《Arrogant Young Master becomes an Adventurer》8. Marriage -Lyonhall Arc
Advertisement
Jakari stopped moving and slumped into the grand bed. The extreme softness had melted away all his worries and he soon fell asleep. He wasn’t even sleeping in the bed properly either as the covers were underneath him, he does not know the concept of using a blanket. His family was constantly on the move, so his mother had conjured up a soft fluffy cloud for her family to sleep on as there wasn’t anything appropriate they could use as a bed. When their mother had to be away from the family, Jakari and his sisters had to gather up whatever soft material lying around and sleep in it, like leaves or spare clothes if they had any.
All the girls were astonished that Jakari wanted to do nothing with them. They quickly went to sleep on the various luxurious couches that adorn the room with spare blankets and pillows. The 2nd eldest daughter approached the grand bed and tried to properly tuck her soon-to-be husband into bed properly but a deathly aura was emanating from Jakari and if she crosses the invisible barrier, she would be instantly obliterated so she refrained from doing so.
The same day, 9:00 am.
Jakari woke up with a refreshed and calm mind. The solution to his problem was obvious! He can lie to his mother about having 7 ugly wives and hide them somewhere so his mother will never find out while remaining as a proper adventurer! However, to appease his mother, his motivation in finding his one true wife went from 0% to 1%.
The 2nd eldest daughter was already awake patiently waiting for him. She quickly woke up her sisters and they all gather at Jakari’s bedside. They bow respectfully towards Jakari. “Good morning dearest husband!”
Because Jakari had never communicated with them in any capacity, the girls had made incorrect assumptions about their situation and Jakari. The conclusion that the girls arrived at about Jakari last night was that he was only ignoring them to protect them! They all believed that Jakari was most likely collecting more evidence of their father’s wrong-doing! If Jakari told the girls what he was doing, the information could leak out and ruin his investigations! As the girl were far too weak to be able to defend the secrets that they had been entrusted with. It could also spell disaster for Jakari if their father were to call in favors from powerful shady people to deal with Jakari. In their mind, Jakari was only pretending to marry them and pretending to accept his bribe so he could use them as evidence for their father’s corruption. They had all seen many other shrewd and clever terrible men over the years at this mansion but none of them came close to the monstrous genius of Jakari. Even their father had the wools pulled over his eyes from Jakari’s perfect facade!
The fire in their souls was burning brilliantly as they will finally achieve justice and freedom with Jakari! This is why they were all eager to show goodwill towards their savior.

Jakari couldn’t care less about what these trash wives are doing. They were sucking up to him just like many other people in the town. At least it was better than the trash trying to mess with him. It wasn’t like he couldn’t completely ignore them either as he had to be a proper adventurer.
Jakari ordered, “follow me.”
They all walked together out of the grand room with the trash wives following closely behind them. The 2nd eldest daughter who was 19 years old was steadily falling deeper in love with this mysterious diamond-ranked guild inspector who was saving them and treating them so kindly. If she knew that Jakari was younger than her and only 18 years old, she would be so shocked that such a young man was already diamond-ranked at his age! They all thought Jakari was using some high-level skill to appear young. She quickly grabbed onto the bag containing 500 silvers as she thought Jakari had forgotten to bring it with him when in reality, Jakari had zero ideas he had been bribed 500 silver coins.
As the security team and servants saw Jakari and the girls leaving, they all gave a respectful deep bow towards Jakari. The girls were feeling excited and nervous about leaving the mansion for the first time. When they saw their father, most of them looked towards the ground with only the eldest and 2nd eldest looking defiantly at their father.
“So Jacari, you will be informing me the intel at what is happening at the guild’s main headquarters,” queried the guild-master.
Jakari didn’t know what he was talking about and he wanted to be a proper adventurer so he nodded a ‘yes’ towards the guild-master.
“Very good! You may go,” said the guild-master.
They soon left through the mansion’s main doors. The trash wives were amazed at Jakari’s smoothness and tried following closely behind him as they felt safe under his protection, especially the 2nd eldest daughter doing her best to gain Jakari’s attention.
Jakari didn’t sprint back to the guild-hall and took his time walking back to the guild-hall. Many passersby gawk at Jakari and his harem as the news of Jakari being a diamond-ranked guild inspector had already spread towards the rest of Lyonhall. One of the young snaggers saw his master walking with a group of beauties behind him and immediately went off to tell the rest of Jakari’s loyal minions.
Before they make it to the guildhall, the guild-master already ordered the guildhall to give Jakari the highest VIP treatment possible and to waive all fees for him.
As they finally made it into the guildhall, all eyes were on Jakari and his beauties. All the young snaggers were cheering loudly and praising their great master for obtaining so many beauties so easily! They all wanted to emulate Jakari with all of them failing at it. There were many mixed reactions among the adventurers but none of them dared to provoke Jakari or get close to him. Everyone was steadily moving out of his way. All the trashs were giving Jakari massive respect.

Jakari ordered his ugly wives. “Do whatever you want, be back here by nightfall.” Then he ditched his harem and went to look at the wood-rank quest bulletin board.
The beauties were very confused on what to do as this was the first time they ventured out of the mansion. The eldest daughter quickly led everyone to sit at the restaurant portion of the guildhall. However, only the 2nd eldest daughter went to follow Jakari as they were given the order to do anything they like. The harem members thought that Jakari had important work to do and the eldest daughter was ordering food for everyone to eat and drink. All the other adventurers and the young snaggers left them completely alone as they didn’t want to make trouble for the diamond-ranked guild inspector.
As Jakari was examining the wood-rank quest bulletin board. Everyone cleared the way for him. Guild staff members immediately ran in to assist him. With all this special treatment from the trash, Jakari was quickly accepting all of it. He decided to take the ones that were furthest away from him as he always took the closest quest to him yesterday.
The 2nd eldest daughter said, “dearest husband Jacari, my name is Melissa and I am only 19 years old. Please let me help you!”
Jakari looked at his side and was staggered, his mother’s advice wasn’t working. She always told him that there would always be rotten vixens trying to seduce him and the best way to deal with them was to simply ignore them completely and they will quickly give up on him. Jakari made sure to show zero interest and never ever look at the ugly wives in the eyes and always treat them harshly as they never existed. So there was no way for them to ever show interest in Jakari. He did not know why so many trash women keep going for him despite him doing his best to neglect them. Unfortunately, the ugly wives thought of Jakari’s coldness towards them was to serve as a barrier to protect them. And this woman was one of his wives rewarded from the guild-master for being promoted into the mid-wood rank so he had to give her some face.
“No need. Go back to your sisters,” ordered Jakari.
“I-I understood! Sorry to bother you!” said the 2nd eldest daughter trash as she ran back to her sisters. She realized she still have his 500 silver coins and probably thought Jakari wanted her to hold them for him. She felt firm resolve to never let her dearest husband down and would defend this piece of bribery evidence.
Jakari quickly snatched the quest he wanted and ignored the guild-staff members from trying to help him. When he made his way to the queue for the guild receptionists, all the adventurers were chased away from the guild officers as they all bowed before him. Jakari had free reign to choose any guild receptionist to serve him. The other adventurers that trash-talked Jakari yesterday were feeling intense remorse for offending a very important person. And the others who praised him were amazed at the intense aura that Jakari was commanding.
Jakari saw that Celine was working today so it would be a good opportunity to apologize to her as he should not provoke the guild in any way. He walked up to her to everyone’s amazement as they all knew he was the one who slapped Celine in the face.
At first, Celine was heartbroken, then extremely angry at him, but now after finding out that he was the diamond-ranked guild inspector, it made sense that he wouldn’t be interested in her. Jakari was now actively parading his harem of beauties around too and she felt disgusted at him when she saw the younger girls. She wouldn’t let personal matters get in the way of her professionalism.
“How can I help you Sir Jacari,” bowed Celine.
“Sorry for slapping you in the face. Read this quest for me.”
The heartstrings in Celine’s heart tugged hard and she felt herself falling for her first love once again. She tried to control herself to not feel love anymore but it came bursting out. Celine had to take several deep breaths before she could do the task Jakari requested for her.
“Collect 1,000 slime cores. The reward is 1 copper coin. You shoul-”
Celine wanted to tell Jakari he shouldn’t accept this shoddy quest but 1000 slime cores had instantly appeared on the counter. The other guild-staff members quickly got over there to count it up for him and put it in the guild depository for him. Jakari might as well use these guild-staff assistants since they were all eager to help him. His guild id-card was already on the table. Celine quickly regained her focus from the surprise instant quest clearing skill he had even though she had been warned about it already.
One of Celine's coworkers lightly punched her in the arm while glaring at her. Celine jolted awake that she had forgotten something truly important. "Sir Jacari, please call up your wives and sign this marriage document."
Instead of Jakari fetching for his wives. He gestured at one of the guild staff assistants and he immediately knew what Jakari wanted and it was to bring his wives over for him. The young snaggers had seen their master’s command and rushed to fulfill his orders as they scramble over to where his wives were sitting at. But the guild lackeys had already accomplished Jakari’s order before they could even help their master! As the guild lackeys were all at the bronze rank with the young snaggers being wood rank trash. The young snaggers team grew in anger that their place as Jakari’s minions was being taken over by the guild lackeys!
Jakari was starting to see the usefulness of trash, they were making his lives very convenient although he could have instantly brought them over himself, his father wanted him to not show his power to trash if he could and stay low-key.
