When Claire's mother heard this, she couldn't help but look at Ma He twice.

The girl's firm eyes and heartfelt voice deeply shocked everyone present.

The adoptive mother had no reason not to retract her slight.

At first, she thought there was no difference between Maho and those who clung to her. It was only now that she gradually understood the relationship between Rhodes and Maho.

And what about other girls? Ask yourself, are you really willing to follow Rhodes with selfless devotion?

the answer is negative.

Prominent family background, appearance, status, and other factors all subtly affect their judgment.

Like a handsome prince in a fairy tale, they felt as if they were taking a breath of fresh air when talking to him, and they didn't feel any instinctive discomfort.

In this case, who can resist his charm?

They may also be able to say these words like Ma He, but Ma He's eyes are full of piety and a mentality of looking forward to death. It's hard for them to do this because they don't know or understand how deep and powerless the darkness in the Black Heart Orphanage is.

Even Rhodes himself was surprised when he heard it.

He really didn't expect the girl to have such strong feelings for him.

The joy of being rescued from a desperate situation is like a beacon shining in a stormy sea that has lost its bearings and is incomparable to anything else.

Anyone who can say this openly has already proven that Ma Hao doesn't care about other people's views on him.

There is only one person that Ma He cares about, and that is Rhodes.

"Originally, I was still wondering whether you would do anything evil to Rhodes, but it seems that my worries were unfounded."

Unmoderated admiration appeared on the adoptive mother's face.

As for whether it's acting skills, if all this is really staged, how much superb acting skills does it take for a young girl to be able to hide it from everyone? They also admitted it.

What's more, with Rhodes here, it is completely impossible.

"On behalf of the Kageno family, I welcome you."

The adoptive mother finished speaking formally, paused, and then continued.

"Rhode, as for you lying to me about going back early, I don't care. The result is good after all. I just want to remind you that you can try to rely more on your family,"

Reproachful eyes fell on Rhodes,

"I will."

Rhodes readily accepted his adoptive mother's advice out of concern.

Although Rhodes is called the only god, he still has his own emotions and desires. He still feels warm when being cared for, instead of looking at everything in the world with indifference and abandoning all emotions.

In that case, what's the point?

"Okay, let me tell you something else today."

The adoptive mother looked at the middle-aged man and signaled him to speak.

The man coughed and said seriously: "That's right, didn't we attend a banquet tonight?"

Of course Rhodes didn't forget it. He lowered his head and nodded. If I remember correctly, he came here to choose a betrothed?

That is to say...

Rhodes guessed what the man was going to say next and frowned slightly. The only thing he didn't understand was that he didn't attract much attention the whole time and his presence was lower than that of a servant. How could this matter be related to him?

The man's helpless expression matched his judgment.

"When the Viconi family was choosing a fiancée and introducing their outstanding young people, I accidentally let your name slip. As a result, the current head of the Viconi family heard about it and proposed the idea of ​​meeting you. Said he was interested in you."

"Rhode, have you ever done anything that made that adult choose you directly after hearing your name?"

"What have I done?"

Rhodes' brain was thinking rapidly. He had indeed done many things, but none of them were related to Viconi.

"no impression."

Rhodes shook his head: "Why don't you just reject him?"

Ma Hao felt quietly relaxed.

"Of course I said that! But the lord said he wanted to meet you, and you knew everything. I hope I can talk to you alone."

"Really?" Rhodes had a vague guess.

"Judging from his tone, it shouldn't be a bad thing. Even if something happens, we will fully support you behind the scenes."

The middle-aged man motioned to the room next door with his eyes: "They are here now. If you want to see him, just go in. Do you need us to follow them?"

The middle-aged man was asking implicitly if there was any danger.

"I'm going to meet him. After all, he is the lord of a city. He is not unlimited enough to threaten a young man. What's more, my own strength is not weak. When I am really in danger, I will run out." Rhode asked. They relax.

The middle-aged man leaned into Ron's ear and whispered.

"Our people are lying in ambush around you. When you make more noise, we will go in and rescue you. Even if the other party has a higher title than us, if he dares to bully you, I will definitely make him pay the price."

The middle-aged man changed his usual fear of his wife and said sternly.

Good guy, the assassination has been done.

Rhodes didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but at least one thing was clear to him. His adoptive parents truly cared for him and treated him as a family member.

As for bullying…

Rhodes chuckled, walked to the room next door where Viconi rested, and knocked on the door.

It’s hard to say who bullied whom.

Ps: Continuously updating, the Assassin chapter will end soon, it won’t take too long, and it will return to the main line.
