The Age of Global City-States: I Can Increase a Thousand Times

Chapter 119 The Four Great Families
"Why?" Xiao Huihui asked immediately.

"Now your grandfather's health is deteriorating, and other families are staring at us. Our family's city lord is not a fighting attribute. If we want the family to develop stably, we must rely on a powerful family."

"Family, family, and family again, can I sacrifice my own happiness for the sake of the family?"

"The Xiao family has gone through a hundred years. The reason why this generation can rank among the four major families is because of your grandfather. If one day your grandfather is gone, the future of the family will definitely fall into my hands. I have to Think about the future of the family."

"You have to know, Brother Su Fan, with his potential, he will definitely be among the strong one day. Isn't that enough?"

Father Xiao snorted coldly and said: "One day? What day? What year and month is it? I can't give the future of the family to a young man who hasn't grown up. If I do, it will be Irresponsible to the family!"

"Why should I shoulder the mission of the family?" Xiao Huihui shouted at Father Xiao hoarsely.

"Because this is the fate of our Xiao family, and because your surname is Xiao, this is also your fate!"

"If that's the case, then I would rather not be born in this family!"

"Bastard! Is this what you should say as a descendant of the Xiao family!" Father Xiao slapped his hand hard on the table next to him as he spoke, and the table immediately fell apart.

Hearing the commotion in the house, Su Fan, who happened to be at the door, ran over in response. After pushing the door open, he saw the father and daughter, staring at each other angrily.

Xiao Huihui sneered, with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, he said, "If my mother was still here, would you still be like this?"

Hearing what Xiao Huihui said, Father Xiao's anger instantly dissipated. He lowered his head in frustration and sighed softly, "I'm sorry, I was too excited for my father. I'll go for a walk."

After finishing speaking, Xiao's father left Xiao Huihui's bedroom while everyone made way for him.

Su Fan walked up to Xiao Huihui and patted her on the shoulder lightly as a sign of comfort. Xiao Huihui raised his head, glanced at Su Fan, and threw himself on him, hugging her Weeping wantonly.

After crying for a long time, Xiao Huihui finally stabilized his mood. Su Fan took her hand, let her sit on the bed, and said, "I don't know what you are arguing with your father, but I can understand. It was your father who did what he didn't want you to do."

"My father is the patriarch of our family. Before my mother passed away, he was still very kind. But since my mother passed away, his temperament seems to have changed, and I have never seen him again. Friendly look."

"Perhaps your father also has his own unspeakable difficulties."

"Brother Su Fan, do you remember what I told you when I saw you? I said, my family gave me an engagement, so I ran out."

"I remember."

"This time my father asked me to go home. Although he said that he would not mention the marriage, I know that in his heart, the family is the first. He will not give up on the matter of my marriage. .”

"Did you save a child in your family? Why did you choose you for marriage?"

"No, there are many descendants in the direct line, but I am the only girl in the direct line, so I am the only one who is qualified to marry other families."

"The development of the family is good or bad, what does this have to do with marriage? Why put all your hopes on your marriage, it's a bit too feudal."

"Brother Su Fan, my family is basically of the shadow attribute passed down through the blood. As a control attribute, the combat ability is absolutely inferior to other combat attributes. If it is not for my grandfather, the family will never be able to support it. Now."

"Why is this? Is it because your grandfather has a high level? Or is it because your grandfather's attributes are different from yours?"

"My grandfather is 120 years old this year. He became a city lord at the age of 18 and built a city. You can imagine how many levels his city has now, and it was also a rare level in the city lord level at that time."

"120 years old? My God, a city of more than 100 years?"

"No, it's been more than 700 years. When every city lord dies, he can choose a handover person for his city. The person he chooses can take over the city of the previous generation of city lords. My grandfather is already the fifth generation. gone."

"The city of more than 700 years, what level is this place?" Su Fan asked in surprise.

"Level [-], so far only the four major families have such a level."

"I'll go. I've heard in the college that the highest level in the mainland is only level 10. I didn't expect that there would be a city of level 16. Since your family's level is so high, why do you want to seek it through marriage?" What about development?"

"You don't know, Brother Su Fan, after the city is handed over, it will drop two levels directly in the hands of the next city lord, and then we will become a level 14 city, and we will be with three of the four major families at once. widen the gap."

"Hui'er, the more you talk, the more confused I become? What are the four major families you're talking about? Why haven't I heard of it? Your city's downgrade has nothing to do with them."

"The four major families are the only old families that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and the level of the city and the ability of the city lord are beyond ordinary people's imagination. Under an evenly matched situation, they must be in harmony, but they are secretly thinking that they can Annex each other."

"That is to say, as long as one family breaks this balance, the four major families will no longer be in harmony, right?"

"Yes, my father is worried that after our handover, there will be other families plotting wrongdoing and taking the opportunity to make trouble, and my family will be in crisis at that time."

"So, your father thought of asking you to marry other families, so as to dispel the evil intentions of other families, right?"

Xiao Huihui didn't speak, but nodded lightly. Su Fan sighed softly. With his current ability, he couldn't help Xiao Huihui at all. He never thought that such a high-level city would have such Worry more about yourself.

"Then you and your father had such a fierce quarrel just now because of this matter. I can understand your mood at the moment, Hui'er. No one wants to marry someone they don't like."

"If you marry me, you will never marry. I will never marry someone I don't like. Brother Su Fan, before I leave, I want to ask you a question. Please answer Hui'er seriously. Don't lie to me in the slightest."

"You ask, I will never lie to you."

"do you like me?"
