A few days later, a piece of news spread in Keen Territory.

It was said that Creek Keen had contacted some suitors who he felt were relatively weak and would not pose a great threat to the Keen family, and was preparing to hold a cocktail party to let these suitors meet Miss Anna Keen and exchange ideas to finalize the final engagement.

This was just a rumor, but it was spread with a nose and eyes, and it was very realistic. Many suitors who got the news hurriedly sent people to investigate, and indeed found a lot of clues.

So, these people who were sent out to investigate hurriedly rushed back to report, and the suitors who got the news contacted each other, and each other's news confirmed each other, which further proved this matter.

So, the suitors couldn't help but discuss how to deal with it.

In a temporary tent outside Keen City, Connor Griffin from the Griffin Principality listened to the report of his subordinates, his face turned cold, and the good mood that had just been vented was gone.

He sat on a chair made of calming fragrant wood, with the Ice Tear Pearl, a treasure from the deep sea, hanging on his body, but the two treasures that could calm his mind and calm his heart could not suppress the anger and tyranny that rose from the bottom of his heart.

With a slight force on his feet, the woman who was used as a foot pad made a sound of bones breaking. This woman was the result of his hunting this morning, and he wanted to keep it for the evening, but now it was impossible.

Perhaps for this woman, being able to die so easily is also a relatively happy thing, but Connor's mood became worse and worse, and his eyes became more and more violent.

"That guy named Creek dared not to send me an invitation letter?" He asked coldly: "Who gave him the courage?"

No one answered. The subordinates knew the temper of this uncle. If they answered at this time, they would easily become the target of his anger.

Life is so precious, no one wants to die here in a muddle.

Connor Griffin was the most prestigious of the suitors. He was the younger brother of the Grand Duke of the Griffin Principality. Although the Grand Duke had four sons, he was still one of the legal heirs of a country. With his status, marrying a mere female baroness was really a great honor.

But in fact, Connor did not even send out an official note. According to the official information of Keen County, this tent belonged to a businessman named "William".

The reason why he came so secretly was mainly because Connor had a bad reputation.

The prince of the Griffin Principality had a series of vicious nicknames such as "Griffin's Beast", "Evil Wolf", and "Man-Eater", and... if it weren't for his noble status, these nicknames would be even more unpleasant.

His mother was a spy from the Orc Empire. She was a half-orc with werewolf blood. When she disguised herself as a maid and sneaked into the court, she was discovered and captured by the previous Grand Duke of Griffin. Ordinarily, the spy should have been executed, but the former Grand Duke of Griffin was just tired of playing with human women at the time and was quite interested in the exotic female werewolf, so he made an exception and spared her life.

A few months later, which is not suitable for detailed discussion, the woman became pregnant. But she did not give in, but kept resisting. Later, the former Grand Duke of Griffin made her completely unable to resist, so she cursed, cursed constantly, cursed the former Grand Duke of Griffin, and cursed the child.

Finally, in order to allow the child to be born smoothly, the former Grand Duke of Griffin cut open the body of the female werewolf who had been tired of playing, and let the evil wizard who specialized in necromancy use a gloomy and terrifying spell to infuse all the vitality of the woman into the premature baby, so that the child could survive and was named Connor.

Connor has a good talent for martial arts. At present, he is nearly 40 years old and is already a high-level warrior. He has also made some achievements in magic and has advanced to become a rare magic swordsman. It's just that his character is violent and vicious. He often gets angry because of trivial matters and does all kinds of brutal behaviors.

At first, the former Griffin Duke studied the child's behavior with great interest, but when he focused his main energy on seeking independence, he lost interest in Connor. After his death, his eldest son, the current Griffin Duke, succeeded to the throne. The current Griffin Duke had no good feelings for his cruel and tyrannical brother, and because of his busy political affairs, he simply ignored Connor and let him fend for himself.

If this continues, Connor will probably be a marginal figure in the royal family for his entire life, with money and status, but no actual power, and probably not even a fiefdom. Unless he can break through to the legendary realm, this will be the end of his life.

Connor certainly didn't want to go on like this, so when he heard that the Baron of Keane, the "Thunder Pearl", was seeking a marriage, he became interested.

With his status and position, there is certainly no problem in marrying a mere baron. No matter how bad his reputation is, it does not undermine his status as the Prince of the Griffin Duchy. But Connor knew that his reputation was too bad. If he came to propose to her, he would most likely be rejected. So he decided to hide his identity and stay there, and then suddenly reveal his identity in public at the critical moment, and force Anna Keen to marry him.

As for when that "critical moment" would be? Would it go smoothly at that time? These questions were a bit too profound for him. He didn't want to pay attention to them, and he was too lazy to pay attention to them.

But this definitely does not mean that he is a fool. Crick Keene hid the truth from most of the suitors and secretly contacted the suitors who had no background to hold a cocktail party. He clearly wanted to take advantage of the fact that everyone had not discussed the matter directly. Set it down to avoid long nights and dreams - of course, it may be that the sick man is already dying and has to hurry up and get something big done.

Connor didn't bother to think carefully about Crick Keene's thoughts. What he was thinking about now was, how to determine the time and place of the reception?

As long as the time and place of the reception are determined, he can just barge in when the time comes. What can a mere baron do to him?

It would be fine if that Crick Keen knew the truth. If he didn't, he would just snatch the little girl named Anna away and come back to inherit the title after giving birth to a child. Simple and clear!

This is what the "ferocious beast" came up with.

On the other side, Duluk Richie from the Dhaka Business Alliance remained calm after hearing the news. The son of a big businessman was still eating with a smile, and even his hands holding the knife and fork were shaking. Not a single tremor.

"As expected, he is indeed a person who came back alive from the battlefield of 'The Day the Sun Goes Out'. He can see clearly and make decisions!" After eating, he wiped his mouth slowly, washed his face and hands, and felt refreshed. It's refreshing to drink tea after dinner with an elegant temperament that is completely opposite to that bloated appearance.

He admired Crick's decision, but he couldn't accept it.

The reason is simple, he didn't get invited either.

Although he knew that he would definitely not get the invitation - because he would definitely invade the Keen family after getting married, and he had even made plans to kill Anna after she gave birth to the child. In fact, this is what happened here The Qi family had a pre-planned plan - but when it became a fact, he was still very unhappy.

"Go and check carefully as to when and where the reception will be held. Don't worry about spending money." He said to a few of his capable subordinates. "After you find out, announce it to me and let everyone who comes to propose know it." ”

He paused and looked towards the north of the city with a smile, the camp that no one in the know was willing to approach.

"Especially over there."
