“Jaden, I will definitely not forget about this. Once a trash, always a trash. Today, you may have defeated me, but so what? In the future, I will be the disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect, whereas you will be nothing. Grandfather, let us leave!” as Marcus got to this point, he felt the chill in Jaden’s eyes. His heart suddenly shivered, and he no longer dared to say anything else as he dragged Victor to leave.
If they were to stay any longer, then it’d be bringing more disgrace on themselves. As the grandfather and grandson left, the Conference Hall’s atmosphere once again froze. At first, there were some attendees who wanted to seize that opportunity and slip away. After feeling Jaden’s gaze on themselves, they could only endure it and stay.
In actuality, they had no need to dread Jaden at all. That was because Jaden’s cultivation was definitely not a match for them. Furthermore, Jaden’s current strength was only temporarily stronger. At the end of the day, his Bloodline Limit was only of a Yellow-grade It was simply not on par with Marcus. However, because Jaden won over the Marcus who stood at the peak in their heart, this caused their instinct to instigate fear.
“I would like to ask if the present people are still planning on Challenging my father? Is it still wrong if my dad gives me five hundred Qi Nurturing Pills?” Jaden asked indifferently.
As he asked this, the present attendees' heads felt like rattle drums, “How is that possible? Patriarch William is just assisting the genius of the Clan... How is that wrong?”
“In my opinion, giving five hundred Qi Nurturing Pills is still not enough, there should be a bit more.”
“That’s right! Young Lord Jaden, you are the genius of our Shiba Clan. Spending a few Qi Nurturing Pills on you is not a problem.”
“The Patriarch position of our Shiba Clan can only be claimed by Patriarch William!
“……”
These attendees completely changed their attitude, filling it with flattery and sweet talk. Now that Marcus and Victor were gone, they wouldn’t dare to Challenge William’s position in the clan. Marcus would become a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, however, they wouldn’t. If they were to continue Challenging at this point, then who knows what would happen if William made his move.
William looked down at the others Within his eyes there was a trace of sorrow, as well as a bit of indifference. After going through this, William was very clear on one thing. This crowd of people from the Shiba Clan were just like the tall grass... Wherever it was more beneficial, they learned that direction. They had no loyalty whatsoever. In that instant, William suddenly felt a bit dull.
" Son, alright, let us leave,” William waved his hands and looked at Jaden with pride filling his gaze.
“Father, wait a moment. I still have a few things to say to the present attendees.” Jaden’s gaze was tranquil as he looked toward the present people. The people were slightly startled, followed by them appearing to listen attentively.
“You are the attendees of the Shiba Clan, and accordingly, you are also my seniors,” Jaden said without emotions, “However, after the matter that happened today, you are no longer seniors in my eyes.”
The first words that came out of his mouth caused most of those present to have a great change to their faces. Jaden didn’t seem to care about this. Instead, his tone was increasingly sharp, “In my eyes, you are just like a tall grass, going along with the flow of those with power. The stronger one side is, the more you lean toward it. You challenge my father’s position as Patriarch while repeatedly saying it was because of my father giving me, his son, five hundred Qi Nurturing Pills carelessly.”
“However, what about the facts?”
“Who was the reason behind the development of the Shiba Clan? My father! If we exclude the contribution my father has made, then we can still count the immense work he put behind it. So what if he gave five hundred Qi Nurturing Pills to his son? What’s more is that he even used his own salary to compensate for this action.”
“Could it be that you people believe that the Patriarch shouldn’t carry any personal feelings whatsoever?”
As Jaden said this, a wrath began to surge within his eyes, “However, your attitudes have severely disappointed me. None of you seem to realize my father’s effort, and none of you seem to understand the responsibility of a father. All you see is the matter of Marcus being selected as a disciple for the Heavenly Sword Sect!”
Each and every word carried Jaden’s immense anger. This was the reason as to why Jaden decided to stomp down the gates this time. The sacrifices William had made for the Shiba Clan were boundless. However, the result of that was a group of people attacking him. This kind of action really made people bitter.
“This is all I want to say: whatever you choose when the time comes is up to you. I know that Victor will definitely not leave this matter as it stands, and neither will Marcus. However, I have one more warning for you. After you’ve made your decision, you better not regret it.”
After he finished, Jaden’s complexion turned tranquil once again, no longer paying any attention to the gazes of the attendees. Together with William, he walked out of the Conference Hall.
The people within the Hall came back to their senses and looked at each other in dismay.
