âIs our in-law⦠Claire Assex?â
William took a good while to even remember that name.
Before leaving America, William knew that George and Dorothy were getting married, despite not
attending the ceremony. That was when he and Brittany got into a car accident, after all. They were still
on their way to the venue.
George
Alex
Since then, some enormous changes had occurred, which led him to fake his death and live as a
completely different person. He didnât even get to see his son getting married.
Brittany nodded. âItâs not just her, by the way.â
William responded. âMhm, the Assexâs is quite a powerful family after all. I bet they became greater
while I was away. With the money and status within Rockefeller Group, George mustâve helped them
whenever they needed it.â
George
Alex
This made Brittany reminisce about the past. She couldnât help but scoff herself. However, now was not
the time to go into detail, so she said, âWeâll talk about this later when we get the chance. We should
meet the others now⦠Oh wait, your clothes are a little shabby. Let me get you some fresh new ones.â
She then brought out a spatial ring right in front of William, rummaging through it.
âThatâs weird. It should be here.â
âCould I have placed it in another ring? Hold on, give me some more time.â
Brittany brought out another ten spatial rings and rummaged through them for quite some time. Only
then did she find something that suited her tastes.
âWhen we last moved, I packed all your clothes and put them in a spatial ring. Then the number of
things just kept increasing, leading to more rings. I forgot which is which at this point.â
William stared at his wife, wide-eyed as if this was the first time he got to know her.
âHow⦠How many spatial rings do you have..?â
William had been a cultivator for some while, but he only owned two spatial rings, one of them was
merely a few square cubes. Yet his wife, who he thought knew nothing about cultivation, was able to
use spatial rings, bringing out tens of them.
âIs this my wife?â
âOr have I been away for so long that I canât catch up with this new era?â
Brittany pondered for a while. âSpatial rings? I never really counted them. I probably have thousands by
now.â
âWhat..! That many?â
William was even more shocked now.
âCould our family have started selling spatial rings?â
âWhy else would she have this many? The entire Rockefeller family would at most have tens of them!â
Brittany replied. âYouâll have to ask your son. He was the one who gave all these to me. He would give
me any resource that he didnât need just yet, and Iâd tidy it up.â
âHandling these rings is a pain. You know how big these rings are, right? Sometimes itâd be the size of
a football field. How could I possibly handle all of that on my own? Fortunately, our family is big. Else Iâd
die from exhaustion.â
âThe size of a football field?â Williamâs mouth was left agape.
It was natural for him to feel such sheer shock, as he had no idea what the world had become after the
past few years, nor the drastic changes within his family.
After helping him change into his clothes, Brittany said, âAlright, alright, hold with the questions. You
should dress up nicely and meet everyone first. The little ones would love to see their grandfather⦠Oh
yeah, since this is your first time meeting them, you should give them a gift. Money is practically
useless right now, but this is an old tradition, so just take it as a little blessing.â
She then handed him six large red envelopes. Each of them had eight thousand eight hundred eighty-
eight dollars in them.
âWhy are there six of them?â
âWe have⦠Well we have six kids in our family, thatâs why⦠You know, weâd even end up with more of
them by new yearâs?â
âSix? George and Dorothy have six children now?!â
George
Alex
âNope, Dorothy gave birth to quadruplets. The other two children were birthed by his other wives. â
William froze. âOther daughter-in-laws?! George⦠That brat divorced Dorothy and married other
women?!â
