Chapter 354
“General North will be attending your ancestor’s death anniversary. Is that not an occasion to be happy about?”
asked Hades.
Ah!
Aaron Hinton subconsciously exclaimed.
General North... One of the legendary generals in Eurasia.
Rumor has it that he was the disciple of the Great Marshal.
Why was someone like him attending the death anniversary of the Hinton family’s ancestors?
It was unsurprising that his first reaction was to think that Hades was making fun of him.
“Mr. Yate, you must have been mistaken,” refuted Aaron Hinton in a panic.
“Why would General North visit a no-name family like us? We are not worthy of him participating in our family
event.”
“It isn’t in my nature to joke around,” professed Hades solemnly.

family deserves every bit of it.”
“As far as I know, one of your ancestors’ had saved the general in the past. General North is a man of virtue and he
intends to pay his respect and gratitude to his savior.”
Knowing that General North would be attending his family event, Aaron Hilton was so excited that tears had formed
at the rim of his eyes.
It was none other than General North paying respect to his ancestors. Such an honor would undoubtedly add glory
to his family.
Simply based on that, the Hinton family would be able to reach a higher status in society.
“Mr. Yate, do you perhaps know which of my ancestors was the one who’d saved General North?” asked Aaron
excitedly.
“I’m not too sure about that,” answered Hades as he shook his head.
“Tell me the truth. Did you honestly think that just because General North attended your ancestor’s death
anniversary, your family would be able to climb up a few steps of the social ladder already?”
Aaron Hinton was in a calmer state after hearing Hades’ words. “Is that not how it works?” he asked.
“Just by riding on General North’s reputation, it shouldn’t be hard to raise our family’s status.”
“Now that’s where you are wrong. I wouldn’t blame you, after all, you were oblivious to the story behind it,” uttered
Hades as he let out a bitter laugh.
“According to my intel, the ancestor that had saved the general was receiving unfair treatment by the Hinton
Family. He did not die a good death.”
“Contrary to being grateful to the Hinton Family, the general might simply feel the opposite.”
Of course, that was a fabricated lie. It was made in order to smoothen the next step of Hades’ plan.
Aaron Hinton was devastated.
If the general really resented the Hinton Family, depending on the situation, there might be nothing left of the
family. The Hinton Family might have ceased to exist.
What should I do? What should I do? Aaron Hinton started to panic.
“But you don’t have to panic. I have a plan that will not only let bygones be bygones, rather, but he might also
develop an even closer relationship with the Hinton Family.”

“You might have heard that whoever conquers the Love in a Fallen City will have the privilege to act as a host and
dine in the same table with General North,” offered Hades.
“If you are able to conquer the Love in a Fallen City, and personally serve General North, do you think that he will
still hold a grudge towards you and your family?”
“He is after all, a man of virtue.”
“Mr. Yate, are you perhaps talking about Lacey Hinton’s project, the Love in a Fallen City?”
“That’s the mainstay of Lacey Hinton’s group. I’m afraid that she wouldn’t be too keen on handing it over to me.”
“What are you talking about? Don’t you already have a trump card in your hand?” asked Hades as he laughed.
Aaron was absolutely clueless. “T... Trump card?”
“I’m pretty sure that the grave of Daniel’s mother is in your family’s cemetery,” announced Hades.
“Do you think that Daniel would mind if we maybe... Move his mother’s grave out of the family cemetery?”
“Well, Daniel Hinton is known for his filial piety. I don’t think that he would be too happy about...”
Aaron’s eyes gleamed all of a sudden.
“I see... Thanks Mr. Yate, I know what to do now.”
