Chapter 1002 An Old Tale
Therefore, Luca could not be blamed for panicking. After all, that was too sudden for him to learn that the person who had the power to manage the entire family had changed.
No matter how hard he tried to reason with it, he couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.
Of course Coby knew what he was thinking.
In a low voice, he uttered. "Do you remember the name of the first chief of Marsh Family?"
As soon as he finished his words, Luca was completely taken aback.
If he remembered correctly, the name of the first clan leader of the Marsh Family seemed to be... Coby Marsh!
Right. That was his name.
Suddenly, he realized something. Although he felt it was inconceivable, he still widened his eyes in disbelief.
Seeing Luca's reaction, Coby curled his lips slightly and did not speak.
It was obvious to Luca there was a sense of firmness in Coby's eyes and the superiority that had been cultivated for a long time of being in that position.
In an instant, his heart throbbed violently.
Then, Rowan said promptly, "Greet Chief Marsh immediately!"
All of a sudden, Luca's face turned pale as his sweat seeped out of his forehead profusely.
Shaking his head in disbelief as he murmured, "I-It's impossible, how could it be..."
Yes, as an atheist who grew up in the new era, he could not believe that anyone could live for a thousand years!
A thousand years later, his bones should have already turned to ashes. Otherwise, he would have been turned into a stone. How could he be alive?!
However, Coby had completely capture Luca's horror with his eyes.
He was not surprised at all. After all, according to the education Luca had received and the world he lived in, it would be strange if he really believed that Coby was really a person from a thousand years ago upon hearing it.
Hence, Coby smiled faintly. He was not in a hurry and took a sip of tea.
After putting it down, he said softly, "Nothing is impossible. Although it's indeed beyond imagination, it's not impossible. Miracles always exist in the world, isn't it?"
Rowan echoed, "Yes, yes, you're right."
He was chosen by Coby single-handedly. The day he saw Coby was the day he succeeded to the position.
At the very beginning, he was in disbelief too. In fact, he was unhappy to learn that there was someone else behind the person whom he thought was the real chief at the time.
But after so many years, he gradually realized that Coby was indeed powerful and smart.
If he disobeyed him, he was afraid that he would lose his life, let alone the position of the chief.
On top of that, Rowan thought, as an ordinary human like him, he was not a match to Coby's mysterious and powerful nature.
Gradually, Rowan let go of his dissatisfaction.
Although Coby was powerful, he did not care much about the family's internal interests.
In his eyes, money was only a materialistic possession.
In his daily life, he was not extravagant at all.
In order to please him, Rowan even brought him some of the rarest treasures in this era. But he only took a glance at it.
Later, Coby even asked him to take it away impatiently and forbade Rowan to bring it to him again.
Only then did Rowan realize that the man in front of him had no real interest in money.
It was understandable. The entire Marsh Family belonged to him. In fact, it could even be said that he had built them on his own.
How could he take a fancy to a small amount of money?
There was nothing he couldn't get hold of as long as he wanted to.
Even if he wanted to replace the chief, he only needed to say a word. If he revealed himself and stated his status, many would worship him. There was no need for him to ask for someone else's help, or obtain anything from others.
Of course, there would be some people who did not believe it.
But Rowan believed that Coby definitely had his own means and ability to convince those people.
Just like the Luca in front of him.
At the sight of Luca's pale face, and his sweat that kept falling down, he said lightly, "It's normal that you can't accept it for a while. I can give you time, eventually, you will accept it."
His tone was so flat that it sounded like he was talking about a day-to-day matter like eating and sleeping.
He had no idea about the storm that was stirring in Luca's heart at the moment.
Looking at him, Luca finally managed to calm down after awhile.
He asked, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this is too unbelievable. To be honest, if the Chief was not present today, I might have thought, thought..."
With a pause, he lowered his head.
Coby smiled.
His smile resembled the cool breeze and the bright moon, which was very gentle.
"Thought that I'm a liar?"
Luca nodded his head with embarrassment.
"It's normal."
With a faint smile, he picked up the teapot and poured tea into the empty cup on the table.
"If you don't believe me, there's another way to verify it."
As he spoke, he placed down the teapot on the table and raised his hand.
Then, Luca saw something unusual.
The cup in front of Luca seemed to be possessed by magic. As Coby raised his hand, the cup flew into his hand with a swoosh.
It happened so fast that Luca didn't had time to process what he had seen. In the next second, the cup was already in Coby's hand.
Seeing that, Luca widened his eyes in shock.
Then, Coby returned the cup and placed it back in front of him. With a smiled, he said, "Do you believe me now?"
At that moment, Luca was so frightened that he was at a loss for word.
W-What was this called?
Teleporting?
Was he performing a magic trick?
Seeing that he was still in disbelief, Coby let out a sigh and shook his head as if she had a headache.
"Well, it seems that you still don't believe me. I'll show you something else."
As he said that, he suddenly looked up again. This time, he was not aiming at the cup, but at a pot of flowers placed on the flower rack about three meters away from them.
With an indifferent expression, Coby exerted a little force on his wrist, then suddenly, the flower pot seemed to be possessed by magic. "Whoosh!" It flew over.
The next second, Coby was already holding flower pot in his hand.
Then, he looked at Luca again.
"Do you believe it this time?"
At that moment, to say that Luca's face was pale was an understatement.
His face was as white as sheet as he looked at Coby as if he was looking at a monster.
After a long while, he lost his voice and managed a few words. "You... Where did you learn this ability?"
In a deep voice, Rowan glared. "How dare you speak to him like that?"
Suddenly, Luca's heart skipped a beat.
Raising his hand, he stopped Rowan's scolding, and replied faintly, "A long time ago, a lot of martial arts on this continent had not disappeared. You can't learn it now. It's only because I learn it early. This is not a big deal, and it's not the magic you think is. With your language, I am only controlling the airflow and some internal force."
