Female Novel
Chapter 748
James nodded at the elder and explained,' Years ago, Ivan crossed paths with a girl that came with
several other youngsters, and they were all on a trip. Ivan, seeing the girl's beauty, wanted to take
advantage of her so he touched her bump. As a result, the group of young men gave Ivan a beating
before they left." James paused here before continuing, "Before they left, however, they asked for
Ivan’s name and background check. They warned that Ivan should be prepared for his death, as they
were people Ivan could not risk to offend!’
Spectre Face could not hide his surprise when he heard this and blurted, "Who are they? They're that
powerful that they can appoint a certain person during army recruitment?"novelbin
Tanya also looked at her father and was obviously interested in this matter. They only heard news that
the Taylor family offended somebody and the recruiters appointed this requirement to them.
Luckily, the group of people did not specifically mention names. Otherwise, Old Master Taylor would not
have the chance to work his way around it.
James continued saying, "I'm not very sure about the exact situation, but I do know that they’re from
Gin City. There are ten major families there, all downright frightening. They hold most of the properties
and power in Cathysia and have been in existence for a long time now. Their power is infinite!"
"No wonder!" Spectre Face spoke in sudden realization. "It might be easy to settle the issue if Ivan
offended people from other places, since it'd be resolved easily with money. Tough luck that Ivan
offended people from Gin City."
The elder said, "This punishment was considered acceptable. They only appointed a position to the
Taylor family and didn't send a team to wipe out the entire family. That was quite merciful on their side!"
Tanya thought about it and replied, * Luckily, we're quite far away from Gin City. That group of people
must have appointed a position to the Taylor family but didn't bother to follow up about the matter. If
they knew that the Taylor family found a son-in-law who married into their family to replace Ivan, they
might've continued causing trouble for the Taylor family!"
James smiled bitterly. "No matter what, these people requested someone from the younger members
of the Taylor family who's older than eighteen years old. Fane, though a mere son-in-law, can be
considered as a member of the Taylor family as he fulfills the requirement. Fane surely fitted the bill.”
Spectre Face replied with a smile, "The title of a son-in-law married into the wife's family is unique. He
can be a Taylor family member if they forcefully say that. If they don't, he can only be considered a half
a Taylor family member!”
"Whatever it is, this matter happened five years ago. Those youngsters might’ve forgotten this since
long ago."
"They might even think that Ivan had died o n the battlefield. It's been five years, so I don’t think they
will continue pursuing this matter," James continued. "Luckily, we're quite far away from Gin City, and
not many of its people would come and visit this place. Under normal circumstances, let's just earn our
money and live our lives peacefully!’’
Tanya was deep in thoughts before she asked James, "Did the Taylor family offend one of the ten major
families from Gin City? That'd be a real disaster!"
James smiled bitterly. "I don’t know about the details, though I do know that they offended somebody
from Gin City. Nobody knows if it’s one of the ten major families," he spoke, followed with a sigh. "I'll
give your brother a serious punishment tonight. Since he's not focused on his work, I'll hand the South
City Group matters to you!' "Me?"
