William smiled and so as Josh. Bonna recovered from what his father just said and push Josh inside the car and quickly sped up.
William heaved a sigh of relief, he knows that he can trust his future son-in-law. Amelia suddenly asked him. Seeing that his wife and daughter has a lot of question he signaled them to go inside.
"William what's gotten into you? How can you accept him just like that?" Amelia was angry at the moment but she knows that her husband might have a reason.
"Calm down mom I'm sure that dad has his own reasons" Trisha was curious too.
"Amelia I know you're not satisfied with him but it's not a matter of satisfaction. Let me ask you a question what do you think of him?"
"He's just a penniless man, he is handsome yes but looks is not enough"
"Really? Did you not notice anything at the party? Think about it" he stared deeply at his wife.
"He beat those 30 bodyguards but that's not enough to be outstanding. Even you dear, can do that"
"Yes I can but those bodyguards are not weak either. If he can beat them without breaking a sweat then his strength is comparable to mine"
"What?! But dear you are the best at your peers when it comes to business and martial arts here in our city. It is impossible for him to be at the same level as you"
Trisha is no better than her mother, she can't believe it either but she's also smart.
"Father, is that the reason why he has so heavy aura earlier?"
His father nodded and said "for now I can tell that he is comparable to me but I don't really know how strong he is. The reason why I want him is if we can make him stay in our family. His strength will definitely boost our families combat prowess and we might be able to beat the Douglas and Wade family"
"No! I still can't believe it. Give me a valid proof that he is as strong as you"
William fell into deep thoughts, her daughter and wife is patiently waiting for his response. "It's the gifts"
"The gifts? What's wrong with the gifts dad?"
"Yes didn't the old man bought those gifts?" Both Trisha and Amelia are confused.
"If it's about the dress, necklace, and bracelet. We can safely assume that father bought them but Father and I are a martial artist. Those pills are super rare and it rarely appears in the black market. Some sects and organizations will not sell that pills for any price because there's a very few people who can make those pills. Even with father's money and connections. He can't buy or even find those pills" William look at his daughter and wife to make sure they understand what he just said.
"But I received those pills and grandfather received it too. I even went to father to confirm my suspicions. I was correct, this gifts are from our future son-in-law. Father even told me that even if me, him, and all the fighters from our family were to fight Josh he will crush us. Father didn't tell me his identity because even he doesn't know what he's true identity. If I were to guess, a young man that is stronger than me and father, has an access to those rare pills. Then he comes from a powerful organization or maybe he is an heir to a powerful organization or sects. Considering he can just give away those rare pills that causes half a billion per pills"
The revelation made her daughter and wife tremble. They lose all their strength and fell on the sofa.
Amelia made a sudden realization "wait is that why the old man was really confident when he said that if Bonna marries that man we will win?"
William nodded.
"Father is that why grandma and grandpa was relieved when Bonna said she will marry him?"
William nodded and said "to tell you truth, father has broken through the peak stage of elite level, he is strong as those 3 powerful men and the north and south underground kings. I can feel my strength and aura rising. I estimate that I will have a breakthrough to peak of elite stage as well and our family can definitely destroy the Douglas and Wade family"
Both of them was silent,
"Then father if you're right and Josh comes from a powerful sect or organizations then it will be easy for him to crushed those families"
"Yes and our family will surely take over this city. Oh and by the way don't tell Bonna anything about what I told you. Let her get to know Josh and decide if she really wanted to continue this marriage" William firmly nodded. Amelia feeling complicated to the sudden turn of events. Her husband noticed it but he didn't say anything.
The three of them didn't say anything in the end and went to their company. Even though they are confident that they will win. They want to be sure to minimize the losses that will occur if the 2 great families attacked them.
-----------------
Bonna and Josh are both in the car. There's an awkward silence between them but Josh decided to break the silence.
"Uhm so where is this auction? and what are you planning to buy?"
"It's at the Oracle Theater and I'm not planning to buy anything. As dad told you we are against 2 S Rank families so we need to save every money that we can. I'm just here to build some connections maybe they are willing to join us"
"If you are at a disadvantage then how can you gain more allies? Some of them will surely take the side of the 2 families than you guys"
Josh look at Bonna's sad face and he instantly apologize. "I'm sorry I'm just-"
"No, you're right but we don't have a choice the 2 families will go to the auction as well. They will participate in the auction and try to win the bidding"
Suddenly Josh realized something. "I see they are trying to tell to everyone that they don't care about you and your alliance. They sending a message to everyone that nothing can threaten them in this City"
"Exactly that's why we have to go there even if we embarrassed ourselves. I'm sorry if you're dragged into this" Bonna glance at Josh. Looking at her apologetic and worried face. He reassures her.
"Don't worry, their over confidence will drag themselves into the muds"
"I hope so" she focused on driving again and doesn't pay any attention to him anymore. He knows that she didn't believe him. 'she probably think that I'm just bragging. Heh just watch silly girl'
