Mrs. Brown knew very well that in my life, everything was extraordinarily ordinary except for those five years, which were completely blank.
"Did you call me here just to say these things?" I said plainly. "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
Just as I was preparing to stand up, Mrs. Brown continued, "Do you know about Jess's engagement with The Williams Family?"
My body froze, and I sat back down again. "An engagement? Why hasn't Jess mentioned this to me?"
"This dates back quite a while ago. For a family to ensure lasting peace and existence, they must align with Martial Arts, which is where the Brown Family is weak.
The Brown Family certainly has a few powerful figures, but it's far from enough!
The Williams Family is the only way out for the Brown Family. For the past few years, Jessica's father has been seeking a marital alliance through Martial Arts, without results, until the appearance of The Williams Family."
