Chapter 842 - "The Reason For The Sloan Family's Decline"

Ainsley was caught off guard. Obviously, they're talking about whether the twins could join the Sloan Family or not.

But out of the blue, Leroy mentioned the sacred beasts! Ainsley's eyes seemed to burn as she looked at Leroy.

"What do you mean? Since when can a mere heir have a chance to try to contract a sacred beast?"

Only family heads could try to contract the sacred beasts. That's the rule in the Sloan Family.

The Aretha Family might have more freedom in this aspect, and anyone could try as long as they're the Aretha Family's member.

But the Sloan Family only allowed the family head to have the privilege.

Maybe that's why the Sloan family deteriorated because only the family head could try to contact the sacred beasts.

But what if the sacred beast wanted someone else in the Sloan Family?

That certain someone didn't have a chance to contact the sacred beasts at all, instantly cutting off all the connections.

In the Aretha Family, whoever could contract one of the two sacred beasts would be the next family head.

That's why the new family head would always be competent.

Michael had also once contracted Vallan, but after his son, Raphael, became mature enough, he let go of Vallan.

Generally speaking, a contract with sacred beasts couldn't be cut off just like that, but passing the contract to your descendant was possible.

As long as the sacred beast didn't mind it.

If the sacred beast refused, they would be bonded until the master died of old age or died because of other reasons.

Fortunately, Vallan fancied Raphael, and that's how Raphael was determined to be the next Aretha family head.

In Ainsley's circumstance, she became the family head through the bloodline privilege.

Even if she was only three years old and was powerless, she became the new family head.

This system might be why the Sloan Family had deteriorated so much.

They followed an old tradition of monarchy, letting an incompetent leader lead their family as long as they're of a direct bloodline.

Speaking of direct bloodline, the twins were also direct bloodline because they both inherited Leroy's genes.

And so, they could actually become the Sloan Family Head.

In this situation, where there were many direct bloodlines, the higher-ups would choose the next family head through the sacred beasts' contract.

See which one of the three could contract a sacred beast.

That's why Ainsley was accepted readily after she contracted Cellino.

But if the twins could also contract the rest of the sacred beasts...

The higher-ups would pick up one who could contract the strongest sacred beast.

It's obviously not Cellino but Code-L.

Leroy knew a lot about the family's old tradition that even Ainsley couldn't change because it was their Sloan Family's identity and inheritance.

Even if the higher-ups were all very satisfied with Ainsley and were loyal to her, they also couldn't deny this tradition.

"Your siblings are also qualified to try to contract the other two sacred beasts. It's not like you have contracted them already, right?"

Ainsley's heart seemed to stop beating for a moment. Her whole body was like drowning in a freezing lake.

But as if it wasn't enough, Leroy raised an eyebrow and looked toward the mansion faraway.

"I think it's been more than three months since the last time you contracted this sacred beast?"

Leroy might not be a member of the Sloan Family anymore, but he also paid attention to the Sloan Family.

When the news about Ainsley contracting a sacred beast spread, one knew how jealous he felt toward his own daughter.

Everyone in the Sloan Family knew that the number of sacred beasts one could contract directly showed the family head's qualification.

Back then, he became the family head simply because of his bloodline advantage.

Actually, he had cousins and other relatives more capable than him, but he's the only son of Ainsley's grandfather.

After his grandpa died in the war, he automatically became the new family head.

But God knows how pressured he was. For several years, he had led the Sloan Family since when he was only twenty years old.

But he had never been able to attract the sacred beasts' attention, not to mention making a contract with them.

His father was also like this.

Many generations above Leroy also faced the same trouble, but Leroy didn't think it was the sacred beasts' fault for being too unresponsive.

He reviewed the previous generations' achievements and also believed that they were not a capable family head.

Leroy himself knew that he wasn't that strong or smart in particular. He's just handsome, but he's not suitable to be a family head.

Still, he wished he could contract the sacred beasts...

But who would have known that a mere toddler like Ainsley succeeded instead of him?!

That's how he thought of getting his children to try to contact the sacred beasts.

Anyway, if he calculated from the first time Ainsley contracted the sacred beast, it had been more than three months.

The time interval for each gate opening was three months.

If after that Ainsley didn't contract any new sacred beasts...

Didn't it mean she failed?

Leroy was sure that Ainsley failed to attract the other two sacred beasts.

She could only attract the weakest one, and that might also be because the sacred beast was too bored or something.

That sacred beast, Cellino, had always been unable to trigger his bloodline awakening.

God knows how he did it this time, but he's still the weakest among the three sacred beasts.

If one of his children managed to attract Code-B or even better, Code-L's attention…

Leroy's eyes flickered with a hint of ambition.

His children might be able to replace Ainsley?
