Tomb raiding: Start with a proficiency panel

Faced with his son's probing questions, old Taylor spoke with a rare lecturing tone.

"You must remember,"

Given our background, arranged marriages were unavoidable.

The Rockefeller family,

The reason we haven't arranged any marriage alliances over the years is ultimately because there are very few families that would allow us to do so.

Also because,

The Rockefeller family is already a top family and doesn't need to rely on women to maintain stability.

therefore,

That's why they haven't contacted other top families over the years.

He paused for a moment before speaking.

"Such scenarios only exist in fairy tales or novels, but in reality, no one would refuse them."

Such a marriage,

Especially women living in large families.

Life is about the mundane things like firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea. Without a family, these are the realities that ordinary people have to face.

Away from the family,

What is she anyway?

Moreover, this marriage alliance is crucial for maintaining stability between two top-tier powers.

Among them,

I told you this a long time ago, so I won't go into details.

And I used to think

Only ordinary people from the lower classes would believe such a scenario.

But now,

The stark reality before me made me feel utterly ridiculous.

I also think,

I was too happy too soon.

Seeing old Taylor's somewhat dejected appearance, Chief Locke asked after a moment's hesitation:

"Father,

But Mr. Zhou did refuse.

Looking at his son who still didn't understand, old Taylor sighed in frustration.

"Well, let me be clear: the men in our family..."

No one would refuse an arranged marriage.

Mr. Zhou, as the founder of the top-tier Qiandao Lake,

This is especially true.

He paused for a moment before speaking again.

"Mr. Zhou refused because Monica had ulterior motives."

No man can accept this.

His woman's heart isn't with him.

If so!

That's the calm before the storm; once it erupts, there's no going back.

He pursed his lips as he spoke.

"I really can't believe Monica would make such a mistake."

She is so smart,

She has always been the apple of the family's eye, but now she can't even see it clearly.

Mr. Zhou is such a legend,

As a potential marriage partner, others would probably be extremely envious.

But she was only concerned with her immediate interests.

That's ridiculous.

Upon seeing this, the young clan chief quickly spoke up: "Father,"

Should I call Monica back?

Old Taylor waved his hand: "No need, Mr. Zhou said..."

Since she likes the power arena,

Let her stay there; it's said to be a gift for our first meeting.

He spoke with a hint of disappointment and frustration.

"Look,

She missed out on such a gentleman; God will punish her.

finished,

Looking at the trembling young clan leader,

He raised an eyebrow.

"Let Jenna go."

Upon hearing this,

The young clan chief hesitated for a moment: "But..."

But Jenner is only eighteen years old.

And with her gentle and mild-mannered nature, is she capable of completing this task?

Old Taylor shook his head.

He spoke with a hint of helplessness: "Then you still have..."

Other daughters?

The young clan chief shook his head slightly: "No."

Old Taylor said irritably.

"That works then."

This is a marriage between two top families. Do you really want a girl from a collateral branch to go?

Are you sure?

Isn't this insulting?

The young clan chief gave an awkward smile: "Father,"

I'll arrange it right away.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, old Taylor's voice rang out.

"Give Jenna a good talking-to."

It's said that as long as one loves Mr. Zhou and only loves Mr. Zhou, and the marriage is successful,

She will then live the best life in the world.

What she wanted was...

They will all be obtained after the marriage is successful.

Upon hearing this,

The young clan chief gave a slight bow: "Yes,"

Father,

I will inform Jenna.

See here,

Old Taylor waved his hand helplessly, watching the young patriarch walk out.

Old Taylor,

This is the first time I've felt so utterly humiliated.

At the same time for television or

I have gained a deeper understanding of the plot points in the novel.

Art,

It comes from real life!

To be honest, if this were written into a book,

I'm afraid other large families,

After seeing it,

They wouldn't believe it, and might even laugh at what a brainless plot it was.

…………

the other side.

On the shore of a small lake in the manor, a young man...

I was watching with a sense of helplessness.

Before me stood a pretty blonde girl with a stunning figure.

Aren't you angry?

The young woman, or rather Jenna Rockefeller, shook her head slightly.

A hint of doubt lingered in his eyes.

Why should I be angry?

Born into a large family, he enjoyed a privileged life.

"Of course I must shoulder everything for my family."

He then seemed somewhat puzzled.

"And Dad, the Mr. Zhou you mentioned is only two years older than me."

They had already established a power comparable to our family.

This kind of people,

So outstanding that ordinary people can't even reach their level. If I hadn't been born into the Rockefeller family, I might not even be able to...

I couldn't find Mr. Zhou.

Secondly,

He's not an old man, so of course I wouldn't refuse.

Seeing that Jenner didn't say that on purpose,

The young clan chief finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you weren't lying to your father."

As he spoke,

Regarding Monica's situation, and what old Taylor said,

I gave a brief explanation.

Upon hearing this,

Jenna shook her head slightly: "It seems that in my sister's mind..."

They were blinded by greed.

otherwise,

With my sister's doctoral level of knowledge, how could she possibly make such a mistake?

He then looked at the young clan leader.

"dad.

When do I leave?

The young clan chief chuckled softly, "Of course, the sooner the better."

Upon hearing this,

A sly glint flashed in the girl's eyes.

"Dad, where is my start-up capital?"

My older sister has them all.

"I won't be without it, will I?"

The young clan leader smiled and said, "Yes, the clan will transfer 10 billion to your account later."

But this is for your food, drinks, and entertainment.

It's not the money you used to start a business.

Since Mr. Zhou already knows about the family's arranged marriage, you can come directly to his door.

There's no need to make excuses.

See here,

The girl waved her hand casually: "I don't want to start a business."

Dealing with hypocritical people every day

I don't like it.

Then his eyes lit up: "I remember that ancient land..."

Many delicious foods were born from this.

This time I can finally try some authentic local cuisine.

Upon hearing this,

The young clan chief chuckled softly.

"That's your prerogative, as long as you can secure this marriage."

Since then,

As long as you don't cheat, you can do whatever you like.

and,

No one will refuse you.

Upon hearing this,

The girl's eyes lit up, and she giggled, "Of course!"

Of course I know this is my main mission.

dad,

I promise to complete it.

finished,

He left with the words, "I'm going back to pack my things." And then...

They ran straight towards the manor.

Watching the girl leave,

The young clan chief sighed softly, "I hope everything goes smoothly this time."

As he spoke,

Looking eastward.

After all, given Blackback Six's combat prowess and the information about Thousand Island Lake,

He knew all of this.

Therefore, for Qiandao Lake, which is about to settle in the area,

Only then do we have more worries in our hearts.

The Thousand Island Lake region is powerful, and they came here to ascend the throne.

It's obvious.

This is in preparation for taking over this land.

It has become their private property, showing a strong determination to acquire it.

and,

Qiandao Lake itself has many strong individuals.

This has further heightened tensions. Don't underestimate this large family now...

There was no reaction at all.

That's because they were wary of Qiandao Lake.
