Building a Viking Empire with Modern Industry - Chapter 119: Market Entry

The weak cry out with all their might, yet no one cares; The strong whisper softly, yet their words penetrate deeply into the heart. A Talent Tree ablaze with flames, every leaf bearing different spirit runes, Lu Ye, reduced to a mining slave after his sect was destroyed, used this to become a cultivator and stirred the winds of change in the Nine Provinces...

“Stop crying. I’ll marry you. Calm down.”Cold. Emotionless.That is Duke Morvex, the monster duke whose half-blood lineage comes from the terrifying wolf demons.And I, Valerie Austin, wake up in the same bed as him, the ruthless duke who should never have touched me.But the biggest problem isn’t that forbidden night…It’s the truth everyone in the empire already knows:Duke Morvex is engaged and soon to be married.
