Chapter 135 The Table

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

While taking a sip of his drink, Fray took a look around the table with a calm expression. Next to Adam was sitting Elisa with the same empty expression on her face as usual. On the opposite side of her, on Elizabeth's side was Elisa's mother, Nora Parada, who was the tenth wife of the previous head of the family, and on Elisa's left side with an uneasy expression was sitting Emore Parada, who was the fifth wife of the former head of the family and the mother of Oliver Parada, who was the strongest among the younger generation of the Parada family. Then At her side was the young man who had come with her, whom Fray recognized as Emore's youngest and only surviving son, Liam Prada.

Then on the side of Elisa's mother was sitting one the most recent wives of the family, whose name was Sophia Parada, then on her side, there was Mia Parada the youngest and the latest wife of the previous head.

Then at the bottom of the table and across from each other was sitting a little boy who did not seem to have reached his teens yet, who was the last and youngest of the Parada family children, whose name was Noah Parada, and who was looking

uncomfortable and anxious as it seems he was afraid of the people sitting on the table, and this little boy was the son of Mia Parada. And then in the chair across from him was sitting a girl who seemed to be in her early teens, who had a strange aura surrounding her, and a calm expression on her face on

the opposite of Noah she did not seem to be afraid or even uncomfortable. Her name was Olivia Parada, and she was the only daughter of Sofia Parada.

Anas Parada who was in charge of the financial and political matters of Iskar City and Norman, the leader of the elite servants unit, were also direct members of the Parada family, but for some special reasons, they could not attend the dinner.

Usually, in such family gatherings the head of the family is the one who talks first and brings up topics, but Fray who had nothing to say just indulged in eating without saying anything, which made the family members fall into deathly silence

Although they do not show it directly, all those sitting around the table have in one way or another many bad experiences and hostile views towards each other, there are even those who will not hesitate to kill some of the people at this table if they have the opportunity. So they really weren't interested in starting conversations with each other.

Even Elizabeth, who was behind the idea of this dinner, found herself unable to deal with the deathly silence. After all, she is the most solitary person at the table and does not have any good relationships with the other Parada family members, which made her unable to start a conversation with anyone.

But suddenly breaking the silence, Nora, who was carrying a calm expression with a small smile on her face, said while looking at Adam, "Mr. Adam, it seems that you have recovered completely, I think you will be able to regain your previous power soon enough. This is truly very happy news for all the family."

Emore, who was immersed in her own thoughts as she sneaked a look at Fray with eyes full of anger and hatred, Nora's words caught her distracted attention. Two years ago, Emore left Iskar City with her youngest son to visit her family's home for some private reasons. But a few months ago, she received news of the disappearance of many members of the Parada family, including the head of the Parada family, her two sons, and many other personalities, in mysterious circumstances.

Immediately after hearing this news, she set out to return to Iskar City, but what she did not expect was that she would find that everything she knew in the city had changed so much that she had a hard time believing that she had actually returned to Iskar City in the first place.

She found out that the new head of the Parada family was Fray Parada, the child who had always been barbaric and violent. In addition, it seemed that the power of the Parada family had become so low that the neighboring cities dared to attack Iskar city directly.

And one of the most surprising developments is the news of the recovery of Adam Parada, who retired from the family many years ago due to an injury that even the most skilled healers were unable to cure. So Emore was very curious to know how Adam was able to heal his injury.

"Thank you, Mrs. Nora, yes soon I will be able to regain my full power" Adam

(Well, it doesn't matter how he's recovered, as far as I know, he doesn't like Fray so much, I think he will be a great help to me in the future) Emore thought, with a neutral face.

"So, Family Head, how was your trip to the Lionar Kingdom, did you accomplish your mission?" Nora asked again while looking at Fray, who was a little surprised after hearing Nora's question.

"Ah! Yes, we have completed the mission successfully." Fray, who was a little surprised by Nora's unexpected question, simply replied.

(Nora is really a very social person...) Elizabeth thought after seeing Nora's spontaneous attempts to break the awkward silence.

"Haha, that's good. In fact, we were very worried after hearing about what happened the night of the royal party. Fortunately, no one in the family got hurt. Did the royal family find any new evidence regarding the culprit?" with a smile on her face Nora asked curiously

The news of that night's event reached all corners of the continent, but no one knew the exact details of what happened that night in the Lionar Kingdom.

Although Fray, who was there, sent some reports regarding what happened that night, those reports reached only the active family members of the family such as Montaser, Adam, and the members of the Parada family council, so it is natural for Nora and the others not to know what exactly happened there. Naturally, she would be curious about that, after all, it was one of the biggest terrorist attacks that had occurred on the human continent in hundreds of years.

After hearing her mother's nosy questions, Elisa became a little uncomfortable, knowing that Fray is not a social person, and he doesn't really like to answer other people's questions if it is not necessary. With these thoughts in her mind, Elisa gave her mother a serious look to stop, but to no avail, Nora completely ignored Elisa and looked at Fray, waiting to hear his answer.
