"Oh no! It's not what you think!" Andrew hurriedly explained.
"Not you?"
"It's you!"
Caesar's expression immediately became complicated: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Andrew considered his words carefully: "Young Master, I want to ask... are you lonely?"
Caesar's hand trembled slightly as he held the ice water. He put the ice water back on the table and reached under the sofa, where a Desert Eagle was hidden.
Andrew was a little startled by Caesar's actions. He knew the Gattuso family members' habit of keeping their guns in convenient and concealed places.
"Young Master, that's not what I meant!" Andrew quickly stood up. "Don't shoot! It was the acting head of the family's order!"
Caesar frowned, his expression complex and somewhat ferocious.
“That old man Frost… sent you to my room late at night… to ask me if I was lonely?” Caesar’s hand was already gripping the grip of the Desert Eagle. “Is he insane?”
Andrew scratched his head: "It's not like that, I just wanted to get into this topic gradually!"
Caesar sighed and said, "Let's get straight to the point. I don't have time for these gradual tricks, unless you don't mind my Desert Eagle being one bullet short!"
“Alright!” Andrew sat down again and took a deep breath. “Since that’s the case, I’ll be frank. The acting head of the family wants to arrange a bride for you.”
"bride?"
Caesar was stunned; he suddenly realized that Andrew's gradual approach was very necessary.
Andrew nodded: "Actually, it wasn't the acting head of the family's idea. It was said that the family elders researched it and chose the most suitable bride for you!"
"Are you kidding me!" Caesar slammed his fist on the table. "Do I need my family to pick out a partner for me?"
"Please don't be angry! This is the decision of the elders!"
"Nonsense! Aren't those old guys in the Elder Council lying in cryogenic coffins? How could they have time to crawl out and discuss my marriage!"
"I don't know either; the acting head of the family told me."
“Where’s Percy?” Caesar asked. “Shouldn’t he be the one telling me this?”
“Hmm…” Andrew was speechless. “Secretary Percy is temporarily out of the loop, so I’ve come to convey the family’s message to you.”
Caesar shook his head: "Leave before I draw my gun!"
Andrew was nervous; he knew that the heir the family valued was quite rebellious.
However, even for others, hearing about arranged marriages in this era would elicit anger as their first reaction.
"Young Master, please calm down, I just..."
Caesar raised his voice: "Do I need to say it again?"
Andrew chickened out. He stood up shakily and walked toward the door: "Alright, young master, I'll take my leave now, but I think Chen Motong is a good girl."
Andrew had reached the door and was about to open it when he suddenly heard Caesar's voice behind him.
"Wait a minute, come back!"
Andrew was startled, a look of joy flashed across his face, and he quickly ran back.
"Young Master, you've come to your senses?"
"Who were you just talking about? Chen Motong?" Caesar asked.
“It’s her!” Andrew replied. “She’s the bride your family has prepared for you.”
"Really?" Caesar was clearly intrigued. "When?"
Andrew scratched his head: "You mean...when are we getting married?"
Caesar simply looked at Andrew.
"Well... you don't need to worry about that. The family will take care of everything. There's just one small problem left."
"what is the problem?"
Chen Motong agrees.
Caesar's excited expression froze on his face: "She hasn't agreed yet."
Andrew nodded awkwardly: "Actually, I came here today specifically for this matter!"
Caesar was silent for a moment: "Get out."
"Huh? I just got back?"
"I told you so!" Caesar roared, pulling out his gun and slamming it on the table!
Andrew was frightened by Caesar's angry expression: "Young Master! Don't be angry. I know you like Chen Motong. The family just happened to choose her as your bride. Now the family will help you!"
Caesar gritted his teeth, skillfully loaded the gun, and released the safety!
Andrew didn't dare say another word and ran away!
Andrew ran down the corridor toward the room, and his 237 subordinates, hearing the noise, opened the door, startling Andrew even more.
"Commander, what's wrong?" a subordinate asked with concern.
Andrew stormed into the room with his subordinates, slammed the door shut, and was breathing heavily.
"Are you alright?" the subordinate asked hurriedly. "What happened?"
"That Caesar!" Andrew exclaimed, still shaken. "You can't even talk to him nicely; he'll pull a gun at the slightest provocation!"
"Ah? Why?"
"Don't even mention it!" Andrew waved his hand. "I got scolded by the young master and almost lost my life there!"
"Impossible! Is the young master really that impulsive? How come it's just like the rumors?"
Andrew asked, "What rumor?"
The subordinate lowered his voice: "It's because of the young master's personality change, Commander, you don't know?"
Andrew asked curiously, "Tell me about it."
"Before going to university, Caesar stayed in the family. Back then, he was a willful and arrogant young nobleman."
Andrew nodded; there was no denying that Caesar's pride was written all over his face.
The subordinate whispered, "But later, Caesar went to university and was always overshadowed by Lin Chen. The girl he liked also liked Lin Chen, and it seems like he developed some psychological problems after that."
Andrew was terrified: "Are you crazy! How dare you speak ill of the young master!"
"Shh..." the subordinate quickly said, "We're all just employees, we're just chatting about gossip."
212: Caesar's gossip! A nobleman or a sycophant?
Andrew sighed.
As a member of the Gattuso family, it is very inappropriate to talk about the young patriarch behind his back.
But at this moment, Andrew looked miserable; he was just a miserable employee being oppressed by his boss.
“Tell me!” Andrew said. “I want to hear what gossip the young master has to say!”
The subordinate chuckled, finding it quite a pleasant experience to be able to chat with his boss.
"I heard all this from within the family, and many members are going crazy over it!" the subordinate said confidently. "Ever since Caesar entered Kassel College, he's been constantly overshadowed by Lin Chen!"
"Lin Chen goes without saying, right? He's an S-class member that Kassel College sees only once every few decades. His strength is undeniable; his achievements and battle record speak for themselves!"
"Caesar is also a person who doesn't give up easily, so he challenged Lin Chen to a duel, but he was repeatedly defeated by Lin Chen. In fact, he was depressed for a while before!"
"After all, he's such a proud person. When he meets someone he can't compare to, he's bound to feel a sense of loss."
"But no matter what, he recovered and came back. He probably realized the gap between himself and Lin Chen."
"Caesar has come to terms with the fact that he is not as strong as Lin Chen, but there is still one important thing that Caesar has not been able to get over."
Andrew asked curiously, "What is it?"
"Of course it's a girl!" The subordinate winked at Andrew. "They're all college students, how could their heads be filled with dragon slaying? It must be all about love and romance!"
Andrew frowned: "That doesn't sound right. Is Caesar the kind of person who would be restricted by love and romance?"
"Hey!" the subordinate insisted, "Commander, you don't understand. Caesar has always lived a life of luxury, and he could get whatever he wanted. But things are different now. The girl he likes doesn't like him. Don't you think he's itching to get back what he wants?"
Andrew said thoughtfully, "That makes sense! Continue!"
The subordinate was delighted; there was plenty of gossip about Caesar in the family, and he rattled off a whole bunch of stories to Andrew.
The subordinate was absolutely right about that.
Although Caesar appears proud and stubborn, he is quite the submissive type when it comes to love.
This is not because of the impact Lin Chen's appearance had on the Dragon Clan world.
Even in the original work, Caesar is present to some extent.
As the heir to the Gattuso family and president of the student council at Kassel College, Caesar has always taken a laissez-faire approach to love.
In the original work, Nono runs around the world and is often seen with her little brother Lu Mingfei, but Caesar doesn't care at all and lets Nono and his little brother be together.
Even later, when Nono was learning the customs of the Gattuso family on the island, she still followed Lu Mingfei without hesitation.
