Upon hearing the name Dou Qu, An Yuan and the others turned completely pale. The previous head of the Dou family was named Dou Qu, but he had vanished many years ago, and the Dou family had never revealed his whereabouts.
As it turned out, Dou Qu had actually become an elder of the Festival Clan, a hidden race. It seemed that whatever one feared most was bound to happen. Ever since the ancestor of the Dou family had used his father as a deterrent, An Yuan had worried that this rumor might be true. That was why he had felt not a shred of joy when the An family moved to swallow up the Dou family's business.
Dou Qu’s expression was grim. He never expected that his own clan would be wiped out by someone. The Festival Clan had strict regulations in place stating that no one was permitted to meddle in mortal affairs. Because of this, after joining the Festival Clan all those years ago, he had completely severed ties with his family. Throughout the entire Dou family, only his son—the head of the Dou family—knew the truth.
