Chapter 642 - "Late-night Gossip"

The five children were silent before they rushed to type. 

Azkar: Holy sh*t– if we were there, would we survive? 

Caca: We would if we are lucky and our parents protect us tightly. After all, the ones dying are all the illegitimate children. 

When Caca brought up the issue of illegitimate children, the children's faces darkened. 

Their families weren't like the Sloan Family that adopted the monogamy style. The Sloan Family was an ex-member of the 7 sacred families, so they're used to a monogamy marriage. 

The 7 sacred families and the 7 great families usually adopted monogamous marriage. However, the high-ranking families weren't like that. 

Many of them still adopted the polygamy system or polyandry. 

The five children's families were like that. 

Caca's mother had more than one husband. Arlin's father had several wives and mistresses. 

Azkar's dad had a few wives even though he never cared about them aside from his legal wife, whom he truly cared about. 

The other wives were forced on him by the family elders. 

Larsen's dad had three wives, but all of them were harmonious. 

Zenan's mother, the big boss of the family, also had a husband and several kept boys that gave her sons and daughters. 

When Caca mentioned the word 'illegitimate children', the five children were reminded of their half-brothers and sisters. 

They couldn't say that they liked those boys and girls, but they couldn't imagine their half-brothers and sisters getting killed as easily as that. 

As the children of the main wife or the main husband, the five children never knew the treatment of the illegitimate children. 

Only now, they had a peek at the untalented illegitimate children's life. 

The group chat was silent for a few seconds before the children sent another message. 

Azkar: I pity those innocent children. Why would their parents bring them to that kind of party? 

Arlin: Maybe their parents don't know there will be a battle royale…

Ainsley: the rules said the family could bring more mafia members to act as the wife or the children's guards. 

With Ainsley's simple answer, the children instantly understood what she meant. 

So the children were only an excuse to bring more personnel?! Damn! 

Middle-ranking families can be crueler than high-ranking ones. 

Ainsley: The bosses also bring along their wife, but I think it should be an illegitimate wife.

The five children rolled their eyes in unison. 

Caca: Ain, you're lucky never to encounter a step-mom or step-dad. They are all ambitious and want their children to get a piece of our family's inheritance 

Zenan: My mom's second husband is known to be a paedophile. When I was 7, he almost molested me. He's now dead. 

Zenan casually threw out such a horrible life experience that Ainsley almost threw her phone away. However, the others didn't seem to be surprised. 

They only thought that Zenan should slowly accept Ainsley into their circle by telling her this particular life experience. 

Larsen: Tsk, tsk, I sympathise with the children but can't sympathise with the illegitimate husbands or wives. 

Arlin: I heard that some family bosses even had kept boys or girls because they're bisexual or have same-sex orientation. 

LGBT wasn't that taboo in this world, but as mafia bosses, they had to leave behind descendants, which led to many bosses keeping same-sex mistresses everywhere. 

Caca: I just realised that our family is so chaotic…

Caca sent an 'I am tired' sticker before sending another message. 

Caca: Ain, at least you don't have to deal with illegitimate children and their parents. Otherwise, you won't be able to ascend the boss' seat smoothly

One could imagine how a three-year-old baby could survive against the older illegitimate children along with their vicious parents in the war to get the mafia boss' seat. 

Even if the legitimate children would always be the heir, once the family head was dead, and the legitimate heir was too weak or didn't have any support from the other family members, they could always be killed in an 'accident'. 

That's why the five children were somehow glad that Ainsley had already succeeded her family's throne even though it wasn't because her father passed away but because her father went missing. 

And up to now, the so-called father was still missing. That's why many people speculated that he's already dead. Thus, passing down the throne to Ainsley. 

Ainsley, who was talking things with these children, couldn't help but lament. 

Children in this world...is it normal to talk about the power struggle in the middle of the night? Is this kind of talk just light gossip for them? 

Terrifying…

However, Ainsley didn't really dislike these children who weren't as naive as she thought. 

All of them already had a degree of knowledge regarding their family condition. 

Even Arlin, the worst among the five, knew how to curry favour with the elders and made sure her oldest brother would be the future mafia boss without a hitch. 

That's why, Ainsley was somewhat amused and slowly started to regard these children as her new friends. 

Azkar. Oh, right, our conversation just strayed off too far. Let's go back to the previous topic. @Ainsley, tell us how you survive the battle royale! 

Arlin: Right, right! You're the only boss who is still a kid there, right? Many bosses must look down on you or something, right? 

Zenan: ...I think some bosses with brains will try to introduce their children to Ain instead. 

Larsen: Ain, Ain, did you use your shaman ability to survive? The Godfather spirit must be so powerful, right?? 

Almost no one knew that the Godfather was in a deep coma, not even the mausoleum' visitors. 

Thus, Ainsley only shrugged, not wanting to disclose the secret and hurriedly started to tell her story. 

Ainsley: It all starts with this...
