On the other hand, Matriarch Stow, one of the few female family heads in the meeting room, remained calm and did not speak. The rest of the heads also fell silent when they heard the opinions of Patriarchs Crawford and Jones.
“I agree with Patriarch Jones. We can’t give in!”
“That’s right! What can the Supernatural Bureau do to the entire North? We mustn’t compromise!”
Someone shouted, “But don’t forget that the South won the competition the other day, and there’s also that Mr. Clarke. I heard that the force behind him is not that simple. Even Grandmaster Turner failed to kill him. It’s rumored that another powerhouse a half-step to the other shore appeared and stopped Grandmaster Turner.”
An uncanny voice sounded in the meeting room. Everyone raised their eyebrows when they heard this. Yes, even Grandmaster Turner failed to kill Philip Clarke, which went to show that the force behind him was not simple.
“Say, does anyone know the identity of Philip Clarke? I don’t think he’s a simple character. He’s the one secretly supporting some of the things behind this,” Someone asked at this moment.
Patriarchs Crawford and Jones scowled. The former said, “No matter who he is, we absolutely can’t allow him to stick his fingers in the Northern supernatural disciple world! Of course, it’s not that we can’t give them any leeway. As long as they agree to our terms, everything can be discussed.”
Patriarchs Crawford and Jones exchanged a glance. Everyone looked at Patriarch Crawford and asked, “What do you mean?”
Patriarch Crawford smiled subtly and said, “As long as they agree that the North will still be managed by the Northern families, we’ll allow them to set up a branch of Cherry Villa in the North.”
Hearing that, everyone immediately understood. This meant that they would only allow Leon’s Cherry Villa to set up a branch in the North, but the actual rights remained in the hands of the Northern disciple families.
This was a good proposal!
“I agree!”
“I second that!”
In an instant, almost half the attendees raised their hands in agreement. However, the remaining minority looked worried. They did not think that things could progress so smoothly. At least, Leon would not agree, and neither would Mr. Clarke.
