Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1473 The Lyttelton Family II

”I will not train her in the manner I trained you.” Marthaʼs father didnʼt want to let go of such an opportunity. Being able to train someone like Cori was a pleasure he didnʼt want to miss.

”No. Sheʼs my daughter and I will train her, personally.” Martha refused.

She was very adamant with her refusal. There was no way she was going to hand Cori over to her father, especially when Grey was the one who brought her to them.

Marthaʼs father tried insistently to convince her, but her reply was the same, she didnʼt want to hand Cori over to him.

”Okay, what about you let her stay with me until she breaks through to the Venerable Plane. That should be enough, right?” He asked calmly.

”Yes. She will be left with you until she breaks through to the Venerable Plane. Once she has done that, we will take her back.” Lucas replied. He knew Martha was never going to agree to leaving Cori here.

”If sheʼs staying here, then so will I. I have to make sure youʼre not putting her through those grueling practices of yours.” Martha said.

”Youʼd be surprised how much Iʼve changed over the years.” Marthaʼs father smiled softly at her, before motioning for Cori to come over.

Cori took a peek at Lucas and Martha, and seeing Lucas nod, she walked over.

”Such a lovely little girl.”

”Come, Iʼll start the process now. Sheʼll need to be prepared. Itʼs a good thing youʼre here to help her throw it.” Marthaʼs father ushered them into the inner part of the manor.

The Lyttelton manor was larger than that of the Dawson Family. In fact, it could almost rival a Faction ground which shows just how large it is. Only those with the Lyttelton name or blood are allowed to stay here. Only during a few instances will someone else be allowed in, and that is from marriage.

Lucas was allowed in because heʼs married to Martha. Although Martha dropped the Lyttelton name, she was still from the Lyttelton Family in the end, and her father was the Family Head.

They didnʼt spend too long walking before they got to a room. The room was filled with a strange energy that Lucas had never sensed before, but he could feel the peace in it. He didnʼt know how to describe it, but there was a certain way it made him relaxed.

Martha became a tour guide to him as she was telling him what the place was and what effect the energy possessed.

Lucas was impressed by just this thing. He had never seen it before, and given his cultivation level, he had traveled to multiple places. The fact that this was the first place he was seeing something like this showed how majestic the Lyttelton Family is.

Marthaʼs father made Cori sit down cross-legged at the center of the place while giving her a particular breathing routine. He wanted to use this to expel all the impurities in her body before he used the treasure to help her break through.

The process would take a while. From what Martha told Lucas, it could last a week or close to a month depending on Coriʼs impurities.

Cori was from the Chaos Battlefield, so she expected her to contain a lot of impurities. And since she had been breaking through while in the Chaos Battlefield, there was no way she wouldnʼt have too much undiluted chaos energy in her body. Those energy would need to be expelled before the treasure could be used.

Lucas only stayed for a few days before leaving. He was one of the pillars of the Dawson Family, staying away for too long might be troublesome.

The Dawson Family has other powerhouses like him, but he is the one that can instill fear in the hearts of others, and that could move freely. No one knows what the Dawson Family is capable of doing, but everyone for sure knows that if Lucas Dawson comes after a particular figure, it doesnʼt end nicely for that person. When one cultivates to such a level, they value their lives very much.

Not just that, but Lucas has proven to be very powerful compared to others in the same stage. Thereʼs a high chance that he could defeat over ninety percent of the old people in the same stage as himself. This showed the level he has attained. No one wanted to be used as a scapegoat, so everyone gave him his due respect.

There are people who hated Lucas Dawson, but none of them would dare to step forward for a fight with him.

Lucas left, leaving Martha and Cori behind.

Martha and her father didnʼt speak much as they were waiting for the impurities to be expelled out. But she didnʼt speak with her mother who, although not pleased with her leaving, had missed her a lot.

She wanted to see her grandson, and after repeated pleading, Martha gave in.

”Heʼs not in that Dawson Family. When he came back from his journey, he went to the Pyrmond Faction…” Martha told her mother how they left the Aurora Continent to hide in the Azure Continent.

Her mother was displeased with Lucasʼ unwillingness to take on the responsibility of the Family Head. Given his strength, it was only right that he was the one who leads the Dawson Family. But due to not wanting any conflict with his brothers, he left, along with his pregnant wife.

What Marthaʼs mother believed was that if Lucasʼ family had known that Martha was from the Lyttelton Family, they wouldnʼt dare to stand against them. This wouldʼve made taking up the role as the Family Head easier for Lucas.

Martha didnʼt see the need for them being the ones leading the Family. She preferred their current carefree role compared to having to take responsibility for the entire family. In the end, her mother could only give up seeing that Lucas and Martha were on the same page.
