Chapter 296 - 183 Matchmaking Gathering_2
In the past, Maximus had always been cordial to these two female leaders of the rebel army. Today marks the first time he lost his temper, making these two women, who were originally confident in their reasons, suddenly feel guilty.
Acronis mustered up the courage and softly argued, "Leader, I’m... I’m already so old, my kids are almost adults, why should I get married again? Besides, I’m about to become your Chief of Internal Affairs, where will I find the energy to care for another man?"
"Me too!" Karina quickly chimed in, "I’m also getting old, and now as the Chief Officer of the Civil Affairs Department, where will I find the time and energy to marry and have children!"
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Maximus agreed with their choice: Especially since Acronis was his Chief of Internal Affairs, if she really got married and had children, could he completely rely on her?
However, Maximus still put on a stern face and reprimanded, "I don’t care what reasons you both have. The current situation is, as leaders of these women, if neither of you takes the lead in setting an example, today’s matchmaking event is likely to be difficult to carry on smoothly! Don’t forget, in the earlier discussion, you both nodded in agreement, so whether you want to get married or not, you must sit in the venue!"
"Sister, let’s just go. We can just see it as watching the men, it’s no big deal!" Acronis steeled her nerves and walked directly into the venue.
Karina promptly followed without hesitation.
The two of them fiercely glared at the still clamoring women until they shut their mouths and then sat down arrogantly.
Maximus walked to the center of the venue. As the leader of a burgeoning tribe comprising tens of thousands of people, he had experienced many significant situations and was mentally very strong, but at the moment, he felt inexplicably nervous being watched by thousands of women.
He coughed lightly to calm himself down before loudly saying, "To all my sisters who have followed me from Italy, today is an exceptionally special day for you! From today on, you will no longer endure those days of oppression and enslavement, nor will you have to live with the fears of endless marching and constant battles. You will settle on this fertile land and enjoy a life of freedom and peace!
