Chapter 341
341 Damien’s revenge
Even though half of the people were in support of Emilee and voicing their opinions, Damien’s smile
didn’t falter. His squinted eyes swept through the room and they rested on the three oldest men sitting
behind some people in the room. 1
Damien’s pupils shrank. What are these deities doing here? He thought while his heart took a dive.
When he entered, he didn’t notice them…
Not just him, even Emilee didn’t notice them when she entered, that was the reason why she was so
arrogant earlier.
Every powerful family in Country M has some old figures that the family treats as ancestors.
To be a living ancestor of a family, an infant is taken at birth from a family member and sent out of
the family into seclusion, together with the living ancestor who would nurture the child and teach
him/her what to believe.
Because the child is not open to the ways of the world, they grow up with one judgment and mission;
which is, the betterment of the family.
If the family isn’t falling, or there’s a matter that would raise the family’s status, those living ancestors
will never show up.
To get to the level of an ancestor, one must be free of the desires of the world, have sound and
unbiased judgment, and must not have direct offspring.
For the past decade, these three old men hadn’t gotten involved with the Yu family’s matters. Even
when they were informed that Damien had forcefully taken over the head of the family, they didn’t
When the news that an outsider had gained the support of the Elders to rule over the Yu n got to
them, these three old men didn’t make a move until they heard of the Rainborite stone.
While Damien was lost in thought to know why those men came out of seclusion, Emilee broke the
silence and asked; “Damien, how is your health? Have you found a cure for the ATOM in you?” Emilee
asked like she really cared. Meanwhile, it was another n of hers to get those three old men who
hadn’t said a thing since the meeting started to speak up.
The three old men spotting a long white beard sat in the room like they weren’t involved in the meeting.
Those three Elders were the most feared and respected men in the Yu family. Even Damien and Ruben
wouldn’t dare to batter words with them, because amand from any of them cannot be questioned
or fought against.
These men hardly say a thing but whatever they say, must be approved as their words hold weight.
When Emilee suddenly became the Yu family’s head, they didn’t voice their approval or disapproval.
Emilee did all she could to get them to approve, but still, nothing worked until she told them about
the Rainborite stone.
Although they didn’t say anything, being in the meeting today means that they were interested in the
Rainborite stone, so Emilee was ted.
After Damien was reminded of the virus in him, plus the appearance of the living ancestors, his
nonchnt smile disappeared before he replied; “Thanks to my good friend, Lu Ren, I’m not dead.”
While saying that, Damien’s eyes were fixed on the living ancestors.
When the three men heard the name, Lu Ren, they slowly raised their heads to look at Damien for a
fleeting second before looking away.
Of course, the people in the room know who Lu Ren is, except Emilce.
Aside from the Lu grandfather and Madam Caroline, no one else addresses Maverick by that name,
which is why the majority doesn’t know him as Lu Ren.
The minority who know Maverick as Lu Ren are his friends, those in Organization, and the old people.
from the families that mattered, which included the living ancestors.
“You sought help from the Lu family? An enemy of our Yu family? Damien, what is your intention
towards the Yu n?” Emilee asked. When she worded it like this, what she meant cannot be more
obvious.
The Elders, as usual, started ring at Damien while grunting and gruffing in displeasure.
Because the three living ancestors naturally have a rxed aura with calm personalities, people
instinctively forget they are nearby. This is why, although they are sitting behind them, the Elders could
behave as they want.
Damien shifted his gaze from the three old men to Emilee and asked with a smile on his lips. “What is
the difference between seeking help from an enemy and having a stranger rule the n? Hehe,” he
chuckled.
“I’m a stranger without bad intentions!” Emilee hates it to her core when she’s reminded that she’s a
stranger in this prosperous n.
“A stranger without bad intentions caused the downfall of her own family, ruined all the small factions
she joined previously, then schemed to get rid of the head of the n just so she could be the new
head.” Damien nodded. “I see you have no bad intentions.”
The three old men didn’t show any reaction even when they heard that because they already knew
everything about everyone in and out of the Yu n.
Emilee nced at the people in the room. Most of them, if not all, already knew about her and
everything she had done along the road to sess but none of them cared about it. However, now that
Damien was saying it again, she feared that the people would start to get ideas.
Forget the Elders. She was most concerned about the opinions of the three old men. Seeing that none
of them spoke after a few minutes, Emilee breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Damien.
“I learned that from you, Master.” she smiled with her lips sealed. Of course, she didn’t want the people
to forget what kind of person Damien is.

“Hahaha… you finally remembered I’m your master?” He leaned back in his seat and got into azy
posture. “The Yu n has a book of rules, written by the first ancestors of the Yu family. Although the
book has been locked up in a section of the ancestral hall, this one was fortunate enough toe
across it and read some chapters of it.”
