Cato Cain swirled the wine glass in his hand, speaking indifferently, “There are some things that I should tell you.”

Ethan Smith stared at Cato Cain in front of him, feeling a bit nervous.

He took a deep breath and said slowly, “I want to know everything about the Taylor family.”

Cato Cain seemed to have expected this.

He didn’t speak for a while, just swirling the wine glass in his hand.

After a moment, Cato Cain spoke slowly, “The strength of the Taylor family is beyond your imagination. Even in Capital City, they rank among the top few.” Ethan Smith nodded repeatedly but didn’t interrupt Cato Cain’s words.

Cato Cain continued, “The complexity of such a large family is beyond your imagination.”

“Although the Taylor family is strong, it’s not as invulnerable as it appears on the outside.”

Ethan Smith couldn’t help but frown, “What do you mean?”

Cato Cain glanced at Ethan Smith and said, “The Taylor family may seem unbreakable on the outside, but inside, it’s stormy.”

“The reason why the Taylor family hasn’t fallen apart is because Mike Taylor is still alive.”

“As long as he’s around, the Taylor family won’t topple.” Ethan Smith’s face looked a bit ugly.

He couldn’t help but recall what Dexter Blair had said.

Mike Taylor’s life was already coming to an end.

Ethan Smith quickly looked at Cato Cain, waiting for his continuation.

Cato Cain continued, “In such a large family, the number of branches is beyond your imagination. They call themselves family, but they’re actually fighting internally.”

“Mike Taylor has four sons, and each one of them is vying for the position of head of the Taylor family.”

“For example, Miss Taylor’s father, Hugh Taylor, his status in the Taylor family is not as high as you might think.”

Ethan Smith remained silent, not knowing what to think.

Cato Cain continued, “But because Mike Taylor favors Miss Taylor, Hugh

Taylor has been able to rise with the tide.”

“But what about after Mike Taylor dies? Will Hugh Taylor be able to maintain his current status then?”

“And Miss Taylor, will she still be the pearl of the Taylor family’s palm?”

Ethan Smith’s face looked even worse, and he said somewhat resentfully, ‘Even if Mike Taylor really dies, his four sons are still blood brothers…”

“Blood brothers?” Cato Cain sneered at this.

“There’s no real affection in a large family. In the face of interest, even the closest relationships aren’t worth mentioning.”

At this point, Cato Cain looked at Ethan Smith and said, “I have some bad news for you.”

“Among the four branches of the Taylor family, the strongest is the eldest, Kylan Taylor.”

“And the relationship between Kylan Taylor and Hugh Taylor is not good, it can even be said to be very bad.”

“Because of Mike Taylor’s favoritism towards Miss Taylor, Kylan Taylor has become resentful.”

Ethan Smith’s brows were furrowed tightly.

He couldn’t understand these large families, nor could he understand the struggles between them.

“What person on top hasn’t climbed up there accompanied by blood and tears? To them, emotions have long been discarded.” Cato Cain shook his head, seemingly a bit helpless.

Ethan Smith remained silent.

He picked up his wine glass and drained it in one gulp.

Ethan Smith had not expected that Emily Taylor was also facing a difficult situation.

“Mike Taylor is still alive, and Miss Taylor can protect you now, but once he dies, I’m afraid she won’t even be able to protect herself.” Cato Cain put down his wine glass.

Ethan Smith suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis!

Although he didn’t understand the internal struggles of the Taylor family, he knew one thing clearly.

That was, once Mike Taylor dies, it would mean Emily Taylor’s position would rapidly decline! She might even bring trouble upon herself!

“Ethan Smith, Miss Taylor has high expectations for you,” Cato Cain said indifferently.

Ethan Smith clenched his fists, his eyes filled with determination as he looked at Cato Cain.

“I won’t let her down.”

“If one day she really falls into a difficult situation, I won’t let her suffer any injustice.”

“Even if the opponent is the Taylor family, or the Blair family!”

Cato Cain laughed.

He patted Ethan Smith on the shoulder and said, “Ethan Smith, some things can’t be accomplished just by talking. Without absolute strength, you have no right to say this.”

“Although your progress is incredibly fast, your current achievements mean nothing in front of the Taylor family.”

Ethan Smith fell silent, knowing that the gap between him and the Taylor family was huge, but he didn’t expect it to be so overwhelming.

“I hope you can protect Miss Taylor for the rest of her life, ” Cato Cain said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Ethan Smith looked at Cato Cain and said earnestly, “I will make Emily stand at the peak of Capital City.”

“Not that I’m looking down on you, but this is unrealistic,” Cato Cain shook his head.

“Unless you can become the next Ignacio Burke before Mike Taylor dies.”

Ignacio Burke, it was Ignacio Burke again.

Ethan Smith had heard that name countless times!

After a long silence, he looked up at Cato Cain and asked, “What kind of level does Ignacio Burke belong to? What kind of realm is he in?”

Cato Cain looked at Ethan Smith and said lightly, “In short, he is a being beyond the Grandmaster. When he was thirty years old, he had already reached the realm of Marquis.”

Marquis?

It was the first time Ethan had heard of this realm.

Cato Cain smiled and said, “In any case, you just need to know that the strength of a Marquis far exceeds that of a Grandmaster.”

“Even a hundred Peak Form of Grandmasters aren’t worth mentioning in front of a Marquis.”

Ethan Smith nodded and said, “I understand.”

At this point, Ethan Smith looked at Cato Cain and asked somewhat puzzledly,

“Why are you suddenly telling me all this?”

Cato Cain sighed and said, “To be honest, I didn’t think much of you when I first met you.”

Ethan Smith nodded. He was well aware of this.

“But I didn’t expect you to make such achievements in such a short period.”

“Moreover… I really like your unyielding spirit, even in the face of families and forces far beyond your reach.”

“Nowadays, who isn’t bowing and scraping, clinging to life?”

Cato Cain sighed slightly, as if lamenting something.

Ethan Smith felt the same way. He was also aware that every person at the top had climbed there with blood and flesh, and through plundering resources.

This led to the people at the bottom always having to look up at them. “Let’s not talk about this anymore, I should go,” Cato Cain stood up and said.

“Thank you for the wine. The taste isn’t great, but I like it.”

After saying this, Cato Cain was ready to leave.

“Wait!”

At this moment, Ethan Smith suddenly called out to Cato Cain.

He stared at Cato Cain and asked, “Who is stronger between you and Dexter Blair?”

Cato Cain fell silent for a moment before saying, “Dexter Blair is the legitimate son of the Blair family. The resources he enjoys are not something I can compare to.”

Although Cato Cain did not say it outright, his meaning was quite clear. “By the way, I’ve got some bad news.”

“Kylan Taylor, the eldest son of the Taylor family, has close relations with the

Blair family. If Mike Taylor were to die, Kylan Taylor would most likely marry Emily to Dexter Blair..”
