The Genius Mage Chapter 36
Advertisement
At this moment, the Davis family was in a heated argument in the meeting room.
"I don't agree to send Audrey out for an arranged marriage."
Calder sat on the chair in the round table meeting room and coldly rejected the decision of the family council.
There were so many women in the direct line of descent in the Davis family. What right did they have to ask his daughter for an arranged marriage?
"Calder, this matter was decided by the clan assembly through a joint vote. Therefore, it can not be refuted. Are you going to go against the clan assembly's decision?"
The seventh clan elder of the clan assembly said coldly. Within the clan, the clan assembly's decision was supreme. Even if Calder was the clan head, he could not oppose it.
"In any case, I don't agree," Calder said.
The third clan elder, Houston, came out to mediate the situation. "Calder, the Fairlie clan isn't a small family. They are the same as our Davis clan, the five great clans. So your daughter's marriage isn't a grievance.
"Moreover, the family's interests are above everything else. As the patriarch, you should put the family's interests first."
Calder gave the third family's elder a cold glance and said expressionlessly, "Houston, if you think the Fairlie family isn't bad. You can let your daughter marry them."
If it was a normal member of the Fairlie family, he could reluctantly accept it. However, the target of this marriage was the third son of the Fairlie family, Marcy, the most famous fool in Spark City.
Making Audrey marry him was like pushing her into the fire pit.
Houston said calmly, "Calder, are you joking? My daughter, Kaki, is a genius ranked in the top five of the Davis family. She has a slight chance of becoming a cultivator above level-30 in the future.

"Even if I were willing, the family council wouldn't agree to marry her off.
"Don't be unconvinced. It's your daughter's fault for being a piece of trash. Sending her out for a marriage alliance can maintain the marriage relationship between our family and the Fairlie family for many years. It can be considered a waste of resources."
"Bullsh*t! Houston, are you courting death?"
Calder slammed the table and stood up. Houston's words had completely infuriated him. He almost could not help but directly attack him.
"I'm not afraid of you."
The third clan's old Houston did not show any signs of weakness. Instead, a powerful aura erupted from his body, instantly enveloping the entire meeting room, blowing the furniture in the meeting room to the side.
Calder was a level 33 battle Heroic. Although he was slightly inferior to Calder, he was still a level 32 battle Heroic.
Therefore, he was not afraid of Calder. Even if he could not defeat him, he still had the ability to protect himself.
When the two families' upper echelons were about to fight in the parliament, the oldest and most senior elder of the family slowly stood up.
He released a compelling aura that suppressed the auras of Calder and Houston.
"Both of you, be quiet. You are the elders of the family. What a disgrace."
The elder of the large family, Pierre, was the number one expert of the Davis family. He was a level 35 battle Heroic. He was extremely powerful. With his strength alone, he could deal with Calder and Houston at the same time.
Calder snorted coldly and sat down. He did not say anything else.
Houston did not dare to act rashly either. Instead, he remained expressionless and didn't say anything.
"The matter of sending Audrey to the marriage alliance is the family's decision. It's not an individual's decision. As a member of the family, you must obey the family's orders as your highest purpose."
"As for you, Calder Davis, as the family head, you should have the spirit of sacrifice."
Calder did not give up and insisted, "Grand Elder, I've already promised Audrey that I won't let her go to the marriage alliance."
