51 Side story: A Day In The Life Of Ma Tu I (1/2)

The Sky Lion Kingdom, Iron Cloud City.

The Iron Cloud city was one of the many small cities within the Sky Lion Kingdom. Unlike many of the small cities in the kingdom, the Iron Cloud City was very special because it was co-governed by four big families.

There was still a formal army, officers and a real governmental stricture but their power was very weak compared to the four big families.

The city wasn't very rich and was located at the corner end of the kingdom, as such the royal family didn't pay much attention to it.

Still, the four big families were in control of the economy of the entire city. They owned all the shops, Inns, and restaurants in the city.

These four big families were the Su family, the Zong Family, the Meng Family and the Ma family. Among the four families, the Su family was the strongest while the Ma Family was the weakest.

Not only the Su Family was the Strongest, they were the richest as well. They owned all the casinos and Inns within the city. They were the top dog in the city.

They were so strong that they could even fend off against the combined power of the other three families. They had many strong warriors and many talented children.

As for the Ma family, they used to be strong but they have deteriorated over the years due to lack of outstanding younger generations to continue their legacy.

The Ma family was located in the southern part of the city. Their property covered a few dozens of miles and had few buildings in it.

Unlike the other four big families, they didn't have many descendants. Though they were considered as one of the four great families, the Ma family was kind of poor compared to the other three families. As such, not many people wanted to marry into their families.

At this moment, In the main hall of the Ma family's mansion, a middle-aged man sat on a big chair while facing a young man who seemed to be telling him something.

The young man looked like he was 17-18 years old, and at first glance, anyone would know he was no ordinary person due to his expensive clothes.

If Ling Chen was there at this moment, he would have recognized that young man with a single glance because he was none other than Ma Tu. As for the middle-aged man, he was the head of the Ma family, also Ma Tu's father, Ma Wen.

After he finished his story, Ma Tu kept his position and stared at his father who had a weird expression on his face as though he was holding a fart.

” Wow, I am so happy for you son,” Ma Wen said as he patted his son's head with a serious kook on his face while laughing inwardly. However, deep down he just wanted to smack the shit out his son after listening to his son ludicrous story.

People like them couldn't even meet a high rank noble within the royal capital, yet that bastard was boasting about how he met the legendary second prince of the Sky Lion Kingdom and even shared a ride with him.

As if that wasn't enough, that useless bastard even goes as far as to say that he had met the infamous little devil, the third son of the Heavenly Demon Venerable as well, the true ruler of the domain.

At this moment Ma Wen couldn't help but wonder just how high his son's boasting skill was as well his imaginative mind to be able to come up with such a ridiculous story.

This wasn't the first time he made up those cooked up stories, however, this time he took it to a whole different level.
