Chapter 3550

James and Winnie’s relationship could not be exposed.

Since Winnie took the initiative to cover it up, James played along with her.

Melinda suspected that James was somehow related to Winnie, but had no evidence to support her

beliefs. Since Winnie explained of her own accord, she stopped pressing the matter and said,

“Welcome to Mount Heavenly Path.”

James parted his lips and replied. “Thank you.”

Melinda specifically visited Mount Teva to see James.

“I’d like to speak to you briefly, James.”

She led James out of the hall. After leaving the hall, she headed to an isolated area. Then, she let go of

James and stared at him.

Puzzled, James asked, “Is something the matter?”

Melinda grinned and said, “It’s not a big deal. Not too long ago, my father came to me and mentioned

wanting to wed me to you.”

“...”

James took a few steps backward and stared at Melinda. Then, he immediately smiled sarcastically.

“That wasn’t very funny.”

“It’s true. Father said you’re a rare prodigy that is destined to surpass everyone in the universe and that

you’re the only person worthy of marrying me. He also mentioned that you’d replace Radomir and take

control of the Heavenly Path to assist my brother when he becomes the Lord of the Universe. If you

marry me, you’ll become one of the most powerful people in this universe,” said Melinda.

Melinda faithfully relayed what Hadad had told her. After learning that her father wanted her to marry

James, she agreed to his idea without hesitation. Since antiquity, it was perfectly normal for a beautiful

woman to marry a powerful man. James was the only man in the entire universe worthy of taking her

hand.

Meanwhile, James had a grim expression when he heard what she had said.

‘This is ridiculous. How can I marry Melinda?’ thought James.

He became the new owner of Mount Nothingness and his duty was to destroy Mount Heavenly Path.

Sooner or later, he would have to turn against Mount Heavenly Path. How could he take Melinda as his

wife knowing this?

Melinda grinned at him. “I simply came to give you a heads-up. My father will come to speak to you in

person about the marriage soon.”

After speaking, Melinda dashed off. James was left behind, dumbfounded by the news.

“W-What the hell is going on?” He murmured to himself, then entered the hall again.

As soon as he returned, Winnie stood up and asked, “Mr. Caden, what business did you have with the

Princess?”

James replied lightly, “It’s nothing of importance. She simply said the Lord of the Universe wishes to

betrothe her to me.”

“Huh?” Gasped Winnie loudly. Her lips then formed a smile. “Well, that’s interesting.”

“A-hem.”

Radomir coughed lightly from the highest seat and said, “I still have other matters to attend to, so I

can’t stay any longer. By the way, could you also see Winnie home? Master really favors her, so you

must treat her courteously.”

James felt his chest tighten at Radomir’s words.

‘Hadad favors Winnie? What does Radomir mean? If Hadad likes my daughter, and he marries his

daughter to me, everyone’s relationship would become extremely messy,’ thought James.

James took a deep breath and cleared his mind. He turned to Winnie and said, “Let’s go, I’ll escort you

back.”
