Chapter 1

En la estación de autobuses de Sunset City, un hombre con un abrigo oscuro, gafas de sol y una complexión fuerte y erguida salió.

Iba hablando por teléfono mientras caminaba.

—¿Lo has averiguado?

—Sí, Señor Dragón. La mujer que te salvó del incendio hace diez años se llama Chloe. Después de sacarte del fuego, milagrosamente sobrevivió, pero sufrió quemaduras en el 95% de su cuerpo.

Al escuchar esto, el hombre apretó su teléfono con fuerza, su rostro se oscureció.

Aunque era un caluroso día de verano, la temperatura a su alrededor bajó repentinamente, y un escalofrío recorrió la zona.

Las personas que pasaban junto a él no pudieron evitar estremecerse.

Su nombre era Larry Bennett, miembro de la Familia Bennett.

Hace diez años, una conspiración contra la Familia Bennett se desató en Sunset City, y un incendio envolvió a la familia.

Una joven se lanzó a las llamas y lo sacó.

A la mañana siguiente, los treinta y ocho miembros de la Familia Bennett habían perecido en el incendio, y la Familia Bennett, que una vez fue la familia líder en Sunset City, se convirtió en historia.

Después de ser rescatado, Larry, impulsado por una fuerte voluntad de sobrevivir, saltó a un río y milagrosamente sobrevivió.

Terminó en Southwild y se convirtió en soldado.

Diez años después, ascendió de ser un soldado desconocido a un general comandante.

Una vez luchó solo contra treinta mil tropas enemigas de élite e infiltró las líneas enemigas para capturar a su comandante vivo.

Era el Señor Dragón, renombrado en Southwild.

Era el Dragón Negro, temido por sus enemigos.

También era el general más joven en la historia de la Nación del Verano.

Después de convertirse en general, eligió retirarse y regresó a Sunset City con el objetivo de devolver el favor y buscar venganza.

Para agradecer a Chloe por salvarle la vida y vengar la aniquilación de la Familia Bennett.

—Quiero toda la información sobre Chloe.

—Señor Dragón, la he enviado a tu correo electrónico. Por favor, revísalo.

Larry colgó, abrió su correo electrónico y recibió un mensaje.

[Chloe, mujer, veintisiete años, miembro de la Familia Lewis.]

La Familia Lewis era considerada una familia menor en Sunset City.

Hace diez años, Chloe aún estaba en la escuela secundaria.

Era domingo, y fue de picnic con algunos compañeros de clase.

Por la tarde, vieron una villa en llamas. Al escuchar gritos de ayuda, se lanzó a las llamas sin dudarlo y salvó a un joven.

Ese joven era Larry.

Este accidente cambió la vida de Chloe para siempre.

Sufrió quemaduras graves y milagrosamente sobrevivió, pero el 95% de su cuerpo quedó marcado.

Desde entonces, Chloe se convirtió en el hazmerreír entre sus compañeros de clase y en objeto de chismes.

«Chloe, pasaré el resto de mi vida devolviéndote el favor por salvarme la vida.»

«La Familia Hall, la Familia Johnson, la Familia García y la Familia Wilson, yo, Larry, he vuelto. Recuperaré lo que me quitaron uno por uno. Haré que todos paguen un alto precio por matar a mi familia.»

Larry apretó los puños, dio un paso adelante y se subió a un coche de negocios sin distintivos.

El conductor era un hombre con una camiseta sin mangas negra y una gorra de béisbol negra.

El hombre habló:

—Señor Dragón, en tres días, la Familia Lewis está organizando un evento de selección de yerno para Chloe. El jefe de la Familia Lewis, Victor Lewis, anunció que cualquiera que se case con Chloe se convertirá en miembro de la Familia Lewis y recibirá su protección.

Larry levantó una ceja.

—¿Selección de yerno? ¿Qué está pasando?

—Señor Dragón, aunque la Familia Lewis es una familia prominente, Chloe se ha convertido en la mujer más fea de Sunset City. Nadie se atreve a casarse con ella, y se ha convertido en el hazmerreír de su familia. Victor está ansioso y se le ocurrió esta idea. A pesar de la desfiguración de Chloe, muchos hombres aún están dispuestos a casarse con ella por la riqueza y el estatus de la familia.

En la villa de la familia Lewis, todos los miembros importantes de la familia estaban presentes hoy.

Hoy era el día en que Victor estaba seleccionando un esposo para su nieta Chloe. Después de una serie de selecciones, finalmente se eligieron a diez hombres.

En el gran salón de la villa estaban de pie diez hombres, de diferentes edades y apariencias, algunos guapos, otros no tanto.

Todos ellos eran hombres sin estatus ni posición.

Larry estaba entre ellos.

Sin la ayuda de Chloe, habría muerto en el incendio hace diez años, y no se habría convertido en el renombrado Dragón Negro de Southwild.

En el sofá del salón principal de la villa, una mujer envuelta en ropa ajustada, con el rostro cubierto por un velo blanco, hacía que sus rasgos fueran indistinguibles.

Un anciano con traje, apoyado en un bastón, se levantó y miró a los diez hombres frente a él, anunciando en voz alta:

—Ahora, declaro que el que se convertirá en el yerno de la Familia Lewis es... Larry.

La mujer con el velo blanco tembló al escuchar esto.

En ese momento, se dio cuenta de que el resto de su vida ya había sido decidido por su familia.

Sabía que desde el momento en que salvó al hombre del incendio hace diez años, había perdido todo.

Los otros candidatos no seleccionados se marcharon con caras de decepción.

Larry se mantuvo erguido en el salón principal de la villa de la Familia Lewis.

En ese momento, un hombre se levantó, se acercó a Larry, le dio una palmada en el hombro y se burló:

—Larry, trata bien a Chloe en el futuro. Aunque esté desfigurada y sea un poco fea, sigue siendo una mujer y aún puede satisfacerte.

El que hablaba era Oscar Lewis, el nieto mayor de la Familia Lewis.

Larry ignoró a Oscar; sus ojos solo estaban en Chloe.

Su mirada se posó en Chloe, que estaba sentada en el sofá. No podía ver claramente su rostro.

Sin embargo, podía ver que el velo blanco en su rostro estaba mojado, empapado con sus lágrimas.

—Chloe, vete tú sola. Yo voy a jugar a las cartas —dijo una mujer de mediana edad con una expresión de desdén en su rostro, alejándose sin mirar atrás, moviendo las caderas mientras se iba.

Ella era la madre de Chloe, María Martín.

María estaba completamente decepcionada de Chloe.

Mientras que otras mujeres de la Familia Lewis se habían casado con familias, Chloe no tuvo más remedio que recurrir a casarse con un hombre cualquiera de la calle.

—Papá, me voy a la oficina —dijo el padre de Chloe, Scott Lewis, saludando a Victor y luego se fue apresuradamente, ignorando a su hija, Chloe.

Los otros miembros de la Familia Lewis miraban a Larry con expresiones burlonas.

Este hombre alto y corpulento en realidad se estaba casando con Chloe, el hazmerreír de Sunset City.

Larry se acercó a Chloe, la miró y extendió su mano.

Chloe, que lloraba en silencio en el sofá, miró su mano, atónita.

—A partir de ahora, te protegeré. Conmigo aquí, no hay nada que temer. Serás la mujer más feliz del mundo.

Sus palabras resueltas llegaron a los oídos de Chloe.

En ese momento, olvidó las caras burlonas de los demás.

Olvidó sus frías burlas, y sus ojos solo estaban en este hombre alto, poderoso y, sin embargo, tierno.

Larry tomó su mano, la levantó del sofá y dijo suavemente:

—Vamos.

Larry llevó a Chloe fuera de la villa de la Familia Lewis.

Fuera de la villa, un coche de negocios sin distintivos estaba estacionado.

Dos hombres con trajes negros estaban frente al coche.

Cuando Larry se acercó con la confundida Chloe, los dos hombres comenzaron a hablar:

—Dragón...

Larry levantó ligeramente la mano, interrumpiéndolos, y dijo:

—Llévenme a la Residencia Imperial. Necesito tratar las heridas de mi esposa.

Larry no solo era el renombrado Señor Dragón de Southwild, sino también un médico milagroso.

Sus habilidades médicas eran excepcionales, y tratar las cicatrices de Chloe sería una tarea sencilla para él.
