Chapter 295: God's Gift

"Yes," Huang Sheng Hong nodded. "Why are you suddenly asking about this thing? Lyca, the Ye Family, and our family don't have any good relationships. They hated our Huang Family for taking away their heiress and bringing her into this country. At that time, her husband, your great- great-great-grandfather was not considered rich. This was a family secret. Father only told me this when you already accepted the challenge from Huang Xiaoxuan. Aside from this, my father also told me that the only person who will lead the Huang Clan should have white hair, or else the Ye Family will destroy our Huang Family. This was a promise that was made when the Ye Clan wanted to kill Ye Bai and your great- great-great-grandfather."

Standing up, Huang Sheng Hong walked towards the couch inside his office. At first, I am not planning to tell you this. Call me selfish. But those people, my brothers, and sister already betrayed us for money. If they wanted to lead the Huang Family so much, then let them lead! This was the reason I wasn't in a hurry to have our revenge. If what your grandfather told me was the truth, then the Ye Family will destroy the Huang Family very soon." Huang Sheng Hong's expression was grave. "Of course, I wouldn't tell you this if you didn't ask about them now." He wasn't really planning to tell Lyca about this. Not ever.

In the first place, becoming a clan head was too tiring, and he knew Lyca too well. He knew that she doesn't like to become a leader. Second, he saw how Shen Qui had treated Lyca all this time. The two were in love and Lyca was very happy. How could he put this heavy burden in his daughter's heart?

Being a clan leader isn't a simple matter.

Of course, Huang Sheng Hong was aware that he had been very selfish.

"You are right. Not telling me about this is good." She sighed and sat opposite her father. Knowledge is power. But it can be a burden, too. Just like now, knowing all this is already making her mind swirl! Lyca was certain she would spend days analyzing her father's words, researching about this matter, and finally digesting everything. What about her sleep? What about her body? Another sigh escaped her as her shoulders dropped.

This matter sounded too complicated.

She hated it.

"Father, I am wondering about something," Shen Qui's words interrupted her stupor.

"Hm?"

"Well, this Ye Family. I haven't heard of them before. Are they really capable of destroying the Huang Family? This isn't some ancient world. We are already in the world of tech. If a family destroys other families, I am sure that the public would punish them!" Public persecution. Isn't that the new trend today? As long as they get the public's approval and play the pity card, people will surely persecute the enemy without even knowing the actual truth.

"It's not that easy." Huang Sheng Hong uttered. "You can only say that because you didn't ask me what country are they from."

"Then what country are they from?" Shen Qui asked. At this time, slaughtering prominent families doesn't happen anymore. After all, media is everywhere."

"Du Empire."

Silence followed his words. Seeing both Shen Qui and Lyca's surprised face, Huang Sheng Hong continued. "Du Empire of Du Country. That was also the place where little Lyca got her degree. It was a small but rich country. They are both top one in military and medicine and many countries look up to them. When it comes to wealth, Du Country ranks one. Inside the country, we can find the top 10 richest cities. One of these cities is precisely the Ye City. Known for holding the military of the Du Country, Ye City is known because of its extremely advanced medicine research, tech, and military. It's not only the top three of the richest city, but it was also where the Royal Family lives. The Ye Clan."

Lyca blinked. She opened her mouth to say something but closed it again. When she came back into that world, she occupied Ye Bai's body, a white-haired woman. Right now, Lyca had white-haired and coincidentally, her great-great-great grandmother's name is actually Ye Bai!? What was happening?"

"Don't worry too much about this matter," Huang Sheng Hong uttered. "Legally, you are no longer a Huang but a Shen. And we are safe here, perfectly hidden in this fortress. The Ye Family won't be able to catch us here. Plus, they would focus on my brothers and sister first. Moreover, this was but a story. We don't really know if it's true."

"So basically, the reason why Lyca's great- great-great-grandfather and Ye Bai survived back then is because they promised the Ye Clan that the white-haired one will be the only one qualified to rule the clan?"

"Precisely." Huang Sheng Hong nodded. "They are an extremely prideful people. They are from the Royal Blood, after all. How could they allow a princess to marry a pauper? They only allowed it because of that promise. The Ye Clan always thought that their white hairs are God's gift. Your grandfather said that it made them think they are different from other people, that they are above others."

"So this Ye Clan… should be in this country now?" Lyca asked.

"That should be the case. If that story is true then… they should be here now."

"But father, the Du Country is actually enemies with our Xu Country, right?"

"The two leaders are not friends. The Xu Family are very prideful people as well. When it comes to resources, the Xu Country is above the Du Country. Mostly, Du Country will buy supplies from our Xu Country. Remember, Du Country is extremely small. They have no fields and used all the are in their country in industrial development and other projects. Whereas our countries are extremely vast. Additionally…." Huang Sheng Hong was extremely knowledgeable when it comes to political and economic affairs. Therefore, he immediately started explaining the matters between the two countries.

However, Lyca's heart and mind were already somewhere else. She lowered her head, her eyes in a daze. Xu Country, Xu Family. Du Country, Ye Family. In both worlds, both families were enemies. In both worlds, Lyca was also involved in their matters. This… This is not a coincidence, right?
