HappyNovelChapter 469 On either side of him were the sisters, Clara and Artemis, who were also participants in this competition.
Even before the contest began, the crowd was already buzzing with heated discussions.
"The Strauss family is really in decline. Not only are they sending two women to compete, but they've also sent a man of housekeeper origin to fight. They must be truly desperate." "That's right. Artemis' strength is decent, so she has a slight chance of winning the next match. However, Clara, despite her abilities, has no chance of winning. As for Seamus, he's just a filler." "That's true. The Strauss family is declining in talent. Among their younger generation, only Artemis and Clara have reached the Grandmaster Realm. In contrast, the other two families each have at least four or five young members who have achieved this level. The gap is significant." Everyone nodded in agreement.
Among the three families, the Lorence family was the most proud because they were the strongest. Their young lord was the master of the younger generation and the biggest winner each year, securing at least three of the six medicinal plant farms annually.
Next was the Claude family. Although their young lord was missing, it didn't affect the competition much.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDespite being a grandmaster, Theo Claude's age and limited talent placed him outside the top three in his family's younger generation, so he wouldn't have been chosen to compete anyway.
On the other hand, the Strauss family was disheartened as they were the weakest.
Last year, Mike Strauss managed to secure the worst medicinal plant farm, barely sustaining the family's daily expenses.
However, this year, Mike was over 30, and the competition required participants to be under 30. Without him, they feared they wouldn't win any farms, making their future grim.
This was why Cleef sought Sebastian to marry his daughter.
Only by marrying her could Sebastian compete for the Strauss family.
Of course, there were more benefits except for this.
Sebastian's strength and talent promised a great future. With him, the Strauss family wouldn't be bullied by the other two families.
Moreover, he was so strong, so his genes must be strong too. When he had a child in the future, he would definitely not be bad either.
In the future, the Strauss family would have a chance to rise and even surpass the Lorence family to becthe leading family on Phoenix Island.
As the competition was about to begin, Amos said, "Mr. Strauss, is your family so devoid of talent that you have to send two women to compete?" "What's wrong with women? They can be just as capable as men," Artemis retorted indignantly.
"Exactly, there have been plenty of women who have won in past competitions," Clara echoed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAmos said, "You two are certainly valiant. It's good to have confidence, but the competition is about strength, not confidence. Don't be disappointed if you lose." They didn't argue further, knowing their chances of winning were slim.
Amos continued, "Mr. Strauss, sending your nieces is one thing, but why are you sending someone of housekeeper origin? Fighting isn't child's play. If he accidentally gets killed, your daughter will beca widow right after getting married." Cleef countered, "Mr. Lorence, you're mistaken. My son-in-law is not a housekeeper. He only worked as one briefly due to memory loss. I believe he will surprise everyone here." Many people secretly scoffed.
Amos said as he smiled, "It seems you have great confidence,.MP. M Strauss How about we make a bet?" "What do you want to bet on?" Cleef asked.
Amos said as he smiled, "I bet your family won't win a single medicinal plant farm." "What are the stakes?" Cleef asked.
"My middle-aged brother has lost his wife. I can't bear to see him lonely. If I win, how about you marry Artemis to him?" Amos suggested with a smile.
