Chapter 171: Ancient Families
I quickly caught up to Lily and looked at her. She had a lost look in her eyes as she gazed at the sky.
“What are you thinking?” I asked her while my eyes stared at the empty sky. It is almost night, I could see the stars in the sky.
“Nothing, just biding my ti to get my powers back and I could go back,”
My brows furrowed when I heard her words. Why is she behaving like a fool? I know that she is missing her formal life, but isn’t this too much? I shook my head.
“I know you will get it back, but you should not think too much. Rember that you are going to assist in the future.”
She had a surprised expression on her face before she smiled and said, “I know. That is the reason I said that you are my lucky star. To be honest, I didn’t expect that one day I would get my Powers back. But after I t you, my life changed for the good.”
My eyes were fixed on her smiling face, but I could feel that there was a trace of loneliness in her eyes.
I nodded, “I know,”
After a while, after completing the formalities, Lily showed my house. It was the sa as those houses in the facility, but this place was quite bustling. The soldiers have occupied every house.
When those people got to know that I was one of the candidates for Pri Three. They welcod wholeheartedly. I could see that many of them fawning over .
Lily was also staying in the sa building. But after showing my house, she left, as she had so work to do.
I sat on the couch while my gaze was fixed on the ceiling. The scene of that spaceship lingered in my mind for a long ti. The would-be a day when I would also travel in that spacecraft and would fight those aliens.
To be honest, after gaining the mories of my past self, I am quite powerful. What I lack is experience. Even though I have spent so ti in the jungle and fought those animals and beasts, I still lack a lot of experience.
But suddenly, the sound of the doorbell broke my thoughts.
‘Who would co at this ti?’
But as soon as I opened the door, I saw that Alexandra was smiling at .
“Can I co in?” She asked, but moved inside the house. My brows were raised while my eyes were fixed on her. She sat on the Couch and looked at .
“Co inside, consider it as your own house.” I could see the craftiness in her smile.
I shook my head and closed the door. Alexandra has changed a lot and the relationship between us has moved beyond friendship.
Before the events in the mountains, she would always behave like a superior. Even though she was friendly with , but there was always a wall between us and that wall broke when I kissed her that day.
I sat on the couch and looked at her. Her eyes were fixed on mine.
I slowly caressed her cheeks, “You were quite tensed today? Like to share?”
She shook her head and sat down comfortably. “It’s nothing, but so things from the past cannot be forgiven easily,”
“Oh,” Not this is interesting. She was from one of the most powerful families. But from her words, I know that she didn’t have a good past.
“Would you like to share?” I asked her again. To be honest, I wanted to know more about her. After the events in the mountains. I realized that I know nothing about anyone. Among the won I have, Diana’s past is the most complex. She is also the reincarnation and as if fate has played a ga. She is also my woman in this life.
Olivia’s life is very simple. She was also born and brought up in one of the most powerful families in this world. She has a very simple past.
Even though Tanya hinted to about her life. But her words were so complex that I feel like that I don’t know about her past. But I know that she didn’t have a good life. But since she was talented, she made her own na in the forces.
And at last, Alexandra, I know nothing about her. I just know that she was born into one of the most powerful families on this planet.
My eyes were fixed on her. She had a lost look on her face as she looked at the empty space. I waited for a while but heard nothing from her. But suddenly she spoke.
“You would have thought that since I was born in that family, I had a good past, right?”
She turned to look at . I could feel the sadness in her eyes.
“Tell ,” I said to her.
She shook her head again and sighed. “Even though I was born in that family, I don’t have any lingering attachnt to them. From the mont I was born, they treated as a tool. A tool that would raise their prestige among the ancient families in this world.” She stopped, her eyes were fixed on .
“I think you don’t know, but all the powerful families in this world are the ancient families. Ancient families are those who were able to survive the vicissitudes of ti. Their history dated back to the Era of the Ergence of that GOD,”
My brows furrowed. What is she talking about? Is she speaking the truth? But there is no reason for her to Lie.
“You would be thinking that I am telling the lies, right?” She looked at and said.
I shook my head, “No. Please continue. I am very much interested.”
Her eyes were fixed on for a while before she took a deep breath and said, “There are the seven families in this world, who are known as ancient families. They have a long history and they are one of the reasons that forces were established.”
“I told you before that when that man returned, he destroyed everyone who attacked his family on this planet. But after his return, we got to know that he beca unfathomably powerful. We got to know the Power of GOD. But we also got to know that there are people like us in the outside world. When he left, he told us to beware of those aliens. And as expected, those aliens attacked this planet.”
She again took a deep breath and said, “Many people died but we were able to defend this planet and after that, the Seven Powerful Families created forces.”
Her gaze was fixed on for a while before she said, “The Power of the Ancient Families is unfathomably deep. There are many Old Monsters in those families, who are on the verge of Breakthrough to the Godhood, but they are could not cross that step.”
“But during all this ti, there was always a political struggle to control the forces, and these families are silently fighting. When I was born, I was raised as a tool. A tool that could be useful for the domination of my family. You will not believe but they made so isolated that I didn’t even know the news of the death of my mother.”
She laughed, but tears slid down her face. “I was not even inford that my mother was dead. Those people hid the news from . They thought that it would affect my training and I would lose my direction. When I ca out of the training, it was already too late. My mother was dead for a year and my useless father was enjoying his life with his other wives. Even though he is my father, I don’t respect him. He always danced in the tune of those old monsters.”
“That was the first ti in my life I felt that I was being used as a tool. But I kept that feeling in my heart and started training wholeheartedly. You don’t know, but I felt suffocated, living under the sa roof as those people. But I kept quiet and always spent my ti in training. I wanted to be the free bird, not just the tool of those old monsters. Even though I wanted to break these shackles, I couldn’t do it. Those old monsters are really powerful and they wouldn’t allow anyone who would destroy the na of their family. That was also the reason I started looking for the history of our Lone GOD. That was also the reason I wanted to beco Powerful, Powerful enough that those old monsters wouldn’t be able to stand before .”
She paused and looked at . “I was a lonely woman throughout my life. I only desired one thing in my life and that was Power. But everything changed when you ca into my life.”
