A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1241

Chapter 1241 Marriage

“Lady Jingle, we might have offered very good terms, but Peyton is known for his ruthlessness, so no one dares to stand against him. Besides, he has Divine Beast Sect on his back, so no one dares to challenge him,” another elder explained.

“I don’t believe no one will stand up for us if I use myself as the reward,” Cecilia snapped, the frown on her brows deepening.

The elders lowered their heads in silence.

“Change the terms on the announcement. I will marry anyone who takes down Peyton,” Cecilia remarked, clenching her jaw.

“Lady Jingle! This cannot be! You can’t be the head of the clan anymore if you marry! This is our tradition!” an elder quickly advised.

The elders could not say otherwise because they knew that was their only way out in the face of Peyton, an enemy with the ability equivalent to a Semi Martial Arts Marquis.

Cecilia was an Eighth Level Martial Arts Grandmaster, so she was no match for Peyton.

Moreover, that man had got the support of Divine Beast Sect.

Their prospects were grim because, at that rate, they were not even sure if anyone would take up the charge, even when Cecilia had put herself up as a reward.

Two days went by without any news.

No one came forward, although Cecilia had promised to marry anyone who would face Peyton. Divine Beast Sect was the strongest in the South, and no one had the gut to provoke them.

To Cecilia, this was the last chance of survival for her people, although it meant that she would have to marry herself off.

All she could pray for was that the man who came forth was someone she found attractive instead of an old and frail man.

When she came to the gate, she saw a man with a navy blue top and a pair of sunglasses.

Cecilia heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that it was a young man.

Upon seeing Cecilia at the gate, the man took down his sunglasses, and his jaw dropped.

His reaction elicited a change in color on Cecilia’s face. Her impression of him dropped instantly.
