Chapter 2 - Emma Ross

In the Profound Stillwater Continent, profound strength was most important. Although Danny Radd was born in the Radd Family, and was even the grandchild of the head of the Family John Radd, his profound strength was still at the first level of the Profound Ki Disciple Realm even though he was already sixteen. He started training when he was seven and half, entered the first level of the Profound Ki Disciple at the age of eight, and then didn't improve for an entire eight years. He was mocked by all of Radd Family. Afterwards, John Radd invited Floating Stone City's top class doctor Doctor Roy to examine his body, and shockingly found that Danny Radd was born with damaged profound veins. The damage was so severe that it was almost impossible to recover from. In this state, Danny Radd would stagnate at first level of the Profound Ki Disciple Realm, and could never improve further no matter how hard he worked.

Even if he trained with his life on the line, he would stay at first level of the Profound Ki Disciple Realm his entire life. This kind of person was unquestionably the lowest existence in the Profound Stillwater Continent, and was a total laughingstock within the Radd Family. If not for his grandfather John Radd being the strongest in Radd Family, who also could even be said to be the strongest in the Floating Stone City, no one would bat an eye against him.

Radd Family was one of the Four major families that trained in the ways of the profound in Floating Stone City and has limitless strong entities. In the large number of youths coming forth from the same generation, Danny Radd could be said to be an unnecessary existence. Even if he died some day, not many except a few would care. But there were some today that actually tried to murder him using the extremely hard to obtain and expensive Murdering Almond Powder. Danny Radd clearly knew the reason why now.

Because today was the wedding day between him and Emma Ross.

Emma Ross, being the same age as him, was also sixteen. However, at such a young age, her profound strength was stated to have reached the ninth level of the Profound Ki disciple Realm, almost breaking out of the Ki Disciple level and stepping into the Profound Ki Practitioner Realm. She was the only one in a hundred years that had reached this level of profound Ki strength at the age of sixteen in the Ross Family or Floating stone city. There were even rumors that if she continued to develop this way, she would be the first person in the history of the Ross Family to ever step into the Earth Profound Ki Realm a few decades later… or may even be able to reach the Sky Profound Ki Realm that no one in Floating Stone City had even thought of reaching in the past few centuries!

More importantly, she was not only shockingly astute, but also extremely beautiful, and was considered to be the most beautiful girl by all of Floating Stone City. All of Floating Stone City's youths with some level of competency drooled over her. If the Ross Family started looking for grooms, the line waiting would probably be long enough to stretch between the south and north gates of Floating Stone City.

This pinnacle of a girl with both intelligence and beauty in the Floating Stone City, was actually marrying the generation's most worthless youth with no future at all. Who knew how many people were stomping their feet in anger and jealousy… This was wholly a case of a dazzling Rose planted on a pile of Cow dunk that no one would even bother to look at.

The ones that had unrequited love for Emma Ross of course held both extreme jealousy and hatred towards Danny Radd. Even more were unwilling to give up… and would try to assassinate him by poison. As the current Danny Radd thought about it, this situation didn't seem to be bizarre at all.

"They say behind every successful men stands a woman I say behind every troubled men stands a woman or women." Danny Radd got off the bed, stood up, and soliloquized. But as he thought of the beauty and charm of Emma Ross that could tip over a whole city, he opened his mouth and laughed heartily, "Still, I get to marry such a bride, this really is a good beginning."

At this time, Danny was wearing a Black wedding Tux in a room plastered everywhere with flowers and origami's. Last night, his grandfather John Radd and his little cousin Morgan Radd personally arranged this handiwork. His bedroom had been transformed into a wedding room.

Suddenly, the door opened and an ethereal figure hastily came in. Danny immediately stood up and smiled, "Little Cousin, is grandfather back?"

Morgan Radd was John Radd's second sons daughter. Although she was Danny's little cousin, she had only turned fifteen this year and was one year younger than Danny Radd. She was still quite young but her beauty was already charmingly touching. Her profound strength was at the early sixth level of the Profound ki disciple Realm but even though she was not on par with Emma Ross if compared, it wasn't that bad since she was an important asset to the Radd Family and was held in high regard.

"Oh, Danny, you have finally feeling well."

A gentle voice spread across the room as John Radd entered. Seeing Danny already out of bed with a normal complexion, John Radd relaxed a bit. Behind him followed his housekeeper Henry Centworth and the number one doctor in Floating Stone City—Doctor Roy.

"It's good that you have woken up and you do not look ill anymore but let Doctor Roy examine you. Today is your wedding day and we cannot have the slightest error. Doctor Roy, please go ahead." John Radd stepped aside during his speech.

Doctor Roy put his medicine chest onto the table and sat in front of Danny, lifting his hands to finger the pulse on Danny's wrist. After a while, he took his hands off Danny.

"Doctor Roy, how is Danny's condition? Is it serious?" Morgan Radd asked worriedly, with fearful nervousness etched on her face.

Although he did not speak, John Radd appeared solemn and had a fierce look on his face…. How could he not be aware that Danny's sudden collapse was strange?

Doctor Roy's face slowly lit up and eased into a smile, "Head John you do not need to worry, your grandson's physical condition is excellent. He has no major ailments or even the slightest cold. Perhaps your grandson fainted because he was so nervous and excited that his blood rushed to his head. After all your grandson is marrying Ross family's daughter, the number one beauty in Floating Stone City. Hohoho."

Although Doctor Roy tried to conceal his contempt, his words revealed his regret. A talented woman marrying a useless good-for-nothing with no future was truly hard for someone to accept.

"That's great news." John Radd sighed in relief and nodded in thought, "It must be hard on Doctor Roy to be pulled over so early in the morning. Henry, escort Doctor Roy to the living room to rest."

"It's fine," Doctor Roy replied with a wave of his hand and lifted his medicine chest, "Since your grandson is alright, I will take my leave. Congratulations to Head John on meeting Floating Stone City's most outstanding grand daughter-in-law. I do not know how many people must envy you right now. Ha ha. Farewell."

"You must remember to come to the wedding for a drink. Henry, escort Doctor Roy out."

"Danny, are you really alright? Do you feel unwell anywhere?" John Radd was still not assured after Doctor Roy left and scowled in thought. When Danny Radd suddenly collapsed, his temperature dropped and his vitality faded away. This could not only be a result of being too excited, he thought. Looking at Danny's present healthy condition, he indeed looked fine right now but John still could not shake off that small doubt deep in his heart.

"I really am alright Grandfather, you can rest assured." Danny said with an easy expression. His nose couldn't help but suddenly sour as he looked at John Radd and he see a worried face with a head full of white hair.

Radd Family consisted of five brothers and although Xiao Lie was the Fifth brother, he was the strongest in the clan so, he deemed the family head position. Five years ago he entered the border of the Profound Ki Master Realm's ninth level. He was now at the peak of the Profound Ki Master Realm's ninth level and had an opportunity to break into the Profound ki Grand Master Realm, a level that countless people dreamt of.

John Radd was only fifty-five years old this year with the strength of the 9th level in Profound Ki Master Realm, but all his hair had already turned white. Every time Danny saw this head full of white hair, his heart became bitter at the sight.

The reason why John Radd had white hair since his middle-age years was known to all the people living in Floating Cloud City. His elder son, the father of Danny Radd, Yale Radd was called the number one genius of Floating Stone City. At the age of seventeen, he broke into the Profound Ki Practitioner Realm. At twenty, he reached the fifth level of the Profound Ki Practitioner Realm. At twenty-three he broke through the Profound Ki Practitioner Realm and entered the Profound Ki Grand Master Realm, shocking all people of Floating Stone City. He became the Radd Family's pride, as well as John Radd's pride and joy. Almost everybody believed that when Yale Radd became middle-aged, he would be the best candidate qualified to inherit the leadership of the Radd Family.
