The melodramatic twist of the plot was that the First Prince had left, and the Second Prince had died young. In that case, the Third Prince could only inherit the family, which was Reynolds 'second uncle, Lei Ming.
Then, according to what Lei Ming said, after his father left, the clan easily found out where his father was. However, although his father, Reynolds 'grandfather, was abnormally angry, he was still his son. His grandfather could only silently agree that his father had run away from home. After that, his grandfather covered up his father's information and erased all traces. From then on, he lived an ordinary life and no longer belonged to the Lei family.
In fact, the act of concealing information was also a form of protection. If someone with insufficient status investigated his father's information, they would find that they could not find anything. Their past experiences would be blank, and the investigators would immediately realize that this person was not simple and had a powerful background.
After Reynolds heard about his father's past, he could only sigh inwardly that the heavens were playing tricks on him. On the other hand, Lei Ting, who was beside him, was unusually moved. Her eyes were red and she would wipe her tears from time to time. She looked as if she had just watched a popular Korean drama.
"Then why are you looking for me? Just acknowledging his ancestors? Please tell me the truth."
Reynolds said calmly. He didn't believe that it would be as simple as acknowledging his ancestors. From his father's story, he could understand that the big families prioritized the interests of the family. There must be some reason for them to find the son of the man who had abandoned the family back then.
Lei Ming looked at him for a long time, then sighed and said,"
"Alright, there is indeed something I need you for. To be exact, I need your strength and potential, so I took the initiative to contact Big Brother.”
This was the real reason! Reynolds suddenly realized that today's dojo competition was a test. If he hadn't displayed his strength just now, he probably wouldn't have been able to meet these two.
However, although he was much stronger than his peers, he was still not enough to be seen in the big families. Why would they need his strength? Reynolds was rather puzzled, so he asked Lei Ming this question as well.
"There's no harm in telling you. These large families would gather together every year to discuss some of the problems for this year and the coming year. Some of the juniors in the family would also go along to broaden their horizons. It was unknown when it had started, but every family would send out a junior during the gathering and play a friendly match with each other to show the level of the next generation of each family.”
At this point, Leiming paused for a moment before continuing,
"In the past, the Lei family would always send a junior from a branch to fight. However, he was already 18 years old this year. He was an adult and could not be allowed to go on anymore. Originally, this was not a big deal. It was enough to let Lei Ting go on this year.”
Lei Ming glanced at his daughter and continued,"
"However, last year, a family that doesn't like the Lei family suggested that only one person be sent out every year. It's not intuitive enough to see the overall standard, so there's one more person this year.”
At this point, Leiming's tone began to turn helpless.
"This proposal was agreed upon by most of the families, and it was decided. As you know, Eldest Brother left, Second Brother died early, and I only have this one daughter. Originally, it would have been fine to pick another junior from the branch.”
Then, Leiming's tone turned furious.
"Who knew that this bunch of trash only knows how to eat, drink, and play all day long. None of them are qualified. I guess the family of our enemy has figured out this situation, so they suggested to send one more person. It seems that they want to see us make a fool of ourselves! Fortunately, I often keep in touch with big brother and chat about small things. I know about your existence, so I came to look for you.”
Reynolds finally understood. Every year, this group of wealthy families would gather for a meeting. What meeting? It was nothing more than the planning and integration of resources and the distribution of benefits. These families were an alliance, and every family was an ally in the alliance. They had jointly monopolized most of the industries and resources related to elves in the country!
Then, the so-called friendly competition among the juniors was a competition between the various families. They were allies, cooperating with each other, and at the same time, they were competitors! The competition between the younger generation was related to the face of the family, and the face of the family was also one of the family's interests.
Then, this year, the juniors of the Lei family's branch were all silkpants, while the main branch only had one child. That was why they had found him.
"Each family hosts the gathering for a year. This year, it's our rival's turn to host it. Originally, the gathering was held at the end of December every year. However, last month, the organizers suddenly informed us that the gathering would be brought forward to the end of September this year. That's why we suddenly came to you. I originally planned to let you train for a few more months.”
Alright, Reynolds finally understood why his father had suddenly asked him to come to Rong City. It seemed like it had happened too suddenly. Afterwards, Reynolds also noticed that the Lei family had actually become enemies with their allies.
"Um, which family is the organizer this year?”
Reynolds was extremely curious which clan was unhappy with the Lei Clan. After all, if two great clans were to fight to the death, it was possible that both sides would suffer.
When Lei Ming heard his question, he only coldly said four words.
"Xiangnan, Lu family!"
