Chapter 472 I Want to Marry the Two of You
"You were defeated in a single move? Are you sure that there\'s not something wrong with your mind?" Alicia asked as she looked at Derek, suspicious that there might actually be something wrong with him.
"Are you looking down on me? Although it is true that I always chase after you, you have to know that I am not an idiot. I do believe that if the two of us get married, our two families are going to benefit the most.
The alliance between our two families is going to be something more beneficial, than the alliance between your family and the whatever family that you are currently engaged with." Derek stated.
Alicia was just about to retort that she was not actually interested in any of the engagement between the two families when Derek continued.
"I know what you want to say. You want to say that you are not the one that decided on this. But look into this, you are the heir to your family, and so am I. That implies that in the future, you are going to take over your family.
At that time, you will not be thinking about yourself anymore. Instead, you will have to think everything clearly, just to make sure that your family grows to another height. After all, I do believe that your parents will not be allowing you to do as you please once you take over the position of the leader of the family.
And what do you think? I definitely am the best person who can help you with that. After all, I have a family of my own that I am supposed to do take care of in the future. With the two of us cooperating, it should not be a problem for us to take care of two families.
Additionally, with the alliance between the two of our families, we should be able to acquire more resources. And with that, the strength of our family is going to increase." Derek stated everything in a single breath.
Whatever he had said made complete logic. Even this had completely stunned the old man because he had never expected that Derek was going to be capable of saying something intelligent as this.
People from the same level as him were definitely not given the choice of choosing their own life partners. For that reason, although Derek had been messing out, he had never thought of taking any other girl back home for marriage.
Instead, he had already set his eyes on Alicia, knowing that she was the best candidate for him. Although his father had not organized for him someone that he was going to marry, that did not imply that it was going to be the same tomorrow.
That was the reason why he had been going after Alicia. As long as she agreed, with the agreement between them, it was definitely not going to be a difficult task to convince his father and her parents that the two of them were a good match.
Alicia on the other hand looked at Derek silently. Although she really wanted to retort that badly, but still, she knew that what Derek had just said it was indeed true.
Although her mother had given her the chance to go out and look for the person that she thought was more eligible to marry her, but still, she knew that all of that was just a bluff by her mother.
If she had brought back the information about just a random guy that she had picked from somewhere, then, her mother was definitely not going to agree to that.
Additionally, although she had brought back information about Jack, added to the fact that he was actually a superhuman, even his background until now was unknown, her mother had not yet canceled the engagement between her and David.
It was clear that she was set on ensuring that she was married by David. It was just that she was not sure about getting Jack\'s background to agree to the marriage between him and Alicia. If they disagreed, then, the marriage between Alicia and David was going to proceed as it was supposed to be.
Of course, that was something that she really didn\'t want to happen. After all, she had already fallen in love with someone, and although she really cared about her family, but, she was not really wishing to mess up her life because of that.
For her, it was way better if she did not take over the position as the family head in the future if it gave her the peace that she wanted. She wanted it to have a life that she was going to be happy about, not alive that was going to make other people happy. She can never ignore herself even if she was not comfortable with making her parents angry.
"Whatever it is that you say, it actually doesn\'t matter to me. As for Celine, you should actually know the reason why I gave you the information about her. So, stop pestering me and follow her. She should be better than me." Alicia stated after a moment of silence. There was no need for her to continue arguing with Derek anymore.
From the looks of it, it did not seem that there was a possibility that she was going to be able to change his mind at all. Since he had already decided, then, she had to find a way that she was going to change his target from her to another person.
"Of course I know that. Anyway, still, I have not given up on you. As long as you agree, the two of us can get married. As for Celine, I\'m also going to make sure that I marry her as well. So, I will be having two wives with both influential backgrounds.
With the three families combined, it is definitely going to be something that is going to make us rise to the top. There should be no more competition for us in the strongholds that we belong in." Derek said proudly.
Alicia looked at him as if she was looking at a retarded person. Was this guy an idiot? Did he think that the world was revolving around himself? Additionally, did he really care about what she felt?
This stupid idiot was actually talking to her about starting a harem, even before the two of them got together. So, why was he supposed to have any positive feelings towards him when it seems that he really didn\'t care about her, but rather, he cared about her background?
She was not the only one who was thinking like that. Even the old man who had just been claiming that Derek was an intelligent person at times, had no choice but to admit that he was an idiot.
After all, how could he say something like that when he had not even gotten together with the one that was in front of him? He was already having yet another target, even before getting the one that he was targeting before.
It was just that the old man was not able to speak at this point. In any case, although he was a superhuman, he was still a subordinate to Derek\'s father. That implied that he was going to be Derek\'s subordinate in the future after Derek took over the position of the family head.
So, the matters that concerned Derek\'s future were not things that he could get himself involved in. Although he couldn\'t get involved intense that risked Derek\'s life, but that was all.
As of now, she could not see any danger that was on Derek\'s life. That implied that, there was nothing for him to do. He simply had to stand on the side, waiting for Derek to make his decision.
"What do you take me for? You think that I am not enough for a man? You think that I need another woman to help me to take care of the man that I am married to?" Alicia asked fiercely. Had it not been that she was sure that she was not Derek\'s match, she would have already beaten him up.
Additionally, she felt completely uncomfortable when she realized that she was being heaped together with Celine. To her, Celine was just as she was during the last time that they have met. Rather, although they had not met, but still, she had seen her.
Thinking of Celine\'s background, she was definitely completely uncomfortable. After all, her background was not to be underestimated. In fact, it was almost the same level as Derek\'s.
Celine on the other hand was from an ordinary background. So, how could the two of them be compared to each other? Moreover, she was way stronger than Celine was, and she possessed a special ability as well.
\'Why should she be the one to get everything that I want? Although I don\'t want this idiot, but still, I want to be together with Jack. Yet, Jack loves her, and he doesn\'t care about me. In fact, he hates me.\' Alicia thought to herself angrily.
All this time, it seemed that she could actually not be compared to Celine. After all, she wanted to be together with Jack, but Jack on the other hand was already engaged with Celine.
As for Derek, he had never thought of marrying any other person other than her, but once Celine came into the picture, the guy had even thought of marrying the two of them together. How could she not feel uncomfortable?
"Leave that aside for now. I need your help." Derek stated after looking at Alicia who seemed to be lost in her thoughts. He was not willing to continue wasting time, as the more time we wasted, the more the time of Celine and Jack being together increased.
