The Ronney Group headquarters was on the northern side of Ronney City. Once they got there, Sophia did not see modern skyscrapers, but a stretch of bright yellow palatial buildings.

‘Stretching over 150 kilometers, it covered the sun in the sky. From the north of Mount Abbey, it meandered west, reaching all the way to Islesbury. The two rivers flowing gently penetrated the palace walls. At every five steps there stood a storeyed building, and at each ten, there stood a pavilion with corridors winding like waving silk and projecting eaves turning up like birdsʼ bills. Each of the structures possessed its vantage above the ground, but they were all brilliantly interlocked together, or set against one another.’ This ancient passage popped up in Sophia’s mind.

A moat, vermilion red palace walls, and an endless stretch of palatial buildings. This is basically a palace! It was even bigger than the Imperial Palace Museum that used to be next to their house. No, it was way bigger. But, this was not an imperial palace because it did not get destroyed during the war. In fact, it had incorporated the essence of ancient traditional buildings and modern technology. This structure was huge!

It looked like the Yard Family was still scheming. Were they getting ready to stage their comeback?

If it were not for the cars coming in and out of the palace entrance and those busy workers of Ronney Group, Sophia would have thought that she had traveled through time.

Outside the palace walls, there were several subway stations and several tourists taking photos.

Centuries ago, the Yard Family declared that they were the legitimate Cethosians. They even brought Cethos into the United Nations. After that, however, Cethos became more developed and slowly grew in power. Eventually, they forced the Yard Family out of the United Nations.

Dressed up as a bodyguard, Michael had a pair of sunglasses on and a dog in his arms. When he saw the imperial palace that stretched on endlessly, he scoffed, “The Yard Family… They were abandoned by Cethos like a rat on the street then they rushed to pack up all their valuables and jewelry to escape to this place. How dare they call themselves legitimate?”

Even though he had passed the age of an angry youth, Michael, as a fellow soldier, could not stop himself from disparaging the Yard Family.

“They are the biggest Cethosian conglomerate in the world. Their influence on the international front is big, but they have never thought about using it to help the social position of Cethosians abroad. In fact, they colluded with foreigners to suppress Cethosians. In what way are they considered legitimate?”

 

Four centuries ago, the Yard Family was a debauched monarch while the Fletcher Family was a loyal servant. When the Fletchers saw how reckless the Yards were getting, they overturned the imperial court and became rebels, chasing the Yard Family out of Cethos.

A century ago, the Yard Family became traitors who colluded with foreign entities. At the time, the Fletchers were warlords. While the Yard Family was attempting to stage their comeback, they were completely wiped out by the Fletcher Family.

 

In the present day, Cethos and the Yard Family were working together again. The Fletchers and the Yards could not kill each other at first sight like they used to anymore, but they were undoubtedly unhappy about that.
