Female Novel
Chapter 1082
"We don't know if the master knows about this, and we dared not ask. We're afraid of offending others
if we ask too many questions." The old man was one of the branch family masters. He spoke with a
frown, and helplessness was written all over his face.
It was apparent that they feared the main family members while wanting to get more martial
enhancement resources for the branch families.
"Who's in charge of these things?" questioned Fane.novelbin
"First Elder was in charge when the requirement was fifty percent, but he then had to manage other
things, thus Third Elder was placed in charge of the matter.”
Lancelot smiled. "Not long after he was tasked with managing the martial enhancement resources, he
told us that the upper management decided to raise it to sixty percent, concluded in a meeting.
“He said that the main family had developed well and many of their youngsters had breakthroughs. We
were asked to be considerate toward the main family and sacrifice a bit more. They also said that
they'll let us keep some of the resources after the family master gets better."
Chad, the old man with white hair, also nodded. "Yes, and we understood the difficulties the family
master faced. After all, it was best to concentrate the resources and let a small amount of people
breakthrough, and that’s why no one said anything. Alas, the amount increased again not long after
that.”
Another old man chimed in, "Yes. Several people voiced their unhappiness when the requirement rose
to seventy percent, but the Third Elder killed them in front of everybody else. He was furious, indeed,
saying that the branch family members are inconsiderate and even said that we're supposed to serve
the main family!"
These people from the branch families were obviously angry but they dared not say it out loud. They
could only hold it in as there was strict management between the main and branch families.
A thought then occurred to Fane as he prodded, "By the way, are these resources safely kept by the
Third Elder after they're collected?"
He finally understood what was going in. H e seriously suspected that the non-stop increase in the
resources submission from the branch families was not his father's idea, and it was the Third Elder's
action alone.
The Third Elder was afraid that his actions would be exposed, which was why he killed those against
the requirement and him, effectively silencing the branch family members despite their anger.
Fane felt that the reason they could muster their courage and tell him what happened was that he was
not a member of the main family before this, and it helped that he himself invited them to stay for drinks
and share whatever they had in mind. These family masters were brave enough to tell him everything
because of that. Updаted at Drамanоvels.cом
Fane's expression darkened when he heard that, and everything clicked for him.
