Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Back then, Calder was not that outstanding in the family, and the strength of the sixth bloodline was not strong either. It could only be considered to be below average.

At that time, regardless of strength or foundation, Calder could not be compared to his other competitors.

But why was Calder able to take the position of the patriarch?

That was all because of Audrey’s mother. Audrey’s mother had a mysterious background and was extremely powerful.

She was not from Spark City, nor was she from the Jones Empire.

Why did she fall in love with Calder and eventually marry and have children with him?

It was said that this was a beautiful encounter. Back then, when Calder was on a mission in the mountain range of magic beasts, he accidentally picked up the severely injured and unconscious Audrey’s mother. At that time, Audrey’s mother was very injured, and she was on the verge of death.

However, Audrey’s father did not give up. He tried his best to save her. After a few months of careful care and rescue, he miraculously saved Audrey’s mother.

And after a few months of living together, Audrey’s father took care of her meticulously, causing the two young people to have a spark of love.

After Audrey’s mother married into the Davis family, she quickly displayed her powerful strength.

At that time, Audrey’s mother was almost the strongest person in the family. No one could match her.

In fact, no one in the entire Spark City was a match for Audrey’s mother.

At that time, the Davis family could be said to be incomparably glorious. For a time, they were almost promoted to the number one family in Spark City.

And the young and promising Calder, who was in the prime of his life, also unquestionably took the position of the patriarch.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When Audrey was five years old, her mother mysteriously disappeared. No one knew where she had gone, and no one knew if she was alive or dead.

After that day, she never returned.

Without the support and help of Audrey’s mother, the position of Calder’s patriarch was not so easy to sit on.

And the sixth bloodline they belonged to was weakening at a breakneck speed.

In the past few years, some ambitious people in the family had always wanted to drive Calder away from the position of patriarch. This time, they were targeting Audrey to target Calder. But, in fact, it had nothing to do with Audrey.

“Father, what if I participate in the five families’ young people competition and get a good ranking?”

Audrey suddenly said. This incident was indeed a power struggle within the family, and she was only used as a tool to attack Calder.

Audrey had become Calder’s weak spot because her talent was too poor, and she was a waste.

But what if she was not a waste? She was also a genius of the family and a dazzling genius of the family. Would the family have any reason for her to marry into the family?

Since ancient times, it was impossible for outstanding women in the family to marry outside.

Marrying outside represented the loss of talent and the loss of experts.

Therefore, women with great talent and strength in the family either did not marry or recruited sons-in-law.

As long as Audrey displayed great strength and talent, according to the rules of her ancestors, it was impossible for her to be married out of the family.

Hearing this, Calder shook his head with a wry smile. “Audrey, don’t think too much. This matter really has nothing to do with you. Even without you, I wouldn’t be able to sit in the position of patriarch for long.”

Audrey was going to participate in the five clans competition?

That would be a joke.

The five clans competition was an event jointly organized by the five great families of Spark City.

Every three years, the five great families would hold the five clans competition.

At that time, the younger generation of Spark City would be able to participate in the competition. They would compete with each other in the martial arts competition and determine who was better in the arena.

This was because the five great families jointly organized the five clans competition. It was highly authoritative, and the entire Spark City would pay attention to it. It was the time when the younger generation would become famous.

Therefore, almost all the young experts in Spark City would participate.

Of course, the young people who dared to participate in the five great races were all experts from the great clans and factions. They were all extremely confident in themselves.

If someone like Audrey participated in the five great races, she would probably be a joke.
