In Glory City, the saying goes that the architecture of a family's estate reveals much about their deepest values.

This was evident in the way the noble families chose to build and structure their homes.

Take, for example, the Heavenly Marks Family.

Their estate was a sprawling castle, grandiose in its design, featuring eight distinct gates.

Each gate led to a different road, which, in turn, connected the branch families directly to the heart of the main family's domain. This architectural choice was not just for show; it symbolized the core value of unity and interconnectedness that the Heavenly Marks Family purportedly upheld.

Even with the current corrupt state of the family, the physical structure of their estate told a clear story of a family that, at least on the surface, valued the strength and support system provided by its many branches coming together as one.

Contrastingly, the Sacred Family, a relative newcomer to the echelons of power within Glory City, had chosen a very different architectural path to symbolize their core values.

Rising to prominence as one of the top three noble families in just 200 years, the Sacred Family's estate was designed as concentric circles, each representing a distinct layer of the family's hierarchy.

At the outermost ring, the estate housed servants, vassals, and other affiliates who served the Sacred Family in various capacities.

This outer ring was a bustling area where the day-to-day operations supporting the family's needs and ambitions took place.

As one moved closer to the center, the rings grew increasingly exclusive, housing the members of the Sacred Family.

Unlike traditional noble houses, the Sacred Family eschewed the usual distinctions between branch and main family members. In this family, merit and contribution to the family's success were the only criteria that mattered.

This was a clear architectural manifestation of their core value: meritocracy.

The design encouraged competition and achievement, as every member knew that their place within the rings—and, by extension, their proximity to the family's heart—was earned through merit.

As Shen Xiu stepped out of her carriage, she was immediately surrounded by a flurry of servants, their voices blending into a chorus of welcomes and curious inquiries.

"Welcome back, Miss Shen Xiu!" one servant called out cheerfully.

"Is there a special occasion for your visit today?" another asked, their tone laced with genuine curiosity.

Shen Xiu barely registered their questions, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts and strategies.

The pressing issue at hand left no room for pleasantries.

She couldn't simply march into the Sacred Family's estate and reveal the plagiarism of the Scarlet Sunburst Array.

She knew all too well that elders like Shen Ming would not hesitate to claim her hard work as their own, especially with the Patriarch away in isolated training and the council wielding unchecked power.
