Chapter 268: New Opportunities and Uninvited Guests
Ellis POV
It came again, out of the clear sky on a crisp fall day. A sense of uneasiness that always came when there were no dragons to slay or enemies to fight. Resistance was in my blood, the Peterson family motto basically translated to, “Come and Have A Go If You Think You’re Hard Enough.”
We thrived on adversity and were cozy in chaos. Threats from mortal enemies and attempted takeovers by rivals a Sunday walk in the park. It was part of how we’d become so successful. A legacy I fully inherited and was doing my best to carry on.
The downside was it could be crushing when things were going well. True happiness was like our kryptonite, reducing us to a mere shadow of what we could be. Miserably going through the motions.
