Chapter 1083

Today, the Third Elder had openly spoken o n Lily’s behalf, and coupled with that were the rumors

about how close they were as of late. This made him sure that Lily and the Third Elder were working

together and were responsible for poisoning his father.

It seemed like that was not all. They must have worked together to embezzle lots of martial

enhancement resources.

A few of the branch family masters were rather unnerved when they noted how silent Fane was with a

grave expression.

One of the branch family elders immediately shifted the conversation and said, "Young Master Fane,

don't misunderstand us. We're saying this without resentment, just to get things off of

our chests. We feel that the branch families lack martial enhancement resources, nothing more than

that!"

Another of the branch family masters said, "Come, let’s drink, Young Master Fane. We never suspected

Third Elder and First Madam, especially First Madam. She's the family master’s wife, so we're sure that

she won't do something like this!”

Lancelot was also afraid of Fane getting angry and that everything was really the main family’s idea. He

quickly held his wine glass up. "Yes, Young Master Fane. We're only talking about it and we dare not

make assumptions. Apart from that, the main family had developed nicely, and we’re finally one of the

eight reclusive families. We’re happy that the family has grown!"

Fane looked at the crowd before saying.

Don't be afraid. I invited everyone here so I can hear your concerns and pleas. I’m not sure why they

collected that many martial enhancement resources, and I'm also unsure if this is the decision my

father and the other elders came to after the meeting. I'll ask about this on everyone's behalf."

Startled, Chad blurted, “No, no, no...! Young Master Fane, if you're to ask, the Third Elder and First

Madam will be downright enraged when they know about this. It won't matter what's going on: we’d be

killed!"

"That's right. Young Master Fane," Lancelot added. “If you asked, and if this truly was the decision

everybody made in the meeting, the Third Elder would be unhappy and say that we conspired against

him. However, if this was not the decision made by the main family members and somebody was hiding

the martial enhancement resources, they'd be just as angry, and we’d still suffer the fate of being

killed."

Fane smiled and raised his wine glass when he saw the frightened expression on the other party's

face. "Come, let's raise our glasses and finish this drink!"

The group of people glanced at each other anxiously, not knowing what Fane was thinking. They

carefully finished the wine i n their glasses when they saw how Fane finished his.

The branch family members relaxed when they heard what Fane said.

"Thank you, Young Master Fane!” Lancelot immediately gestured to Fane with a sincere expression on

his face. New chąpter avąilable oո
