King of Glory: Catch All the Female Heroes

Chapter 256 Matchmaking

Sister Zhen, Diao Chan, and Irene also received invitations from Miledy.

The three hesitated for a while, and finally followed Zhang Cheng and Charlotte to the governor's residence.

On the way to the Governor's Mansion, Charlotte couldn't help but ask Zhang Cheng out of curiosity, "Luna is very popular in the sea, and many men have expressed their admiration for her. Facing these men's advances, Luna rejected them all."

"I'm very curious, how did you impress Luna and capture her heart so quietly?"

Charlotte asked this question mainly for two reasons.

First, Charlotte was really curious and wanted to satisfy her gossipy nature.

Second, Charlotte wanted to know whether the Moon Family was secretly in contact with foreign forces.

Zhang Cheng naturally understood what Charlotte meant. After listening to Charlotte's words, Zhang Cheng just smiled and said, "Luna and I have an agreement that we cannot tell anyone about what happened between us."

"From what I know, you and Luna have a good relationship. If you are really curious about what's going on between me and Luna, you can go find Luna!"

Seeing that Zhang Cheng was not fooled, Charlotte pouted slightly and changed the subject.

"The Archon is hosting a banquet for everyone tonight. On the surface, it seems to be to welcome you, but I think the Archon has other intentions."

Seeing Charlotte talking about serious matters, Zhang Cheng also became excited.

"I think so too. After all, I came to Haidu as a private person. Under normal circumstances, there is no need for the governor to make such a big fuss."

"I'm curious about what the Archon's intention is. I hope Miss Charlotte can help me figure it out."

Charlotte nodded to Zhang Cheng and said, "You should know that Haidu is made up of many families. In the early days, these families jointly ruled Haidu."

"As time goes by, with the continuous development of Haidu, new families gradually emerge and old families gradually die out. Now, of the 22 Arcana families in Haidu, only six remain, namely the Tower Family, the Moon Family, the Destiny Family, the Rose Family, the World Family, and the Chariot Family."

"The Tower Family is now the City Builder Family. The City Builder Family is very powerful and has many geniuses. But unfortunately, the City Builder Family has always been threatened by a curse. No one in the family can live past the age of 40. This curse has made the current situation of the City Builder Family very difficult."

Hearing Charlotte's words, Zhen Ji couldn't help but whispered, "Milady of the City Builder Family is the Archon of Haidu. The City Builder Family has great power. Why do you say that the current situation of the City Builder Family has become very difficult?"

Charlotte sighed and said, "There are three geniuses in this generation of the City Builder Family. In addition to the Archon, the Archon also has a sister and brother. Their talents are not inferior to the Archon at all."

"In order to help the family break the curse, the Archon's sister and brother left Haidu one after another."

"What were their results? You should know."

Miledy's sister is Ji Xiaoman's mother, and she has passed away due to illness.

Miledy's brother was the oldest and was probably dead long ago.

Now, of the three geniuses of the City Builder Family, only Miledy is still struggling to hold on.

"The Archon is almost thirty years old. If we can't find a way to break the curse, he can only last another ten years at most."

"The most important thing is the City Builder family. There is no one among the younger generation who can take on the responsibility."

"Oh, except Ji Xiaoman. But Ji Xiaoman has Xuanyong bloodline, so it's impossible for her to take over the power of Haidu from the Archon."

"So, the City Builder Family is now almost at the critical point of life and death."

After Zhang Cheng and others nodded, Charlotte continued, "The situation of the Moon Family, Destiny Family, Rose Family, World Family, and Chariot Family is not optimistic either."

"Let's not talk about the Moon Family. Zhang Cheng should be very familiar with their situation. The Destiny Family was seriously injured many years ago. Although Hai Nuo took on the responsibility of the Destiny Family, the situation of the Destiny Family has not changed fundamentally."

"Although our Rose Family has accumulated a lot of wealth, our power has also become very scattered. If someone wants to deal with our Rose Family, they can easily defeat each of us."

The Rose family's main business is ocean shipping.

Every merchant ship needs a master from the Rose Family to be on board.

Thirty ships will require thirty experts and many hired sailors.

So the dilemma of the Rose family is indeed as Charlotte said, the power is dispersed.

And this situation is difficult to change.

Unless the Rose Family gives up their means of survival.

"The patriarch of the World Family has been missing while searching for the Dead Sea Scrolls. His son, Marco Polo, traveled to the East alone to find his father. It is said that Marco Polo has been killed by some villain."

"The disappearance of the patriarch of the World Family has already brought a huge blow to the World Family. Marco Polo is a genius in the World Family and the hope for the World Family to rise again."

"With Marco Polo being killed by villains, the hope of the world family's rise is almost zero."

"It is precisely because of this that many people have abandoned the World Family. The decline of the World Family is inevitable."

After hearing what Charlotte said, a black line flashed across Zhang Cheng's face.

Marco Polo was killed by Zhang Cheng.

At the beginning, Marco Polo mixed in with the demons outside Qianku City and tried to attack Zhang Cheng and others. Zhang Cheng did not know Marco Polo's identity and killed him in a few moves.

Zhang Cheng did not expect that his killing of Marco Polo would directly lead to the decline of the world family.

However, Zhang Cheng does not regret what he has done.

Under the circumstances at that time, even if Zhang Cheng didn't kill Marco Polo, Marco Polo would have killed Zhang Cheng.

Treating your enemies with kindness is treating yourself with cruelty.

"Let's not talk about the Chariot family. The Chariot family has been degenerating since the previous generation. They like to be idle and like to focus their energy on having affairs. Haidu doesn't even know how many people are illegitimate children of the Chariot family."

Zhang Cheng nodded. Zhang Cheng knew that Kuangtie was the illegitimate son of the Chariot family.

"The six major families have declined, and a new family, the Judge Family, has risen. The Judge Family wants to swallow up the entire Haidu in one gulp."

"Although the six major families are aware of the threat posed by the Judge Family, they have not been able to establish an offensive and defensive alliance."

"Zhang Cheng, you have friendly relations with several major families. The governor is holding a dinner party today. It is very likely that he wants to use you as a matchmaker."
