Chapter 598
This time, Radiant Island was ready to start a war. The combat forces were ready. Members of the Zhao clan and the places they lived had been investigated thoroughly. As long as Henry gave an order, all the people could enter the combat state in an instant.
"No need to hurry." Henry shook his head slightly. "This time, I need to clear some things first."
Henry thought about the ghost wedding carefully and also felt that the family that made a deal regarding Lam's engagement was not simple. Even though the society had made a progress and had gotten more developed, this family still respected some traditional values that were already forbidden. Henry wanted to make it clear why the other party did this.
Henry checked up on a lot of things about the ghost marriage yesterday. The reasons were different. One of the most important points that Henry valued was that long ago, the ghost marriage was treated as a means of sacrifice. The deceased and the living would be nailed into the coffin and buried together. It was extremely cruel. It was not until the modern time that it became better. Living people didn't have to die with them, but the process was also very horrible. They had to marry the dead and spend one night together.
The sacrifice story Henry read was more legendary, and its credibility was not high. But the recent things had made Henry silently overthrow his former atheism. In this world, there were really too many things that people didn't understand. Wasn't it the legendary immortal skill to walk in the air as he did?
While dealing with the Zhao clan, Henry had to figure out something about clans. After all, there was an enemy, the Li Family of Longxi, that he would contact sooner or later. Everything had to be figured out in advance.
Henry had already contacted Lam and her stepmother, and they would come directly to Meng Province.
There was no airport in Zhao County. The nearest airport was 120 kilometres away.
At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, a plane took off from Yinzhou and landed at the airport.
A middle-aged man was waiting at the departure building with a frown. When Lam and her stepmother came off the plane, the middle-aged man immediately walked up.
This middle-aged man's face was covered with traces of wind and frost. At first glance, it was obvious that he had suffered a lot.
"Dad!" When Lam saw the middle-aged man, she immediately ran over and gave him a hug.
This person was Lam's father, Marlon.
Marlon touched Lam's hair and his eyes could not help but shed tears, because he knew very well what his daughter did and why she came back this time. She came to marry a dead man! She would get married and become a widow on the same day.
"Marlon, why are you so sad?" Lam's stepmother came up.
Marlon shook his head and did not speak. He could not blame Lam's stepmother for this matter. If he did not owe so much money, Lam's stepmother would not accept the other party's request. Everything was because of him.
"It's all my fault!" The man in his fifties burst into tears.
"Dad, it's okay, it's okay." Lam patted her father's back and comforted him.
"Marlon, it's okay. This time, we have the help of a distinguished person!" Lam's stepmother said confidently, "The president of the Lins Group will take care of our Lam. He is a boss with a worth of ten billion yuan. He has a lot of connections!"
Hearing this, there was hope in Marlon's eyes, and then he shook his head gloomily. "So what if he has a great influence in Yinzhou? Don't forget, this is Zhao County. Everything is owned by Zhao!"
After Marlon finished his words, he unconsciously looked to the side. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Two strong men in black suits came over from the side and stood on both sides. They all looked cold. One of them said impatiently, "Now that they have got here, let's go!"
Marlon had been controlled by the Zhao clan for a long time. This time, all the Zhao clan members followed him when he came to pick them up.
When Lam's stepmother saw the two strong men, she panicked and asked Lam in a low voice, "Where is Henry?"
Lam's stepmother was unsure about Henry's absence.
"I have sent a message to my brother-in-law that we have arrived at the airport." Lam looked around and did not see Henry.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Another strong man in a suit scolded impatiently.
Marlon's body trembled unconsciously and he stepped forward.
Lam and her stepmother followed Marlon.
"Do you think that Henry will come?" Lam's stepmother looked around and said with some concern.
"Yes." Lam shook her head confidently. "If brother-in-law could not come, he would tell me."
"But this..." Lam's stepmother was a little shaken. After all, everyone knew that they would get into trouble if they came here. Those rich people didn't want to cause trouble for themselves. The Zhao clan's power was still very big in this area.
Just as Lam's stepmother was still thinking about it, a voice made her so excited that she almost burst into tears.
"Lam, here!" Henry stood not far away and waved to Lam and her stepmother.
At the sight of Henry, Lam's stepmother was completely relaxed.
Henry was alone. He had asked Wade and Alfred to do other things first.
Henry strode toward the place where Lam and her stepmother were.
"Stop." A strong man in a suit stood in front of Henry and looked at him with an unkind face. "What are you doing?"
"This is a friend of our little Lam, and he is also the person your master is looking for. What's wrong? Who gave you the right to step in front of him?!" Lam's mother became confident because of the appearance of Henry. She scolded the strong man in the suit.
The strong man in the suit looked at Henry and then winked at the other man. The man walked to the side and made a phone call. Dozens of seconds later, he walked back and nodded at the strong man in front of Henry.
The strong man looked Henry up and down and then stepped aside. "Then let's go!"
Lam's stepmother introduced Henry to Marlon. Marlon looked at Henry and saw that he was only a young man in his twenties. He shook his head helplessly. This man had not been deeply involved in the world. This time, he might not be able to play a big role in helping Lam. However, Marlon was very grateful to Henry in his heart. After all, he was here to help his family.
In Zhao County, people surnamed Zhao all lived in nice big houses. Everybody who lived in Zhao County knew that they couldn't afford to offend people living in this kind of houses.
Dempsey, who had just had a conflict with Henry in the morning, was sitting in the house with an irritated look at the moment. "Dad, why did you call me so early? I was having fun last night, and I haven't slept yet."
"You just know how to have fun!" Dempsey's father looked at his son with a look of exasperation. "When that woman comes today, all the people from the clan will come over. You know what the consequences will be if they see you like this!"
