"Miss, I’m not saying this because I’m nostalgic for the old days, but to say that back then we were also very powerful. But later... they poisoned grandmother, grandfather openly favored those people over father, and then they set up the ’Immortal’s Leap’ to frame father and brother, taking away all the Du Family’s assets...
