I Am Really The Best Anti Hero In Another World!-System Of Anti Hero! novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32 - 32 - Family Suffering – Part 7

As I had said, Arthur rejected every engagement proposal, but while discarding them, he encountered one that, at least, piqued his curiosity.

"An engagement proposal from Chen Shiao?" he laughed, tossing the envelope aside without even reading its contents.

"...What is that old man thinking? Does he really believe I'd accept an engagement proposal from his son...? Or did he just do it to make fun of me?"

"Well, whatever: that marriage is never going to happen. Those people wouldn't do my daughter any good, and such a marriage would only ruin her life."

After voicing these thoughts just as he had with the other proposals, Arthur simply rejected them—crumpling the paper and tossing it into the fire. However, as he leafed through some more envelopes, he was once again surprised by another engagement proposal.

"What does this mean? Even the Xiao family is proposing an engagement for my daughter?" he said as he opened the letter out of curiosity.

"...Xiao Yun...? Isn't that the boy who reached the sixth stage of Qi Refinement even though he was only 11...? Isn't he just thirteen now? What tricks are these old foxes up to? First Chen Fang, and now Xiao Feng?"

"...They definitely have something in mind, but they won't succeed, because these marriages are simply impossible."

Arthur murmured these words as he crumpled the paper and threw it into the fire.

While distractedly walking through the city center, Sophia wondered to herself,

'Will I really be helping Dad if I get married...? But I don't like any of those guys—at least that's what I think... And Mom said I should marry the person I'm truly in love with... although, until now, I don't even really understand what that means...'

After these thoughts, Sophia continued wandering aimlessly through the bustling city streets. During her stroll, she noticed something rather unsettling: everywhere she went, she felt as if she was being watched—not by one or two people, but by many. That feeling made her very uncomfortable, especially since she couldn't understand why.
