The War God's Homecoming
Chapter 375 A Marriage Proposal

Chapter 375 A Marriage Proposal

Alana Shelton was the eldest daughter of a prominent family in the capital city. Among the second-tier families in the city, the Shelton family held a slightly higher status.

In the capital city, the major families were divided into four levels based on their heritage and power, third-tier families, second-tier families, first-tier families, and super families. The Shelton family, a super family, belonged to a martial arts lineage, and while they primarily engaged in commerce today, the core members of this family were all martial artists who had started their training from a young age. Alana Shelton was no exception. According to Azure Dragon, her martial arts skills were impressive. Despite her young age, she had already reached the later stages of a Battle General.

The Shelton family was located in the eastern part of the city, not far from the SHADOW base. After a half-hour drive, Billy and his group arrived at the entrance of the Shelton estate.

"Hello, sir, may I ask who you're looking for?" a gatekeeper asked as they approached.

"Azure Dragon," the gatekeeper barely finished speaking when a melodious voice came from inside the estate.

Moments later, a graceful figure hurried out. She was beautiful, with an elegant figure, and exuded a youthful and lively charm. She was a classic beauty.

"Miss Alana!" Seeing her, the gatekeeper nodded respectfully.

"They are my friends. Let them in." Alana Shelton said as she walked alongside them.

"Alright, please wait a moment, Miss," the gatekeeper said and then turned to Billy's group. "Please come in."

"Thank you," Azure Dragon nodded.

"Alana!" As they entered the estate, Azure Dragon smiled at Alana, who had just reached their side. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"You and your friends arrived so quickly. I thought it would take a while." Alana said, revealing a pair of dimples. Without waiting for Azure Dragon's introduction, she turned to Billy and said, "If I'm guessing correctly, this must be Mr Gardner, right? Azure Dragon talks about you often!"

While speaking, she couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised. In Alana's eyes, Billy seemed to carry significant weight, and she felt a bit intimidated in his presence.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Shelton. Azure Dragon often mentions you too." Billy replied with a smile.

"You must be kidding, I knew it was a lie. Azure Dragon is as secretive as a clam, he rarely talks about me!" Alana Shelton responded with a smile.

Night Orchid chuckled and looked at Azure Dragon. "Azure Dragon, it seems like Alana is not very pleased with you. You should work on that!"

Alana Shelton stuck out her tongue playfully. Then, she turned to Night Orchid with a slightly exaggerated expression. "Who is this lady? Oh, she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen!"

"You sweet!" replied Night Orchid with a smile. Afterwards, she extended her hand and said, "Let's formally introduce ourselves. I'm Night Orchid, you can call me Orchid."

"Oh, you're Night Orchid. Azure Dragon said he had a beautiful sister, and it turns out to be you!" Alana Shelton went in for a hug.

"Azure Dragon is lucky to know someone like you," Night Orchid commented, quite impressed with Alana.

"Thank you, Orchid!" Afterward, Alana looked at Stout and asked tentatively, "And who is this gentleman? You must be younger than me. What should I call you?" "Miss Shelton, just call me Stout." Stout grinned.

"Stout? What a strange name, but you are indeed quite plump. Maybe you should consider losing some weight."

"Ahem," Stout cleared his throat. "Alright..."

"I was just joking with you, Stout. Being a bit chubby has its charm too!" said Alana.

"Alana, is your father at home?" Azure Dragon asked as they walked deeper into the estate.

"He's in," Alana Shelton replied, her expression turning somewhat grim. "My father... he's entertaining some guests right now."

"What kind of guests?"

"Guests from the Garza family."

"The Garza family? The guy who has been bothering you?" Azure Dragon furrowed his brows. "Why is he here?"

"He came with his mother, and they're here to propose a marriage to me." Alana Shelton replied with a deep breath. "Azure Dragon, don't worry, I'll never agree."

"What's the Garza family's background?" Billy inquired, looking at Night Orchid.

"The Garza family is similar to the Shelton family, both are second-tier families. But I heard that the Garza family's matriarch is surnamed Greenwood!" Night Orchid, as the governor of the northern district, had some knowledge of the city's various families.

"Oh?" Billy raised an eyebrow. "A member of the Greenwood clan?"

The Greenwood family was one of the five Heaven-ranked clans in the capital city.

"Yea," Night Orchid nodded. "Although it's probably a distant branch."

"Interesting. Let's go take a look." Billy said with a faint smile.

"Mr Gardner, my father..." Alana Shelton sounded concerned.

"It's okay. We're just paying a visit to your father. Don't worry." Billy reassured her with another smile.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of a villa on the western side of the estate. They were about to enter when a group of people walked out of the house. Leading the way were a middle-aged man and woman. The man was Alana Shelton's father, Alger Shelton, while the woman was Helen Greenwood, the wife of the Garza family's head.

"Alana, where were you just now? I was looking for you everywhere," Andrew Garza, the eldest son of the Garza family, hurried over when he saw Billy's group.

"Dad!" Alana Shelton ignored him and turned to her father. "Azure Dragon brought his older brother and sister to visit you."

"Hmm?" Alger Shelton frowned slightly when he saw Azure Dragon. "Why are you here again?"

"Mr Shelton, I..." Azure Dragon began.

However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by Andrew Garza, who said, "Azure Dragon? I thought it was someone else! You came just in time. I'm officially notifying you that Alana will soon become my fiancée! From today onwards, I hope you won't bother her anymore, or else you'll face the consequences!"

"Andrew, you scoundrel! Who would want to be your fiancée? I'd rather die than marry you!" Alana Shelton exclaimed angrily.

"Alana, watch your words!" Alger Shelton furrowed his brow again.

"Dad!" Alana raised her voice again. "Andrew Garza is just a scumbag. He has at least four or five girlfriends. I'd rather die than marry him!"

"It seems like the Shelton family's upbringing could use some improvement." Said Helen Greenwood, adopting a condescending tone. "Why would Miss Shelton slander my son like this?"

"My daughter doesn't know any better. Please forgive her, Mrs Greenwood." Alger then turned to his daughter and said, "Alana, what's the matter with you? Apologize to Mr Garza right away!" "Why should I apologize? I spoke the truth!" Alana replied loudly.

"Outrageous!" Alger raised his voice. "Apologize, NOW!"

"Mr Shelton, please don't be angry. I'm sure Alana misunderstood because she believed some false information." Andrew Garza said, his eyes flashing with anger.

Then, he looked at Azure Dragon and said, "Hey, did you slander me in front of Alana? I order you to kneel down and apologize to me right now, or..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Billy delivered a swift slap. In an instant, Andrew Garza fell to the ground, and two of his front teeth flew out.
