The Million-Dollar Heart
Chapter 566
Vivienne could not help but think it probably would not be that easy.
This kind of thing, straight out of a fantasy novel, had her utterly gobsmacked.
Telekinesis? It sounded like something out of a fairy tale.
But her shock didn't last long. Vivienne was the type to believe that the world was full of wonders beyond the grasp of her imagination.
"So that's how it is. Quite fascinating," she mused.
As they spoke, their takeout arrived. Thus, the two of them chatted away while chowing down.
Vivienne crunched on a piece of crispy duck skin, saying, "I've heard that these ancient warrior lineages are usually hidden from the world. So why did the Martinez family decide to go public? And what about the Boyd family? Why were they kicked out of this secret society?"
Gnawing on a duck drumstick, Maddox replied, "A big part of why the Boyd family got the boot was their restlessness. They were too greedy, trying to use the power and prestige of the ancient warrior lineage to monopolize the market and control the economy. They even harassed the Martinez family, attempting to snatch away their arms-dealing rights. After their scheme was exposed, they decided to exile them and neutralize their special techniques so they could not pass them on and cause more trouble.
As for why our family and the Martinez family decided to go public..." Maddox belched, "Well, that's a long story. You might've heard about that one family that crossed the lineage and then vanished overnight? Vivienne nodded. "I've heard rumors. How did they manage to offend the ancient warrior lineage? Does it have anything to do with the Perez or the Martinez families?"
"We're all quite peaceable," Maddox said, taking a swig of cola. "The family that got wiped out was also part of the lineage but more on the fringes. Their surname was Sheldon." Vivienne's grip tightened.
Sheldon!
There was only one Sheldon that she knew of - Finnian!
Finnian, whose real name was Ulysses Sheldon.
And she had never known that Finnian was part of the ancient warrior lineage.
Maddox continued, "The Sheldon family's forte was more mystical - they were seers."
