123. Arrogant Apollo

Chapter 123

Arrogant Apollo

"Apollo, aren't you being a bit hasty? Clarissa is still very young and not ready for marriage."

At this moment, Barlyn frowned and spoke up.

Clarissa looked at him with gratitude.

Donna hesitated for a moment, then added, "Indeed, Clarissa is only twenty. Maybe we should wait a bit longer for the wedding"

Apollo smiled faintly

"Too hasty? I think it's just right. Besides, it's not me who's in a hurry, but Sir Radcliffe. I can wait, but how much longer can your Radcliffe family afford to wait? Do you dare to wait?"

Apollo's words left Clarissa and the others looking displeased.

Osborne was puzzled.

From Apollo's words, it seemed that the Radcliffe family was in trouble, which was why they were eager to marry Clarissa to Apollo to solve their problems.

But he had no idea exactly what the problem was.

"In any case, I hope to have the wedding soon. I won't be staying in Mayby City for long. After the wedding with Clarissa, I plan to take her abroad for development.

"By then, I will naturally resolve the Radcliffe fantily's issues."

"What do you think?"

Apollo wore a smug expression as if everything was under his control and everyone had to follow his arrangements

His demeanor was suffocating Donna and the others.

"I, I will discuss this with Sir Radcliffe."

Donna gritted her teeth.

Not wanting to dwell on this matter, she changed the topic. "The most pressing boane now is that Clarina is being targeted by The Aberrants! If we can't ensure her safety, nothing else matters."

Apollo sneered, "The Aberrants? A disreputable organization expelled from Rosmandi! They wouldn't dare enter Rosmandi in force, lest the Godfather deal with them."

"Even if they don't dare enter in force, they still pose a threat to Clarissa! We must find a way to ensure her safety. Do you have any suggestions, Mr. Chevalier?"

Donna directly threw the problem at Apollo.

Donna thought to herself, "Apollo, you're so arrogant and think you're so capable, right? Since you're so capable, then figure out a way to solve the problem of The Aberrants sending people to assassinate Clarissa."

Apollo clearly understood this was Donna's test.

He smiled faintly, "No problem, I'll handle it."

He beckoned to a subordinate and whispered to him.

Shortly after, he wore a confident smile.

He spoke calmnly. "I've heard that Skyefall Security Services fins a Class A defense system from the Draco Group? If we install this defense system here, Clarissa's mfety should be ensued. "

Donna's eyes lit up, "That would indeed solve the problem! However, many powerful forces are eyeing that Clasa A defense system, and Skyefall Security might not be willing to lease it to us."

Apollo laughed and said confidently, "Don't worry. If I mentioned it, I have confidence! The Chevalier family still holds some sway in Skyfall. Even the Draco Group must give my family some respect.

"Moreover, Skyefall Security has been sold to a new owner. Although we don't know who the new owner is, I believe that if I personally negotiate, they won't refuse me!

"I'll secure that Class A defense system for sure! Consider it a gift for Clarissa."

With that, Apollo looked proud.

Donna felt a bit of joy.

If they could indeed lease the Class A defense system from Skyefall Security and install it in the manor, Clarissa wouldn't have to worry about her safety within the manor.

Unfortunately, the Radcliffe family didn't have the influence to make Skyefall Security lease them the defense system.

She thought, "If Apollo is confident, then let him negotiate."

"Mr. Chevalier, are you really sure?"

Apollo smirked. "You'll see whether I'm sure or not! Why not seize the day and go now?"

"Let's go to Skyefall Security together. I'll negotiate personally and aim to have the Class A defense system installed by tonight."

Donna hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Alright! I'll make arrangements now."

Soon, a large convoy departed from the Radcliffe Manor.

As the head of security, Osborne finally got to sit in Clarissa's car and personally drove.

Barlyn sat in the front passenger seat, with Donna and Clarissa in the back.

"Mom, what's happening to our Radcliffe family? Can't we just not marry Clarissa to Apollo? That guy is so arrogant, it's unbearable!"

Barlyn couldn't help but complain.

Donna replied coldly, "Keep such comments to yourself. If you dare say that outside, I'll break your legs!"

"As for what's happening with the Radcliffe family, it's pointless to tell you. You can't change anything! Apollo may be arrogant, but he has the right to be!"

"Don't forget, even Sir Radcliffe couldn't negotiate to acquire that Class A defense systems, regardless of how much money he offered. Apollo, however, is confident be caII."

"Because of this alone, we can't afford to offend him right now."

"Who's to my he's not just bluffing?"

Barlyn rolled his eyes and said, "If Sir Radcliffe couldn't secure the deal, how could Apollo? Hmph, I don't believe it. If he fails, I can't wait to see how he handles it!"

Osborne couldn't help but chuckle at the remark

"Osborne, what's so funny?"

Donna had been watching Osbome closely, trying to gauge his reaction to Clarissa's words as she faced Apollo.

Apart from the incident at the gate where Osborne taught the enforcement team members a lesson, he had remained calm in Apollo's presence.

Donna almost believed Osborne no longer had any feelings for Clarissa.

Otherwise, he would surely show souse hostility toward Apollo,

Upon seeing Osbortis laugh at Barlyn's mockery of Apollo, Donna finally couldn't help but ask,

"Osborne, what are you laughing at? Do you also think Apollo is bluffing? And what do you think of Apollo as a person?"

Osborne was taken aback, not expecting Donna to catch his laugh.

He thought for a moment before replying, "I just found Barlyn's depiction amusing. If Apollo, with all his confidence, gets turned down by Skyefall Security, his reaction should be quite interesting"

"As for what I think of him?"

"I don't think much of him! While I'm not entirely clear on hour powerful the Chevalier family truly is, his arrogance, the way he expects everyone to obey him, rubs me the wrong way."

"I don't think he deserves Clari

Osborne finished calmly, and Barlyn burst into laughter. "Osborne, you think so too? Haha, great minds think alike!

"I also think Apollo doesn't deserve Clarissa at all! If my mom hadn't stopped me, I'd have beaten him up! Who cares about old family legacies? Acting all high and mighty in front of me, what a jerk!"

Barlyn grumbled angrily.

Donna glared at him. "Shut up! Do you think if I didn't stop you, you'd be able to beat Apollo? Huh! Even I might not be his match."

Barlyn was surprised at her words. "Is he that strong?"

Donna's expression grew serious. "I'm not entirely sure how strong he is. Ha's been abroad for years, and no one knows his exact capabilities. But I've heard be's famous overseas, known as the Grim Reaper."

"The Grim Reaper?"

"The Grim Reaper?"

The Grim Reaper?"

Barlyn, Clarissa, and Osborne echoed in astonishment.

Barlyn was shocked that Apollo had such an intimidating nickname, which sounded like he had killed many people.

Clarissa showed visible disgust on her face.

Only Osborne was simply irritated by the nickname Grim Reaper, finding it presumptuous.

He thought to himself, "Grim Reaper? The Grim Reaper is Satan!"

With his possession of Satan's Eye, Osborne couldn't stomach anyone daring to call themselves the Grim Reaper.

He believed such a person was unworthy of the title!

Donna continued, "I've only heard rumors, but Apollo's strength is certainly formidable, possibly stronger than mine. So, don't provoke him."

With that, Donna intentionally glanced at Osborne.

"Although he's arrogant, some of what he says is true. The Chevalier family is powerful in Skyefall, and even the Draco Group has to show them respect.

"If Skyefall Security were still a subsidiary of the Draco Group, they might refuse to lease the Class A defense system to Apollo. But now, the Draco Group has sold Skyefall Security.

"No matter who the new owner is, I don't think they'd risk offending the Chevalier family. So, Apollo really might manage to lease the Class A defense system."

After she finished, Clarissa frowned.

"Aunt Donna, even if he succeeds, I won't marry him."

Donna frowned and said, "Clarissa, don't say foolish things! All I can do is try to buy you more time."

She sighed deeply.

"Who you marry or not is not up to you or me to decide. It's up to Sir Radcliffe."

Barlyn was anxious. "Mom, what's wrong with our family? Do we really need the Chevalier family to survive? Must we sacrifice Clarissa's happiness? Apollo doesn't deserve her. Why should she marry him?"

"Hmph, if Apollo doesn't deserve her, who does? Besides, your opinion doesn't matter. Can you convince Sir Radcliffe? Can you persuade the elders of the family? If not, then shut up!"

Donna was furious.

Barlyn was also angry and blurted out, "I won't keep quiet! I think Osbome is better than Apollo! I'd rather see Clarissa marry Osborne than Apollo! At least Osborne saved Clarissa's life."

Osborne was stunned.

He quickly glanced at Clarissa through the rearview mirror, seeing her blush deeply, biting her lip as she looked back at him.

Their eyes met in an instant.

Osborne saw defiance and resistance in Clarissa's eyes.

Instantly, Osborne felt a jolt.

"You reckless brat, stop talking nonsense"

Donna's angry voice interrupted Osborne's thoughts.

Donna said coldly, "Don't ever say such things again! Otherwise, you'll endanger Osborne!

"And Osborne, while I appreciate you saving Clarissa several times, you and Clarissa are not suitable for each other. You come from different worlds."
