"Kid, I have to go do something important and won't be able to look after you anymore, so you can go down the mountain and roam around..."
"Remember, eighteen years ago, I made an engagement with the Lewis Family of River City. Be sure to go to the Lewis family and honor the engagement..."
"Oh yeah, these past few years, your five senior sisters have always asked me when you would come down the mountain. If you have time, remember to go see them, as they all miss you very much..."
"And, I created a huge international organization a few years ago. Since I won't be around, you're in charge of it now..."
"The last thing is about your own life. If you can't find someone who matches your innate pure yang body within three years, you're done for..."
On a highway going to River City.
Lionel Yeager sat in the back seat of a red Maserati President, looking at the scenery outside the window, thinking about the things Neal Koontz told him before he went down the mountain.
It's unknown what kind of important things Neal Koontz is doing that he left so urgently.
There are two women in the car. The driver is a young woman.
Sitting next to him is a mature woman.
The young woman has long hair down to her shoulders, a melon seed-shaped face, and wears a tailor-made beige professional suit that highlights her slender curves.
The mature woman has a bunch of black long hair tied back, a delicate oval face, a form-fitting black cheongsam, and a full and charming figure, like a ripe peach.
Both women's beauty and figure can be described as goddesses among goddesses.
Not long ago, he saved these two women from a group of robbers.
So, these two promised to give him a ride to River City.
He wondered how the beauty of his child bride, his fiancรฉ, compared to these two beauties.
At that time, the young woman driving said, "Mr., thank you for helping us just now. Otherwise, my aunt and I would have been in danger."
Lionel Yeager shook his head, "It was just a simple act; there's no need to thank me."
"Mr., my name is Julia Stewart. This is my aunt, Julie Stewart."
The young woman introduced herself and the mature woman, then asked, "What's your name?"
Lionel replied, "My name is Lionel Yeager."
"Mr. Yeager, are you going to River City to find a job?"
Julia asked, then added, "If you need to find a job, we can help arrange it for you."
"That's right. And if you don't have a place to live, we can help arrange that as well," Julie chimed in.
Considering Lionel's plain attire, the two women assumed he was going to River City to find work.
"I'm not going there to find a job," Lionel shook his head. "I'm going to River City to fulfill my engagement with Miss Cindy Lewis of the Lewis family."
"What?! Fulfilling an engagement with Miss Lewis Family?!"
Julia suddenly froze, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Julie also looked at him with a strange expression.
Though not as wealthy as the Stewart Family, the Lewis Family was still a third-class family in River City, considered part of the wealthy families.
It's hard to believe that this young man claimed to be going to the Lewis family to fulfill an engagement.
Seeing the strange look on the faces of both women, Lionel said, "You don't believe me?"
Neither Julia nor Julie responded, obviously disbelieving.
Lionel shrugged, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, everything I said is true."
Julia and Julie didn't ask any further, feeling that Lionel was just bragging.
Cindy Lewis was, after all, the young mistress of the Lewis Family.
And Lionel was just a plain and unsophisticated country boy.
The two didn't seem to be from the same world and would never have a connection, let alone have an engagement between them.
Along the way, Lionel chatted intermittently with the two women.
After more than an hour of driving, they finally arrived at the city center of River City.
But just at this moment, Julie suddenly clutched her chest, breathing rapidly, sweating coldly, and turning pale with evident pain.
"Aunt, what's wrong?"
Julia was startled and quickly pulled over to the side.
Julie weakly said, "Julia, I'm fine; it's just my old ailment acting up again. I'll get it checked out by a doctor when we get to the hospital later..."
