Chapter 937 Surpass Everything
At their age, Luci and Tate had already possessed a strength that many spirit maniptors dreamed
of and spent their whole time working for. It was because their powerful families had enough financial
resources and material resources to collect rare treasures. They used the wealth of their families to
obtain the rarest of treasures, and with these treasures, they rapidly increased their strength.
Therefore, if one was to put aside the first two treasures and look at the third treasure alone, which was
a middle-grade Dark Heaven Egg, it was still grand enough to attract the attention of almost everyone

in the hall.
In sharp contrast to what everyone was feeling, Luci beheld the gifts with distaste, and the fact that
Tate had gifted her with a middle-grade Dark Heaven Egg gave her a bad feeling. She believed that the
Qi n must be up to something. Otherwise, they wouldn''t be so generous as to give her a middle-
grade Dark Heaven Egg, which could be seen as the most precious gift among all the gifts.
Luci immediately looked sideways at Lucas, but when she saw him shake his head in disapproval,
she immediately replied with a smile, "These three treasures are too expensive. I am afraid that I can''t
ept them."
"Please take them, Chief Luci. The Qi n has many treasures like these. The Cao n is the
unimportant treasures seriously," Alexander replied with a smarmy smile. His words painted him as a
rich fellow, and it was obvious that he was doing this not to be generous, but to show off in front of the
other guests. Although he said they were unimportant treasures, the three treasures he was giving
were invaluable, especially for spirit maniptors.
"I believe in the saying that nothing is gained without merits. Even though they are unimportant
treasures to you, they are more precious than the gifts sent by the others. If I take them, I''m afraid I
can''t live with it," Luci steadfastly refused.
Alexander''s face darkened with malice, as he winked at Tate secretly.
"Luci, I am giving these three treasures to you from my own pocket. These have nothing to do with
the Qi n," Tate said as he looked at Luci affectionately, but inwardly, he had seen his father''s
signal and knew that it was time to do as they nned.
"In that case, I can''t take them! If I ept them, people will think that I am intimate with you," Luci
responded with a serious look in her beautiful face.
"Actually, Luci, I came here today to announce something," Tate said as he suddenly looked at
Luci sincerely.
"If it''s a personal matter, pleasee another day." Luci''s bad feeling immediately swelled into
gigantic proportions, and her heart thudded anxiously when she heard what Tate had said.
"I have to announce it now," Tate insisted firmly, which made her even more anxious.
She was worried that the Qi n hade to y some dirty tricks to deal with the Cao n. If only
she could ask the people to drag Tate out in front of everyone, but s, she could do nothing.
"Why are you doing this, Tate? Today is my chief''s birthday, and so many elders havee to pay their
respects. Your reckless behavior is not good for you and the Qi n!" Lucas cut in. He also felt that the
Qi n had attended the party for a sinister purpose.
But everyone else present was interested in what Tate had to say, so none of them stood up for Luci.
Meanwhile, Tate nced at the other guests and said loudly, "All of you must have heard that I grew up
with the chief of the Cao n, and we were once engaged. Butter, for some reason, our marriage
did not push through. However, in the past few years, I have been unable to forget her, and even now,
my love for her runs deeply in my veins. Moreover, I know that she also has a deep affection for me. So
today, I want to take this opportunity to express my love to her."
His words caused an uproar in the hall. Everyone was shocked because not even in their dreams did
they imagine Tate confessing his love to Luci in such a public and grand manner. However, it was
well known that Tate had gotten married, as it was because of his marriage that the Qi n became
what it was today. But now, Tate had the audacity to announce something like that on such an
asion. It was almost iprehensible and totally inappropriate as far as Luci is concerned.
After Tate finished speaking, most of the people turned to Alexander, waiting for his reaction, as his
statement would obviously have a great impact on the Qi n''s reputation. However, Alexander
remained silent without so much as a censuring nce at Tate, so it became evident that he was in on
it too. This confused them all the more.
"What are you talking about, Tate? You are wee as a guest to this party, but I will not allow you to
say such shameless things! What do you mean by saying that I have a deep affection for you? You are
too brazen!" Anger coursed through Luci. She knew that Tate''s statement would undoubtedly make
people misunderstand her rtionship with him. He was already married, so what he said implied that
she was a home wrecker.
But what pissed her off the most was that Tate was deliberately saying these things to confuse the
people and make them see her as his mistress. He was a man, so it would not impact his reputation
much, but she was still an unmarried woman. People would think that she was an immoral woman if
they believed what Tate had said. That would damage her reputation and would have a greater impact
on the Cao n than the Qi n.
"How dare you nder my sister? I am sure she would rather take a pig than pay attention to you!"
With Queenie''s personality, she couldn''t sit still any longer, so she shouted in defense of her sister.
"Queenie..." Luci turned to her sister and shook her head.
"Leave it to your sister," Lucas muttered quietly beside them.
Queenie pouted but quieted down, but not before ring at Tate heatedly like she wanted to cut him
into a million tiny pieces.
''Does the Qi n want to fight with our Cao n like Kilkenny cats?'' Luci thought resentfully. She
didn''t expect that the Qi n woulde up with such a dirty trick to tarnish her reputation. And she
was worried that the consequences of this simple trick would be unimaginable.
Sure enough, when she looked around, she felt like everyone was looking at her with a strange gleam
in their eyes. Every time they whispered among themselves, it felt like they were talking about her.
Obviously, they had believed Tate''s lies. From their point of view, Tate would not joke about something
like this, as it would also tarnish the reputation of the Qi n. As a man, if he truly loved a woman, it
was reasonable for him to announce it. Therefore, his statement made them think that Luci was,
indeed, a home wrecker.
"You are married. Please pay attention to your own reputation!" Seeing that Tate had misled the
people, Lucas grew very angry.
"Yesterday, I divorced my wife for Luci. Today, Ie here not only to express my love for her but
also to ask Luci for her hand." At once, the whispers that had begun to quiet down exploded into an
uproar once again.
Everyone was shocked, and Tate''s courage made them feel that his love for Luci would truly surpass
everything.
