From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 695 Family Mission
Viscount Jindoshi's words completely confused Amber.

Amber really wanted to ask the old nobleman if he had mistaken someone, but the string of numbers he told Isabel was indeed his ID number in his previous life, which he believed no one else in the world should know.

"You said your family has been waiting for hundreds of years? Just to see me?"

"Yes, Mr. Amber!" Viscount Jindoshi nodded excitedly. "This is a secret mission passed down by the first head of our Jindoshi family, Viscount Qilin Jindoshi. Only when each head takes over will he learn about this mission from the previous head."

Amber: "That is to say, your first patriarch knew hundreds of years ago that I would visit the imperial capital one day in the future? Could it be that Viscount Qilin Jindoshi has the ability to predict the future?"

"No, our ancestor was just an ordinary person. He was not a psychic and did not have any special abilities," Viscount Jindoshi replied.

"Then why did he leave this secret mission? Also, where did you get the number you told Isabel?"

Viscount Jindoshi frowned, as if he was collecting some memories in his aging brain. After a moment, he continued:

"In fact, none of our family heads know the reason. We only know that he left this mission and this string of numbers. He said that as long as he sees you, Mr. Amber, and says this string of numbers, he will be able to connect with you, and you will understand everything."

"Ah? But now that I've heard it, I'm even more confused."

Amber didn't know whether to laugh or cry, while Viscount Jindoshi sitting opposite him had a relaxed expression as if he had "finished his job". It was obvious that he felt very satisfied after successfully completing the mission left by his ancestors.

After seeing that Amber was still a little confused, the old man continued:

"By the way, Mr. Amber, you can stay here tonight. Our Jindoshi family will do our best to protect you tonight. No matter what happens tonight, we will keep it a secret. This is what our ancestors left for us to tell you, and each of our family heads has also sworn a 'blood oath' when they succeeded."

Some careless words solved my doubts~
Just as if this BGM suddenly floated through his mind, Amber suddenly realized that he seemed to have guessed something, but he was still a little unsure because the answer in his mind was too crazy.

"Mr. Viscount, could you please tell me everything that our ancestors have passed down?"

"Of course, Mr. Amber, of course."

Amber helped the current Viscount Jindoshi to sit on the chair in this compartment, and then listened carefully to the old man's story.
-
This family secret story that spanned hundreds of years actually didn't take too long to tell. Viscount Jindoshi finished telling it in just over ten minutes, and that was when the other party was a man in his nineties.

But the amount of information in this story really gave Amber a brainstorm.

Simply put, Qilin Jindoshi, the first head of the Jindoshi family, summoned his heir alone before his death and told him that one day in the next few hundred years, if a global giant company, the Atlas Group, appeared and its actual controller Amber came to the imperial capital, he must contact Mr. Amber at the appropriate time.

As long as you tell the other party the string of numbers '430XXXXXXXXXXX0510', Mr. Amber will understand everything. At the same time, you should invite Mr. Amber to stay at your home for one night in the name of hosting a dinner or cocktail party.

Finally, and most importantly, as long as the Jin Duoxi family still has the ability, they must preserve this ancestral home in the imperial capital and repair it in a timely manner, but they must not change any of the structure and must make sure it is exactly the same.

Every head of the Jindoxi family who inherits the title will be told this by the previous head of the family, and will swear a blood oath on the spot, using his own life to ensure that this secret mission will be passed down.

The blood oath was the highest level of oath among the nobility of the empire. Isabel had previously told Amber that the biggest difference between this "blood oath" and other oaths was that it was truly "monitored" by some mysterious force.

In the history of the empire, all the nobles who did not abide by the blood oath paid the price with their own lives and the destruction of their entire families, without exception.

Therefore, the nobles of the Star Dragon Empire take the "blood oath" very seriously. Once the oath is made, it means that the noble will risk his life to abide by his oath.
"Mr. Amber, actually when I first took over the position of the head of the family and the title and swore a blood oath, I actually didn't respect this oath very much."

Viscount Jindoshi suddenly spoke, and Amber looked up at the old man.

"Because in my opinion, this oath is actually a bit far-fetched, just like the nonsense that our ancestors said when they were old and confused. However, this oath is not difficult to keep. For the successive heads of the family, it is nothing more than protecting the family business and repairing the ancestral house according to the rules~"

Viscount Jindoshi paused again, and then a look appeared in his eyes that was rarely seen in an old man of his age.

"It was not until I first heard about the Atlas Group and your rumors that I suddenly realized that the secret mission left by our ancestors was not in vain. It was also the first time that I truly felt the weight of this mission that had been passed down for hundreds of years."

"mission."

Amber muttered the word in a low voice, and suddenly realized that the absurd development of the Jindoshi family in front of him might have only one answer - that is, the preparations for his sneaking into the Grand Palace tonight.
He looked back at the 'radiant' old man in front of him, smiled and said, "I understand. Your Excellency, I will not disturb you tonight."

"You are too polite. Our family has been waiting for this night for hundreds of years. Now we are finally able to realize our ancestors' long-cherished wish. As the current head of the family, I feel honored."

Viscount Jindoshi gestured for invitation, then released the 'black box mode' of the compartment and walked outside with Amber.

"I will organize another cocktail party for Mr. Amber and let everyone know that you are staying at our Jindoshi family tonight and indulge in pleasure."

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Excellency."

Amber nodded and followed Viscount Jindoshi back to the bustling banquet hall, letting the noise of the banquet fill her eardrums again. Amber looked normal, and Viscount Jindoshi had also lost his excitement, as if nothing had just happened.
