Chapter 1347

Against Marriage

Sasha: Oh my God! What?!

Sebastian was silent.

Mr. Wand: Solomon? You’re in the group too now? That’s great.

Devin: A warm welcome to you, Solomon!

Sabrina: Glad you could finally join us!

Old Mr. Jadeson: Huh? The man himself is here too now? Nice going. Well, you guys go ahead with
the discussion. If you need me, just drop me a message. I have to go pick up my granddaughter now.

Solomon did not know how to reply.

He kept quiet for several moments. There were not a lot of people in the group, but the atmosphere
was lively. He had no idea what his opening line should be.

Sabrina: Hey. Aren’t you going to say anything? Everyone is concerned about you.

No words came from Solomon still.

After a long time, he finally typed several words out onto his screen and hit send.

Solomon: Thank you everyone, but there is no need to worry so much for me.

Sasha: Why not? Have you already prepared something? What is it?

At that, Sebastian sank into his thoughts.



After several seconds, Sabrina could sense that something was wrong. She quickly sent a message.

Sabrina: As if he prepared anything. His hands are completely empty. Earlier, I even asked him if he
was planning to just give money.

Mr. Wand: Money? That doesn’t seem appropriate. The Minamoto family is very prestigious. I doubt
they care how much money you can give.

Old Mr. Jadeson: Maybe give something more valuable? Back when I was marrying off Devin’s father, I
gave the other family a jade seal. Although it wasn’t a family relic, it was something that I had gotten
from the war. At the time, they were overjoyed with the gift.

Out of nowhere, Jonathan surfaced to talk about his story.

A jade seal? That’s a very hefty gift.

Everyone in the group was stunned silent, including Sabrina who was sitting at the side.

The Hayeses were definitely a wealthy family. However, due to the fact that Frederick passed away
early, Sabrina and Sebastian had no idea what valuables their family carried.

“Why don’t I give you my wine cellar?”

“What?”

“The wine cellar. I’ve collected all sorts of wines over the years. You have no idea, do you? This was
what I used to get in with the Jadesons previously when I had to rescue my brother.”

Even now, thinking of that incident made her flinch.

At the time, Jonathan had drunk a fair amount of her collection.



Solomon finally understood now. Immediately, he turned to look at her. For a moment, he did not know
what to say.

Who would give wine cellars as a gift?

This time around, he was trying to show his sincerity. If the Minamoto family prioritized material gifts,
then that was up to them. They had the right to deny the marriage.

Either way, Solomon was not planning to take it to heart.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the glamorous Minamoto residence, a servant dressed in a
Jetroinian traditional outfit came running over to him.

“Mr. Akiyama, Ms. Minamoto asked me to pass you this.”

She politely handed him a clean, white handkerchief.

Solomon stared at it confusedly.

After returning to his senses, he accepted it and opened it.

“What is this?”

Sabrina came over. Seeing the item enclosed in the handkerchief, she too revealed a puzzled
expression.

She had no idea what it was.

The item in question looked like a strand of hair. It was snow-white in color. When picked up, it was
cooling to the touch. Under the light, it was even slightly transparent.

Sebastian: That looks like zirconium wire.



Sabrina had uploaded the picture into the WhatsApp group chat. Sebastian, who rarely spoke,
suddenly identified the item.

Zirconium wire? What on Earth is that?

Everyone waited patiently for his explanation.

Sebastian: In Jetroina, after the nobles separated from the royal family, they would rely on the
excavation of minerals to make a living. If my guess is right, the Minamoto family probably specialized
in glassware manufacturing. This development can only be done with the use of zirconium wire. It’s
similar to how we locate oil fields. We need to use chemicals to find hints of its topographical features.

Sebastian took the time to explain everything in detail.

After reading his message, everyone was quiet.

After all, no one else was knowledgeable on the area.

It was very odd how someone who spent most of his time handling money would have such a deep
understanding of something so niche.

Sasha: Sebby, why would Ichika want to give this to him? Is it very rare?

Sebastian: Not really. However, it is rare to see it made into a wire, especially if it’s completely natural.
With a wire this pure, it’ll be much easier to locate minerals.

Devin: So, what you’re saying is Ichika gave it to Solomon on purpose. She was worried about her
family making things difficult with him.

Sabrina: Oh, I get it. I knew Ichika was on our side!



Beside her, the vein on Solomon’s forehead was bulging.

God. Can’t this woman use her brain? If this is really that hard to find, and I suddenly produce it, the
Minamoto family will obviously know that Ichika was the one who helped me get it.

Solomon felt his head pound.

In the end, he still had no choice but to bring it along with him because Sabrina was clutching onto it for
dear life.

When they reached the main hall, Solomon saw Ichika’s parents and her grandfather. Their
expressions toward him were not the kindest.

After all, he had asked them to take Ichika back previously.
