Chapter 757 I Have No Use For Worthless People In My Family

    Chapter 757 I Have No Use For Worthless People In My Family


    Inside the Ashford n''s Main Branch…


    "rk, exin yourself," ude said, sternly looking at his son who stood in front of him. "Why did you want our n to ally with the Leventis Family?"


    "Father, Zion is not someone our n can offend," rk replied in a solemn tone. "Although he''s a mere Rookie, he has done things no ordinary Rookie should be able to do. In fact, I think even Monarchs can''t replicate the feats he had aplished.


    "Isn''t that enough reason to avoid any conflicts with him? Having an alliance with the Leventis Family is very beneficial. Father, please, listen to me."


    ude frowned but didn''t say anything to undermine his son''s words. ude had his share of being on the receiving end of Zion''s notoriety, suffering defeat one after the other.


    The teenage boy was like a gremlin who would not hesitate to bite them whenever he was given a chance.


    "You''re scared of him?" ude asked, wanting to believe that his son wasn''t afraid of anyone, knowing that thetter once looked down on the Wanderers of his generation.


    However, rk''s answer made him feel as if cold water had been poured over his head.


    "Yes, Father," rk replied. "I''m afraid of Zion Leventis. We don''t stand a chance against him whether in open or underhanded conflicts."


    At that moment, an arrogant voice spread inside the room, making rk feel as if a pressure as heavy as a mountain descended on his shoulder, forcing him to kneel.


    "Are you saying that the Ashford n should submit to a mere child?" Aaron Ashford''s cold voice spread inside the room, making ude worry for his son''s safety.


    "Father, please forgive rk," ude said. "He''s still young and doesn''t understand anything."


    "No," rk said through gritted teeth. "I understand everything. Grandpa, we can''t fight against Zion. We just can''t—arghhh!"


    "I didn''t say you can talk, rk," Aaron said, increasing the pressure, which forced the young man to lower his head on the floor, unable to raise it up. "You disappoint me. To think that I had high hopes for you. It seems that I spoiled you rotten, that you''ve be weak."


    rk wanted to refute his grandfather''s words, but he was worried that if he said more, his Grandfather would lose all reason and smash his head like a watermelon.


    In the end, he bit his lips in frustration until blood spilled from it.


    "Father, please, don''t hurt him too much," ude pleaded. "He''s still young."


    What he got as a reply was a snort, but the pressure weighing down on rk disappeared instantly.


    "Don''t worry about these trivial things," Aaron stated. "The only thing you need to worry about is winning the tournament. If you don''t win, I will disown you. Do I make myself clear?"


    "F-Father, are you serious?!" ude asked in disbelief. "rk is your grandchild. How can you—"


    "Because I can," Aaron interjected, cutting off his son''s rebuttal. "Do not forget, Son. You might be the Patriarch of the Ashford n, but that''s only because I allowed you to take that seat.


    "One word from me, and your other brothers will take your ce. However, since you''ve done a good job in handling the n''s matters, I will turn a blind eye to this once. Make sure not to offend me again. Do I make myself clear?"


    "Yes, Father," ude replied, sighing internally. "The Leventis Family, especially Arthur Leventis, is a thorn in our side," Aaron dered. "Unless he submits and bes one of our retainers, an alliance is impossible between our two Factions. As for that Zion brat… I''ll deal with him after the Jinn invasion in the Cygni Continent.


    "His usefulness would be exhausted by then, and there will no longer be any need to keep him around."


    Aaron then nced at rk, who was still kneeling on the floor, before turning around to leave.


    "Remember, if you don''t win this tournament, you will be expelled from the family," Aaron said icily. "I have no use for worthless people in my family."


    He didn''t even bother to wait for rk''s reply before leaving the roompletely.


    ude hurriedly helped his son to his feet and helped him sit on the couch.


    He then offered him a ss of water, which thetter gratefully epted.


    "No more talks about this alliance with the Leventis Family, you hear?" ude said with a grim expression on his face. "While I sympathize with you, you heard what your Grandfather said.


    "With a word from him, you will be expelled from the family, and my right to be a Patriarch will be revoked. Whatever things that you want to say can wait until you win the tournament. For now, that should be your one and only goal. Do you understand, son?"


    rk smiled bitterly before nodding in understanding.


    "I understand, Father," rk replied sadly. "But don''t worry. I already have Zion''s promise that he will not hurt you, Mother, and my siblings. He is a person of his word, so our family will be safe. Whatever grievance he had with Grandfather has nothing to do with us."


    "Son, are you really nning to get both of us killed?" ude said anxiously, ncing at the door where his father had left. "No more talks about this, understood? "Whatever you have inside your head regarding Zion and the Leventis Family, keep it firmly locked inside your head, and do not let it out. Do you understand?"


    "Understood, Father," rk replied with dim eyes. ''Fine. Since Grandfather doesn''t care about us, I won''t care about him either.''


    rk could vaguely tell that Zion had something against the Ashford n. However, since he explicitly said that he wouldn''t target rk and his family, with the exception of his Grandfather, that meant that they would escape this conflict that had nothing to do with them.


    rk had seen things others can''t. He had heard things that others don''t.


    Those were enough to make him realize that the mighty Ashford n was not as strong as he initially expected.


    Back then, he thought that with his family''s background and influence, he could do anything and look down on anyone, for he belonged to the Ashford n.


    But he had been humbled. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Humbled by a teenage boy who was a few years younger than him and was stuck in the Rookie Rank.


    But that "weakling" wielded authority and influence that would make the Monarch ns seem like a joke.


    Fortunately, his eyes had been opened, and he now understood the reality that was hidden behind the faint smile on Zion''s face.


    Right now, rk didn''t care about what would happen in the Ashford n.


    As long as his family was safe, he no longer cared for whatever grievances Zion had against their n.


    However, one thing was clear.


    The moment the teenage boy made his move, everything that the Ashford n had built over the past hundreds of years woulde crumbling down like a house made up of cards.


    So what if they had a Monarch?


    In the face of a Rank 9 Sovereign, a Monarch was nothing.


    Since that was the case, how could they possibly stand against not one, not two, but three existences whose strength surpassed that of a Rank 9 Sovereign?


    A chuckle escaped rk''s lips, making ude, who was beside him, look at his son as if he had gone crazy.


    What ude didn''t know was that theughter that came from rk was actually augh of relief, knowing that they would not be included in the cmity that would befall their family the moment Zion Leventis finally decided to make his move.
