However, after 10,000 years, they had not been able to come up with anything. They had wasted a lot of energy for nothing.
This feeling was unbearable. They had treasures, but they could not use them.
They had also thought of taking them out to trade.
However, ordinary people would not be able to keep them and would not dare to take them. They would not be able to come into contact with the top powers, nor would they dare to come into contact with them. They were afraid that they would be swallowed up and not be able to get anything.
Therefore, the Laurent family was also having a headache. They could only leave it in the manor and temporarily ignore it.
.
“Father, are you there?”
Just as German was deep in thought, a voice woke him up.
A beautiful figure walked in.
“So it’s Fiona!”
Looking at his valiant and heroic daughter, German sighed. Why was she not a man?
It was not that he discriminated against his own daughter, but the entire environment was like this. It was harder for a woman to stand up than a man.
“What’s the matter, Fiona?”
German was still very guilty towards his daughter, so if she had any wishes, he would definitely do his best to help her fulfill them.
“It’s like this…”
Fiona told him everything that Su Han had said about the Cook family’s conspiracy.
Geman pondered for a long time after hearing it.
“Did you think of it yourself?”
Geman looked at his daughter and asked. If she really thought of it, then he would have to re-examine his daughter to see if she had the ability to become the head of the family.
“I thought of it before, but I was a little irritated about the marriage, so I didn’t think about it. A friend of mine told me.”
Fiona shook her head. She was proud, and she would never admit it if it wasn’t her idea.
“I know all that you said, but do you understand why I still want to go to the marriage if I know about it?”
Seeing Fiona think about it, German was a little relieved and wanted to test her.
Fiona was a little surprised by her father’s answer. She thought her father didn’t know about it, but he actually knew about it.
Now that she heard his question, Fiona fell into deep thought.
He knew that there was a risk of his family being swallowed up in the future, but he still did it. It could only be said that the current situation was very serious, and he had to do it.
Then, he could take this opportunity to take a breather, and when there was a chance in the future, he would revitalize the family.
Then the question came, what kind of danger was the family facing now?
Fiona wasn’t very clear about this because she had been focused on swordsmanship and didn’t pay attention to anything else.
So she told German her doubts.
“I’m glad you thought of this and didn’t blame me directly.”
German stroked his beard and smiled in relief.
“This is why I can’t wait. The family is too weak and lacks people to carry the tripod. Now many families have joined hands to deal with our family. The family’s living space is getting smaller and smaller.”
German sighed.
“So that’s how it is.”
“Yes, that’s why I can only take you out to form a marriage alliance. This way, I can obtain temporary protection. Then, I can use this opportunity to slowly revitalize the family. This was my original plan.”
German looked at Fiona and spoke.
“Original? Then what about now?”
“Now, I don’t think this will work. Your two older brothers are good-for-nothings. They can’t bear such responsibility and pressure. But I see hope in you, so I think you can inherit the family.”
German looked at Fiona with shining eyes.
He used to think that she was just a sword genius. He didn’t expect her to be so good at government affairs now.
In that case, it was not impossible to support her to inherit the family.
“Hey, me? What about the marriage?”
Fiona was also shocked. She didn’t expect her father to make such a decision.
“Then there’s nothing we can do. We can only choose the right one.”
German shook his head.
Although he didn’t say what would happen if the marriage was ruined, Fiona knew that the family couldn’t bear the consequences.
It was already very difficult. If the Cook family’s anger was added to it, the family would be destroyed in an instant.
Fiona didn’t want the marriage. She wanted to make the decision herself, but she didn’t want the family to be destroyed.
Under normal circumstances, she could only choose one of the two.
But Fiona decided that she wanted both.
In that case, there was only one possibility.
That was…
After making her decision, Fiona asked her father about this matter.
“Father, I want to ask you something. This is very important.”
Seeing his daughter’s suddenly serious look, German became serious as well.
“Ask.”
“Our family has been around for ten thousand years. Is there anything important in the family?”
German frowned slightly.
He didn’t expect his daughter to ask this question.
He knew his daughter’s character. She never cared about the family treasures.
Now that she asked this question, it must be something extraordinary.
The Laurent family had many treasures, but there was only one extraordinary item.
Could it be that she knew about that?
“Who did you hear it from, or did you know something specific?”
This question was very important.
If Fiona had discovered it herself, then it wouldn’t be a big problem.
If it was someone else who told her, then the problem would be big. This meant that the news of their family having runes might be known by others.
This was a big matter that would endanger the family.
Fiona was also very clear, but she chose to believe Su Han.
“Father, the news was told to me by someone else, but please believe that that person is absolutely reliable. I want to ask now, is the rune really in our family?”
Hearing the word ‘rune’, German also understood in his heart.
“This matter, only the patriarch can know.”
Gehrman didn’t give a clear reply, but he said something strange.
But Fiona could understand.
German meant that you had to become the patriarch to get the rune.
“Why are you asking about this?”
German didn’t believe that others would tell Fiona about this for no reason. Even if they were reliable, there must be a reason.
Fiona was silent for a moment, then she thought about whether to tell her father about the deal.
If she told him, she was afraid that her father would disagree.
If she didn’t tell him, she wouldn’t be able to get the rune.
After a moment, Fiona made a choice. She decided to tell her father about the deal. The rune couldn’t be avoided from him.
“Father, it’s like this. Just now in the suburbs…”
Fiona told German about Su Han’s situation.
“There are two strange people like this?”
Hearing Fiona’s words, German was a little curious about these two people.
He knew about the information about the runes inexplicably, and then he didn’t spread it out. Instead, he made the deal through his daughter.
He seemed to be a friend of his daughter’s best friend, and his words also reminded Fiona of something.
Gorman looked at his daughter and asked, “What do you think of his deal?”
