Chapter 1

Na Estação Rodoviária de Sunset City, um homem vestindo um casaco escuro, óculos de sol e com uma postura forte e ereta saiu.

Ele estava ao telefone enquanto caminhava.

"Você descobriu isso?"

"Sim, Senhor Dragão. A mulher que te salvou do incêndio há dez anos se chama Chloe. Depois de te tirar do fogo, ela milagrosamente sobreviveu, mas sofreu queimaduras em 95% do corpo."

Ao ouvir isso, o homem apertou o telefone com força, seu rosto escurecendo.

Mesmo sendo um dia quente de verão, a temperatura ao redor caiu de repente, e um frio varreu a área.

As pessoas que passavam por ele não puderam deixar de tremer.

Seu nome era Larry Bennett, um membro da Família Bennett.

Dez anos atrás, uma conspiração contra a Família Bennett se desenrolou em Sunset City, e um incêndio engolfou a família.

Uma jovem correu para as chamas e o puxou para fora.

Na manhã seguinte, todos os trinta e oito membros da Família Bennett haviam perecido no incêndio, e a Família Bennett, que antes era a principal família de Sunset City, tornou-se história.

Depois de ser resgatado, Larry, movido por uma forte vontade de sobreviver, pulou em um rio e milagrosamente sobreviveu.

Ele acabou em Southwild e se tornou um soldado.

Dez anos depois, ele ascendeu de um soldado desconhecido a um general comandante.

Ele uma vez lutou sozinho contra trinta mil tropas inimigas de elite e infiltrou-se nas linhas inimigas para capturar seu comandante vivo.

Ele era o Senhor Dragão, renomado em Southwild.

Ele era o Dragão Negro, temido por seus inimigos.

Ele também era o general mais jovem na história da Nação do Verão.

Depois de se tornar general, ele escolheu se aposentar e voltou para Sunset City com o objetivo de retribuir a bondade e buscar vingança.

Para retribuir Chloe por salvar sua vida e vingar a aniquilação da Família Bennett.

"Quero todas as informações sobre Chloe."

"Senhor Dragão, enviei para o seu e-mail. Por favor, verifique."

Larry desligou, abriu seu e-mail e recebeu uma mensagem.

[Chloe, mulher, vinte e sete anos, membro da Família Lewis.]

A Família Lewis era considerada uma família menor em Sunset City.

Dez anos atrás, Chloe ainda estava no ensino médio.

Era domingo, e ela foi fazer um piquenique com alguns colegas.

À noite, eles viram uma mansão em chamas. Ao ouvir gritos de socorro, ela correu para as chamas sem hesitação e salvou um jovem garoto.

Esse garoto era Larry.

Esse acidente mudou a vida de Chloe para sempre.

Ela foi gravemente queimada e milagrosamente sobreviveu, mas 95% do seu corpo ficou com cicatrizes.

A partir de então, Chloe se tornou motivo de riso entre seus colegas e alvo de fofocas.

"Chloe, vou passar o resto da minha vida retribuindo por você ter salvado minha vida."

"As Famílias Hall, Johnson, Garcia e Wilson, eu, Larry, estou de volta. Vou recuperar o que vocês tiraram de mim um por um. Vou fazer todos vocês pagarem um preço alto por matar minha família."

Larry cerrou os punhos, deu um passo à frente e entrou em um carro comercial sem marca.

O motorista era um homem vestindo uma regata preta e um boné de beisebol preto.

O homem falou, "Senhor Dragão, em três dias, a Família Lewis está realizando um evento de seleção de genro para Chloe. O chefe da Família Lewis, Victor Lewis, anunciou que qualquer um que se casar com Chloe se tornará membro da Família Lewis e receberá sua proteção."

Larry levantou uma sobrancelha. "Seleção de genro? O que está acontecendo?"

"Senhor Dragão, embora a Família Lewis seja uma família proeminente, Chloe se tornou a mulher mais feia de Sunset City. Ninguém se atreve a se casar com ela, e ela se tornou motivo de riso dentro da família. Victor está ansioso e teve essa ideia. Apesar da desfiguração de Chloe, muitos homens ainda estão dispostos a se casar com ela pela riqueza e status da família."

Na mansão da família Lewis, todos os membros importantes da família estavam presentes hoje.

Hoje era o dia em que Victor estava escolhendo um marido para sua neta Chloe. Após uma série de seleções, dez homens foram finalmente escolhidos.

No grande salão da mansão estavam dez homens, variando em idade e aparência, alguns bonitos, outros nem tanto.

Todos os dez eram homens sem status ou posição.

Larry estava entre eles.

Sem a ajuda de Chloe, ele teria morrido no incêndio há dez anos, e não teria se tornado o renomado Dragão Negro de Southwild.

No sofá do salão principal da mansão estava sentada uma mulher envolta em roupas, com o rosto coberto por um véu branco, tornando suas feições indistinguíveis.

Um homem idoso de terno, apoiado em uma bengala, levantou-se e olhou para os dez homens à sua frente, anunciando em voz alta: "Agora, declaro que o escolhido para ser o genro da Família Lewis é... Larry."

A mulher com o véu branco tremeu ao ouvir isso.

Nesse momento, ela percebeu que o resto de sua vida já havia sido decidido por sua família.

Ela sabia que, desde o momento em que salvou o homem do incêndio há dez anos, havia perdido tudo.

Os outros candidatos não selecionados saíram com rostos desapontados.

Larry ficou ereto no salão principal da mansão da Família Lewis.

Nesse momento, um homem se levantou, caminhou até Larry, deu-lhe um tapinha no ombro e zombou: "Larry, trate bem a Chloe no futuro. Mesmo que ela esteja desfigurada e um pouco feia, ela ainda é uma mulher e pode te satisfazer."

O orador era Oscar Lewis, o neto mais velho da Família Lewis.

Larry ignorou Oscar; seus olhos estavam apenas em Chloe.

Seu olhar repousou sobre Chloe, que estava sentada no sofá. Ele não conseguia ver seu rosto claramente.

No entanto, ele podia ver que o véu branco em seu rosto estava molhado, encharcado com suas lágrimas.

"Chloe, vá sozinha. Vou jogar cartas." Uma mulher de meia-idade com uma expressão de desdém no rosto se afastou sem olhar para trás, balançando os quadris enquanto ia.

Ela era a mãe de Chloe, Maria Martin.

Maria estava completamente decepcionada com Chloe.

Enquanto outras mulheres da Família Lewis haviam se casado com boas famílias, Chloe não teve escolha a não ser recorrer a se casar com um homem aleatório da rua.

"Papai, estou indo para o escritório." O pai de Chloe, Scott Lewis, cumprimentou Victor e saiu apressadamente, ignorando sua filha, Chloe.

Os outros membros da Família Lewis olhavam para Larry com expressões de zombaria.

Esse homem alto e forte estava realmente se casando com Chloe, o motivo de riso de Sunset City.

Larry caminhou até Chloe, olhou para ela e estendeu a mão.

Chloe, que chorava silenciosamente no sofá, olhou para sua mão, atônita.

"A partir de agora, eu vou te proteger. Comigo aqui, não há nada a temer. Você será a mulher mais feliz do mundo."

Suas palavras resolutas chegaram aos ouvidos de Chloe.

Nesse momento, ela esqueceu os rostos zombeteiros dos outros.

Ela esqueceu as frias ridicularizações, e seus olhos estavam apenas nesse homem alto, poderoso e, ao mesmo tempo, terno.

Larry pegou sua mão, puxou-a do sofá e disse gentilmente: "Vamos."

Larry levou Chloe para fora da mansão da Família Lewis.

Do lado de fora da mansão, um carro comercial sem marca estava estacionado.

Dois homens de terno preto estavam em frente ao carro.

Quando Larry se aproximou com a confusa Chloe, os dois homens começaram a falar. "Dragão..."

Larry levantou ligeiramente a mão, interrompendo-os, e disse: "Levem-me para a Residência Imperial. Preciso tratar os ferimentos da minha esposa."

Larry não era apenas o renomado Senhor Dragão de Southwild, mas também um médico milagroso.

Suas habilidades médicas eram excepcionais, e tratar as cicatrizes de Chloe seria uma tarefa simples para ele.

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
"Mine." He demanded.
