Chapter 1471 Return Of A Rebellious Daughter
The Northern Continent.
In a large hall.
A group of four could be seen gathered, discussing intensely. One of the people present was Grey's father, and beside him sat a beautiful lady who looked to be in her thirties. It was none other than Matha, Grey's mother.
The duo were surrounded by elderly people and one of the people had a striking resemblance to Martha. She was a woman who looked to be in her fifties but she looked very healthy and could be mistaken for someone in her thirties.
"My grandson is in danger and you still refused to bring him here." A man in the hall asked calmly.
He looked even younger than the woman in her fifties, and unlike the woman, it was very difficult to associate him with someone more than fifty.
"Grey's safe, and under the watch of the Dawson Family." Martha replied while staring into the eyes of the man.
"Hmph! What can the Dawson Family do in perilous times like this? They have so many enemies they would most likely be destroyed by humans." The lady who had a striking resemblance to Martha snorted coldly.
"The Dawson Family's business is my business, and I will go down with them if need be." Martha replied with a calm expression on her face.
The lady looked at Martha and was about to speak when the man raised his hand to stop her.
The reason Martha came over to her Family was all due to Cori being on the verge of breaking through. Grey's attempt to halt her cultivation has been futile, and even after her training, she realized the essence was just too much for her. She knew of a way to remove the dangers of breaking through, but that would mean she had to come to the Northern Continent. She used her own method and even asked Lucas for help, but in the end, they were only able to slow it down and not stop it.
The fact that as the day goes by she draws nearer to breaking through made things worse for them. With no other choice, she finally came to the conclusion of coming, but she dragged Lucas with her.
This was Lucas' first time here, he knew her Family, but he didn't come due to Martha's request. The idea of finally being able to meet Martha's parents personally intrigued him and so he didn't argue with her.
"How old is she?" Martha's mother asked curiously.
"Eleven." Martha's reply shocked those in the room, with the exception of Lucas who was already aware of Cori's age.
"How's that possible?" Martha's father was genuinely bewildered at the age of Cori. In the Aurora Continent, only after one gets to the age of twelve are they able to know what elements they have an affinity to and start training. He had never heard of someone being close to the Venerable Plane at such an age.
"My son..." Martha told them of how Grey brought her out of the Chaos Battlefield.
When they heard of the story of how Grey took in Cori, they were amazed at Cori's luck. Grey found her right after her brother had been executed. The little girl didn't know the right step to take, but Grey appeared and made everything right, helping her in the end.
"I wonder what sort of man my grandson is growing up to become. Now I'm truly interested in seeing him." Martha's father squinted his eyes as he looked into space.
Lucas looked at the expression on the face of Martha when he heard this, and to his surprise, she didn't seem pleased in any way, rather, there was anger in her eyes. He grabbed her hand as if to tell her it was fine.
Martha gave him a glance before smiling and looking back at her father.
"Will you help me?"
