The Genius Mage Chapter 42

"Calder, no one can disobey the family. Anyone who disobeys the family will not have a good ending."
The third family's elder Houston's eyes were filled with malice. Within the family, the conflict between the third and sixth lineages was the greatest. He and Calder had many fights over the years.
In fact, the fights between the upper echelons of the family had directly affected the lower and middle echelons of the family, as well as the younger generation of the family.
This was also the reason why Kaki had targeted Audrey so much.
Originally, the parliament had agreed that as long as Calder voluntarily gave up his position as the patriarch, the council would withdraw audrey's marriage plan.
However, if Calder and Audrey insisted on going against the family head or even doing something that would tarnish the family's reputation, the family would be ruthless. So not only was Calder going to lose his position as the patriarch, but Audrey also had to marry that fool from the Fairlie family.
Calder did not say anything. Instead, he turned around and left. The meeting ended on bad terms.
Ever since he decided to resist, he could not be manipulated by the family anymore.
He had long been disappointed with the Davis family. He did not want to stay in such a family.
If they really forced him into such a desperate situation, he could escape with Audrey. The world was so big. Then, they would be able to find a place that accepts them.
With his strength as a level 32 Heroic, if he wholeheartedly escaped with his daughter, no one in the Davis family would be able to stop them.
...
"What? Audrey is going to participate in the five great clans competition? Are you sure?"
In the living area of the first line of descent, Kate, who had just come out of the cultivation room, was stunned when he heard the news.

He knew Audrey's strength the best. If she were to participate in the five clans grand competition, any random person would be able to easily beat her to the ground.
No! Any random person would be able to push her to the ground with just a finger.
Therefore, it was completely meaningless for Audrey to participate in the five clans grand competition. It could even be said that she was going to be abused.
"What's going on?"
Kate looked at his attendant and asked with a serious expression.
He knew Audrey's personality very well. She was not someone who liked to be competitive. Audrey had never been interested in competitions. So how could she participate in the five-clans grand competition all of a sudden?
"Young master, miss Audrey had signed up to participate. Unfortunately, the family disagrees. I heard that the council is making a big fuss, but they haven't been able to stop miss Audrey from participating in the competition."
Kate's guard said respectfully.
The five clans' grand competition was not just a competition between the younger generation of the five clans. Any youth of Spark City could participate in it. Therefore, any young person could sign up as long as they met the age requirements.
This was the consensus between the five great clans and all the factions in Spark City. It was also the reason why the Davis family was unable to stop Audrey from participating.
If she insisted on participating, then no one would be able to stop her from participating.
This matter had already caused a commotion in the family. There were even rumors circulating in Spark City. But, unfortunately, this was the way of the world. The people of Spark City did not talk about good things, but jokes quickly spread throughout the world.

For forces like the five great families, whenever a joke appeared, it would immediately spread throughout Spark City.
"Why is she going to participate in the five great families' competition?"
Kate frowned. The upper echelons of the family had seriously put her down her, yet she still insisted on going. This did not seem like Audrey's character.
