Chapter 7: Relatives

"Star, accept the call," Ryzel ordered.

Ryzel immediately fixed his expression. He didn't want to let other people know, especially his relatives, that he was affected by the breakup.

"Okay, master," Star said, and he obediently accepted the call.

As soon as the call was connected, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a suit. It was obvious that the man was still in the office.

"Hello, uncle, what do you want to say? "Ryzel said it directly, without any politeness that should be used when seeing your older relatives.

For his so-called relatives, Ryzel doesn't have a shred of respect for them.

As soon as the middle-aged man heard Ryzel's impolite tone, his face contorted a little bit.

His uncle was obviously angry, but he didn't want to show it, so he immediately controlled his expression.

He knew that if his uncle wasn't in his office, he would have reprimanded him heavily with a loud voice.

"Ryzel, I know Dwight just broke your engagement, but don't be too angry."

"How could I be angry with my uncle when you all agreed to break the engagement without even saying anything to me? "Ryzel said it ironically.

"Be mindful of your tone, Ryzel; I'm still your elder," his uncle warned him, looking at him pointedly. 

"We agreed to break off your engagement with Dwight because his compatibility with Sean is higher than yours. 

Besides, it is not good to interfere with the love lives of youngsters when they both ask to be together sincerely." 

His first uncle explained why they agreed to break off his engagement.

'Wow, so just because they sincerely love each other. It's okay to make him appear like the villain or the third party who wants to destroy their relationship.'

"So you just broke off my engagement just like that? "Ryzel asked coldly.

"Both Dwight and Sean sincerely asked to be together and showed the results of their compatibility at the family gathering yesterday.

Their compatibility is as high as eighty-one percent (81%), unlike the compatibility of you guys, which is barely passable.

You already know that Dwight has a bright future, so it would be best for him if he and his guide were more compatible.

Don't dwell too much on it.

It is already agreed that they are going to get married next month," his uncle continued explaining.

"Uncle, you know I'm going to turn twenty (20) next month," Ryzel said, looking pointedly at his uncle.

"Don't worry about that; we are going to look for a sentinel for you." 

"Okay, I understand. Goodbye, uncle," Ryzel said coldly.

He cut off the call without waiting for further explanation from his uncle.

"Ha ha ha."

After the call, Ryzel sat back on the sofa and laughed sadly while covering his face with one of his hands.

He doesn't know how to express the feelings he has, so he can only laugh at himself. 

He knew that his relatives didn't care about him and didn't want him to get his inheritance back, but what they were doing was too much.

His father has three (3) stepbrothers. When her grandma died of childbirth, their grandfather married another guide.

His father was the firstborn and had the greatest capabilities compared to his brother. That's why he was the one who became the head of the family.

His father was really great; he didn't use his family connection but strived on his own to become a great general.

When his father died on the battlefield against the Zergs together with his soldiers, all of his possessions should go to his only child, Ryzel.

His uncles were greedy for all the achievements his father had, so even if the things his father left behind were not part of the family property, they still got them.

 Now for him not to have his inheritance back, they even canceled his marriage without him knowing anything.

What is even more absurd is that, from what his uncle said, they already decided to cancel his wedding yesterday, but he was only informed today.

"Ha ha ha."

Ryzel can't help but laugh at himself again.

It was obvious that Sean and Dwight were really together before. They even already prepared the result of the system match to show it to everyone.

Well, anyway, even without the result of the system match, Ryzel was sure that his relatives would still agree to break his engagement with Dwight. 

He was sure that his relatives would agree to let Sean marry Dwight instead of himself.

His relatives just need a good reason to agree with the cancellation of his marriage so that outsiders won't talk badly about them. 

The match between Sean and Dwight was really high compared to the normal pairing of sentinel and guide, which would just reach fifty to seventy percent (50–70%).

Their compatibility, which reaches 81%, is considered rare.

No wonder Dwight didn't force him to go with him yesterday for the family gathering.

Normally, Dwight was forcing him to attend the family gathering even if he didn't want to, saying that they were still family and he should attend.

He really didn't know that Dwight was such a scum. They have already confessed their love to the whole family, but he was not informed until now.

Ryzel thought he would feel at least a little bit better if he was the first one to know about the cancellation of their marriage.

He was sincerely appreciative of Lyre confronting Sean and Dwight the previous day.

If Lyre hadn't tried to confront them yesterday and made Sean cry, Dwight wouldn't be hot-headed and angry.

Maybe he would only be informed of the cancellation of his marriage on the day of his birthday.

He would only know on the day of his wedding that he wasn't the one getting married, but it would be Sean instead.

"ha ha ha"

Ryzel laughed at himself again.

He wanted to teach both of them a lesson, but now he has to start solving all the problems that would arise because he doesn't have a marriage partner.
