Chapter 121 - Lost Clan Members

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Upon seeing the appearance of these few people, Lily somehow had the courage to take out the wooden sword in her hand and stand in front of grandpa. “Grandpa, go quickly. I won’t let them hurt you.”

Lily looked very serious. She did not look like she was joking. Her voice had even started to tremble. She was very agitated and she stared at them intently.

“None of you should attempt to bully me. Our family’s Old Ancestor is very powerful, and he especially knows how to use the sword. If any of you dare to bully my grandfather, I’ll kill all of you,” the little girl said with a serious look.

Norton and the others were shocked to see the little girl like this. They had not expected her to be so vigilant and resistant to them.

Perhaps because Kathleen had been too harsh with her words earlier, the little girl was frightened. “Kathleen, don’t be so fierce in the future.” Norton could only frown and look at Kathleen.

If they had lost a descendant of the Nicholas family clan because of Kathleen’s words, the gains would not make up for the losses.

“Don’t be so fierce next time. Look at how you have frightened the little sister. She thinks we’re all bad guys.” As he spoke, Norton changed his tone again, thinking that after all, Kathleen had also been anxious about this mission.

Kathleen thought for a moment. It was true that her tone had not been too good earlier because she had been too anxious. “Little sister, my tone was not too good just now. I’m sorry, but we’re really not bad people.”

Seeing that Lily was still wary of her, she had no choice but to place her hopes on the old man behind her. “Elder, we’re really not the bad guys that the young lady has spoken of. We’re here for something important. Can you help us?”

The old man had long known that these people were not bad people, and he somehow felt that he was fated with them. “Lily, come here.” He gently patted the little girl’s shoulder and got her to stand behind him.

“Grandpa, they…” Now, Lily was also a little shaken. She did not know if these people were good or bad.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa is not in danger. They should not be bad people. I’ll go and ask what they want.” The old grandpa patted Lily’s head and comforted her.

These people did not look like ordinary people. Furthermore, they looked both eager and anxious. The old grandpa also wished to know what they wanted.

Lily seemed convinced. She stopped talking and stood behind her grandfather, but she kept her hands on her sword in a defensive posture.

“What can I help you guys with?” the old man looked at everyone and asked.

Norton saw that their attitude had finally softened. He quickly said, “Elder, is your surname Nicholas?”

Norton had already seen through it. The uncle whom the little girl had mentioned was not with that family. Perhaps the little girl had already heard of the Nicholas family. With Norton’s sharp intuition, he sensed that this old man in front of him was the person he had been looking for on this trip.

They had also heard clearly the conversation between the little girl and their grandfather, which further confimed their deduction.

“My surname is indeed Nicholas. Why are the few of you asking this?” The old grandpa paused for a moment and answered truthfully.

His surname was indeed Nicholas!

Upon hearing the news, Norton and the others all smiled, but Norton did his best to hide the joy in his heart and pretended to be calm as he asked, “I have some questions to ask you. Can we go into the house and discuss them in detail?”

The old man did not refuse. “Alright, please come in. The house is a little shabby. Please forgive me.”

The entire house, however, was a little dilapidated. Although it was a little better than that house he had seen earlier, it was not much better, especially when he saw the old man searching around the house and could not find enough cups for water.

“Elder, there’s no need to be busy. I only want to ask you a few questions.” Norton felt embarrassed for making the old man busy. He quickly got the old man to sit down.

However, the old grandpa did not dare to sit down. He was afraid that his careless actions would make these nobles unhappy. The consequences would be unimaginable. “It’s okay. You can ask. I’l tell you what I know. I’l just stand.”

‘Whether it was the aura emitted by Norton’s group or the way they dressed, they all looked out of place in this environment.

The old man’s cautious manner made Norton and the others especially uncomfortable. “No, no, no. Sit down. We’ll just stand.”

The few juniors stood up tactfully.

Since the guest had already said so, the old man could not refuse. “What do you want to ask?”

“Relax, there’s no need to be nervous. Our surname is also Nicholas. The reason we have traveled so far to come here is to find our relatives, or the descendants of our family,” Norton patiently explained.

“Descendants?” The old man was obviously stunned when he heard the word. He took a long time to react and looked at Lily behind him. “Do you mean we’re the descendants of the Nicholas family clan?”

“Yes, that’s what we meant. We might be of the same clan.” Norton nodded in affirmation. “I wonder how we can address you.”

“My name is Aaron. This is my granddaughter. Her name is Lily,” the old man answered truthfully.

Norton had wanted to know their seniority based on their names, but he could not tell that from their names at all.

“Are you the only two in your family? Do you have a family genealogy in your family? Do you know where your ancestral roots are?” Norton continued to ask.

Unexpectedly, at the mention of his family, the old man’s expression became extremely sorrowful. “Yes, it’s just the two of us relying on each other for survival. We don’t have any relatives in this town anymore. As for the ancestral home, I heard the old folks mention it when I was young, It seems to be

called Winterfrost City.”

After hearing it was Winterfrost, Norton and the others were almost certain that they were from the Nicholas family clan. “That’s right, we are from Winterfrost. You are indeed our clansmen.”

The old man simply could not believe that someone would actually come so far to find him. He also could not believe that they were able to locate him.

Norton explained briefly how his Old Ancestor had told him the address in his dream. This made the old man feel even more incredulous. He felt as if he had lived his life in vain.

Out of the blue, a group of his fellow clansmen had appeared and said a bunch of words that he did not understand. He was a little suspicious of these people but could not think of any reason they would lie to him.

However, after careful thought, he also felt a little excited. If he was really from the Nicholas family clan, then Lily would not be looked down upon or bullied by others again. She would be able to live a good life in the future..
