"So that's it." Ye Bufan nodded, and then asked, "Then what does your Peilan family rely on to be listed as one of the three major families alongside these two families? It must also have extraordinary strength, right?"
"The Peilan family is a long-established family in the federal imperial capital. Back then, the head of the family conquered the world with Saint Lord Lawrence, and has remained strong to this day thanks to the legacy of his ancestors.
But relatively speaking, our family is more powerful in terms of economic strength, and in terms of force, it is far inferior to the two major families backed by the Divine Court and the Black Wizards Alliance.
Being able to stand in the ranks of the three major families in these years is entirely due to surviving in the cracks between the two powerful ones.
Although our family is not as powerful as the other two major families, whether it is the Berwick family or the Lorraine family, they will have to pay a considerable price if they want to eat us.
And they have always been in a state of hostility, so naturally no one is willing to take this risk, so our family has continued to this day."
Ye Bufan understood, but he asked doubtfully: "If this is the case, then why are you marrying the Berwick family this time? Doesn't this mean choosing sides? Will it break this balance?"
"This is also a helpless move." Alicia explained, "This balance has lasted for many years before, but the situation has changed somewhat recently because the Lorraine family is getting stronger and stronger.
Among the three major families, the biggest problem of our Peilan family is that we have no successors. From the second generation to the third generation, there are almost dozens of core children in total, but there is no usable talent.
It is precisely because of this that my grandfather, who is nearly 80 years old, is still struggling to support himself.
The Berwick family is better than us. Although Olivier is not a great talent, he is still barely usable, and there is Denniston beside him to help.
In contrast, the Lorraine family is completely different. Their three generations of core children have produced two outstanding talents.
A young man named Raul is very capable and has been designated as the next generation heir of the family.
There is another woman named Ramence. Like me, she is very talented in business, but she is much luckier than me. She is the eldest granddaughter of the head of the family, Ramos. She has a very high family status and controls the entire Lorraine family.
economic lifeline.
With the support of these two people, the Lorraine family is getting stronger day by day, and even its economic strength is slowly beginning to pose a threat to our Perrin family.
Under this situation, the existing balance point has been broken. If my grandfather does not take some measures, I am afraid that the Lorraine family will take action against us in the next few years.
Because of this, in order to protect ourselves, our Perrin family had no choice but to join forces with the Berwick family, hoping to contain the Lorraine family.
"I see……"
Ye Bufan then obtained some information about the other two major families from Alicia, and chatted for a full hour before hanging up the phone.
In Europe, in a magnificent palace, stood an old man wearing a helmet, a crown, and a robe. He exuded powerful majesty and momentum. He was none other than the Divine Emperor Adams who commanded the entire divine court.
The Divine Court has been one of the most powerful religions in the West for thousands of years, and as the Divine Emperor of the Divine Court, Adams's power and influence are no less than that of an emperor.
At this moment, a girl in her twenties stood in front of him. She had a pretty face. Although she was wearing a large yellow robe, she still couldn't hide her exquisite figure. She was the yellow-robed girl who was rescued by Ye Bufan from the Ghost Witch Cult.
Archbishop Helena.
"Father, just let me out. This handsome guy saved my life. I have to thank him properly no matter what."
Helena held Adams' hand and begged while acting coquettishly.
If other people saw this scene, their jaws would definitely drop. No one would have thought that she was the daughter of the God Emperor and the princess of the entire Divine Court.
"No, wasn't it dangerous enough that you made trouble last time? You almost died in the Ghost Witch Cult, and the day of the Holy Maiden's Trial is coming soon. You must stay in the Divine Court honestly and you are not allowed to run around anymore."
After learning about Helena's experience in the Ghost Witch Cult last time, Adams was really shocked. From then on, he locked his daughter at home and did not allow her to go out.
"Wasn't it special last time? It won't happen again. Just let them go out."
Helena pouted her lips and looked pitiful.
"It's okay if you say no. No matter what, I can't let you go out and mess around again this time."
Adams' face darkened as he spoke, but it was a pity that the person standing in front of him was his daughter, who did not pay attention to the majesty of the God Emperor.
Seeing how weak Helena was, she threw away Adams' hand and said, "If you don't let me go, I will refuse to participate in the Saint Trial."
"You... are fooling around!"
Adams was so angry that if he were seen by other members of the Divine Court, he would probably be frightened into silence, but Helena didn't care at all and turned her face to the side.
"I keep my word. If you don't let me go out to find the handsome boy, I will refuse to participate in the Saintess Trial."
"Daughter, listen to what Dad said. Although our Divine Court has an absolute advantage in the confrontation with the dark world, those dark creatures are not giving up. They are always thinking about how to regain the disadvantage and how to attack us.
This is also the reason why I have not dared to disclose your identity for so many years. Once I let them know that I have such a daughter, I am afraid they will take you as a hostage.
As long as you can pass this Saintess Trial and gain the power of God, your identity will be revealed, and you can go anywhere you want.
If you really want to thank that Chinese person, I can just send someone to deliver the gift directly. Thank you how much you want to thank, and give him as much as you want."
"No, I'm going to see the handsome guy in person. If I don't agree, I won't participate in the trial."
Helena remained stubborn and had no intention of giving in.
"You girl, do you want to piss me off to death?"
Although Adams is the powerful God-Emperor, he has no way to deal with his precious daughter.
Helena showed a pitiful expression again, "Father, just let me go, just this once. I'll be back in a few days, okay?"
Adams sighed helplessly. He knew his daughter's temper very well. If he didn't agree, he might really give up on the Saintess Trial.
"Okay then, I'll let you go out for a few days..."
"Great, thank you father, I can finally see the handsome boy."
Helena immediately cheered and kissed him on the cheek.
"Don't be too happy first, I have conditions." Adams said, "You can go out, but you can't go alone. Let Casillas protect your safety, and all actions must be subject to his arrangements.
, no nonsense allowed.”
"Okay, just let me go see the handsome guy."
Helena also knew very well that this was the God Emperor's bottom line, and she would definitely not be able to leave if she refused again.
"Remember to go and come back quickly, don't delay the Saintess' trial."
"I know father, I'm going to leave now and I'll be back in a few days."
Helena cheered, turned around and ran out the door.
