"They want to go to the Manoban Family with me," replied Lisa.
"T-Then are all of you going together?" asked Jennie.
He shook his head. "I didn't agree."
Jennie was puzzled. Weren't Rowoon and Sungjae part of the Manoban Family? Even if they hadn't evolved, were they not allowed to step into the Manoban Family's residence?
Could this evolved being's family be so cold and heartless? It was rather chilling. No matter what, they were descendants, and blood was thicker than water.
Lisa noticed that something was wrong with her expression. "You're thinking that evolved beings are heartless and devoid of kinship."
She glanced at Lisa.
Could his evolution ability be mind reading?
He could even tell what she was thinking. Was her reaction that obvious?
Of course, since Lisa had sensed it, she replied bluntly, "That's what I thought. Don't evolved beings have kinship?"
"No." Lisa put down the document in his hands and stared at her. "This is precisely because of kinship."
"Because of kinship?"
Jennie was even more confused when she heard him.
They chased away descendants who weren't evolved beings because of kinship?
"Evolved beings are extremely dangerous. Because of the inheritance rights, they fight both openly and secretly. Those who aren't evolved beings don't have to get involved and suffer," Lisa explained.
"Is that so..." she fell into deep thought.
"Besides, hidden dangers aside, the external dangers are even deadlier. The conflict between the two factions will put the non-evolved faction in an even more dangerous situation. Therefore, almost all the evolved being factions send their non-evolved descendants away, thus ensuring that they will never have to worry about food or clothing," explained Lisa.
Jennie fell into deep thought.
Lisa's explanation made sense.
When it came to a large clan like evolved beings, there was indeed a risk that many ordinary people couldn't see. It would actually be good if they could send away the non-evolved descendants who didn't have the ability to protect themselves and ensure that they didn't have to worry about food or clothing.
From the looks of it, she had misunderstood the evolved beings' families.
"Therefore, I don't want Sungjae and the rest to interact too much with the Manoban Family. The more they interact, the more dangerous it will be. I can't always be by their side to protect them. Even my father is the same," Lisa explained.
"Okay, I understand. If you want to go back, you'll have to be careful and cautious." Jennie glanced at him, looking worried.
Lisa had mentioned earlier that the Manoban Family was embroiled in hidden and open strife because of the family's inheritance.
"It's fine. Who would care about an exiled young man?" Lisa chuckled softly.
At the mention of exile, she recalled Tang Rong's words. No matter what Lisa said, she still felt uneasy.
...
The next morning, Bambam arrived at Cloud Manor. He and Lisa left for the Manoban Residence shortly.
Bambam didn't explain why the Manoban Family had sent Lisa back. Perhaps even he didn't know.
After Lisa left, Jennie headed to the office.
