âWeâre wrong for putting all our energy into Treasure Trove and developing it so big that even the Palmore family became jealous. If Treasure Trove were still a small business, the Fellowes family wouldnât end up like this.â
âNo! I think our biggest mistake is that we are too weak. If the Fellowes family also had a Sacred Saint, would the Palmore family dare to treat us like this?â
âSacred Saint? Itâs not that easy! After so many years of development, there are only a few Sacred Saints in the entire Star Kingdom. Even if some are hidden in secret, there would not be too many.â
âGrandpa Val, do you think Davidâs master could be more powerful than Zenon?â Alba asked with a hint of expectation.
âImpossible! David and his master have been hiding for so many years. Even if heâs doing that to recuperate, he might have only just recovered. How can he be more powerful than Zenon, who drove Lord Sid away?â Valerio shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Alba lost all strength and completely gave up.
She also knew that this was the outcome of their struggle, but she was unwilling so she wanted to ask.
âSo, what should we do now?â
âLetâs just wait. The family will send away the young and potential direct descendants to maintain the family bloodline, but then you will live incognito. I hope that one day, you can rebuild the glory of the Fellowes family,â Valerio thought for a while and said.
âGrandpa Val, I wonât leave. I donât want to live like that, I would rather perish with the Fellowes family,â
Alba said firmly.
Alba would not be willing to live a life of darkness, fear, and the possibility of being caught by the Palmore family at any time. She would rather die.
âAlba, where there is life, there is hope. As long as you are alive, there is hope.â
âNo! Grandpa Val, you know me, You know Iâm not going to live a life where Iâm struggling whilst at death's door.â
âYou⦠Goshâ¦â Valerio sighed, not knowing what to say.
The two remained silent for a while.
Alba also slowly calmed down.
She suddenly said, âGrandpa Val, let me tell Master David the truth! Otherwise, if his master comes out and learns that his opponent is the head of the Saints Association, he will definitely punish Master David. Letâs not implicate Master David.â
âBut the grandmaster didnât even tell Master David just now. Instead, he tried his best to recruit Master David to join us. If we tell him, wonât it affect the grandmasterâs plan?â Valerio hesitated.
âGrandpa Val, do you think there is still hope for our family?â Alba asked.
Valerio shook his head and said with certainty, âNo.â
âThen we should tell Master David the real situation. The grandmaster didnât say anything because he wanted to get David and his master to side with us. After all, with more people, we will have more strength. Plus, they just met each other not long ago and their relationship is just average. However, I donât want Master David to think that Iâm lying to him.â
After hearing what Alba said, Valerio suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
âThe Fellowes family is definitely hopeless.
âSo why not let Alba leave with David?
âThey have known each other for a long time and have a good relationship.
âWith Davidâs master, the Palmore family wonât dare to stop them either.
âMoreover, she wonât have to live incognito.â
The more he thought about it, the more feasible Valerio felt the plan was.
Therefore, he said, âAlba, go and tell Master David! If necessary, you can tell him the grandmasterâs purpose for hiding this matter and that you informed him of this as soon as you get the news. You have to increase his affection toward you.â
âIâll go now!â
After Alba finished speaking, she got up and left quickly.
She did not pay attention to Valerioâs last sentence.
All she knew was that Grandpa Val agreed to her suggestion.
If so, she had to hurry up and notify Master David.
âI hope Master David hasnât contacted his master yet.
âOtherwise, he will definitely be yelled at.
âAsking his master to deal with the head of the Saints Association?
âIs he trying to disrespect his master and destroy his sect?â
