"Do you take me for a fool? How did my father die? When he was alive, how did you care about him? You all cast him aside immediately after he started regressing.

"Don't you dare disrespect us! Lu Ren, you–" Another old man who had been fuming for so long could no longer take it anymore and spoke up but Maverick wasn't going to give him a listening ear.

"Whatever I do with my life is not your business. Whomever I marry is none of your concern. Whether I have the rainborite ore or not shouldn't be your problem... Unless you want to end up being my enemies." He looked from one of them to the other. Seeing they weren't talking, he continued.
