"I've agreed to this, but there's no way we can commit our core resources directly. How about this: we have Sandru serve as a branch of the Id Family. We can assign the extra family members who are willing to go with him to his command. As for how far he can develop that branch, that'll be up to them."
The higher-ups took the patriarch's words relatively well, but Aiden and some of the Level 9 players who had never been given a chance to advance glared at him furiously.
What kind of thinking was this? Just to preserve a little authority as head of the Id Family, he was willing to throw away their chance to grow?
They had to remember that Liu Zhi had offered Aiden extremely favorable terms.
If they agreed to Liu Zhi's proposal, then aside from everything else, all the Level 9 players here would have a chance to break through to Level 10.
And that wasn't all they would gain. If Liu Zhi's later plans succeeded, they might even have a chance to reach an even higher level.
Yet now the patriarch had rejected the whole thing with a single sentence.
How could they possibly accept that?
One particularly burly-looking player slapped the table. "Kadaxi, we accepted you as our patriarch back then not just because of your strength. You also promised you'd give us opportunities. Now there's one right in front of us, and you refuse to take it. Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
The patriarch flew into a rage. "If we follow Sandru's proposal, will the Id Family still be the Id Family?"
"What makes it any different? Sandru is part of the Id Family. He cultivates the Underworld Ecosystem, and he's more than strong enough to be our patriarch.
