Chapter 299
Although she had put back the wooden box, the memories of the past seemed to be engraved in her head. They constantly resurfaced in her mind.
More than 30 years ago, as a member of the Sun Family in Long City, Francesca Sun's martial-arts talent was average. At the age of 40 years old, she was still only a master at the middle stage of the Yellow Level.
Although she was a core member of the family, she did not have an important position within the family. She was arranged to be in charge of a small company outside the city. Although it seemed like she was being dispatched, the fact was, she was leaving Dragonville of Long City.This was akin to leaving the core of the Sun Family and being exiled.
Within such a big family, once someone was exiled to a remote place, it was almost impossible for them to return. Moreover, their descendants would also leave the Sun Family and had to settle down in another place.
If things went on like this, it would take no more than a generation for her to lose the connection from the Sun Family. In the end,
she would completely have no relationship with the Sun Family, and become just a local wealthy family.
Francesca had seen this happen many times. Many elders and core members of the family had lost their power and influence because of this.
And now, she, Francesca, had to take the same path.
At that time, Francesca, who was disheartened, accidentally met a young woman. The woman was beautiful, like a fairy who had emerged from a painting.
Even Francesca, who was a woman, was impressed by her beauty at first sight.
The woman was beautiful and she had a good character. She said that she had come down from the mountain to travel, and she asked if Francesca would like to be her guide.
Francesca had noticed the extraordinary appearance of the woman and the powerful force in her movements. She was very surprised and guessed that she was a master in the martial-arts.
Francesca, who was eager to seek a breakthrough in her strength and skills, agreed to be the guide of this woman and lead her to travel around.
During the years of travel, Francesca didn't know which clan or level the woman belonged to. However, from their daily contact, she felt deep down that this woman was completely different from anyone she knew. She couldn't compare her with anyone at all. She seemed like a superior and celestial being.
Francesca became more respectful and humble, trying to serve the woman well.
The woman's character was very gentle. She asked Francesca to treat her as a friend and not a master. However, Francesca was cautious and she did not want to provoke a martial-arts master.
Seeing this, the woman guided Francesca in the martial-arts and taught her some special methods and skills. From NôvelDrama.Org.
Francesca advanced by leaps and bounds in the martial- arts. She had previously determined that she had no more room for improvement, but then she made a breakthrough in her skills in her forties. She went from the middle stage to the peak of the Yellow Level, and then quickly reached the early stage of the Black Level.
In the past few years, the woman had met several guides, including the famous Latifah Gong, Yanko Shi and Honor Qi.
They had traveled with this woman for more than two years. It was not a long time, but everyone benefited a lot from her guidance.
Not only did they advance by leaps and bounds in the martial-arts, they learned a lot in other aspects. One by one, they quickly rose to fame and were well known at that time.
But later, the woman met a man. They fell in love with each other and finally got married.
Therefore, the woman asked her guides to return home.
The guides were grateful for the kindness of this woman. Before parting, they all groveled to the woman and expressed their gratitude to her. They said that if the woman needed help in the future, they would help her no matter what.
When she left, she gave each of them a jade pendant and said that when the pendant reacted in the future, it would indicate the time of her return.
After they took the jade pendants, they went home separately.
In the past two years, they had made great progress in terms of strength and skill. After returning home, almost all of them became the backbone of their families, without facing any obstacles.
Francesca successfully became the core master of the Sun Family, and she inherited the position of the family elder.Previously, she was not in a high position at all.
Therefore, from then on, the power of the Sun Family was officially transferred to Francesca.
Francesca, with the guidance of the special training methods and martial-arts techniques from the woman, helped the Sun family to keep on growing.
Finally, Francesca became a master at the Late stage of the Black Level, and was the top master in Long City. At the same time, under her leadership, the Sun Family was gradually promoted to the Black Level. This was an accomplishment that was not achieved by previous generations.
After so many years in the family, Francesca gradually became familiar with the martial-arts world, as she continued to improve on her strength and expanded her experiences.
Recalling the shock of that year, she felt that it was rather ridiculous. At that time, she was only at the Middle stage of the Yellow Level, which was too weak. Whenever she saw a stronger martial- artist, she would be shocked.
Looking back again, that woman seemed to be just a master at the peak of the Black Level. Now, Francesca was very close to that level.
The change in her perception caused her attitude to change accordingly. Also, she had been in a high position for many years and had been treated with great respect.
Francesca's attitude was no longer like how it used to be. Now, she was a big shot and had a great reputation. How could she be willing to be a servant to others?
In the past few years, every time she saw that jade pendant, she could not help but recall the promise that she had made back then. She would become worried.
She was worried that if the woman came back now and asked her for everything that she had, what should she do?
The more she thought about this, the more worried Francesca became. She gradually developed a kind of resistance and even disgust toward the woman.
She kept telling herself that everything that she had now was accomplished by herself,and it had nothing to do with that woman. If she showed up again and asked her to give her everything, she
would never agree to it.
Because she, Francesca, could no longer be a servant!
As the images in her mind gradually disappeared, Francesca's eyes became stern and she gave an order, "Tell Harvard and Nate that I have to go out to research on something important. They should not act rashly before I return."
"Yes!" someone answered. A dark shadow flashed from Francesca's side, and then it quickly integrated into the background and disappeared.
