Norton nodded in agreement. All these years, no one in the Nicholas Family had been able to advance to the realm of the Great Mage. This had caused their family clan to suffer oppression by the other two family clans. Many of their clansmen did not even dare to make a sound when they were bullied outside. They could only swallow their anger. However, now that he had advanced to the realm of the Great Mage, although he did not dominate the entire city, he could at least strengthen the backbone of his family clan by releasing this news. Moreover, the businesses of the family had improved a lot recently, and he had the ability to celebrate.

Thus, the Nicholas family clan held a grand celebration. When the clansmen knew that the head of the family clan had advanced to become a Great Mage, they shed tears of joy and drank until they were dead drunk.

News of the family clan’s grand celebration quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Winterfrost. Almost everyone knew that the head of the Nicholas family clan had become a Great Mage.

Cyril Grimm, the eldest son of the Grimm Family, thought of this as a very important piece of information when he heard the news. Immediately, he hurried to look for his father in his room; this was the room of the current patriarch of the Grimm family clan, Maril.

He had always barged in and never knocked on the door. This time, he had such an important piece of news to report to his father, so there was naturally no need for him to knock on the door. He barged in directly.

“Father, it’s bad. Something big has happened,” Cyril Grimm said, making a fuss.

Maril, who was studying an ancient book and did not think that someone would suddenly barge in, had a rude shock. If it had been a family servant, he would definitely beat him directly to death. However, this was his son, so he could not do anything. He was his beloved son. Would he beat him to death over such a triviall matter?

“How many times have I told you not to make a fuss? Do you know how unbecoming it is to be charging around like this?” Maril chided.

“Alright, alright, Father. I know what you’re saying, but I have something very important to tell you right now.” Cyril did not care at all about his father’s reprimand.

“What’s so important?” Maril could not do anything about this son; he could only ask him the questions so that he could finish what he wanted to say and leave quickly.

“Norton, the head of the Nicholas family, had just become a Great Mage,” Cyril said with an exaggerated expression.

“Oh? Norton, that old fellow, had become a Great Mage? Wasn’t he only a level-8 Mage?” Maril asked, puzzled.

Cyril said, “That’s right. There are quite a few levels to get from a level-8 Mage to a Great Mage. How could he suddenly become a Great Mage? As such, this old man must have concealed his cultivation base. He must have already become a level-12 Mage a long time ago but has kept it a secret all this while. It looks like he’s up to no good.”

“Hehe.” Upon hearing this, Maril laughed.

Cyril replied, “Father, why are you laughing? Am I wrong?”

Maril said, “You’re right. This old fellow is indeed guarding against us. So what if he has become a Great Mage? He’s just a newly promoted Great Mage, much like a level-12 Mage. There’s no difference to us at all. He’s just an ant albeit a slightly bigger ant. We don’t have to worry at all.”

Cyril thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

“But Father, I’ve noticed that their family has been a little strange recently. It seems like they have been very lucky.”

“Oh? Tell me about it,” Maril looked at the ancient book, and then asked.

Cyril said, “Recently, their businesses have also suddenly improved significantly. A new type of tea has been introduced into their teahouse, and it tastes great. People are queuing to buy it now, and our household has also been going to their teahouse to buy tea. And there is still their clothing store. In short, their businesses are much better than before, and their family clan seems to have also developed a brand new product. They’re currently hiring workers and building a factory.”

“Oh? In that case, their luck has really turned for the better.”

“That’s right. Moreover, all this has happened after the birth of that little fellow in their family. Previously, that Great Archmage…..”

“Shut up.” Cyril was reprimanded before he could finish. He quickly shut up. “Don’t speak about that matter again,” said Maril.

“I understand, Father.” Cyril said, “That old man had said that the little fellow from the Nicholas family clan has great luck. I wonder if it is his birth that has brought so much good luck upon the Nicholas family clan?”

Maril pondered for a moment before saying, “I don’t know about that either. Luck is really somewhat mysterious. Even the likes of the Divine Mage can’t completely grasp it, let alone me.”

“Shall we ask Grandpa?”

Maril said solemnly, “Your grandfather is at the critical moment of his advancement. Let’s not disturb him.”

“Got it, Father.” Cyril took a glance at the ancient text on the table, and said, “Father, are there any details about luck in this ancient text?” It was quite clear that Cyril also knew about this ancient text.

Maril said, “No. Don’t say anything about this ancient book too, lest others remember it.”

“Got it.”

“If there’s nothing else, you can leave. I’m going to continue to study this ancient text. As for the Nicholas family clan, you just have to keep an eye on them. A mere Great Mage can’t do much.”

“Alright, Father. I’ll be leaving now.”

After that, Cyril turned around and left. Maril flipped open the ancient book in his hand; the title of the book was ‘Luck-Plundering Skill’. It was actually the same as the ‘Luck-Plundering Skill” Romo had obtained. He flipped to one of the pages and started to read it carefully. The title of this page was ‘Family Fate Plunder Formation’.

…..

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. In this half a month, the Nicholas family clan had developed very rapidly. Their businesses were booming. The money earned in this half a month was comparable to the amount earned in the past year. This made everyone happy from the bottom of their hearts, especially now that the family head had advanced to the realm of the Great Mage. This made everyone in the family clan proud. It made everyone feel as if they had been revived. Overall, the entire family was rapidly improving and becoming stronger.

The family would worship Romo every day.. In this half a month, Romo had accumulated more than 30,000 Faith Points.
