Yan City, Sun Family Estate.
Though it was called an estate, it was actually a private villa complex.
More than a dozen villas were arranged in a pleasing scattered layout throughout the garden-like neighborhood.
Originally located in the heart of the city, the complex was screened by rows of trees around its perimeter, turning it into a tranquil oasis amid Yan City's bustle.
The Sun Family, a prestigious clan with a lineage stretching back centuries, was the owner of this villa complex.
It was said that as early as some dynasty several hundred years ago, the Sun Family had already been powerful nobles at court.
Over the following centuries, the Sun Family branched out and flourished. Every generation produced several outstanding descendants, and during chaotic times, they divided their descendants into several groups and hedged their bets on multiple fronts.
For many great families, wars and shifting times often brought utter ruin. For the Sun Family, however, they became opportunities to use their influence to continue growing.
When the chaos ended, the strongest branch would become the main family and take the position of clan head.
It was precisely this tradition of great clans supporting and assisting one another that had allowed the Sun Family to remain standing all these years. Even now, with anomalies occurring so frequently, the Sun Family had only grown stronger.
Today was the ninetieth birthday of Sun Changhe, the current head of the Sun Family. The various branches of the family had all gathered at the Sun Family Estate to celebrate the clan head's birthday.
The entire villa complex was packed with all sorts of expensive luxury cars. Black-clad bodyguards stood everywhere, eyeing one another warily.
Meanwhile, the first-floor hall of the largest three-story villa at the center of the complex was bustling with voices.
