In the end, Dustin entered an antique study at Christopher’s invitation. After they were served coffee, they started chatting.
“Kid, it’s been ten years, hasn’t it? You look like a completely new person compared to back then!” Christopher looked him up and down in astonishment.
Ten years ago, Dustin was known as Dragonmarsh’s number-one talent. He was young, arrogant, and rebellious. But today, he had transformed into a reserved man, hiding his abilities and talent.
“Ten years have passed, and you are still as dignified and graceful as ever,” Dustin complimented. “I’m getting old. I’m not as imposing as I used to be.” Christopher shook his head with a smile.
“Kid, I don’t think you came because you missed me. Do you have something to discuss?”
“To be honest, I’m here to visit you. But I’m also here to ask for a favor,” Dustin went straight to the point. He even placed a gift he had prepared on the table as he spoke.
“Oh? What is it?” Christopher sipped on his coffee as he smiled. “I heard someone had sent you a Cherusia as a gift. This item is very important to me.
“I hope you can let me have it, and I would willingly pay a high price for it,” Dustin said respectfully.
“The Cherusia?” Christopher raised an eyebrow slightly. He smiled. “You have quite the network. But this precious treasure is rare. What do you plan on exchanging it with?”
“General Murray, whatever you need, just let me know,” Dustin responded. “Kid, are you married yet?” Christopher asked with a smile.
“I was married, but I’m divorced now,” Dustin found his question strange, but he replied truthfully.
“That’s great! It’s great that you’re divorced!” Christopher smiled as he stroked his beard. “So, what do you think about Sheila?”
“Sheila?” Dustin was surprised.
“She’s a kind woman with a gentle heart. She is also very loyal to her friends.” “I’m happy to hear that,” Christopher said, still smiling.
“Both of you are outstanding, and you like each other. Why don’t we decide on the date of your marriage now so that I can greet my great-grandchild sooner?
“What?” Dustin almost spat out the coffee he had just drank. He exclaimed, “General Murray, you’re joking… right?
“This is an important matter. I would never joke about this,” Christopher said earnestly. “General Murray, you must have misunderstood. I don’t have any romantic feelings for Sheila. I think of her as a younger sister,” Dustin explained, perplexed.
They were a total mismatch. How did they end up on this topic? “Kid, do you think Sheila is not good enough for you?” Christopher’s smile dropped.
“General Murray, please don’t misunderstand. I already have a girlfriend, and we have a great relationship. “As for Sheila, since she’s your granddaughter, she deserves better,” Dustin clarified.
“So, you don’t like Sheila?” Christopher frowned slightly. “Sheila is a great woman, but I only see her as a sister.” Dustin shook his head.
“Very well. I can’t force these matters. She’s only a sister if you say so.” Christopher sighed in regret. He knew Sheila had feelings for Dustin and considered pairing them up. way, he would also get himself an outstanding grandson-in-law. That But fate had other plans.
“Thank you for understanding.” Dustin was feeling embarrassed. He had come seeking help, but he ended up unintentionally offending the General. Naturally, he felt bad.
“Alright, enough with the pleasantries. You’re here for the Cherusia, right? I’ll have someone fetch it for you.” Christopher was straight forward and gestured to a helper at the door.
