Chapter 5185
Seeing her admire Darryl so much only made the displeasure in Vincent's chest grow even
more.
He hurried to change the subject. "That's enough. Let's not talk about that.”
As he spoke, Vincent glanced around him. Then, upon making sure that no one could
overhear the two of them, a smile appeared on his face as he said in a mysterious tone,
"I've got some good news, Sister Gigi." "What good news?" Gigi perked up at the words.
Vincent took a deep breath, walking closer to gaze deeply into Gigi's eyes." I told my
master about us before I made the trip to the North Sea Galaxy. He's given us his blessing
to bring me to the Pure Yang Division in half a month to ask your master for your hand in
marriage."
Vincent was overwhelmed with emotion.
He considered himself and Gigi as practically childhood lovers, and he had dreamt of
marrying her many a night. Since his master had agreed to let him propose, he could
hardly contain his joy.

Gigi was startled by his words. "What marriage?"
She had drunk quite a bit at the banquet and still had not recovered to her senses.
Vincent gazed at her lovingly. "Silly girl. Our marriage, of course."
As the words rang through the air, Gigi sobered up instantly. She stared at Vincent in a
daze for over ten seconds before returning to her senses as she shook her head.
"You're... You're too funny, Brother Vincent."
Despite her and Vincent having grown up together and having a pretty good relationship,
they were still quite far from becoming a couple. The mention of him proposing made her
reject him by nature.
Seeing her reaction, Vincent panicked. "I'm sure you know I've liked you all these years
but never said it out loud, Sister Gigi. I really want you to be my wife. Please don't worry.
I'll treat you very well."
As he spoke, Vincent could not help but tug at Gigi's hand.
Slip!
Gigi jerked out of his grasp as if she had just been electrocuted. She stepped back,
shaking her head.
"Don't... don't be this way."
She had always only seen Vincent as a senior brother, so she was caught completely off
guard by his intention of going further with her.
Sensing Gigi's rejection, Vincent panicked. He thought of how Gigi had spoken up for
Darryl and could not help but say, "Sister Gigi, is it... Is it because of that Darryl Darby
fellow that you won't be my wife?"
Because of Darryl?
Gigi was startled. The image of Darryl came to her mind repeatedly as her heart began to
pound.
Despite not having any powers, he had helped her greatly at the fighting tournament and
taught that b*stard from the Belladonna Palace a lesson. It could be said that if it had not
been for Darryl, who knew what else Andres could have done to her.
On top of that, Darryl's pill-making skills were second to none in the whole Cryolet

Whew...
Seeing her like that, Vincent grew even more desperate as he gripped Gigi's shoulders.
"You... Do you really have feelings for Darryl Darby?"
Gigi had a great shock. She returned to her senses instantly, breaking out of Vincent's
grasp.
"You... There's nothing between the both of us. I just... I just don't want to get married so
quickly. It's getting late. I should go and get some rest."
Gigi turned to run away, not daring to look Vincent in the eye.
Thump!
Seeing her retreating figure, Vincent's face flushed an ugly shade of red as he brought his
fist heavily down against a stone pillar.
'F*ck! It's all that Darryl Darby's fault. First, he humiliated me in the main hall, and now,
he's trying to take away the love of my life.' 3
Vincent's anger grew as his gaze turned murderous.
'How could you treat me like this after we grew up together, Gigi Norah?
Very well. Since you want to be heartless, don't mind if I return the favor.'
