Regal Guard of Dragon

Chapter 866 Comfort of a Stranger

But he could easily feel that the girl's mood was very low, like a fallen flower that lost its charm.

But he did not know how to comfort her, so he quietly accompanied Chloe.

Finn was silent, and Chloe realized that she was getting a little too emotional. She lowered her head

and apologized, "I'm sorry."

Finn wanted to raise his hand to comfort the girl, but he put it down before he lifted it up. This was just

a stranger, and too much concern would only lead to misunderstanding.

"Nothing. Maybe there was something wrong with what I said that caused you so much pain."

Chloe shook her head. "No. I was just... thinking about some bad memories. It's my problem."

Then she stood up and wanted to leave. No one was willing to show their loss to others, let alone to a

stranger.

When she left, he was alone in the quiet garden.

Finn was about to get up when someone else approached.

Magnus walked up to Finn without a sword and dressed casually. "May I have a word with you?"

Magnus asked.

Finn sat down again. "We don't seem to know each other very well," he said.

But Magnus didn't care. He just wanted to talk to someone.

"I've been in a low mood lately." Finn wanted to leave when he saw that Magnus didn't respect him, but

hearing Magnus's words, he sat down again.

"I know something, but I can't change it or even tell anyone what I want to do."

Finn wanted to ask what it was, but he didn't. "You live in the Qian family. Is there something the Qian

family can't do?"

Magnus shook his head. "Maybe that's my biggest obstacle I have been practicing martial arts for 14

years, and since I was four years old, I have been using medicine liquid to wash myself. At that time, I

lived a painful life as I had to practice myself."

"This lasted for a whole year before I was qualified to practice martial arts of my family."

"Since you are practicing martial arts, you have to endure hardships. And now that you are at such a

high level. In addition to your talent, efforts are also important," said Finn.

But Magnus smiled wryly, "What's the use of it? I can do nothing."

The flowers fell on his shoulders and hair, but Magnus didn't care about it. There was a look of despair

in his eyes. He had his head down, seeming to be suffering deep sorrow.

Finn didn't know anything, so he couldn't say anything, just sitting there like an invisible man.

Magnus did not mind, but added, "She didn't think I know it, but how can I not know? The way she

looks at me and talks to me is enough to express her feelings."

"When I feel strange, I will naturally go to check it. When I knew the truth, I became crazy, crazy to get

her back immediately. But soon I calmed down. This is the Qian family."

Speaking of the Qian family, Magnus was depressed. It was like he was suppressed by a mountain and

he couldn't breathe.

"I hate myself for my cowardice. I've been practicing my sword skills all my life, but I can't use it to

protect the person I care about. What's the use of my practicing the skills?"

He threw his head back, and was surrounded by despair.

Finn didn't want to say anything, but looked at his pain, he finally said, "Are you still a man?"

Magnus looked up at Finn and said, "Of course I'm a man." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Then you should do what a man should do. What pain, despair, those are excuses. You don't care

about her and you only think for yourself. Stop making excuses for your selfishness. It's ridiculous."

Magnus stared at him angrily, his fists clenched, as if he was going to punch Finn if he continued to

mock him.

"You cannot let go of the Qian family's identity. You cannot let go of the comfortable life now. You dare

not to face the wind and rain that the Qian family has born for you."

Before he finished, Magnus rushed forward, grabbed Finn by the collar, and was about to hit him in the

face.

But Finn didn't fight back. Magnus couldn't win him, and if he had been on his guard, Magnus wouldn't

have even grabbed his collar.

Being seen through by Finn, Magnus had no courage left.

He slowly let go of Finn, sat back in his seat, and mumbled, "You're right."

He shook his head. "You're right. Selfish? Yes. But there was nothing I could do."

He was still miserable, and nothing could be changed.

Finn advised, "If you don't want to be so painful, then be selfish as you like. It won't change anything,

but at least you wouldn't have to be in agony."

Everyone would advise others to be a good man, but Finn was trying to persuade Magnus to be selfish,

and he didn't see a problem with that.

"It'd be better to change himself than to suffer and not change anything." thought Finn.

But Magnus looked at Finn with a sneer.

"You are a devil. You're bringing people down."

Finn was stunned and laughed, "Devil never exists. Devil only lives in everyone's heart. It just depends

on what you'll do."

"That's a good point."

Finn had no idea what Magnus was going to do. He left alone, taking the flowers that fell on him with

him.

After he met these two strange people, Finn didn't want to stay here anymore. He was afraid that there

would be other Qians nearby. It was not good to see someone so sad.

Back to his room, Cassius came to see him before dinner. They exchanged some polite formula and

then Cassius left.

The whole family was excited the next day. People had been busy with preparing the wedding

yesterday, and now the big letter day had come!

There were people coming and going everywhere, getting ready the red strings and the red carpet.

Everything was in place.

The guests had not yet arrived, so important figured hadn't shown up.

Finn, however, saw Cassius in the hall.

"Mr. Chen, did you sleep well last night?" Cassius asked.

Finn smiled. "Yes, I seldom had such a sound sleep. Thank you for your hospitality."

After a few more casual conversations, Finn realized that he didn't know who the new couple are. "May

I know who the couples are?" he asked.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you yesterday. They are a perfect match!" said Cassius with a smile.
