Chapter 40: The Furious Parliament

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Father, I’ve made up my mind. You don’t have to persuade me.”

Audrey stood up, turned around, and walked out without turning her head.

Although the main reason why Calder was targeted by the family parliament was because of the internal strife within the family.

But no matter what, she was still a secondary reason.

If she was not too useless, the parliament would not have used her as a tool to attack Calder.

If she was dazzling enough and powerful enough, she could even help Calder, allowing him to sit firmly in his position as the patriarch.

Therefore, the original sin was that she was not powerful enough or dazzling enough.

In that case, she would show them how powerful she was and how dazzling she was.

Calder looked at Audrey’s determined back and was speechless for a long time. He was very shocked.

With Audrey’s ability, she would probably be defeated by others in the first round if she participated in the five clans competition. Thus, she would not even be able to make it through the first round.

Under such circumstances, should she still participate?

…

Ten days later, the day of the five clans competition gradually arrived.

The Davis family’s ancient castle was filled with discussions about the five clans competition. At the same time, many rumors were spreading.

“Have you heard? The lineup for the five clans grand competition this time is unprecedentedly strong. All the famous young experts in Spark City have signed up to participate.”

“I heard that the rewards for this year’s five-clans grand competition are three times that of the previous one. The reward for first place is desirable.”

“No wonder so many young experts have participated. This year’s five clans grand competition is probably the most lively one in decades.”

…

“What a surprise! Audrey actually signed up to participate in the five clans tournament as well.”

Someone rode a unicorn and rushed over from outside the ancient castle, spreading the information he had received.

“What? Audrey signed up to participate in the five clans tournament as well?”

“Why did she sign up to participate? is she going to embarrass herself!?”

“No way, no way! The number of young experts in our Davis family who dare to sign up for the five-clans tournament can be counted on one hand. So what is Audrey going to do? Is she going to embarrass the Davis family!?”

The matter of Audrey going to register for the five clans grand competition had caused quite a stir in Davis castle.

Many people thought that Audrey was deliberately stirring up trouble. Perhaps they were dissatisfied that the family had sent her to the five families grand competition to form a marriage alliance, so she deliberately went to the five families grand competition to embarrass the family.

At the family meeting, all nine elders had come.

Elder Pierre was so angry that he overturned the meeting table.

“Calder, Audrey went to register for the five clans’ grand competition? Explain to me what’s going on!”

The great clan elder, Pierre, looked coldly at Calder.

Calder said indifferently, “I have nothing to explain. This is Audrey’s decision.”

The great clan elder said coldly, “Immediately tell her to cancel her registration and get the hell back here.”

Audrey, a level 1 fighter, was going to register for the five clans’ grand competition. That would be extremely embarrassing for the Davis family!

What kind of competition was the five clans’ grand competition?

It was a competition between the young geniuses of the entire Spark City. If their Davis clan sent a level 1 trash to participate, their clan would become the laughingstock of the entire Spark City the next day.

No, it did not need to be the next day. Perhaps they would become the laughingstock of Spark City on the very same day.

As if he did not see the fire-breathing eyes of the grand elder, Calder continued to speak indifferently, “There are no rules regarding who can participate and who can’t. It’s Audrey’s freedom to register or not. Neither my family nor I have the right to interfere.”

“Calder! Audrey is your daughter. She’s the daughter of the current patriarch of the Davis family. Her identity represents the Davis family. She can’t represent herself. Don’t you understand this point?

“Call her back immediately. Immediately.”

The Grand Elder was so angry that he was about to explode. He could not even breathe properly. The daughter of the patriarch of the Davis clan had gone to the arena of the five clans’ grand competition to be a clown and a laughing stock. How would the world view the Davis clan in the future?

This was too damaging to the reputation of the Davis clan.

“I’m sorry. This is Audrey’s freedom. So forgive me for not being able to do anything,” Calder said indifferently.
