Chapter 1472 The Lyttelton Family

"I would like to see this child." Martha's father requested.

"Impossible." Martha showed her stance to the request.

There was no way she was going to let Cori come here. Her father is someone who liked dictating how the lives of those around him goes. This was the main reason she left and didn't come back, not even once during the past thirty years she has been away. If her father thought she would bring Cori here, then he was joking.

"Don't speak to your father in that manner." Martha's mother scolded harshly.

Martha grunted and didn't say anything else.

Lucas saw the tension between them and said, "Sir, we have no issues with bringing Cori here, but she will leave with us as well."

Martha wanted to speak but Lucas grabbed her hand tightly, making her stay quiet.

She needed this for Cori as this was the only way she knew they could help her, but she didn't want her father to forcibly take Cori away from her.

"Do you still have so much hatred for your father?" Martha's father asked, he looked at her expression and added, "Given the fact that you relinquished the Lyttelton name, I shouldn't have given you an audience. But you're my daughter and I want the best for you."

"You put me through h.e.l.l."

"I shaped you into the woman you are today. You're known as a groundbreaking genius after you left, second only to Lucas Dawson. That's all thanks to me."

"You made my life miserable."

"Hard decisions make your life easier. The decisions I took for you made you who you are today. Don't discredit my impact in your life."

"You don't care about what I feel about your decisions."

Lucas watched as the father and daughter went back and forth, and to be honest, this was the first time he was seeing such an emotion from Martha.

When he first met her, she refused to tell him her last name and only went with her first name, Martha. She became famous across the Western Continent at the same time as he did, but she was only known by her first name.

After they spent a long time together, and had fallen in love, she told him her full name, Martha Lyttelton.

There was only one Lyttelton Family in the entire Continent. This shows just how powerful their last name was.

This was a Family that was in power even during the times of the G.o.ds. They had multiple G.o.d Plane powerhouses and the last name Lyttelton was never used by anyone again. The Dawson Family was a Family that rose to power, the Lyttelton Family on the other hand has always been in power. The difference between the two was ma.s.sive.

No one dares to go against the Lyttelton Family, well, except for Martha who is from the Family. She had such contempt towards them that she warned Lucas that if he dared to visit them, she would break all ties with him, even during the time she was pregnant.

Martha and her father continued discussing while Lucas watched them without interfering. In the end, even though Martha didn't agree to her father's statement, she agreed to bring Cori over since this was the only way to save her.

"You're too stubborn." Martha's mother commented.

Martha looked at her mother but didn't say anything. Her mother had a fiesty temper just like her. Her father was authoritative, but very calm when handling things. Her mother on the other hand, she doesn't like p.i.s.sing her off, even till this day.

Martha gave her husband the go-ahead to bring Cori over, and Lucas left the hall. It was disrespectful to use his strength here when it's not an emergency, so he could only walk out of the large hall.

It took only a few minutes before he returned with the little Cori in tow.

"Fascinating." Martha's father said the second he saw Cori. Such a child was not something he thought he would see. But to his surprise, here Cori stood, at the Peak of the Sage Plane, on the verge of breaking through to the Elemental Venerable Plane before the age of twelve.

This was something that could be said to be out of this world. If he had known there was a child like this in the Chaos Battlefield, he would've sent people there to bring her over.

"Ma…"

"No."

It was as if matter already knew what he wanted to ask and declined instantly. She had already told him from the start that she was not going to let him have Cori.

Martha spent her youth days with her father and knew him well enough, he was addicted to training talents. Amongst all his children, Martha showed the greatest talent as a child, and her potential was limitless, so he spared no effort in her training.

Martha started her training from the day of her test. Unlike Grey who had to wait for a test to be conducted in Red City, a prestigious Family like the Lyttelton Family had their testing stones in their manor. The second Martha became twelve, her entire life changed before her eyes.

There was nothing she could do about her. At the start, her mother tried to plead with her father, but after realizing that it was impossible, she could only give in.

Martha was trained by her father personally, and he was a perfectionist. This made Martha's life h.e.l.l. She couldn't make any friends and all her time was focused on training.

In the end, Martha's father betrothed her to his best friend's son who was also a top talent. When Martha found out during her early twenties, she ran away from the Lyttelton Family while telling them she was no longer part of the Family.

They tried to get her back, but after being trained by an expert such as her father who was the head of the Lyttelton Family, she knew how to evade her pursuers. But of course, given the resources the Lyttelton Family has, her father found her himself, and she threatened to not only kill herself, but to disgrace the Lyttelton Family as well. In his anger, he let her leave.
