Chen Changan was quite satisfied with the Guan Family's attitude. At least its head dared to bring the matter up himself and try to find a solution.
Although his approach would not resolve the problem completely, his willingness to investigate was a sign of responsibility.
"Family Head Guan, I'll leave the investigation to you, then."
"Investigate without fear. No matter who is backing the Li Family, I'll deal with them."
Hearing Chen Changan's words, Family Head Guan nodded with a smile, then said, "This all started because of our Guan Family. Rest assured, we certainly won't shortchange you when it comes to extreme origin stones."
"After all, without you, we wouldn't just have lost the extreme source stone vein. Our entire family would probably be gone by now."
After the Guan Family head finished speaking, Chen Changan asked curiously, "And the Wei Family? Are you really letting them off just like that?"
At the mention of the Wei Family, the Guan Family head gave a helpless sigh. "Actually, our families used to be on quite good terms. This vein caused all the trouble."
"Our Guan Family had selfish motives too. The discovery of the vein made us lose our way, so we showed the Wei Family no consideration at all."
"It was only human nature for the Wei Family to react that way. We won't forgive them, but actually wiping them out... I couldn't do it."
"You see, my mother is from the Wei Family."
"And quite a few women in our family are from the Wei Family too. There have been so many marriages between us over the years that our ties are tangled and complex."
To think the Guan Family head's mother was actually from the Wei Family.
"Then I'd say your Guan Family was being rather unfair."
