524: Chapter 524 Stop dreaming, she's not your wife yet!

Karl was stunned on the spot upon hearing this.

He knew what a Cultivator was.

As one of the three major financial magnates in the USA, the Gates Family kept many experts under their command, including Cultivators.

Those people could indeed send someone flying with a slap, punch through walls, or even be impervious to blades and guns.

But the problem was...

Which of those Cultivators hadn't practiced for decades?

Which of them wasn't an old monster in their seventies or eighties?

This young man in front of him was twenty-five at most, and he was actually a Cultivator too?

Could it be that Cultivators really were everywhere on the streets of the Dragon Country?

Karl's mouth twitched, and he felt completely unwell.

The next second.

He was just about to speak.

But Euphemia stood up from her plastic stool and said coldly, "Karl, have you had enough of your scene?"

"A scene?"

Karl frowned, "Princess, I'm doing this out of concern for you!"

"Concern?" Euphemia sneered, "Are you concerned about me, or the throne behind me?"

Karl's expression changed slightly.

Euphemia didn't give him a chance to defend himself and continued, "Karl, I'm officially telling you now, don't ever appear in front of me again."

"What do you mean?" Karl clenched his fists.

"Do you not understand my words?"

Euphemia's voice was as cold as ice, "I don't like you. I didn't like you before, I don't like you now, and I won't like you in the future."

Karl took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and softened his tone slightly.

"Mia, I admit my attitude just now was a bit extreme, but I'm truly doing this for your own good."

"For my own good?" Euphemia tilted her head, "Then tell me, how exactly are you doing this for my own good?"

Karl straightened his back and spoke with righteous indignation.

"You are the Princess of the Eagle Country and the future heir to the royal family. Your identity, status, and upbringing do not allow you to appear in a place like this."

"And they certainly don't allow you to sit with a group of Dragon Country people eating at a roadside stall."

"If word of this gets out, it won't just be your face that's lost, but the face of the Eagle Country's royal family!"

Hearing this, Euphemia smiled: "So... are you finished?"

Karl was taken aback.

"I'm finished."

"Then it's my turn to speak."

Euphemia took two steps forward, stood in front of Karl, looked up, and met his eyes.

"Karl, I'll tell you one last time."

"You should give up on this idea."

"It's impossible between us."

"Because..."

"I already have someone I like."

Karl's face darkened completely: "Who is it?"

Euphemia turned around and walked back to Ye Chen's side.

Then.

Under everyone's shocked, stunned, and bewildered expressions, she took Ye Chen's arm.

Her chin tilted up slightly, like a proud swan.

"Far away in the horizon, yet right before your eyes."

"It's him."

Karl's eyes widened, looking at Euphemia's hand holding Ye Chen's arm in disbelief, and the expression on his face gradually turned to fury.

"You like him? A Dragon Country person?"

Euphemia held Ye Chen's arm, her chin slightly raised, her blue eyes full of determination.

"That's right, I like him."

"When love comes, it can't be stopped."

Karl's face turned the color of pig liver, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

"You're crazy!"

"You are the Princess of the Eagle Country!"

"The future heir to the royal family!"

"How could you like a Dragon Country person? And one who's..."

"A Dragon Country person eating in a place like this?"

Euphemia looked disdainful.

"That So what??"

"Love knows no borders, no status, and no class."

"I like him, and that's enough."

Karl roared in uncontrollable rage: "The Queen will not agree! The centuries-old tradition of the Eagle Country's royal family will never allow a princess to marry a Dragon Country person! Give up on this idea!"

Hearing this, Euphemia smiled coldly.

"She won't agree?"

"So what?"

"Karl, do you know that if he hadn't saved me that night, I would be dead by now?"

"So..."

Euphemia took a deep breath and said something shocking, "If the Queen doesn't agree, I'll die right in front of her, as if returning my life to him!"

Karl's pupils constricted suddenly, and he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

"You... for a Dragon Country man, you would..."

"Die?"

Euphemia didn't answer, just looked at him quietly.

But that silence was more powerful than any answer.

Karl's face turned from pig liver color to deathly pale.

He never expected...

That Euphemia would actually give up her life for this man.

He had been pursuing Euphemia for three years.

Three years!

From the Eagle Country to the USA, from the USA to the Eagle Country, he had chased her across half the globe.

He gave her flowers, jewelry, limited-edition sports cars, and priceless works of art.

He even pleaded with his father to invest tens of billions of dollars in the Eagle Country just so he could see her a few more times.

But what was the result?

She hadn't even looked at him once.

Yet this Dragon Country man had just saved her life once, and she was willing to die for him?

Why???

Karl's chest felt like it was blocked by something, both heavy and painful.

It wasn't anger.

It was jealousy.

He turned his head abruptly, glaring at Ye Chen with bloodshot eyes, his voice full of hatred.

"You... who exactly are you?"

"Did you give Mia some kind of love potion?"

"Did you use some kind of evil technique? Some drug? Some hypnosis?"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, almost roaring.

"I'm telling you! No matter what means you use, I won't let you succeed!"

"Mia is the Princess of the Eagle Country; she cannot marry a Dragon Country person like you!"

"Give up on this idea!"

Ye Chen looked quite speechless.

"You're the one pursuing her, what the hell does that have to do with me?"

"I haven't even agreed to be with her, so why are you venting your pathetic rage on me?"

Hearing this, Karl's face turned green.

But before he could erupt.

Euphemia spoke up, her face showing no disappointment, only an endless desire to conquer.

"Even if you haven't agreed yet, it still won't change my determination."

"I will keep chasing you to the very end!"

Ye Chen rubbed the bridge of his nose and sighed: "Suit yourself."

The tone was very casual.

But this attitude, in Karl's eyes, became the straw that broke the camel's back.

He felt like a clown.

The woman he had painstakingly pursued for three years treated him with disdain.

Yet she was utterly devoted to this Dragon Country man, even though he completely ignored her.

And him?

He was the Second Young Master of the Gates Family!

One of the heirs to one of the three major financial magnates in the USA!

With over a hundred companies worldwide and total assets exceeding five hundred billion dollars!

What kind of woman couldn't he get?

But it was precisely this woman he couldn't have.

What was even more hateful was that she was actually something someone else didn't even want???

This disparity felt worse than being killed.

The veins on Karl's forehead throbbed, his fists clenched so tightly his nails almost dug into his flesh.

"Kid! Who exactly are you? State your name!"

"I will definitely make you disappear from this world!"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure you want to make me disappear from the world?"

Killing intent leaked from Karl's eyes, his voice as cold as ice.

"According to an old saying from your Dragon Country..."

"The hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable!"

"Today, it's either you die or I live!"

After hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh: "Stop dreaming, she's not your wife yet."

Karl felt a sweetness in his chest as a metallic taste rose in his throat.

He forced himself to swallow it back down, glaring at Ye Chen with bloodshot eyes.

"Stop the fucking nonsense, state your name now!"

Ye Chen crossed his arms and said calmly: "I don't change my name when I'm out and about, I am Ye Chen!"

Karl's expression changed drastically: "What... what's your name???"

"Ye Chen."

Ye Chen repeated it, looking at him with a smile, "That Ye Chen from the Dragon Group."

Karl suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

Ye Chen.

This name was like a clap of thunder.

In the entire upper circles of Europe and America, there was no one who didn't know it.

Most importantly...

The Second Master of the Manluodi Family in the USA had been killed. The entire family was furious, yet they could do nothing to the perpetrator.

And the culprit who did this was actually right in front of him!!!

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Chen continued to ask with a smile.

"By the way..."

"Before you came to the Dragon Country, didn't you investigate who saved Euphemia?"

Karl's brain exploded with a buzz.

Yes, he hadn't investigated.

He had rushed over in a hurry, wanting to make his presence felt in front of Euphemia.

But he didn't expect a love rival to pop up, and for this rival to be such a terrifying existence.

What did he say just now?

That he wanted Ye Chen to disappear from this world?

That he wanted him to die?

What a joke!

This madman Ye Chen even dared to kill the Second Master of the Manluodi Family; wouldn't he himself be...

Karl's face turned from pale to green, and from green to ash-gray.

His body was as cold as a corpse that had been dead for several days, chilled to the bone.

The surroundings were so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Bai Shanshan began to gloat: "Oh, weren't you quite arrogant just now? Why have you turned into a mute?"

Although she was a police officer.

She also had a bad temper.

Whoever dared to provoke her, she wouldn't be polite.

If her sister hadn't been holding her back, she probably would have gone up and delivered a few slaps already!

It was simply too infuriating!

Karl bit his teeth and didn't say a word.

It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but that he didn't dare to.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

And that was... he had provoked the wrong person.
