Chapter 9: Chapter 9

Audrey’s small courtyard was located in the depths of the castle complex.

The inner-circle was where the direct line members of the family lived, and the outer circle was where the branch line members of the family or the family’s retainers lived.

There were about 20,000 people in the entire Davis castle complex.

The direct line members of the family were only a small portion of them. Most of them were retainers, servants, servants, and guards.

In this world, local forces could control armies. As long as one had the strength, they could create an army.

The Davis family had an elite army of 3,000 people, which shook the area within a few hundred miles of Spark City.

“Miss, where are you going?”

Outside the door, the maid, Lifei, said respectfully. She was very respectful towards Audrey.

The direct descendants of the family did not like Audrey. She was often mocked and bullied, but in front of the servants of the family, she had a good reputation. She was highly respected and loved.

This was because Audrey was very kind and had a good temper towards the servants. She never put on airs as a young lady. She even helped some maids and servants who were in trouble.

“Let’s go to the Lisi commercial building,” Audrey said.

Soon, Lifei brought the beast carriage and led Audrey out of the castle.

No one walked out of the castle within a hundred square kilometers unless they were high-level fighters who could leap on roofs and walk on walls. Their bodies were as graceful as a swan. Just their speed alone was faster than the beast carriage.

“Audrey, where are you going?”

Just as the beast carriage left the castle, it met a gorgeous beast carriage that stopped her.

A tall woman with long gray hair walked out of the beast carriage. She wore a swordsman’s uniform and had a long sword embedded with many gemstones on her waist. It was obvious that it was very valuable.

The woman arrogantly stopped Audrey’s carriage. Her long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyes were filled with a playful smile.

“Kaki.”

Audrey’s expression sank. In her memory, the woman in front of her was Audrey’s sworn enemy, Kaki, the granddaughter of the third elder of the family.

The Davis family was huge. Just the direct line of descent was divided into nine branches.

Each branch of the direct line of descent was the backbone of the family. As for the nine executive elders of the family council, they would select one person from each of the nine branches of the direct line of descent to serve as the highest authority in the family.

Audrey was a member of the sixth bloodline of the family. Her father, Calder, was the patriarch of the family. At the same time, he was also the patriarch of the sixth bloodline of the family.

The third bloodline of the direct descendants that Calder belonged to and the first bloodline of the direct descendants that Kate belonged to had always been in competition with the sixth bloodline that Audrey belonged to.

The competition between the three bloodlines had never stopped.

Of course, those were the competition between the upper echelons of the family. It had nothing to do with Audrey, who was an insignificant, useless girl.

Kaki was different from Audrey. She could be said to be the pride of the family. She was adored by everyone and was highly valued and loved by the family council.

This was because Kaki’s talent was astonishing from a young age. At the age of five, she had become a level one fighter, and at the age of ten, she had become a level five fighter. Now, at the age of eighteen, she was already a level seven fighter.

It could be said that all words related to geniuses had something to do with Kaki.

Logically speaking, Kaki belonged to the clouds in the sky, while Audrey belonged to the dust on the ground. The two basically had nothing to do with each other. After all, how could a lion care about an ant?

However, Kaki liked to target Audrey. She had bullied her since she was young.

Audrey did not understand it before, but she found out later that it was because of Kate.
