My Descendants Are My Power

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Who is Betty Martin?

As Nathan entered, Gary, still in his original for, opened his blood-red eyes and knelt on one knee, speaking human language.

"Greetings, Commander!"

"Truly a legacy left by the Supreme era!"

Once high and mighty, attempting to annihilate the Blackwoods, Gary became a zombie!

[Your descendant Nathan has been collecting the corpses of enemies for years, now refining them through 'Celestial Coffin Corpse Driving Technique' and 'Soul-Calling Calamity Formation'.]

[He has taken control of Gary's zombie. After capturing both his soul and body, Gary is left with only the strength of a D-level body. Zombie King achieved!]

[Through the 'Celestial Coffin Corpse Driving Technique', your descendant Nathan is working to make Gary even stronger. Using Tribute Offering, hearts of the deceased x1 million, Psychic skeletons x200,000, souls of the Psychic...]

Zombie King is a Developing Skill, while Celestial Zombie is Competent!

Nathan has always only refined zombies and flying zombies, as refining higher-level Zombie Kings or Celestial Zombies requires various materials and extremely intricate methods.

After two years of refining, today's Gary has finally gained a nascent intelligence, serving the Blackwoods!

"Another ace up our sleeve."

Ethan could hardly suppress his laughter, feeling immensely moved by the terrifying legacy of the 'Death Celestial Coffin' after Nathan took control of Gary.

He could already sense that if the zombies from the 'Death Celestial Coffin' and the souls collected over the years were to appear in the world, the enemies of the Blackwoods would hardly sleep well.

As Nathan continues to refine zombies and spirits, his supernatural abilities are also growing day by day. It won't be many years before he breaks through the mid-stage of Developing Skill.

...

Delighted about Gary being controlled, Ethan blinked.

"What's going on?"

Suddenly, a pop-up appeared on the screen.

[Congratulations, Betty Martin has given birth to a son for the Blackwoods, he has not yet been named by the family elders, please bring the child to the ancestral hall to name him soon.]

[Spiritual Tribute +3]

"Which little rascal secretly had a child without telling me???"

Ethan scratched his head frantically. Over the years, the Blackwood descendants have been busy growing and strengthening, and even the most charming Jeffrey, despite his flirtations, was always discreet, using fish bladders... It's been a long time since anyone in the family got married, so where did this child come from?

And who is Betty Martin???

Ethan didn't know whether to be happy about the birth of the newborn or angry about it.

He searched the entire family residence, clicking on the profiles of Blackwood members, but couldn't see anyone around. Since the guy didn't even have a name, he couldn't even search the member list, and Betty, who wasn't married, was unclickable!

"Ah? Where did this child come from?"

This completely baffled Ethan.

That day, the adult descendants of the Blackwoods scattered across Cloudview County all looked up, bewildered as Forebearer Cards floated by, tracing a question through the air.

[Do you know Betty Martin?]

[Have you had a baby recently?]

Luna was so scared she almost came out of the Sky Fox Secret Realm to ask Nathan for clarity. Julian, who was forging in the Thunderfire Demon Cave, frantically explained to Mary.

It took half a month before Olivia's message arrived, her intelligence network in full operation.

"Forebearer, there aren't many people with the surname Martin in Cloudview County."

Olivia rarely showed difficulty, "I don't know how Edward got involved with such a dignitary."

As Olivia elaborated in detail.

A pop-up appeared on the screen.

[Special Event—Descendant Stranded Abroad]

[In the year 91 of Blackwood, your descendant Edward, aged 13, while purchasing goods for Gratitude Village at an auction in Tranquil County, meets Betty, the young princess of the Duke's Mansion's estate. Edward, carrying the air of a wanderer and looking up to Lucas as his role model, though ordinary in appearance, is greatly favored by Betty.]

[Betty, aged 15, is in the bloom of youth when she bids farewell to Edward the night before returning to the lord's estate. That night, in the inn, the candlelight flickers behind thin curtains, and shadows dance behind beaded screens. The sounds of nightingales fill the room, and the shy moon hides behind clouds.

After this night, the young lovers part ways, with Betty returning to the lord's estate with her guard, promising to be together when they grow older.]

[In the year 92 of Blackwood, no one knows that Betty has given birth to a son. The Duke's Mansion, furious and unable to get Betty to reveal the father's identity, confines her. Betty threatens suicide, and the child survives.]

"..."

Ethan fell silent, always proud of his descendants' strength.

He was just about to suggest that Olivia formally ask for Betty's hand in marriage.

Then Olivia said, "Forebearer, this matter is intriguing. The Duke's Mansion's estate kept the birth of the child secret, surely there must be another reason. That girl Betty dared not tell the Duke's Mansion's estate that the father of her child is one of us Blackwoods. But I believe, the Duke's Mansion Michael probably already knows."

Hearing this, Ethan frowned.

He searched for the Duke's Mansion's estate on the map and gathered information. Dive into stories on ,mpyr.

The Duke's Mansion's estate, also the guardian of the southern barbarian lands. When it was called Cloudview County, the Duke's Mansion's estate was already there, different from those controlled by sects like county and town chiefs. Most of Cloudview County's taxes go to the Duke's Mansion's estate and are protected by the dynasty.

They are very special, having ignored the affairs of Cloudview County for tens of thousands of years, living off the land without contributing...

The only time they took action was tens of thousands of years ago when a Competent family foolishly challenged the Duke's Mansion's estate, and in one night, the Grim Reaper wrote their family history.

Regardless of the strength of the Duke's Mansion's estate, at 13, getting a 15-year-old girl pregnant, the Blackwoods are definitely at fault here.

Ethan relayed the situation to Nathan.

After a moment.

Nathan was so angry he practically jumped out of his coffin.
