Chapter 287: Chapter 287: All of You Attack Together

The car didn’t head directly to the castle but first detoured to a place on the right side of the ancient castle that resembled a side hall.

Here, they switched clothes, and then there was a specialized grooming team responsible for makeup and accessories.

Only after everything complied with the rules could they enter the castle.

Apart from Lu Xiao and Irina, Victoria and Chen Fei had also changed into the evening dresses that had been prepared in advance.

Perhaps because it was her first time wearing an evening gown, Chen Fei moved somewhat unnaturally.

"Lu Xiao, this... isn’t it too revealing?" In the corridor connecting the side hall to the castle, Chen Fei gently pulled at the dress, feeling it exposed too much despite it not being super low-cut and lacked a sense of security.

"No, it looks super good, way better than Irina," Lu Xiao chuckled.

On this point, Lu Xiao wasn’t just spouting nonsense; in his eyes, Chen Fei indeed looked more stunning in the evening gown.

Irina had the typical European girl build, quite full both front and back.

Perhaps to Western men, Irina seemed unimaginably beautiful.

But Lu Xiao still felt that such a figure made an evening gown seem a bit cumbersome.

Chen Fei, on the other hand, was better – with her cool and elegant temperament and her long, slender, and well-proportioned figure, especially her straight, fair legs, truly conforming to Eastern aesthetic preferences.

"Lu Xiao, I can hear you," Irina called back from ahead.

"So what if you can hear? What’s wrong with saying my girlfriend is prettier than you?"

"Are you up to par? Why don’t I hear you praising Victoria like that, what kind of boyfriend are you!" Lu Xiao retorted to Irina a couple of times.

Irina was so annoyed she wished she could have a battle with Lu Xiao right then and there.

This jerk never had anything nice to say.

"Just take care of yourself. If you expose yourself later, you’ll have to deal with the consequences on your own," Irina huffed.

Lu Xiao didn’t bother with Irina anymore; he’d own it if he had to. Did she think he couldn’t carry that weight?

Besides, his girlfriend was a Fourth-stage Mutant with metal control powers.

After about a ten-minute walk, the grand doors of the ancient castle were in sight.

A red carpet about a hundred meters long stretched from inside the castle gate all the way down to the large plaza below the steps.

On both sides of the red carpet stood two rows of ceremonial bands.

"Lu Xiao, stop flirting with Chen Fei. I am your wife today. Come here, let’s walk down the red carpet arm in arm," Irina shouted to Lu Xiao.

Was this guy even serious? He’d been lovey-dovey with Chen Fei the whole time without any regard for the impression it made.

"Alright, alright, I got it," Lu Xiao replied with obvious reluctance as he walked over to Irina’s side.

At the same time, Victoria naturally stood shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand with Chen Fei.

The moment Lu Xiao and Irina stepped onto the red carpet, solemn music suddenly began to play.

And Lu Xiao put on a cooperative smile.

After all, he had already taken Irina’s Mutated Crystal, and he ought to make sure things went smoothly for her.

"There’s likely to be a confrontation when we go in, so... just deal with it as you see fit. Fight if you can, and if not, don’t respond," Irina advised Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao looked puzzled. I came to get married, and now I have to fight?

"It’s a family tradition, after all, we’re Mutants, and strength is always the foremost priority."

"I am the family heir, so the challengers will be relatively strong."

"But don’t worry, it’s just a custom and usually ends once the point is made," Irina added in explanation.

Lu Xiao shrugged. Well, as long as no Fourth Rank came forward, it was all the same to him.

Soon, the pair finished walking the carpet outside and stepped inside the ancient castle.

Inside the castle, another red carpet stretched all the way to the very back.

However, unlike outside, both sides of the carpet were filled with guests who had come for the wedding.

The guests were mostly Mutants.

"It’s really Lu Xiao!"

"Lu Xiao! Give me back my money, I bet a hundred million US dollars that you’d be dead."

In the crowd, some people started to wail.

Lu Xiao almost laughed out loud. A hundred million US dollars bet on my death, that’s truly unfortunate for you.

"I object to this marriage!" The guy who just complained about losing a hundred million dollars had already jumped forward.

According to the Mertens family rules, as long as the red carpet hadn’t been entirely walked, anyone could come forward to object and challenge.

It didn’t matter how many people opposed; if the cumulative number of times the challenges were not overcome reached seven, the wedding would be forcibly terminated.

"I also object!" Where there was one, there were two, and where there were two, there were three.

After all, no place was without gamblers.

Especially these opulent Mutant family clans.

So, quite quickly, the red carpet was crowded with objectors.

At a glance, there had to be at least fifty or sixty people.

Irina felt a tingle on her scalp. So many people? If it comes to a fight one after another, we wouldn’t get anything else done today.

"Anyone else objecting?" Lu Xiao asked the crowd calmly, raising his head.

After about ten seconds or so, no one else stepped forward.

"Okay then, come at me all together; save me some time," Lu Xiao waved his hand invitingly toward the people on the red carpet.
