"We... are willing to follow Senior Feng's wishes and let Madam resume control of the Xue Clan Trading Company."
Without the slightest hesitation, as Wei Tu emerged from the council hall alongside Second Madam Xue after his victory, the Xue Family elders led by the Second Elder immediately declared their submission and handed over the power in their hands.
"It is a blessing for the Xue Family that the Second Elder has returned from his misguided path."

Since Wei Tu did not covet the Xue Clan Trading Company and merely sought some resources for his breakthrough, it was, for the trading company, all benefit and no harm.
