Chapter 1042: Chapter 142 Opportunity Comes_1

The Hawkins Family was a grand clan where struggles for power, cultivation, and survival were inevitable. In a dilapidated room within the family compound, two identical Sisters Taylor were looking at the middle-aged man on the bed who could no longer rise.

"Dad!"

The sisters felt as if the sky was collapsing. Today, when their father was carried back, he was completely paralyzed. It was said that he fell from a mountain and got injured, but the sisters knew, that their father, even though he was at the Nascent Soul Stage and considered mediocre in the Hawkins Family, the notion that he had fallen from a mountain and got hurt was unbelievable.

Yet, even if they understood the truth, what could they do? Their family, because their father married a woman not favored by the elders, had been cast aside and neglected. Their mother was even secretly harmed, and now the entire family was disdained. They had no resources for cultivation and even their monthly living expenses were withheld. Such a family was at the very bottom of the Hawkins Family.

Now that their father was in this condition, it left the two sisters feeling they had lost their support.

"I’ve made you suffer!"

The lying man let out a bitter laugh. Today, he had been beaten by a favored member of the family and he truly couldn’t speak of it, otherwise, the Sisters Taylor might only face death.

It was evident that those he had offended wanted him dead!

His dantian was empty, the robust True Qi that had once filled it had disappeared. Dexter Wilson felt like dying. However, the thought of his daughters being completely without hope if he were to die only left him staring blankly while lying there.

His two daughters were obedient and beautiful. At just twenty, they had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, even without resources. If they had resources, their growth would have been even greater. But who could blame him for lacking the ability? He heard they were to be sent to a smaller family in a Marriage Alliance, something Dexter Wilson didn’t want to see.

But!

As he thought of his own powerlessness against the colossal power of the Hawkins Family, his resolve wavered.

Just then, a voice carried over.

"All unmarried Hawkins family female direct descendants above fifteen and below the Nascent Soul should gather in the main hall."

The voice echoed through each room.

Upon hearing this voice, Dexter Wilson tried to rise in anxiety but was utterly immobile.

It’s over!

Dexter Wilson knew this was likely the selection of girls for the Marriage Alliance.

"Dad, it’s ok, we’ll go," said Elodie Grant after glancing at her younger sister Evelyn Grant, sighing inwardly. They had no means to resist the family’s actions, hoping only they wouldn’t marry an old man.

Of course, both sisters understood such hopes were futile; with their cultivation increasing, who couldn’t retain their youth?

Pulling her sister’s hand, the girls headed towards the hall, assuming this matter was surely aimed at the unfavored girls.

However, when Sisters Taylor arrived in the hall, the scene before them was astonishing; not only were all the unmarried direct lineage girls present, but even those from the collateral branches and some with a bit of power had been brought there by their elders. Furthermore, some influential people were arguing with those in charge.

"Sister, what exactly is going on?" asked Evelyn Grant quietly.

"I don’t know."

The sisters stood there, completely unaware of the situation.

After listening for a while, Evelyn spoke softly, "Sister, the patriarch has invited a powerful master who requires attendants. The patriarch has declared that whoever wins that person’s favor could elevate their entire family’s status to the top tier, and even make a request to the family."

Elodie Grant suddenly grasped her younger sister’s hand and said, "Dad’s injury!"

At that moment, Evelyn Grant also became anxious and said, "Can it save our father?"

Elodie Grant looked at the many beautiful women around and a bitter smile appeared on her face as she said, "It’s not our turn!"

Like a bucket of cold water poured over them, the Sisters Taylor knew that facing so many powerful families, they had no chance to compete.

Just then, a Mahayana stage master strode forward and announced to those present, "Only the qualified personnel stay here, the rest leave."

He was an elder of the Family, and no one dared to oppose his words; people quickly started to leave in large numbers.

The Great Elder, Morgan White, swept his Divine Sense through the crowd and, with one gesture, pulled out more than a dozen girls and said, "Such as these dare to come."

Soon, personnel arrived and took those girls away.

Morgan White swept his gaze again, reached out, and selected over thirty more girls to leave, saying, "Inadequate Spiritual Roots, take them away."

At this point, only thirty or so girls remained in the place.

Morgan White looked at these girls and then selected a few more, saying, "Those with defects, take them away."

As his gaze passed over, now only a little over ten people remained.

Morgan White looked at these more than ten individuals and said, "Dance the Fluttering Dance."

Elodie Grant looked at Kate Brown, and for the first time, the sisters felt hope. The girls of their family were required to participate in various forms of training from a young age, dance being one of them; both sisters had worked very hard and naturally passed this test.

This time, two more were eliminated.

Afterwards came the examinations in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and the Sisters Taylor indeed proved awesome, passing all the tests.

Morgan White looked at the five who had passed and then turned his gaze onto the Hawkins sisters and asked, "Are you from the same family?"

"We are, Great Elder," they replied.

A smile then appeared on Morgan White’s face as he said, "Indeed, the Sisters Taylor are qualified, very good. This is your opportunity, as well as an opportunity for the Hawkins Family. It is you two."

After he finished speaking and gave some instructions to someone beside him, he left.

They were selected!

The sisters were completely bewildered at this point. The Family had never taken anything as seriously as they had today; one could imagine how important this matter was to the Family. Just what kind of man was he?

Looking around, the Hawkins sisters realized that the way people were looking at them had grown complicated, even envious.

At that moment, a grandfatherly figure, a Crossing Tribulation master, came over smiling at the two girls and said, "Very good, very good. This is your opportunity, and perhaps a tremendous opportunity for the Family. If you can become that man’s woman, the opportunity will be even greater. Whether you can succeed depends on your own efforts; no matter what, you must become his woman!"

What exactly was this opportunity?

The emotions of the two girls were tangled at that time; being selected meant they would be given to the man brought back by the patriarch. At this point, they still didn’t know whether the man would want them, but if they could not gain the man’s favor, then once he left, what they faced might not be an opportunity, but rather a far more tragic consequence.

Gripping Kate Brown’s hand tightly, Elodie Grant made up her mind. No matter what, she had to become that man’s woman. Only in this way could she preserve her family and save her father.
