In short, the family became a mafia because they did gray-area business, but they still retained their bottom line and didn't touch those disgusting businesses.
"We do sell cold and hot weapons plus various drugs, though, and that business is technically illegal in our country."
The team members never got into touch with the mafia circle, but some students among the Eltonians were from the mafia circle and the majority came from Godlif Country.
To be honest, they couldn't say that their business didn't violate the moral bottom line or something, but most of them usually only got involved in less morally questionable businesses.
However, many people already had a bad impression of the mafia circle, so these outstanding students were often cast aside due to their family backgrounds.
This academy had people from various forces and the mafia family was often looked down upon due to their notorious reputation.
Even if the elite forces in this world might not be less sinful than the mafia families, others only felt that the mafia must be the worst force ever and they were all rebels.
After Ainsley shared a little bit of inside news about the mafia circle and because of her good image to the public, many instructors and Eltonians who were watching the scene slowly changed their perception of the mafia family.
Although they still could not be completely free from prejudice, at least, the name 'mafia' was not as scary and bad as what others thought.

Ainsley stated some ugly truth without trying to beautify the mafia circle.
It didn't mean that the government was too weak to stop the mafia, but the national soldiers were all concentrated on dealing with occasional beasts and monster riots at the capital.
The Godlif Country was not a big country and it was also listed as one of the most dangerous countries in the human continent, but this country was famous even to non-human races.
After all, many world-level historical figures came from this chaotic country and the percentage of ability users in this country was higher than other countries.
The Godlif Country was a nightmare for ordinary people but a hidden paradise for Ability users.
"Maybe because we always have to be careful about territorial disputes and other matters, many people in the mafia family or who worked for the mafia have been trained throughout their entire life."
Ainsley told her teammates about how small to mid-sized mafia families had always been careful every single day if they didn't want to be wiped out within a few days to a week.
Every single day, there could be chaos and friction with other mafia families.
Only the high-level mafia families and the two huge camps in the mafia circle could relax a little longer than the small shrimps.
"Back when my family fell to a mid-level mafia family and was on the brink of falling to a low-level circle, not to mention territory despite, there were even a lot of internal struggles."
One could imagine how children who lived in such an environment would grow up to.
Ainsley might have matured early because of all these experiences.
While other children were still pampered by their family, the children of the mafia family might lose their lives anytime.
The direct descendants of many elite families would also have their own dangers and risks, but it could not be compared to the ones from the mafia family.
"Your territory might suddenly be attacked when you are having breakfast and if you are a small mafia family with only one main territory, such a battle will be annoying, right?"
The bigger mafia families had larger territories so even if one of their territories were attacked, at least their main territory where the direct family lived would not be bothered every single day.
"The citizens who lived in those territories also suffered the most. If they found a good mafia family, their life will be better than when the government took care of that territory."
But if the mafia family that occupied the territory was not a good one...
"Small-scale battles will happen every day and a lot of ordinary people will become victims."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOf course, this only happened in other territories aside from the main province, the capital city and various other big cities that the government firmly held onto.
The Godlif country was not big, but there were too many wildernesses full of beasts and monsters, which was why the mafia could take up some territories from the government and the government could only slowly take over those territories.
To be honest, the mafia's development had been suppressed after the Godfather's death and now, the remaining mafia families were all those with hundreds of years of history.
The new emerging ones were slowly suppressed by the government and the established mafia family so as not to take more resources and business from the old mafia forces.
This was why the Sloan Family was severely attacked and suppressed when they became a rising star.
"I just feel that children who grow up in this kind of environment will naturally be more powerful than other geniuses because they have more real battle experience."
It was just that, their mental health would be poor and their character might also be extreme.
The teammates and the audience listened to Ainsley's story about the mafia circle and they all didn't know what to say.
The knowledge they knew about mafia came from media and gossips, so they didn't know the mafia could also be miserable, especially the children.
