Bab 182: The first item

"What do you think is the reason for their attacks?" Dudian asked.

Old Fulin pondered for a moment before answering: "If I'm not mistaken, Milan family was preparing for a marriage with Burong family two years ago. Would it be because of that?"

"Marriage?" Dudian was startled. He was silent for asking: "What was the result?"

Old Fulin shook his head. "The little miss of the Burong family didn't agree to the marriage. Moreover, the Mel family secretly intervened to prevent the marriage too. After all, once the Burong and Milan families would get connected by marriage, then they would be the biggest force within the Mellon Consortium. The side that would be affected most would be the Mel family. Although the Mel and Burong family are interconnected in more than one way, you never know what is going to happen after the other two sides get blood relations."
