As Reba was speaking she was suddenly interrupted by the sound of Patriarch Randall


    ...


    "Today, I as Patriarch of the Pierce n herby congratte Grand patriarch Jarred on his miraculous recovery.


    Tomemorate such a joyous event the Pierce n has brought many gifts to kinsman n as seen earlier!"


    There was a loud apuse as everyone apuded the ims of the Pierce n Patriarch But behind this friendly disy from the Pierce n, most people here knew there was a much greater reason behind the sudden nice treatment.


    Now that Grand Patriarch Jarred had recovered the Kinsman n now had aplete Martial Adept realm cultivator.


    Just this fact alone was enough to finish the Pierce n. Just look at the ter n, as soon as the protection of the Blood Moon Pce left they were swiftly dealt with and exterminated by the Kinsman n.


    Don''t look at Winton and think that it''s normal to be able to fight people in the realm above you, that man was just a monster that couldn''t be judged by normal standards!


    For a regr martial journeyman realm cultivator, all it would take was for a martial adept realm cultivator to fart in their general direction for them to be pped into oblivion.


    And it was Because of this depressing fact that the Pierce n knew that if they wanted even the slightest chance at surviving, they would have to find a way to buy it from the Kinsman n.


    after a brief pause waiting for the apuse to die down, Randall once again began to speak.


    "in addition to this, the Pierce n will not be in contention for the spirit steel mines previously owned by the ter and are even willing to give up half of the resources earned from one of our mines!"


    "ahh!"


    Gasps of disbelief sounded out through the hall as they heard Patriarch Randall''s statement.


    They weren''t that surprised at Randall giving up contesting for the ter n mines and resources as that was already sort of expected after seeing the tyrannical strength showed by the Kinsman n.


    what really shocked them was Randall giving up half the proceedings of one of their mines!


    The Pierce n only had 2 Spirit Steel mines so giving up half of one mine was giving up a quarter of their annual profits!


    Even Grand Patriarch Jarred, who had already been expecting some sort of bribe from the Pierce n, was still surprised at the extent the Pierce n was willing to go to ensure the mercy of the Kinsman n.


    But the next words Patriarch Randall said shocked the crowd even more.


    " Although I''ve always felt that although the Kinsman n and the Pierce n already have a very good rtionship, there is still room to improve it.


    And it''s Because of this reason, I, as the patriarch of the Pierce n, am willing to propose an engagement between the treasure of the Pierce n, Adelia Pierce, and the Legendary Dual spirit awakener, Dante Kinsman!"


    Hearing this statement the crowd present burst into an outrage.


    Randall Pierce was actually trying to join the two ns through marriage!


    hearing Randall''s statement, Dante was just as surprised as the rest of the crowd. He only came to observe the meeting and now he was the topic for an engagement!


    Dante looked towards his proposed partner, Adelia Pierce, and suddenly felt a sense of duty to the n swell inside of him


    ''Maybe this engagement won''t be so bad after all


    I mean.., it''s my duty to do whatever is in the best interests of the n right?''


    Some people had to be engaged to ugly partners, at least his partner was a jaw-dropping beauty. with these facts, you really wouldn''t find Danteining.


    Just as Dante was about to step forward and beat the responsibility of the n on his back Grand Patriarch Jarred''s cold voice suddenly spoke out inside the hall.


    "You want an engagement to my grandson and With only the backing of your Pierce n?


    Let me ask you a question. Are you even worthy?"


    After hearing Jarred''s words, Patriarch Randall was left stunned and couldn''t help but ask in


    "pa..pardon?"


    "You heard me" replied Jarred


    "Is your Pierce n even worthy of an engagement from the kinsman n?


    My Grandson, Dante, is already a dual spirit awakener his talent lies far beyond the small reaches of a ce like brightsteel city!


    Does your Pierce n even have someone who is able to match such a talent?


    Even if we look at the power of each n, the Pierce n doesn''t even have someone of cultivation of The martial adept realm!


    Other than a slightly pretty daughter, what does the Pierce n even have going for them?"


    after Grand patriarch Jarred finished speaking the crowds were left stunned silent.


    The silence was so loud you could even hear a pin drop but despite this silence, Patriarch Randall was going mad internally.


    ''You old fart! How dare you humiliate the Pierce n in such a way!


    Ie to you bringing gifts only to be treated like this! You may as well have pped me in the face!''


    Despite Patriarch Randall''s burning anger, he dared not show it on his face.


    Realistically what could he do?


    In front of Grand patriarch Jarred who was a martial adept realm cultivator he was nothing more than an ant.


    Grand Patriarch Jarred had just pped him in the face and all he could do was take it!


    "Hahaha! It seems like I overstepped my boundaries with this proposal. just take those words as the mad ramblings of this tired patriarch"


    trying to save some of the dignity the Pierce n still had left, Patriarch Randall proposed to leave


    but before he could even take a few steps he was interrupted by Jarred''s voice


    "When you leave remember to leave the gifts you brought, out of respect for your father I''ll let you keep the half of your mine you offered."


    hearing Jarred''s words, Randall almost snapped as he turned around to Jarred in a rage,


    but just as he turned around he made eye contact with Jarred''s pair of emotionless eyes and when he did it was like a bucket of cold water was poured onto him.


    looking at Jarred''s eyes, Randall could clearly sense that Jarred wasn''t ying any games with him.


    If he dared to make a scene here, Jarred would squash him like a bug!


    Despite all his internal fury, Randall could only sigh at how strong the Kinsman n had be and quickly drag his members out of the Kinsman n hall.


    The Pierce n members quickly lowered their heads as they quickly hurried out trying to hide their embarrassment!
