Chapter 204 - "An Epic Comeback"
Ainsley listened to Godfather's explanation and suddenly felt like being lied to. She never knew about this from her family's record books…
Why didn't they write anything about such a glorious thing? Are they trying to erase the past?
[I wonder why the Sloan Family never writes anything about being a part of the 7 sacred families, though….] Ainsley decides to ask the Godfather whole Alvaro and the butler bickered outside.
The Godfather looked down at the tiny baby, who was sitting on the couch. He contemplated things before sighing softly.
[I can understand why your predecessor doesn't reveal their glorious past.]
[And why is that? Did they offend someone and want to hide?] Ainsley squinted. She couldn't understand why one had to hide a good history.
A lot of people wanted to erase their miserable history, but the Sloan Family did the opposite…
[Hmm, you think it's glorious to be a part of the 7 sacred families, yes, you're not wrong.]
The Godfather put on a bitter smile as he continued.
[However, being labelled as 'the fallen 7 Sacred Families' isn't something good and will always remind others how things go bad for the Sloan Family.]
[But, Uncle Godfather...that dark history can at least serve as a motivation for the new generation to work hard to bring back the past glory, right?]
Ainsley tilted her head as she looked up. She didn't look like she's conversing with someone and was just gazing at the blue sky outside.
[Well, persevering the dark history can motivate the younger generation, but that will also be dangerous…] The Godfather shook his head once more.
[Why dangerous…?]
[Because even if the Sloan Family wants to record this history, the other 6 sacred families won't allow them!]
[Eh? Why? Isn't it up to us how we conserve our family's history?] Ainsley blinked once, looking a bit confused.
Are the 7 sacred families so arrogant as to control a fallen family's history conservation?
[Hum, actually, it's okay if you fall from a high rank and want to record the history, but the problem is…] The Godfather took a deep breath.
[Your family was once a member of the 7 sacred families, and once you fell, that also tarnished the other families' reputation!]
This time, Ainsley slowly got a bit of enlightenment. Her face couldn't help but darken.
[So...the 7 sacred families don't want to acknowledge us as a part of them after we decline because that title is also an honour for the others...and we sully it, right?]
Ainsley squinted when she said those words.
Indeed, just like how a royal family wouldn't let their members do a corrupt thing and let the whole royal family dragged into the mud.
It's better not to let the younger generations know how the Sloan Family fell.
[That's right, Lil lass. The 7 sacred families immediately get another family with a weak sacred guardian to fill up the empty spot while their ranking gets shuffled.]
[So...they want to act as if the Sloan Family never became a part of the 7 sacred families?]
[Yep. But the 7 great families will still know about this and will pass it down from generation to generation to mock the 7 sacred families.]
When Ainsley heard this, she suddenly felt breathless.
Didn't this mean the Sloan Family had always been a topic to talk about among the 7 great families of the mafia family?
Imagine everyone from the 7 great families and the 7 sacred families telling their children about how shameful the Sloan Family was…
That's not nice at all.
Ainsley could imagine those arrogant people snickering while talking about the fall of the Sloan Family.
They might also scare the children with this story so that no one would decline as low as the Sloan Family!
Just thinking about it almost made Ainsley explode on the spot.
Damn it. So the Sloan Family has truly become a thing that others could trample as they wished…
Maybe the Walter Family becoming the Sloan Family's superior ally and protecting the family under their wings was also considered an insult, recalling how the two originated from different factions.
The Sloan Family had to rely on their enemy's faction to survive while their own faction didn't care to extend a hand…
Isn't this ironic?!
Ainsley's face flushed red. She peeked at the arrogant butler outside, who kept mocking Alvaro and the whole Sloan Family, yet the poor young man couldn't even refute at all.
Their prestige was gone, and now, everyone in the mafia family patiently watched how the Sloan Family would fall to a low-ranked level.
They would then swallow the Sloan Family to get the three sacred guardians!
Those aiming for the sacred guardians should be the families under the 7 sacred families' influence.
If they could get at least one of the sacred guardians from the Sloan Family, they might be the next family bearing the '7 Sacred Families' title, replacing the current spare tire.
When Ainsley thought of how her family was seen as a big pie that everybody wanted to snatch without their consent...she suddenly felt that her current strength and achievement was all rubbish.
She is a genius with multiple abilities. So what? She awakened her abilities at the age of 3. So what? She is going to clear the family debt. So what?
The Sloan Family still lost a lot of their territories and was only waiting to be besieged from all sides.
It's not enough just to regain her family's past glory...
Ainsley silently thought to herself.
She also needs to get rid of those 'wolves' and get back their lost honour.
She...she needs an epic comeback to face-slap those hateful people!
