Chapter 205 You've made up your mind about Qi Yuan, and you really don't regret it?
“Even the most loyal hounds of the Davis family have betrayed me. Shouldn’t I investigate and settle accounts with those who have no loyalty?” Noah retorted.
Daphne blinked and nodded slightly. "So, you found out that your second uncle is helping your second brother?"
"Didn't you understand what he just said?" Noah asked.
Daphne lowered her head and pondered for a while, recalling what Turner had said, but she still couldn't understand half of it.
"He felt that the Davis family line couldn't be inherited by a woman. I prefer men, so I couldn't leave any descendants for the Davis family. In his eyes, the only family that could ensure the Davis family's continuation was my uncle's. The old folks in the family have always been like this. Even if the heir is utterly incompetent, if there's only one heir, they'll still choose the other one. So, is it strange that he would secretly help my uncle?"
Noah's preference for men was not well-received in the Davis family. Besides the disapproval of elders like Turner, some of his subordinates were also unhappy about it.
Before Nick revealed the truth about the Gangdia Hounds' betrayal, the answers given by the hounds he caught himself were that they believed the Davis family would be ruined by Noah.
They were loyal to the Davis family, but Noah, who could not leave any descendants for the Davis family, and considering the current state of the Davis family, they felt that the future head of the Davis family was most likely to be Patty.
As mentioned earlier, most men in the North Continent believe that women can only be decorations for men and cannot do anything significant. Therefore, most of the betraying hounds are unwilling to serve a woman as the head of the household in the future, and for this reason, they turn to support Ryan.
After all, Ryan already has two grandsons, and when Ryan is gone, the people they will serve will also be men. In their eyes, men are better than women.
This is the kind of thinking that is common among betraying hounds. It's not hard to guess that, in addition to their original mindset, they must also be influenced by external forces.
Noah now understood why, even though he was the head of the family, some people still thought Ryan could become the head of the Davis family, simply because his lover was a man.
"So, you really believe Qi Yuan is your wife?" Daphne asked.
Noah turned to look at Qi Yuan, his eyes filled with a smile, "I brought him to the family gathering, Auntie, you still don't believe me?"
"I just asked one more question, Noah. We believe in God, and there is a saying in the Bible that God gave us: We need to give our whole heart and soul to only one person, to be loyal to them forever, to be sincere forever, and to never abandon them. This saying establishes that marriage among us Northern Continent people is monogamous, and only after the death of a husband or wife can one remarry. Are you sure you have no regrets about Qi Yuan?"
Daphne, who had been laughing and joking before, became serious.
She suddenly asked this question, which might have puzzled others, but Noah knew what she meant.
“Aunt, what you really want to ask is whether I will like women in the future, right?” Noah said. “There is indeed a saying in the Bible that during marriage, there can only be one husband and one wife. However, you can only have one wife, but you can have many lovers. Are you afraid that one day I will be unfaithful to A Yuan, find a bunch of lovers, and give birth to the Davis family’s heir? That’s why you are asking me if I will regret it.”
That's exactly what Daphne wanted to ask, but she couldn't find a better reason to ask directly, so she could only ask indirectly.
After Ryan left Juecheng, Noah's current aura is unstoppable.
The fact that Juecheng is still so quiet after Ryan caused trouble tells you what's going on.
Noah exposed her thoughts, so she stopped hiding them and asked, "You just said that as long as the heir can inherit the spirit and character of the Davis family, even a child from another family will be taken in to inherit the Davis family. Is that true?"
“Hmm.” Noah responded calmly. “I’m not as old-fashioned as my second great-uncle. If Petty isn’t capable of taking over the Davis family when he grows up, I will naturally choose someone else to do so. That includes Lydia, the child you gave birth to.”
Lydia smiled upon hearing this. "Noah, I admit that the Davis family is indeed very wealthy, but when I think about my child having to kill his own brothers and sisters for the Davis family, I suddenly feel that this position isn't so worthwhile."
“That depends on how you raise your children,” Noah said. “While we did indeed seize this position by killing our own family, this is Davis. To support such a large family, you can’t do without a bit of bloodshed and ruthlessness. But if we teach our descendants well, perhaps we can teach them to be ruthless to outsiders but loving to their family. To be honest, I really want to change the situation of the Davis family headship struggle, but killing those who deserve to be killed and rewarding those who deserve to be rewarded are the basics of being the head of the family.”
Lydia did not respond.
She knew what Noah meant by those words; simply put, it was like Noah's current attitude towards them and towards Ryan.
If Ryan and his restless family try to kill Noah, then Noah will not hesitate to kill them regardless of family ties.
Meanwhile, she and Daphne lived their quiet lives without any hostility towards Noah, so Noah treated them like family and gave them the same treatment.
This seems like a good thing, but who can guarantee that their child won't be tempted by interests and power, and when they have the ability to compete for the big cake of the Davis family in the future, won't have the idea of killing their own brothers?
The Davis family was such a large family, but by their generation, the number of people was pitifully small, because too many people died in the power struggle.
"We'll talk about the future later. Right now, my second brother is still alive, and you're still alive. The position of head of the family will never be ours. It's too early to talk about these things. Let's just focus on living our own lives for now." Daphne had come to terms with it.
Suddenly, she remembered something else and asked, "Speaking of which, I recently heard that you're going to run for the Federal President next year. Is that true?"
"real."
The rumors were confirmed on Noah's side, and Daphne was shocked. "Why? You know, even a dog wouldn't sit in the position of Federal President. You're already too busy with the Davis family's affairs. If you become Federal President, are you going to retire early?"
Noah raised an eyebrow at Daphne and smiled. "Aunt, people often say that the Davis family is the king of the North Continent, but in reality, the Davis family is just a business. Businessmen only control the interests of one continent, but the Federation wins the hearts and minds of the people and governs all the people of the North Continent. So, if I become the president of the Federation, wouldn't I become the true king of the North Continent?"
“Noah, I didn’t realize before that your ambitions were so great. You can’t even manage the Davis family, how can you have the time and energy to manage the entire North Continent?” Daphne shook her head repeatedly. “I advise you not to do this. If you separate your time and energy, I’m really afraid that if you become the president of the Federation, you will lose the Davis family.”
