The Exalted Warrior novel Chapter 893

Joan could not be bothered with her. She took Selena and Fane to the center of the garden of their villa.

Fane began the conversation before his mother could, “Mom, did that old man and that woman come looking for you? Did they tell you to say something to me?”

She smiled. “You’re right. You guessed it before I even said anything.”

“What old man? What woman?”

Selena was perplexed, clueless as to what they were talking about.

Joan turned toward Selena and said, “Selena, there’s something that we’ve never told you before. Fane’s father isn’t dead yet… He’s still alive. His name is Nash Woods.”

“What?!”

Selena inhaled sharply, utterly shocked to the core, and it took her a long while to recover. “So now he’s back looking for Fane?” blurted Selena. “Both of you knew long ago that he was still alive?”

Joan nodded her head. “How do we put this...? There are plenty of powerful associations in this world, like the Ten Noble Families of Gin City. They’re considered plenty strong, right?”

Joan paused a good while to let that sink before she continued, “Yet there are even more terrifying forces in this world—far stronger than the Ten Noble Families of Gin City. They’re the underground family clans. They usually don’t bother with us, since they live so far removed from us. Not many even know about their existence.”

“No way... The Ten Noble Families of Gin City are already so strong, and you’re telling me that there are families even stronger than them?”
