Hearing Christian’s words, Philip scowled, and a chill flashed in the corner of his eyes. This was practically asking him to release Levi as though nothing had happened. “Christian, do you really think I’d agree to this?” Philip said coldly, and his face became more solemn. Christian smiled slightly and said, “We’re the branch of the Clarke family, after all. Coming from the same source, we mustn’t forget our roots. Levi is young and lacks the experience to think things through. What he did today was completely reckless. I’ll make him reflect upon this.” “Do you really think self-reflection is enough to cover up the branch family’s intention to rebel against the Clarke family? Christian, your thinking is too simple…” “The branch family is so ambitious. How can I condone such a threat by my side?” Philip said coldly, his attitude very firm and transparent. Christian frowned slightly, shook his head helplessly, and said with a sigh, “What are your conditions, then?” Philip said, “The branch family is to remove all guard forces, which will be taken over by the guards of the main family…” “In addition, the branch family is not allowed to be involved in the Clarke family’s core businesses, and you have to hand over half of your assets to the main family for management.” “Impossible! You’re dreaming! By doing this, you’re driving us to our graves!” Levi immediately roared frantically. Christian glared at Levi fiercely before he turned to Philip and said, “I can agree to your conditions.” Philip frowned. He did not expect Christian to agree so indifferently. Hearing this, Levi was dumbfounded and said, “Father, what did you say? You actually agreed? What’s the difference between the branch family and insects, then?”
“Yes, Lord Chieftain. If we agree to this, the branch family will completely lose all power!” “Lord Chieftain, please think twice!” Clatter! The elders of the branch family knelt at this moment. Philip’s frown became deeper because he could tell that all members of the branch family refused to yield to the main family. Such an existence must be weakened as soon as possible, even destroyed! Christian shouted angrily, “Enough! I’ve made up my mind. Say no more! The branch family has belonged to the Clarke family right from the beginning! I won’t pursue your actions before this, but if anyone dares to have any unruly thoughts from now on, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Crack! After saying that, the tiles under Christian’s feet shattered and cracked. In an instant, the elders of the branch family fell silent. Christian looked at Philip and said, “Are you satisfied now?” Philip frowned. He knew this was all he could do for today. Otherwise, if he aroused Christian’s anger, it might cause greater conflicts. “Christian, I hope you remember your words today! If I find out that the branch family has any treacherous thoughts, I’ll destroy the entire branch family without hesitation!” With that said, Philip turned around and left with the Griffin Army. Seeing Philip’s departing back, Christian’s face slowly darkened. “Father, why did you bow down to him? You’re the chieftain of the branch family, a pseudo realm of the other shore! Why are you so afraid of Philip Clarke?!” Levi could not figure it out, his face full of resentment and puzzlement.
