Cindy Clarke couldn’t help but smile at Adrian Zhekova, “You’re so well-prepared.”

“Of course.” Adrian Zhekova nodded, “The few of us usually support each other.

We’re used to it.”

“The reason why the outside world respects the Big Eight families is not because of how powerful each family is individually. To be honest, even the most powerful family would struggle if they were surrounded.” Adrian Zhekova spoke slowly.

“Have you noticed? When people talk about the Big Eight families, they always mention them together, unless it involves a specific family, otherwise they rarely mention one family separately.” Adrian Zhekova said.

Cindy Clarke nodded, “That’s true. Before I met you, I didn’t know anything about this. I just heard other people say ‘the Big Eight families’ and called them that too. I think, apart from some people who really know you, most people just say it because they’ve heard it.”

Adrian Zhekova laughed and nodded, “That’s right. Most people just get used to saying it along with the first few who called it that, they never really thought about why they say it.”

“Is there a reason for it?” Cindy Clarke was surprised, “I never thought about it.”

“It’s because our eight families are close, so close it’s not exaggerated to say we’re like one family. We are involved in different fields and have no competitive relationship. On the contrary, we can help each other.”

“Plus, the relationship between each generation, especially the Family Heads, is particularly good. Take the Old Master’s generation, for example, their buddies are good friends, including the Old Madams.”

“Ah, that’s right. Last time I went to the family mansion, I saw a lot of Old Madams of similar age. They are all from the Big Eight families?” Cindy Clarke remembered.

“Yes. Including our parents’ generation, and our generation. You’ve seen the situation in the group, we are all good friends. Whenever one of us encounters a problem, the others will help without hesitation. If someone dares to harm any one of us, all eight families will unite to deal with that person.”

“That’s why nobody dares to offend us.” Adrian Zhekova said, “It’s possible to deal with just one of our families. It only requires the cooperation of several forces. But dealing with all eight together, no matter how many forces they unite with, it’s useless. Besides, not everyone is as united as our eight families.” Adrian Zhekova laughed, “So, when people mention our eight families, many of them are wary.”

“I’m telling you all this, not just to help you understand our situation, but also to tell you that you don’t need to be polite with them. We are all family.” Adrian Zhekova rubbed Cindy Clarke’s hair, “I know, for the first 19 years of your life, even though you had family, you were extremely lonely, without anyone to rely on or to help you.”

“For the past 5 years, things might have been a little easier mentally, but in the end, you still had to rely on yourself.” Adrian Zhekova said softly, “But now, you don’t have to face all this alone anymore. You have me and our family. My family is your family.”

“From now on, the Zhekova Family will stand behind you, protect you, give you support, and be your rock.”

In the not-so-large bedroom, sporadic lights from a few houses across the street could still be seen through the window.

The sound of occasional cars passing by on the street was not very noticeable..
