Engagement was not like marriage. There were not many complex ceremonies to

observe, but rather, everyone gathered together, and then the food and wine were

served for all to enjoy.

It was not a very formal occasion, so when Li Du invited Steve and Porter, he didn’t

expect both of them to come. The distance might be not much for Porter, who lived in

Los Angeles, but it was too far for Steve, who was from the Northeast of America.

In the end, Steve came anyway, showing his loyalty to Li Du.

This kind of party was supposed to give everyone a chance to get together. Sophie’s

father made a toast on behalf of both parents. After announcing the engagement of Li

Du and Sophie, both parties raised a glass to celebrate, and then they could proceed

with their own activities.

The importance of family connections in American society was evident from the fact that

Porter and Steve were in the center of attention, with Cole and the others surrounding

them.

Li Du introduced the Son of God and the Magic Hand to them. It would be meaningless

to introduce the treasure hunters, as the two sides were not from the same circle.

The five little ones mixed in the crowd to find food. Someone provoked Ah Meng and it

started to stomp.

“That’s a funny little dog.” someone laughed.

Li Du broke out in a cold sweat. “It is a beast of prey, OK? Not a dog. Haven’t you heard

of honey badgers?”

Sophie took out the honey to appease Ah Meng. She stroked Ah Meng’s flat head and

smiled at Li Du. “Ah Meng does not know who stepped on its foot so it was throwing a

tantrum by itself.”

This was the result of the transformation in the honey badger’s mind. Previously, if Ah

Meng was not sure who provoked it, it would just start biting everyone around.

The five little ones did not stay in one spot. They moved around, causing many jokes

and contributing to the atmosphere of the event.

Li Du knew these little ones were not easy to handle, so he kept an eye on them just in

case.

At that point, Steve stepped away from the circle of Cole and the others. He came up

with a glass of wine and motioned to Li Du, “Hi, Li, congratulations on your engagement.

Cheers!”

Li Du toasted him. He thought Steve would only drink a sip, but unexpectedly he

emptied the entire glass in one gulp.

Seeing this, Li Du hurriedly said, “Drink slowly, Steve, be careful of your body.”

.

Steve smiled and flexed his muscles as he curled up his arms and said, “I’m fine now.

I’ve been on a new medication since I came back from Australia. If I take it constantly,

my heart will be fine.”

Li Du drained his glass as well and said, “Then let’s drink to your health as well as to my

engagement.”

Steve smacked his lips and said, “Actually, not only did I change to more effective

medication, but I’ve been exercising for some time now. By the way, I heard you went to

Africa?”

Li Du nodded. “Yes, I had been to Africa and found a diamond mine there.”

He felt that Steve had taken a hard turn and that there was a little too much sincerity

and warmth in his manner.

Steve exclaimed. “I have heard of it. This is unbelievable! You actually found a diamond

mine.”

Li Du said with a polite smile, “It was just luck. I saved a pygmy who happened to know

about diamond mines. How else could I find one?”

Steve asked, “Do you have any plans for adventure now?”

Li Du was stunned, and echoed, “Adventure?”

Steve said, “Yeah, you had gone to Australia and Africa. Aren’t you an adventurer? You

are also good friends with the Adventurer King Tang. You are both adventurers, right?”

Li Du blinked. He could not understand what Steve was talking about, so he repeated,

“The Adventurer king Tang?”

Suddenly, he realized who Steve must have meant. “Tang Chaoyang? Song Biaozi? A

guy a little younger than me?”

Steve nodded quickly. “Yes, that’s him, the Adventurer King Tang.”

“I don’t know him very well,” said Li Du. “Maybe you don’t believe it, but I don’t even

know what he does. He’s mysterious.”

Steve smiled and nodded again. “I believe you. You are right, he is mysterious. Of

course, he’s a very good fellow, too!”

Based on Steve’s previous words and his interest, Li Du thought about this for a while

and tentatively asked, “Do you want to go on an adventure?”

Steve’s face turned serious. He nodded and said, “All of us in the Tussenberg family are

adventurers. Since I was a child, I have dreamed of going to some mysterious places

and experience the magnificent and amazing nature.”

Li Du remembered that when he was in Australia, Steve was eager to accompany him

to the mine. He did not understand why Steve had such an interest.

Now, listening to him, Li Du understood that Steve liked adventures, and finding a mine

was exciting. It was all about the thrill.

Li Du didn’t know the Tussenberg family. He knew that Steve had something to do with

the Vanderbilts, who were in the transportation business, but he didn’t know much about

anything else.

He was silent for a moment. “You want to go on an adventure? It might be dangerous.”

“I know, but risk and reward tend to go hand in hand. Wouldn’t it be great to take a risk

and see a lot of things that you had only imagined and make money at the same time,

just like you?” Steve cut him off.

Li Du didn’t quite understand. “Why do you want to take risks? No offense, I’m serious,

Steve. Your family has status and money. You have everything. You don’t lack

anything, so why do you want to go on an adventure?”

Steve stared at him and asked, “What about you? Why do you like adventures?”

“I don’t,” laughed Li Du.

“I know all about your experience of looking for diamond mines in Africa, dealing with

two warlords and overthrowing one of them.”

Li Du did not know how to explain, and could only say, “I did not go there to look for

adventure, I went to Africa because I had no choice.”

Steve looked disappointed upon listening to this and said, “So I guess I misunderstood

you.”

“Do you want to go on an adventure just because life is too boring?” asked Li Du.

Steve shook his head. “No, that’s only one of the reasons. There are others. My family’s

legacy, my hobby, and my ambition.”

He sighed and said helplessly, “I thought you were an adventurer like Tang. I wanted to

ask you for help. Looks like that will not be possible.”

Li Du said, “What’s the matter? I’ll be glad to help you.”

“Nothing,” said Steve listlessly. “I’m going to the North Pole, but I can’t do it myself, so I

need adventurers to help me.”
