Wilfred had not yet passed down the position of Patriarch to Mido because he did not have sufficient trust in either his ability to lead or his dedication. Mido understood this. He was very clear that, if put in terms of ancient times, he would be the prince. But which emperor did not abdicate even when he was in his eighties? Wasn’t it clear that such an emperor would force the prince to rebel? Therefore, when he heard Adrian Banks’s words, he felt a flash of anger in his heart.
Mido immediately said coldly, “Sir, you’re right. I really can’t persuade my father.” Mido then turned and continued, “But I, myself, can make a move!”
When Adrian Peters heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked, “Mido, what does this mean?”
Mido blurted out, “It’s very simple. My father may be unwilling to cooperate with the Banks family, but I am willing. My cultivation is second only to his in the Elms family. In addition, I have two sons and a group of people who are willing to follow me. As long as Lord Banks looks up to us, I am willing to take people to Southaven to provide protection for Lord Banks!”
Adrian was thrilled.
“Old Man Elms is too stubborn. It may be impossible to persuade him to return, but this Mido seems to be sincere. If he really has a group of followers and can take them to Southaven to serve the master, my task this time was not a complete failure.” With this in mind, he immediately changed his tune and invited Mido in with a smile.
“Ha ha, Mido, come on, join me so we can talk!” With these words, he actually took the initiative to extend his hand and pulled Mido into the bus.
