su-ji and the servants to the castle’s VIP hall.
When Tom Schmid heard about the Rong family’s visit, he was extremely excited and dressed up to welcome them.
“Chairman Rong, long time no see. Welcome.”
Tom still didn’t know that Shaun and Rong Bailun had swapped minds. He thought that the person in front of him was Rong Bailun. In addition, after learning that Rong Huangde had faked his death, this made the Rong family even more unfathomable to the rest. The Rong family was still the leader of all the secret families. Tom respected the Rongs very much.
Shaun shook hands with Tom and smiled. “Tom, long time no see. You look well, haha.”
No one knew Tom’s body better than Shaun. Over the past decade or so, Shaun had controlled the Schmid couple.
Now, Shaun behaved in a friendly manner toward Tom, unlike in the past when he was more domineering and forceful. In the past, Shaun had no choice but to use coercion. But now that he was truly powerful, there was no need to use threats or force.
With the power of the Rong family, Tom did not dare to disobey Shaun.
Tom asked Shaun to sit down and asked, “Chairman Rong, what would you like to drink?”
Shaun didn’t stand on ceremony. “Your most premium tea. There’s a 100-acre tea garden in the north of the castle. The tea here is not inferior to anywhere else.”
Tom laughed out loud. “Chairman Rong is indeed an expert. You even know that we have tea here. Someone, brew a pot of our top-grade tea for Chairman Rong immediately.”
Shaun smiled. Of course he knew. After all, he had planted the tea garden himself. It would be strange if he didn’t know.
“Where’s Lota?”
Tom replied, “Oh, she should be in the technology laboratory. I’ve already asked her to come.”
Shaun nodded.
When Tom saw that Shaun had brought a few large elaborately-wrapped boxes, he couldn’t help asking, “Chairman Rong, why the sudden visit today?”
Shaun smiled. “I’m here to propose marriage.”
“Su-ji, present the gifts.”
“Yes!”
Su-ji opened all the large boxes, but they were not filled with gold or precious stones. They were all secret families and were as rich as a country. It would be too vulgar to give such things.
Shaun’s gifts were all technology-related. There were AI robots, clothes with healing functions, and some new weapons.
“There are also two very exquisite flying cars. I’ve parked them outside.”
When Tom saw this, he was also surprised. He knew very well that the Rong family’s technological strength far exceeded that of the Schmid family.
The Schmid family only had some achievements in the quantum invisibility cloak technology, but the Rong family had developed extensively in all aspects. They were very powerful in all areas, including the quantum invisibility cloak technology that the Schmid family was good at.
Tom said, “Marriage? Actually, I do hope to see Lota and Bingshao get married. In the entire world, only your son is compatible with our Lota. Unfortunately, I heard that Bingshao was killed by Deity Jordan. Is he not dead?”
Shaun said, “Sigh, Bingshao is dead. That b*stard Jordan killed my beloved son, the only descendant of our family! He’s simply lawless!”
Jordan was the savior of the Schmid family. Tom did not dare to say anything bad about him.
Tom said, “Since Bingshao is dead, who are you proposing marriage for? Do you have an illegitimate son?”
Shaun smiled. “Tom, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not proposing on behalf of anyone. I’m proposing marriage for myself! I want to marry your daughter, Lota!”
“What?”
Tom was stunned!
Rong Bailun and Tom were from the same generation. Actually, Rong Bailun was even older than Tom. Rong Bailun was already so old, yet he wanted to marry Tom’s daughter?
Shaun patted Tom’s shoulder kindly and said, “Tom, your family has been in a nightmare-like predicament for more than a decade. Don’t worry, when we become in-laws, no one will dare to bully you again!”
Tom naturally wanted to become in-laws with the Rong family, but…
Tom was in a dilemma. “Chairman Rong, there’s a huge age gap between you and Lota. Moreover, she has always preferred young men. I’m afraid she won’t agree.”
Shaun said, “How can that be? Lota is now the head of the Schmid family. For the sake of the family’s interests, even if she’s unwilling, she should agree to be my woman. Tom, as her father, you just have to persuade her…”
At this moment, a beautiful girl with a proud figure walked in.
It was Lota!
Because it was her own house, Lota did not deliberately dress up. If she went out, she would deliberately dress more maturely. After all, she was now the head of the Schmid family, so she had to appear more mature.
However, she was actually a little girl who had just reached adulthood. She was not that mature. As such, her home outfits were very girly.
When Lota saw Shaun, she grew very angry. “Shaun, I won’t agree to marry you. Stop dreaming!”
Shaun and Tom were shocked.
“‘She actually knows my identity…’
Shaun was surprised.
Lota and Jordan were very close. Before Jordan traveled back in time, he had already told her this secret.
However, Lota had yet to tell her parents.
Tom asked curiously, “Lota, who are you calling Shaun?”
Lota pointed at Shaun and said, “Dad, he’s Shaun. He switched minds with Rong Bailun. He’s the demon who imprisoned our family for more than 10 years!”
