Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Strongest support
At this moment, in the simple school, the children\'s tender voices recite loudly.
The teacher is none other than Olivia, seated in a wheelchair!
Olivia is now 48 years old. Once a beauty as pristine as a snow lotus, even the psychic medicines from Blackwood couldn\'t prevent her from aging terribly.
But now...
After years away from home, she suddenly began to age rapidly, wrinkles appearing on her face, her hair dry and white hairs growing along the vines of time. Somehow, her eyes were also covered with a white cloth.
[In the 55th year of Blackwood, Olivia had seen all the beautiful sights of Cloudview County.]
[In Cloudview County, using the experts she brought from her family, she established an assassin organization named \'Dawn\', to amass wealth and send it back to her family.]
[In the 56th year, Olivia became a zither player, playing in teahouses.]
[In the 57th year, Olivia became a vegetable-selling farmwoman.]
[In the 58th year, Olivia became a...]
[In the 62nd year, a calamity from heaven tormented her soul, rendering her blind.]
These students had just left the school.
"Cough, cough!"
Olivia coughed, her handkerchief covered in a frightening shade of blood.
"Fourth Miss!" In this small school, a dozen maids appeared, the leader full of concern upon seeing Olivia\'s condition.
Olivia shook her head.
"It\'s nothing serious. How is everything at home?"
The maid replied, "We checked; Young Master Marcus was assassinated, currently leading the Developing Skill mid-term elders to eliminate the Rodriguez family. But it seems Young Master Marcus has fallen into a trap set by the Rodriguez family."
"Fortunately, the family\'s experts have already gone to rescue him. Fourth Miss, should we deploy the forces of Dawn to annihilate the Rodriguez family?"
Olivia\'s expression remained unchanged, simply dismissing the maids.
She slowly pulled out the Forebearer cards.
The next moment.
On the screen, Ethan saw a pop-up in the game.
[Your descendant Olivia is reporting to you all the intelligence on the Rodriguez family, including the distribution of traps...]
[Your descendant Olivia has sent you intelligence, stating that within two months, Dawn\'s assassins will be ready to die for the family.]
[Your descendant Amelia has sent you intelligence, and she is asking if you need assistance from the Thunderfire Demon Cave.]
Seeing the messages from Amelia and Olivia coming through various channels, a smile appeared on Ethan\'s face.
He suddenly felt the charm of his family.
Amelia and Olivia, both far from home, face daily demonic attacks due to Amelia\'s poor communication skills, previously only interacting with plants, but now she adeptly handles threats from all sides.
Olivia, already struggling against the calamities bestowed by the heavens, even with his use of \'Forebearer\'s Warmth\' and \'Forebearer\'s Embrace\' to sustain her life, appears close to her end, yet with her frail body, she has established a powerful organization.
They both contribute to the family in their own ways!
No matter where or when!
"I have received your sentiments, and though you are not here, as Forebearer, I will take your place and win this battle, Blackwood is invincible!"
Ethan, more focused than ever, suddenly sat up from his bed, even the roasted duck beside him no longer seemed appetizing as he stared intently at the giant 500-inch screen.
...
"Goo-goo!"
Above the clouds, a line of thirteen black-clad figures flew on their swords, but a bird\'s call from afar halted the leader, a handsome young man, who waved his hand to stop his companions.
The Bai Li Dove, known for traveling thousands of miles a day to find people by their qi, landed in the young man\'s hand. Who else could it be but Marcus?
"Marcus, how did this mystical beast come to find you?" An elderly man beside Marcus expressed his surprise.
Marcus\'s expression was complex, "Elder Dylan, this is our clan\'s Bai Li Dove, capable of traveling thousands of miles a day to find people by their qi, it must be carrying a message from our clan."
"Oh."
Elder Dylan was not surprised, as Marcus was a favored son of heaven, deeply versed in the true teachings of the Sky Sect, and expected to reach the peak of Emerging Ability within ten years, especially gifted with nine unique abilities and fire, with no Transcendent Seed at his breakthrough.
The next sect leader would undoubtedly be Marcus.
It was only natural for a small family like Blackwood to aspire to connect with him, a mere delusion.
But he still used his psychic powers to check what message Blackwood had sent.
A moment later, Elder Dylan\'s face showed a playful expression, "Marcus, your clan members are quite interesting."
If it weren\'t for the fear of creating friction with Marcus, Elder Dylan might have burst out laughing.
Blackwood actually sent a message saying, let Marcus do whatever he wants to do, remembering that he has Blackwood behind him?
What is Blackwood?
A mere upstart from the wilderness, established only sixty years ago, a family of just over twenty descendants?
A clown indeed.
"It is interesting."
Marcus replied unemotionally, noticing the mockery in Elder Dylan\'s expression and the disdain in his words.
He then released the Bai Li Dove, glanced at Elder Dylan, and moved forward.
His gaze flickered subtly.
"I didn\'t send the message, how did my family know about my predicament? Is Forebearer watching over me?"
"This letter is from Daniel, and he\'s gradually mastering Aunt Si\'s exquisite methods. He should know that all incoming letters can\'t escape the elders\' eyes, so he usually doesn\'t say everything outright, implying a deeper meaning, which means..."
"The family has sent me help!"
Marcus pondered the meaning of the message, touching the Forebearer cards in his pocket, suddenly feeling immensely reassured.
He always knew, the family was his strongest support!
...
"Interesting? It\'ll be even more interesting when you meet us."
Ethan glanced at the text above their heads and didn\'t pay much more attention to it. He felt somewhat relieved; Marcus was right to keep a low profile.
After all, Marcus was in the Sky Sect, akin to being undercover, with the qualifications to be a boss. Every move he made was under scrutiny, and the pressure he faced daily was certainly no less than what Amelia and Olivia had to endure.
