Chapter 1003: "A Precious Kid"
These elders' eyes when they looked at Ainsley were like evil merchants' eyes when they were looking at a treasure.
No wonder Ainsley got goosebumps.
These people did love her, but they loved her talent and abilities more than herself!
Ahhhh!
What Ainsley didn't know was that...they were very excited to see Ainsley because she's also cute...
The Billios Family had always been a family that cherished their children, which was why everyone was so excited to welcome this adopted daughter.
Heck. Even the Billios Family's children were also excited to welcome their new sibling because it meant these weirdos would finally focus on a new child!
Hurrah!
Afraid that this group of weirdos would frighten his daughter, Jake immediately introduced these people to Ainsley.
"Ain, they are all the Billios Family's higher-ups and branch families. There are a few uncles and aunties here, several elders and those not connected by blood."
The Billios Family wasn't like a mafia family where there would be a lot of non-blood related people occupying higher-up positions.
Most high positions in the Billios family belonged to those with the Billios Family's bloodline, such as Jake and his mother.
Jake's father wasn't from the Billios Family, and thus, he wasn't given a high position in the family.
This means the people in front of Ainsley right now were mostly Jake's relatives in a way, and only one or two people weren't his relatives.
When Ainsley knew about this, she was even more nervous.
"H-hello uncles and aunties..."
Ainsley manipulated her voice to sound cute and obedient, afraid that Jake's relatives wouldn't like arrogant children.
But to Ainsley's surprise, the Billios Family didn't dislike strong children and women, unlike other families with a strong patriarchal tradition.
In this family, whoever was competent would have more power than those who weren't competent.
Age and gender didn't matter. Even bloodline didn't matter.
That's why although the Billios Family's higher-ups were basically Jake's relatives, there were still a lot of non-relatives occupying these positions.
It was this kind of flexibility that allowed the Billios Family to remain strong for hundreds of years.
Unlike the Sloan Family, who emphasized strongly on bloodline succession regardless of the successor's capability to lead their people.
Ainsley was impressed by the people from the Billios Family.
Instead of treating her like a cute kid who knew nothing but to be an accessory, the people here treated Ainsley like their peers.
"Awww, our little baby is so cute. Of course, you will be even cuter when you slash monsters and beasts."
"What about her other abilities? Her money-making skills are also strong! Worthy of being our family's kid."
"Yes, yes. She must have been taught well by this stinky brat Jake."
The elders, uncles and aunties directly regarded Ainsley as their family member even when Ainsley was just an adopted child.
As long as the adopted child was capable, they could even throw away those with the Billios Family's bloodline but weren't capable.
Because of the family's law of the jungle tradition, many Billios Family's members had strived to be useful from an early age.
The Billios Family accepted any kind of abilities and usefulness and didn't discriminate against any type of talent.
There were some people in the Billios Family who became superstars, and the family supported them.
Some also became a researcher or did things not related to business, but the family also supported them wholeheartedly.
Because of this, the Billios Family had people around all sorts of fields, and most of them were at the top of the specific field.
No wonder the Billios Family's connection was vast enough, like the tree roots occupying the whole underground area.
Ainsley greeted Jake's relatives one by one and got to know them well.
After the brief exchange, these people finally shifted their attention to the news they got this afternoon.
"Speaking of the beast and monster tide...Ain, are you really okay? Did you hurt your energy core or something?"
Jake's eldest uncle asked Ainsley with eyes full of concern.
The Billios Family was thriving, but they also had a drawback, which was their low birth rate.
Because of this, every adult in the Billios Family had to be married and have children or use surrogate mothers.
They could also adopt children somewhere and include them in the Billios Family's tree.
The adults all cherished the children, whether they were adopted or not.
Jake's uncle was naturally one of these adults who cared a lot about children.
When he first knew that Ainsley was besieged in the middle of the beast and monster tide, he almost punched Jake out of anger.
How could Jake let his daughter go to such a dangerous place alone and not even save her when she's in trouble?!
The Billios Family cherished their children, but they also disciplined the children to be useful adults when they grew up.
Thus, no one protested when they heard Ainsley leading her guild members to join the beast and monster tide's cleaning-up event.
But it didn't mean they could stay still when they heard about Ainsley's dangerous situation back then. Plus, Jake wasn't there when Ainsley was in danger!
The Billios Family's adults were supposed to be there to supervise the children whenever they went out to gain experience.
Their roles would be to guard the children silently and protect them when the children couldn't hold back anymore.
But Jake wasn't there with Ainsley when Ainsley's life was in danger. In the end, the baby returned alive with her own power!
On the bright side, these people were proud of Ainsley's ability, but on the dark side, they were all distressed for the baby.
This is a precious kid, ah!
