Chapter 1686 Depart For The White Family
“Look at me again! Just like you, I may have despised my family at the time, but didn’t I reconcile with my dad since then? Was it really his fault for what happened to me back then?”
“When a man is in a high position, he sometimes loses the ability to see things through the eyes of ordinary people. Many things that occur are beyond their control. Ultimately, the person in a high position is the one who suffers the most.”
Tyr went on and on for a while, unsure if Olympias was paying attention to his words.
“Go home! You have to face the music sometimes, and there are some things you must face eventually. You can let it go with the wind if you really don’t want to bring up the past. Your grandfather, on the other hand, is nearing the end of his life. It's only proper for you to visit him as a grandchild.”
Then, Jim approached them in a wheelchair, and he told Olympias the truest thoughts in his heart, “Oly, speaking of which, I should also go back with you to meet your grandpa.”
After a brief pause, Olympias stated, “At least not right now.”
In the end, Olympias was unable to let go of her resentment. As a result, she didn’t allow Jim to return with her. She wasn’t afraid of people criticizing her for marrying a cripple. Jim had become her most prized possession, after all. She would never let him take any chances with her until she had figured out her family.
“Oly, we are husband and wife. We have to face everything together.” Jim said.
“This thing is a different matter,” Olympias replied.
Jim wanted to argue with her about it, but Tyr stopped him. Tyr said, “Jim, I don't think it’s appropriate for you to go to the White family with Oly now. Let me go with her instead.”
Tyr remembered the token that Dillon had forced Silas to hand over to him previously. Back then, when Dillon sent the Sacred Association's heritage to Regal Palace, he specifically reminded Olympias to return home and see the old man.
Tyr already knew the answer after connecting the dots. Tyr’s personal visit to the White family was something Dillon hoped for. This trip was most likely not going to be that simple.
“Boss, are you really going to go to the White family with me?” Olympias looked at Tyr in surprise.
“Regal Palace is a Transcendent organization of the ancient martial arts world,” Tyr said with a nod.
“As the Regal Palace’s Palace Master, it is also appropriate for me to pay a visit to the patriarch of the White family. Also, by going there together, we’ll be able to solve any problems you might have there.”
“Sounds great!” Olympias made up her mind at this precise moment and decided to return to the White family.
Jules showed no surprise when he learned that Tyr was planning to visit the White family with Olympias. At the same time, he extended a warm welcome to Tyr.
Tyr and Olympias boarded the boat with Jules that afternoon and returned to Khanh City’s pier. They rushed back to the White family mansion with Ettore and the others.
After they met, Jules introduced Ettore to Tyr at the first opportunity.
Olympias, on the other hand, has known Ettore since she was a child. Ettore was not that old at the time, but he was equally cold and kept people at arm's length. Olympias had a bad impression of him since she was a child, and she always thought that he looked intimidating.
“Hello, my name is Tyr. I am the Palace Master of Regal Palace.” Tyr took the initiative and stretched out his hand to introduce himself to Ettore.
Ettore didn’t shake Tyr’s hand, but he did give him a faint nod. After that, he didn’t bother to look at Tyr again. This guy always had an aura around him that kept strangers at a safe distance. He only talked more when he was with Jules.
Tyr didn’t feel awkward at all. He had met a wide range of people throughout his life. He wasn’t offended because he had come across people like Ettore in the past, who preferred to stay away from people.
Olympias, on the other hand, snorted coldly and chastised, “He may be an adult, but he doesn’t have any manners at all! What is he being arrogant for?” Olympias was used to speaking her mind. She didn’t care if Ettore was her elder.
Jules played the role of a diplomat on the side. “All right, let’s calm down, everyone!” he said with a smile. “Let’s get in the car, shall we? Fortunately, Fern City is not far from Khanh City. We’ll try to reach home before the sun sets.”

Simultaneously, in Fern City’s White family.
In Ansel’s study, he sat in the room as before, reading a variety of books.
In fact, since he was a child, Ansel disliked reading a lot. He could even be described as a book hater. But these days, whenever he had free time, he read in his study. He didn’t do it not by his own will, but because Clovis told him too.
Clovis believed that reading books would help Ansel overcome his grumpy demeanor and allow him to truly relax. Despite his reluctance, Ansel was obligated to complete the task. Although he sat in the study, his mind was elsewhere for the majority of the time.
“Dad!”
At that time, the door of the study room was suddenly pushed open. Jehan hurriedly walked in from the outside.
“Dad, I heard that Jules had gone to find Olympias, and he had brought her home from Regal Palace. Are they on their way back now?”
Ansel frowned and looked at his son coldly before saying, “Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be grounded? Have you made a habit of ignoring my words at all times?”
Jehan hurriedly said, “Dad, isn’t the situation different now? You shouldn’t worry about such insignificant matters.”
“Dad, this is a critical situation. How could you still have the mind to sit here and read books? If Jules can take Olympias back, the patriarchal position may be passed down to him when Grandpa is content. Dad, you must act quickly and devise a plan.”
“You b*stard! Jules is your uncle. Is it appropriate for you to call out his name like this?” Ansel slammed his hand on the desk and glared at Jehan.
“When did you become so rude? Also, who gave you permission to discuss things like fighting over the patriarchal role every day?”
Seeing that his father was furious, Jehan's expression suddenly turned pale. He explained quickly, “Dad, I’m just looking at the big picture here. We can never let Jules… I mean, let Uncle Jules bring Olympias back.”
“What do you mean by that?” Ansel asked.
“Dad, since we haven’t been able to get Olympias back, why don’t we just make sure she can never come back?” Jehan proposed, a hideous expression flashing across his face.
“Dad, we can arrange some killers to intercept Olympias halfway,” Jehan said as he made a slashing motion near his neck with a wicked expression. “After she dies, Uncle Jules will not be able to please Grandpa, and he will be burdened with all sorts of infamy and trouble. He will never be able to turn the tide in that case.”
