Bab 317: Chapter 290: Their Alliance will Eventually Lead to Trouble (3 more updates)

When Pierce arrived, the elders had already had a serious discussion.

It was unclear what Carl and the elders had talked about, but everyone seemed much more relaxed.

"Pierce, we called you here for a particular matter which you must be aware of. Being straightforward is always the best, so let me get to the point. The Fisher Family is still the leader among the Three Great Families of Sheffield, and our Stephens Family has always had the intention of forming an alliance through marriage. However, we have never been successful in this endeavor before."
