Hearing this, Chandler’s face darkened, but he still persuaded Cooper, “Deputy Consul Berry, I’d like to advise you to think twice about this. If you take any action against the young patriarch of the Clarke family, I’m worried that Roger Clarke will retaliate. If that happens, things will be very tricky and may even trigger a chain reaction between the Clarke family and the Nonagon. At that time, there’ll be greater chaos in the country, and foreign forces will also invade.”
“Enough!” Cooper shouted coldly, walked up to Chandler, and said with a chill in his eyes, “Pavilion Master Curtis, I know what you’re thinking, but I’ve decided on this matter. No further discussion is needed! It’s just the Clarke family. You may be afraid but I’m not! Guards, invite Pavilion Master Curtis to go back and take a break. Let him reflect on his identity!”
Cooper shouted, and two loyal subordinates of his, each with extraordinary strength, walked out behind him.
This was house arrest. Chandler scowled and left the meeting room of the Nonagon. Then, Cooper glanced at the other people present and asked, “Anyone else with any objections can stand up now and take a break along with Pavilion Master Curtis.”
No one dared to make a move. Cooper was now different compared to before and held most of the power in Nonagon.
Cooper sneered and said, “In that case, our discussion ends here.”
After that, Cooper left the meeting room and said to his men behind him, “Go to Fernvale immediately. I want to see how arrogant Philip is!”
***
On Philip’s side, Reed, Fennel, the Shadow Guards, and the others were gathered together.
Reed said gravely, “I received a confidential report that Cooper Berry, the deputy consul of the Nonagon, has successfully reached the half-step to the other shore yesterday!”
