Of course, everything has its pros and cons. The hidden bloodline is not easy to awaken, but once it is activated and transformed into a dantian, the cultivation speed will advance by leaps and bounds. In the memories of his previous life, Samuel Foster managed to awaken it by chance, and in just half a year, he became the leading figure among the younger generation in Luoshui City, even winning the championship of the Talented Youth Competition and obtaining the Luoshui Golden Shield!
However, all of that happened a year later. At least for now, in the eyes of others, Samuel Foster is still a good-for-nothing!
“This kind of pure yang attribute pill, I can refine it. Why not take this opportunity to do someone a favor…”
Thinking of this, a plan slowly formed in William Nash’s mind.
Even if I don’t help this Samuel Foster, he’ll get his chance in half a year anyway. I might as well take the opportunity to do him a favor and make a little profit on the side!
The only heir of the The Foster Family, as long as he awakens his bloodline factor, he’ll have rights second only to the clan leader! Just this status alone is worth my effort right now!
“Hehe, that’s true. Brother Foster just came out today to relax, let’s not dwell on these unhappy things!” Emily Nash laughed.
The two chatted casually for a while. Although William Nash still couldn’t figure out their relationship, no matter what Samuel Foster said, Emily Nash would flatter him and take the chance to say a few more words. Samuel Foster was already feeling down, but after a while, both host and guest were enjoying themselves.
“This Emily Nash is not simple!”
After listening for a while and seeing that the other party didn’t ask for any wine, William Nash just quietly stayed to the side, secretly on guard.
A young master from a fallen branch being able to get close to the The Foster Family young master and even chat so “happily” with him—there’s no denying that this Emily Nash is no ordinary character. No wonder in my previous life he forced my sister to her death, and I never realized it was the Richard Nash branch behind it all!
“Young master, young master…”
As the two were talking, a servant walked over.
“The young master is entertaining guests. What is it?” The steward John Nash went out, and after a while, came back in with a grave expression.
“Young master…”
“What is it? Can’t you see I’m busy?” Emily Nash raised his eyebrows.
“Henry Nash branch’s Little Grace Nash is here to see you…” John Nash hesitated for a moment, then cupped his fists and spoke.
“Is it time to get to the main event?” Seeing this, William Nash, standing to the side, sneered.
To be honest, seeing the other party set up this kind of scene, he already understood Emily Nash’s plan. His sister had come to see him in the morning but hadn’t been received. Now, bringing her out here on purpose was clearly to make it seem natural to Samuel Foster, laying the groundwork for the next steps!
My cousin comes to borrow money, so of course she’ll join us at the table. Then, when you suddenly act like a beast… Even if Samuel Foster is smart, he probably wouldn’t realize he’s already fallen into their trap!
“Why… why is she coming at this time? Just tell her I’m entertaining guests and don’t have time to see her!” Emily Nash waved his hand.
“But she said it’s urgent, young master. No matter what, Little Grace Nash is your cousin. If word gets out that you refused to see her… it wouldn’t look good in the clan!” John Nash looked troubled.
“I said I won’t see her, and that’s that… So what if she’s my cousin! Today I’m keeping Brother Foster company, and I won’t discuss anything else!” Emily Nash deliberately furrowed his brow.
This kind of back-and-forth routine to lure someone in, William Nash had seen countless times in his previous life and recognized it at a glance. However, while he could see through it, Samuel Foster could not. Hearing Emily Nash say this, not only did he fall for it, he even thought Emily Nash was very loyal, and quickly waved his hand, saying, “Your cousin came at this time, maybe it’s something important. You don’t have to worry about me!”
“Well… since Brother Foster said so, fine, let Little Grace in!” Emily Nash pretended to be reluctant and gave the order.
“Yes!” Emily Nash responded and walked out. Soon, a girl followed him in.
The girl was dressed plainly, with a hint of sorrow between her brows and a slightly frail body, making people feel a sense of pity.
“Sister… it really is my sister!”
Even though he knew his sister was coming, when William Nash saw her in person, he still couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion!
Although his sister was only a year older than him, she had always taken special care of him since they were young. The day she was forced to commit suicide, he cried his heart out for a whole day. Every time he thought of it, it felt like a knife twisting in his heart, and he was filled with regret!
Sometimes he often wondered, if he had been more resolute back then, his sister might not have died, and there wouldn’t be such a regret!
Besides, the reason his sister was forced was all because her younger brother was useless and couldn’t pay the fine after causing trouble!
However, even though William Nash was stirred inside, his face remained calm and unreadable, and no one noticed anything unusual.
“Emily Nash cousin, I… I came this time to borrow some money from you…”
As soon as she entered the room, Little Grace Nash’s slightly pale face flushed red.

“Borrow money?” Emily Nash probably already knew her intention, but still pretended to be surprised and froze for a moment.
“Mm…” Although this cousin was not a close relative, it still felt awkward to ask for money right after meeting, so Little Grace Nash nervously rubbed the corner of her clothes like a child who had done something wrong.
“Sister…” Seeing Little Grace Nash like this, so pure and innocent, William Nash felt even more upset.
