Chapter 55

The next day was the last day before the wedding. The weather in Oplen was very strange the previous

day. It rained from time to time. At three or four o’clock in the morning, there had been some rain. But

this morning, Oplen ushered in a sunny day with blue sky and white clouds. The weather was very

good. At eight o’clock in the morning, when the people who did not notice the changes from the

previous night walked out of their houses and opened the windows, they were all shocked by the

scenery. There were rose petals everywhere. Some of them were red, and some of them were white.

At this moment, the whole city was filled with the fragrance of roses, which made people feel refreshed.

Oplen was close to a large, clear river, and there were rose petals on the water. On the river, there

were exquisite boats while splendid hot air balloons rose in the air. The streets of Oplen were also

covered with roses overnight. On both sides of the street, there were young, good-looking volunteers

preparing for the arrival of the bridal couples for the Hundred Cities Wedding of the central region.

From that day on, almost 80% of the companies in Oplen would have a three-day holiday, and the

school’s management would also have a three-day holiday. All the restaurants and hotels in Oplen

would also offer discounts, or things would be free of charge when the consumption was less than a

certain amount. The three-day benefits made people in Oplen very excited. At half past eight in the

morning, at the city gates of Oplen, bridal couples began to enter the city. The grooms were all dressed

in black suits, and the brides also wore beautiful wedding dresses. The happy couples held hands and

stepped through the gates. At this moment, the whole city was completely shocked, because if a

couple was walking on the street, it would not attract much attention. But today, there were a total of

1314 bridal couples. More than a thousand brides and grooms entered the city together. The queue

alone was three kilometers long, and there were thousands of bridesmaids and groomsmen behind

them. There was also one thing that was very important. These 1314 people came to participate in the

Hundred Cities Wedding. During the selection process, all the chosen grooms were handsome and the

brides were pretty..

There had been beauties since ancient times in the Central Region of the Long State. As such,

countless beautiful brides were among the 1314 couples. Any one of them was extremely beautiful,

and some of them were even campus belles. Their looks were all outstanding. They entered from the

main entrance of Oplen and walked to the central axis of the city. On the central main road, there were

red rose petals on the ground, and on both sides of the street were roses that were in full bloom last

night. The rose petals had been scattered down from the sky. On both sides of the road, countless

media reporters were crazily taking photos of them. Even many powerful media groups directly used

helicopters to take photos of the scene. The decoration in Oplen made the brides and grooms who

came to attend the wedding even more excited. The entire city was filled with a romantic atmosphere.

Among the couples, many of them had come to Oplen for the first time. But before they stepped into

the main gates, they were already astonished. At this moment, the couples walking on the central road

of Oplen would probably never forget this day. They would always remember that they could have such

a romantic and grand wedding in their lives! At this moment, all the couples who had come to attend

the Hundred Cities wedding were surprised, and so were the millions of people in Oplen. They couldn’t

imagine what kind of person could prepare such a grand wedding for his loved one! He had decorated

the entire large city into such a romantic wedding venue…

They were willing to attend this grand wedding, but also very grateful to the host who had invited them

and given them countless gifts. At the same time, they also sincerely congratulated the bride who

would show up the next day. However, neither they nor the locals in Oplen knew who the bride would

be the next day. The only news they got was that the bride was from Oplen. This news made the

people in Oplen extremely proud. Huh, the main bride of the Hundred Cities wedding was a girl from

Oplen! At this moment, all the brides who had come to attend the Hundred Cities wedding, and all the

women from Oplen were filled with blessings and admiration for that bride. Soon, as time went by, the

identity of the groom was finally revealed by the Gempoint Group and the Mysticorps Group. The

groom was a soldier! He was a strong and brave soldier from the battlefield! Boom… When the identity

of the groom was slightly revealed, the people in Oplen were shocked again. All those brides from the

Hundred Cities’ wedding were also astonished. The mysterious groom was a romantic, brave soldier.

And now, everyone was fantasizing about the romantic love story of the Hundred Cities’ main bridal

couple… “How much love does he love her… He came back from the battlefield… And now he’s using

an entire city to hold a grand wedding for her…” At this moment, many of the emotional brides also felt

moved to tears! “Aww, she will be so happy in life! She’s the hostess of this city! How blessed!”

Countless people in Oplen felt proud and also sincerely gave their blessings to this

main bride of the Hundred Cities Wedding the next day…

.….

At the same time, in Bethany Parry’s room in Apren City… Bethany opened her eyes in the early

morning and did not even change her pajamas. She lay in bed and took her mobile phone to watch the

live broadcast from Oplen, which made her extremely envious. When she saw the roses covering the

city, and all the bridal couples entering the city she wanted to call her best friend, Paige to ask about it.

But in the end, she suppressed the urge, because, amongst the thousand pairs of bridal couples, there

was no sign of Paige. Moreover, Paige already had a child. In Bethany’s heart, no matter how grand

the Hundred Cities wedding was, it had nothing to do with Paige. Even if she called Paige, there was

nothing else but to bring further sadness to Paige, so she did not call… While Bethany was watching

the live broadcast, her father, Logan, suddenly called her and said that she would be home in half an

hour. He asked her to pack up and go out with him. Before Bethany could ask further, her father hung

up the phone. Bethany reluctantly turned off the live broadcast and quickly dressed up. After she

finished, Logan also returned home with several exquisite clothes and shoeboxes in his hand. “Dad?

Where are you going? Why did you buy me clothes? What’s up?” Bethany looked at Logan and asked

in confusion. Logan looked at his daughter with a smile and said, “What’s up? Let’s talk about it later.

Bethany, do you know about the Hundred Cities wedding that is going to be held in Oplen tomorrow?”

Bethany nodded. “Yes, I do.” Logan continued with a smile, “Well, do you want to go?” Bethany pursed

her lips and said, “Dad, don’t tease me. No one has proposed to me. I don’t even have a boyfriend.

How could I participate in it? Besides, they have all chosen their pairs already. 1314 bridal couples and

even bridesmaids have all been selected! How could Ijoin?” Logan slowly replaced his smile with a

serious look. He looked deeply at his daughter and said slowly, “Do you really think that even the

bridesmaids for the Hundred Cities wedding have all been selected?” Bethany nodded without thinking.

“Of course, otherwise, I would have watched the live broadcast just now. Uh… Of course, dad, if you

insist, the main bride of the Hundred Cities wedding hasn’t appeared yet, so naturally, her bridesmaids

have not too. Uh… wait! D-Dad… What do you mean? Don’t tell me you want me to be her

bridesmaid?” Logan nodded with a faint smile and said, “Well, why not?”

Bethany was stunned. After a long while, she said uneasily, “Dad, don’t joke with me, okay? I don’t

know her. Do you know her? Don’t fool around, Dad..”. Logan continued to nod and said, “Well, I know

her, and you also know her. As my beautiful daughter, can’t you be her bridesmaid?” Bethany felt that

Logan was joking with her. She was a little speechless and said, “Dad! I said, don’t joke! The main

bride of the Hundred Cities wedding is from Oplen! How many people do I even know in Oplen? Paige

is the only one! Moreover, Paige just returned to Oplen a few days ago, and now she is with that guy

called Joseph Dawson…” While Bethany was talking, she suddenly felt that something was wrong and

she suddenly had an epiphany. Yes, the news reported that the main groom of the Hundred Cities

wedding was a brave soldier who came back from the battlefield and Joseph was one! Most

importantly, she suddenly thought of how her father Logan never joked with her, let alone joke about

such a big thing! The next moment, Bethany suddenly looked at Logan, only to see him nod very

seriously at this moment. With a complex gaze, he said, “Bethany, your best friend has been living a

very hard life these years. Now let me ask you again, are you willing to be her bridesmaid tomorrow?

Because Mr. Dawson asked to keep it a secret. Until now, all the bridal couples of the Hundred Cities

Wedding have entered the city. But Miss Mooney, she still has no idea that she is the main bride

tomorrow!” “What? Dad! Dad! Is what you said true? Is Paige really the main bride of tomorrow’s

wedding? And the mysterious groom is Joseph? Dad! Don’t lie to me!” Bethany suddenly stood up. At

this moment, she was shocked. She never thought that she knew the main bride of the Hundred Cities

wedding, and it was her best friend! At this time, Logan took a deep breath, and his gaze was more

complex. He said to Bethany with some sadness, “Bethany, did you really think that I could have

stopped Brandon Kennedy and the Kennedy that time on my own? Or do you really think that the

Kennedy family whom the Police Department couldn’t take down for more than a decade, was

completely destroyed overnight?” “Thump, thump, thump.” Hearing Logan’s words, Bethany

involuntarily stepped back and opened her mouth wide. Now the doubts that had troubled her for many

days had finally been solved. Because she had always suspected how the Parry family and the Police

Department could destroy the Kennedy family, which had been in Apren City for many years, by

themselves? Moreover, after that, the Parry family had annexed all the forces of the Kennedy family in

one day and had not been hindered at all! It turned out that all of this was because of Joseph. “Then…

then… Joseph, who… who is he?” Bethany swallowed hard and said to Logan Logan took another

deep breath and said with infinite respect in his eyes, “Bethany, have you heard of the God of War of

Frogua? Who protected Frogua from the outer territories?” “Th-this… H-he is the God of War of

Frogua? He… he…” Bethany stuttered in shock. A huge wave surged in her heart. At this moment, her

mind was echoing. Previously, when she tried her best to persuade Joseph to run away, Joseph’s eyes

were extremely calm. Yes, in front of a War God of Froguo, especially the most powerful outer region

God of War, even if all the forces in Apren City were added together, what could they do, let alone just

the Kennedy family? Logan’s gaze became extremely complicated as he said, “Yes, but because he

destroyed all the Kennedy family and violated the laws of the military, he has been removed from the

military…” What Logan said was what Alpha 1 told him to say. At present, Joseph’s identity could only

be revealed to this extent. So he could only say so much. “He fought a bloody battle outside the

country, guarded the national borders, fought on the battlefield countless times, and became the God of

War. But his wife and daughter were humiliated inside the country. Bethany, what would you do if you

were Joseph?” Logan said in a hoarse voice. Hmm… Bethany burst into tears. She opened her mouth

with difficulty, only to find that she couldn’t say anything and could only stand there in a daze… Logan

got up and passed the items he bought from Usmait to Bethany. It was a bridesmaid dress and high

heels worth more than a million yuan and had them sent to Bethany’s room. He said to Bethany,

“Bethany, go and try the clothes. If it’s not suitable, let’s change it quickly. Tomorrow, Joseph has

carefully prepared a grand wedding for Miss Mooney. We don’t want to cause any flaws for them…”

“Dad, the Kennedy family should be killed, should be destroyed! Is the military really so heartless that

they don’t even give Joseph a chance? He is the War God of Frogua!!!” Bethany said to Logan with

injustice. Logan, who was about to leave, paused and said, “The high-level officials of the Frogua’s Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

military naturally left it for Mr. Dawson, but he asked for this on his own initiative. When he was in the

battle outside the country, he didn’t know that he had harassed Miss Mooney on the night of his serious

injury, and he didn’t know that he had a daughter, so he wouldn’t go back now. He just wanted to

accompany his wife and daughter… Bethany, you must keep it a secret…” After saying that, Logan

sighed deeply and went out. He gave his daughter space to change her clothes and digest the news.

However, his heart trembled even more. For Joseph to return to the military and become a God of

War? How could it be? In the future, if Joseph went to the military, he would be the supreme

commander of the entire Frogua military, and the successor of Sebastian Parks, the fourth elder of

Frogua… would that day come? Logan was extremely excited… If that day came, how excited would

he be! Half an hour later, in Bethany’s room, she had changed into a white off-shoulder bridesmaid

dress. In the mirror, she was very beautiful. But she felt that her best friend would definitely be more

beautiful. She would be the most amazing main bride of the Hundred Cities wedding tomorrow. For

sure. “Paige, haha… You will be blessed in the future…” A teardrop fell from Bethany’s face, and she

deeply wished her good friend who had been grieving for many years…

In Oplen, at about five o’clock in the afternoon, on the riverside in the north where Joseph and Paige

met for the first time five years ago… At this moment, the depressed Paige was strolling with Joseph.

“Joseph, we met here five years ago, didn’t we?” She pointed to a place by the river and asked Joseph.

Joseph nodded. “Well, at that time, if you hadn’t saved me, I would have died.” After Joseph finished

speaking, both of them fell silent. This was the first time they met each other. Time seemed to turn back

to five years ago. At that time, Paige had just finished college. She was so full of vitality and sunshine,

so beautiful. But five years later, she was so haggard and tired… Her five years of youth passed like

this, and it was extremely miserable… “I’m sorry…” Joseph looked at Paige who was full of tiredness in

front of him and said with great heartache. Paige did not say anything. She just shook her head and

continued to remain silent. Looking at the flourishing Oplen in front of her, no one knew what she was

thinking at the moment. Was it her own youth? Was it her own life? Was it Chloe? Or Joseph? No one

knew… After a long silence, she suddenly turned around and looked at Joseph seriously, saying,

“Joseph, let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate now!” However, Joseph

shook his head seriously. “No..” “Huh? Jo… Joseph, what… what do you mean? You don’t want to

register your marriage with me?” Paige was suddenly stunned. This was because Joseph had

proposed marriage with her first. However, when she proposed to get her marriage certificate, Joseph

rejected her? Did he reject her?! Joseph looked at her very seriously. Looking at her standing in front of

the river he said seriously, “I have something to do later. Can we do it tomorrow?” Paige frowned. In her

heart, what else was more important than getting the marriage certificate? But since Joseph said so,

she didn’t know what to say. She just sighed secretly and then went back alone in disappointment…

Joseph silently looked at her figure retreating, which was full of fatigue and sadness.

“Paige, I’m sorry. As for marriage and getting the marriage certificate, how could I, Joseph, let you bring

it up first? Besides, I have not even proposed to you. Just wait for one more night, okay? Just one more

night, that’s enough. How can I let you down… No, I’ll never… I’m sorry…” Joseph murmured in his

heart as he watched Paige walk away.
