Capítulo 693: Giving Chase

"Dad, just what happened?" A girl shouted in a hurry upon seeing her family load all their valuables in a carriage that sped out of the city. "Why are we fleeing from the Clan?"

"Why else?" Her father snapped back in response, "I failed to protect a valuable object. So, unless you wish to be demoted into the lowest of branch families and serve the Clan for the rest of your life, we have to escape."

"Is that so…?" The girl sighed, muttering in disappointment, "Too bad. There was a lot left for me to do back there."

She then thought of something, watching the carriage enter a forest trail, looking back to see that none were chasing after them, asking her father, "But dad, how will we develop our powers after this? Only the Lan Clan rears the eagles. Without that, we can never grow stronger."
