Chapter 1001 A Thousand Year-Old Family
The other party looked like an old man, but Luca had never seen him after being in the Marsh Family for so many years.
When he greeted Luca, he smiled amiably and said, "Mr. Luca?"
For a moment, Luca was stunned and thought that he had never seen him before. Unless, Rowan had replaced his subordinate?
However, he only dared to ponder it in his heart and did not dare to ask any questions.
With a nod, he answered, "Yes."
"My boss has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."
The man took him all the way to the manor on the island.
Because it was late at night, Luca couldn't remember the directions either. He only vaguely felt that he had made a lot of turns, just like walking in a maze, which was different from the road he took when he came to see Rowan last time.
Obviously, his doubts grew deeper, but he held them back and didn't ask about it.
As they entered an antique manor, there were winding paths leading to a secluded place. After a long time, they finally stopped in front of an carved wooden door.
The old man stood outside the door and shouted, "Sir, Mr. Luca is here."
A man's clear voice was heard. "Come in."
At that moment, Luca was shocked.
It was not Rowan's voice.
After all, Rowan Marsh was old and was nearly sixty years old. Even though he had taken good care of himself, his voice was still suffused with a dusky and heavy aura.
However at the moment, the sound he heard was magnetic and crisp, like the sound of waterfalls in the mountains that would seep into one's heart.
He could not help but shivered as he followed the old man into the house.
The smell of sandalwood in the room was strong, but it didn't create an unpleasant to smell. Instead, it emanated a peaceful and quiet aura.
He saw a man sitting in the corner of the east side of the house.
The man looked very young, probably two years younger than him. He was handsome, with a calm and elegant appearance, and he exuded an inexplicable mysterious aura.
The old man led him over.
"Sir."
"You can leave now."
Coby replied.
The old man nodded and left.
All of a sudden, there were only Luca and Coby in the room. Luca felt a little awkward, as he had no idea who was standing in front of him, not to mentioned he didn't know what they wanted to do with him by bringing him here.
Subconsciously, he protected the box containing the Jade of Heaven, as he looked at Coby with vigilance.
"You are..."
Then, Coby looked up at him with a smile in his eyes.
"You don't know me."
Upon seeing his face, Luca was a little stunned.
He saw Coby waving his hand to someone else, and the person out from the curtains.
Again, was shocked.
Because it was not someone else. It was the current patriarch of the Marsh Family, Rowan.
"Chief, you..."
At this time, Luca's head was also swooned by them.
He didn't understand what was in Rowan's mind.
Rowan smiled and said, "Luca, come here. Let me introduce you. This gentleman is Coby Marsh. He is the real leader of the Marsh family."
As soon as he finished his words, Luca couldn't help but tremble violently.
Coby? The real leader?
A thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly remembered the words that Jara had said to him when he went to see him.
"It was Coby who asked you to come over?"
It turned out that Jara knew him! In other words, the person who made the deal with Jara last time was also not Rowan, but...
Upon Luca's realization, his pupils dilated out of shock.
But Rowan didn't care about his reaction.
Anyway, it was Coby's idea to meet Luca.
Since he dared to do so, he had naturally thought about what would happen next.
So he was not worried at all that Luca would expose his secret.
Raising his hand, Coby explained calmly. "I know you have a lot of questions. Don't worry. Sit down and we can talk."
At the very moment, Luca's emotions were all over the place.
He had always thought that it Rowan was the one who gave the orders, and he always took Rowan's order as his priority.
But it was only now that he knew that there was someone else behind Rowan.
Judging from the way they interacted, Rowan seemed to respect the man in front of him who seemed to be two years younger than him.
Just who was he? What sort of status did he withhold in the Marsh Family?
Why would Rowan listen to him?
What was he seeking for the Jade of Heaven?
There was a series of questions forming in his mind, and they were all in a mess, which made him confused.
However, he sat down as instructed.
Coby brewed a pot of tea and poured in three cups for each of them. Then he said lightly, "Do you know the origin of the Marsh Family?"
In response to the question, Luca gave a violent shudder.
Of course, he knew the origin of the family.
Every single one of the Marsh Family's disciples, had only one thing to do when they were young, which was to memorize the family rules.
On the family rules, the origin of the family was stated.
In truth, since a long time ago, Marsh Family was an unattainable rich family.
It had been traced back to a thousand years back.
At that time, this continent was still in the era of war. The person who was known as the Emperor here was from the Roth family.
It was a different era back then, and at that time, every Emperor that the Roth Family respectfully served was a female.
In that era, they were called Empress.
At that time, rather than the Empress, it was the High-Priest who was in charge of the political affairs.
The Empress was more like a totem, a symbol, and a figure who was admired by all people.
As for the High-Priest, he was the one who would show face in events and ruled the country.
Everyone respected the High-Priest, and they were more afraid of him than they were to the Empress.
Therefore, there was a saying where the Empress was titled as the Empress, but the High-Priest was appointed as the Second Emperor. In other words, he was the person who ruled the land.
Coincidentally, the Marsh Family was the last High Priest at that time.
That dynasty died in the hands of the Marsh Family. As for what had happened, many records were written in ancient books, and rumors were circling the community. There were all kinds of stories.
However, according to the family rules of the Marsh Family, the history was kept a secret and rarely mentioned.
However, what was amazing was that although the dynasty had collapsed, the Marsh Family didn't.
Furthermore, after disappearing for two centuries, the Marsh Family regained power in a miraculous way.
For thousands of years, the Marsh Family had participated in all kinds of businesses, politics, and military affairs.
On this land, they had seen many instances of war and slaughter, and of peace and harmony.
As the world changed, the only thing that did not change was that the Marsh Family was growing stronger and stronger, and that they were becoming more and more secretive.
The Marsh Family was like an enormous tree. The treetops that were revealed were already frighteningly strong, but in reality, the roots hidden beneath them were even stronger.
