From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Chapter 169: 162 Viscount Family!



The Fischer family!

People were utterly shocked and incredulous at the birth of a new viscount family!

Their influence in the field of medicine was immense; the highest quality and best-selling medicines on the entire East Coast all originated from the Fischer family\'s factories, and additives for stimulant foods developed by Fischer also secured extremely high profits.

In the area of shipping, numerous maritime merchants led by the John family all served the Fischer family.

Thanks to the channels provided by the Lion clan, part of the military logistics for the Royal Army was also the responsibility of the Fischer family.

The various small clans affiliated with the Fischer family increased every year; now they have seven knight clans, and many merchants and influential figures from all walks of life depended on them.

In the dark shadows unknown to the people of the East Coast, the Fischer family also possessed a force that called itself "Daybreakers," as well as the Dagger Brotherhood, both of which quietly exerted a profound influence over the entire East Coast.

The rise of the Fischer family was astonishing; in just over twenty years, they had become a force on the East Coast not to be taken lightly!

The original territory of the Spirit Deer clan was Black Mountain Town, which was later claimed by the Garcia family, who then handed over their interests in Black Mountain Town to the Eagle clan in exchange for future protection.

But then came the Royal decree—the "Divine Blood clan" from the Adley Royal Family had decided to bestow Black Mountain Town and the adjacent eleven villages to the Fischer family!

The Fischer family showed no cowardice and settled into Black Mountain Town without hesitation, appointing officials and working with the Lion clan to drive out the people of the Eagle clan!

The territory of the Eagle clan was simply too far from the four towns; disadvantaged geographically, they quickly abandoned their claim to Black Mountain Town due to the enormous difficulty, especially since the Garcia family, under Young Garcia\'s leadership, was secretly aiding the Fischer family.

As for the disappearance and murder of Viscount Garcia, Zavier maintained silence throughout, as if the matter had never existed, and nobody truly knew what he was thinking.

Nor did anyone know if he really cared about his friendship with Viscount Garcia.

The port town Nasir, the horse racing hub Black Mountain Town, the Garcia family\'s territory Fiera Town, and the gold mining town Chevron Town.

The whole region of the four towns gradually fell under the shadow of the Fischer family.

Their formal elevation to a viscount family was an event that shook the entire East Coast, leading the Fischer family to host a grand banquet of significant scale.

The most powerful Extraordinary Exponent would become the head of the family; this system established by the Extraordinary nobility avoided many family disputes, where a family member with strong abilities yet a low position would end up harboring resentment, effectively reducing such incidents.

According to the rules of the Extraordinary nobility, Chris had already become the official head of the Fischer family in name.

He had to attend the banquet, although for Chris himself, socializing with a bunch of disorderly people was quite a horrifying prospect.

Chris would rather have a few more bouts with Viscount Garcia than be the center of attention at the banquet.

"..."

Chris couldn\'t be bothered to talk to people; in most social situations, the eloquent Byrne would handle it on his behalf.

Viscount Bast from the "Lion clan," Viscount Oder from the "Iron Blood clan," and twelve barons who sided with the Lion clan also arrived, as well as nearly a hundred members from various knight clans who flocked to the banquet.

As for the Tempest Church, Acting Bishop Zayne from the Tempest Church himself came in person, accompanied by a dozen or so Priests.

"Tsk, it\'s actually true," Viscount Oder, holding a glass of red wine, couldn\'t hide his surprise at the banquet.

"If that\'s the case, this arranged marriage is indeed entirely feasible."

Bast had ordered an arranged marriage between two families; initially, he was averse to an alliance with the Fischer family, but now he felt it was a good thing again, a chance to form a good relationship with the newly ascended viscount family, the Fischers.

The white-haired Viscount Bast wanted to embrace Chris but was dodged, then without taking offense, he turned to embrace Byrne, saying with a smile:

"Hahaha! Very good! The Fischer family is progressing smoothly, eh? Byrne Fischer, your relatives are all very promising! Perhaps in the future, they could become people who change the dynamics of the East Coast!"

Byrne took a deep breath and replied with a smile:

"Without the support of the Lion clan, the Fischer family would not be where it is today, and I truly think so."

He said it sincerely, not solely to flatter the other party, and upon hearing it Viscount Bast laughed again, nodding lightly and whispering into Byrne\'s ear:

"Don\'t forget our agreement."

There were many attendants at this banquet, far more than at the initial celebration of Byrne\'s barony, and merchants, barons, and knights from the East Coast Province who didn\'t deal with the Eagle clan almost all wanted to attend this event.

Darren spied a somewhat familiar merchant happily chatting with knights; it was his ex-girlfriend\'s father, who wouldn\'t have obtained an invitation at all if the girl hadn\'t pleaded with him a few days earlier.

The banquet invitations were said to fetch a high price in the market, with some merchants even willing to take out loans just to secure an invite.

But Darren knew that the so-called "transferable invitations" were fake; how could those not invited be let in? Yet indeed, there were fools who believed in it.

He slipped out of the banquet skillfully, and a tall, beautiful girl with gray hair stood outside, watching Darren coldly and said, "Why haven\'t you seen me for the past two months?"

Darren sighed and said, "Because I\'m about to enter an arranged marriage, we have to part ways. Wasn\'t I clear in the letter?"

"Who? Which family\'s girl are you marrying? Tell me clearly!"

The gray-haired girl\'s father was also a very wealthy knight. She had been pampered by servants since she was little, and men from other knight clans also did their best to please her, with some even reciting love poems to her every week for a year.

The gray-haired girl had never suffered the humiliation of rejection. Unable to help herself, she glared at Darren with her chest puffed out in indignation.

"The Oder family, that Iron Blood clan."

As soon as Darren finished speaking calmly, the gray-haired girl took a step back, her eyes showing a hint of conceding to difficulties, yet she still bit her lip, not wanting to leave Darren.

He might one day be the heir to the Fischer family, and everyone knew what that meant.

She reached out and grabbed Darren\'s arm. Darren initially wanted to shake her off, but after thinking about it, he didn\'t.

A thought crossed his mind that apart from a few elders in the Fischer family, almost all the nobility had lovers. Why couldn\'t he have one?

All of a sudden, Darren held the girl and started kissing her. He had completely mastered the Power of "Scapegoat," and he decided to visit his ex-girlfriend again in a few days, or perhaps he could start by talking to her avaricious father.

At the banquet, everyone suddenly learned of another very surprising piece of news!

The Romann family had arrived!

"The Romann family?"

Acting Bishop Zayne raised an eyebrow. The Frosac family had a decent relationship with the Romann family, while the relationship between the Tempest Church and the Romann family was not that good, and he quickly contemplated what attitude and stance he should adopt in dealing with the Romann family\'s people.

Everyone present was aware of the Romann family\'s status—as top-tier nobles just below the Royal Family, their every word and deed could determine the life and death of countless people.

"Why would the Romann family come here?"

"Have you forgotten the relationship between the Fischer family and the Romann family?"

"My God, is that really not a rumor?"

The faces of many barons changed color, their hearts shook, and they wondered if the news was indeed not a rumor!

Byrne was also surprised, because the Romann family hadn\'t indicated any intention to come beforehand, and he hadn\'t sent an invitation to them, considering they were far away in another province. So, this was essentially the Romann family showing up uninvited.

"A very strange occurrence, one that clearly doesn\'t conform to the visiting etiquette among nobility, especially by those who, being high nobles, should value it even more."

In the eyes of all those watching, a young Amos Romann walked in.

His youthful and handsome face shone under the light, with golden hair reflecting a faint glow that bestowed a mysterious and charming allure, wearing a perfectly tailored dark blue tailcoat with a carefully matched bow tie adorning his neck.

"Blazing Fire" Amos Romann, the most outstanding of Duke Black Iron\'s great-grandchildren, was regarded as a genius, having reached the Metamorphosis Phase at a young age, and was very likely to become the successor of the Romann family.

Of course, Extraordinary nobles who could reach the Metamorphosis Phase were not few in the Ten Great Pillars clans, but the number who eventually became Monarch powerful experts was actually very small.

Many so-called geniuses never lived to that time, or ultimately could not break through that "gate" to step into the "palace."

Byrne quickly greeted him with a smile, saying warmly, "Mr. Amos, welcome. I didn\'t expect your sudden visit, I apologize for not making the proper preparations to receive you!"

Amos Romann shook his head gently and immediately said:

"It\'s nothing. Those tedious etiquette rules can\'t constrain me. I came here just to see for myself the Extraordinary who reached high-level Transmutation in his twenties, despite being from a small clan—who exactly is he?"

He gazed at everyone before raising his voice and adding.

"My visit does not represent any opinion of the Romann family, so let\'s not read too much into it!"

Then, at the banquet, every person who wanted to speak with Amos Romann was rejected by a wave of his hand, as he quickly made his way toward Chris with the silver hair.

Everyone exchanged glances, smiling superficially, feeling dissatisfaction deep inside, but they didn\'t dare to voice any objections outwardly.

Byrne smiled, feeling that "Blazing Fire" Amos Romann had a rather straightforward character. It seemed like there were no wrong nicknames, only mistakenly called names.

Just then, Byrne learned from a servant that more of the Romann family had arrived!

"Ah?"

He paused for a moment, then quickly realized that the "Blazing Fire" Amos Romann was indeed someone who had come covertly, and his attitude did not represent the Romann family\'s stance.

But now, the coming of the Romann family\'s member would likely represent the true attitude of their family, and he had to be even more attentive than before!
