Kairi’s words spoke to Wilfred’s pain.
He knew the virtue of his eldest son better than anyone else.
As early as twenty years ago, he discovered that his eldest son had lost his way in the ultimate pursuit of martial arts.
Not only that, he also became obsessed with material comforts.
After 20 or 30 years of training in the martial arts, his son decided it was time to enjoy life.
Just like those martial arts stars and action stars who also endured hardships when they were young, and began to move
towards the peak of life in their middle ages.
Many of those stars had become billionaires by the age of 30, but their physical state began to rapidly decline to the extent that it
was visible with the naked eye.
They began to train less and less and their personal lifestyles grew better and better.
At first, around the age of seventeen or eighteen, they worked hard to make a movie that may only earn a few hundred dollars in
salary, but by the age of 30, they could make tens of millions or more in salary just by casually showing their face and performing
a few tricks.
This whole concept deeply stimulated Mido.
He felt that since those martial arts stars who only practiced some amateurish kung fu could become masters, then since he’d
been practicing martial arts for nearly 30 years, why couldn’t he be like them? Since then, Mido’s cultivation had almost
stagnated.
However, the way of martial arts is extremely hard, and is not comparable to those fake styles of boxing and fancy tricks.
Wilfred knew well that his eldest son’s cultivation level held a great advantage over ordinary people, but it wasn’t really a
meaningful way for his son to live a life of luxury through his martial arts.
Not to mention letting him lead the whole Elms family.
However, although Wilfred is very dissatisfied with Mido’s negativity, there were no other suitable candidates.
His younger brothers were relatively mediocre, even though they worked hard.
Their overall strength was nowhere as good as Mido, who slacked in his training.
Kairi just stated that the Elms family could be ranked among the four major martial arts families, but most of the reason is due to
Wilfred alone, and it was true.
If Wilfred died, then judging from the strength of the descendants of the Elms family, they would quickly fall out of the four major
families.
Even out of the top ten, just with his passing.
Kairi was indeed excellent when she was young, but unfortunately she was selected by the Banks Family when she became an
adult, and went to the Banks Family as personal protection for Zayne, which is why she went out early to make money.
At that time, the Elms family had to rely on the Banks Family to survive, and Wilfred could only push Kairi out to work as part of
their security forces.
Since then, Kairi spent most of the day protecting the safety of Zayne, so she rarely had the time to practice martial arts with all
her strength.
Therefore, her cultivation base grew very slowly.
Later, in order to protect Zayne, she lost her right arm, and her strength dropped sharply.
Although the cultivation base was higher than Mido, the loss of one arm put her below her brother in terms of real combat
effectiveness.
Wilfred was also very clear in his heart that even if he isn’t partial, nor maintain the patriarchal mindset, it’d still be difficult for the
whole Elms family to accept a woman as the head of the house, and even more difficult to accept a disabled woman.
So, in Wilfred’s mind, apart from Mido, there were no other suitable candidates to take over as head of the family in the future.
