"The same principle applies now." Adrian Zhekova quickly turned his head and glanced at Cindy Clarke.
"But isn't it true that only those who have awakened the Family Head's ability can become the Family Head?" Cindy was a little puzzled, "And in each generation, only one person can awaken this ability."
Cindy said this and then suddenly stopped.
After a pause, she said, "Or are you saying that if …"
Cindy was frightened by her own speculation.
She took a deep breath before continuing, "If the person with the Family Head's ability... no... is no longer here."
Anyway, she couldn't bring herself to say the word "dead."
Because those who possessed the Family Head's ability - the Old Master, Maverick Zhekova, and Adrian Zhekova - were all dear to her.
Even if it was just an analysis, even if there was no specific reference, even if it was just a hypothetical, and even if it was about a non-existent person.
She didn't want to use that word on them.
