Chapter 1088
When he heard this, warmth filled Fane's heart. "Don't worry. I'll help to treat your condition," he said,
smiling. "Now I’m suspecting that it was Lily who administered the poison. She already sent assassins
after me in Middle Province.
Who's to say that she won't do something like this!"
“Ah. She sent assassins after you, and the Ninth Patronum—who are in a good relationship with the
Third Elder and the others—was waiting to kill you at the entrance. Furthermore, she joined hands with
the Third Elder to take some of the martial art resources for themselves by raising the tithe. They’ve
made their linkage clear before us!"
Fane released a sigh. "I'd be a fool to not
believe it even after all this!” he said impatiently.
"What should we do now, Father? I think it’ll be difficult. After all, the Third Elder is a powerful chi
practitioner. The only one who can probably match him now is the First Elder! That's why we have no
way of weeding them out.
"And Lily is no slouch either. More importantly, she's the first daughter of the Lagorio family. We’ll
thoroughly ruin our relations with the Lagorio family if we kill her. The Lagorio family has fallen, but
they're not weak. If we get into a war, there are a few elders from the Lagorio family here that might
side with them. So.."
Fane frowned when he considered the situation. He truly felt that there was no easy way to go about
this.
If they truly fought, there were plenty of servants from the Lagorio family in the Woods family who might
take their original family's side. Even if the Woods family emerged victorious from the feud, both sides
would take grave blows.
Besides, it had not been easy for the Woods family to have grown so strong—to finally stand among
the Eight Reclusive Families. I f they entered a familial war, they would probably drop quite a few ranks
in standing, putting all of their previous effort to waste.
Fane nodded his head in approval after he heard this. "You're truly an intelligent man. You’ve
understood the situation immediately. Ah, it would probably be better if I were healthy! Honestly, I'm not
afraid of killing the Third Elder and Lily— and I'm certainly not afraid of the Woods family losing their
reputation and strength. If Lily and the others have already done such deeds, it means that they're
eager to see us fight the Lagorio family. But I'm afraid that we'll fight against the branch families!"
Fane never thought that Nash would be able to look at the bigger picture while holding his pain in. It
made Fane reevaluate his character.
It must have not been easy for this man to become the master of the Woods family—to be able tonovelbin
guide the family, step by step, until they reached where they were now, and to make difficult choices
from time to time.
More importantly, the members of the branch families, as well as the forces attached to the Woods
family, totaled to about six or seventy percent. Reаd at Dram?nоvеls.coм
Fane went silent for a while before continuing, "Or we could hold a meeting to have the responsibility of
receiving and making records of the tithes to someone else! What do you think?"
