In years past, the Su Family had saved the life of the Huo Family's old master, and they leveraged this debt of gratitude to arrange a marriage between the younger members of the two families.
After the marriage alliance, the Su Family became increasingly restless.
As an aristocratic family, they absurdly aspired to surpass the four supreme families.
Such audacity had crossed the line and affected the interests of many different powers.
Among the top echelons of Capital City, the Huo Family led the four great families, followed by the Long, Gu, and Lu families.
The current President is a member of the Long Family.
Every eight years, there's an election, and the candidates are always from the four great families.
Beneath these four great families, there are six more aristocratic families: the Su Family, Gongsun Family, Xiao Family, Ling Family, Nangong Family, and Rong Family.
