Of course, Zendaya didnât want to marry at all. Her heart would ache every single time she thought of
Alex. If she could, she would rather kill herself along with Alex for the sake of their love. âBullsh*t!â
Percy shouted as he slammed the table hard. A small bit of the giant rotating glass tray on the table
that could accommodate fifty people for dinner broke
off after the slam, some of the dishes toppled over as well. He was livid!
It was a blessing cultivated over eight lifetimes by the Stoermers for Tristan to marry Zendaya. âThatâ s
a fortune that comes round once in a blue moon. But she doesnât want to marry?â
âShe must be insane!â Everyone present broke into cold sweat when they saw the old manâs rage.
Kazim hurriedly pulled his
daughter, telling her to apologize to him.
Kazim said, âDad, Zendaya didnât mean that she doesnât want to marry, she just wants to be modest
Lilith
seems so eager to marry Tristan. If Tristan likes her as well, Zendaya is willing to let her be the bride
instead. Zendaya, thatâs what you mean, right?â With that, he kept signalling Zendaya with his eyes.
Kazim himself was extremely satisfied with Tristan being
his son-in-law as well.
When the time came, he would be able to become a powerful figure relying on the fame of his son-in-
lawâ¦
Anyone who mentioned his name would have to give a thumbs up. âLook, itâs the father-in-law of the
youngest Grandmaster in America!â However, Zendaya looked Percy in the eye and said, âGrandpa, Iâd
like to be the one to decide who Iâm going to marry.
What conditions do you have so you could agree to not letting me marry Tristan? I donât
even know what he looks like, and I really donât want to marry him.â
Zendayaâs insistence made half of the family fume with anger. The old man pointed at her, trembling
from rage. âDo you know how rare this opportunity is?
Do you even know who Tristan Coleman is? Heâs going to be the youngest Grandmaster in America!
Do you know how
powerful that title is? When the time comes, we could restore the Stoermer family to its prime using
Tristanâs
reputation! What do you not understand?â
âSo you have to marry him, no matter how you feel.
This is your duty, your absolute honor! This is a
chance for you to achieve a higher status!â
âYouâve never learned any martial arts, so I donât blame you for not knowing what Grandmasters are.
Kazim, go back and teach Zendaya about Grandmasters.
Let her know just how important Tristan is.â
Just as Percy finished speaking, Zendaya spoke up again, âBut I refuse, Iâm willing to take the
Stoermersâ Test of Hell to make up for this.â
The old man fumed. âTest of Hell? I wouldnât even let you kill yourself even if you try that now! You will
have to marry Tristan even if you are deadâ¦
Unless, you could find a man who is more powerful than
Tristan, an Earth expert under the age of twenty-nine. Then, Iâll only let you off the hook.â After scolding
Zendaya, he kicked fiercely his stool aside. âIâm full, dinner is over.â
After that, many members of the Stoermer family started pointing and insulting Zendaya with all kinds
of
malicious words like a gush of tide.
Even her father, Kazim, really wanted to slap his own daughter out of
sheer rage. Fortunately, Carey stopped him. Zendaya, on the other hand, felt her heart turn cold. She
had almost lost control over her surging mental
power. Kreacher stood up and turned to Kazim. âKazim, Carey, itâs best if you try to persuade Zendaya
when you
go back later! This isnât a joke, you know?
Weâve already agreed to let Tristan marry her. Theyâre getting
engaged soon and heâll be here in a few days. If we were to call off the wedding now, not only would
we be
losing such an extremely rare chance, but we might also go against the Colemans of Missouri too!
Weâd be
offending a future Grandmaster and Zendaya would end up becoming the
ultimate sinner in our family.â
Carey then brought Zendaya back to their place. She seemed extremely stern as she said, âZendaya,
are you still thinking of that Rockefeller guy in
California?â
Zendaya took a glance at her, not saying a word. She was basically agreeing to it by default. âCould I
not think about him?â
âI even offered him my body.â
âAnd I was the one who forced myself onto him too.â
âIf I didnât love him with all my heart, why would I even do something so reckless?â
âMomâ¦â Zendaya showed her true emotions to her mother, sobbing softly.
