Philip’s remark was like a bomb that detonated in the meeting room. In an instant, the meeting room was full of bubbling emotions, and the heads of the Northern disciple families were very agitated.
By saying such words, Philip did not take them seriously at all!
“Arrogant! Don’t think that you can belittle our Northern disciple families just because you destroyed the Singer family!”
“That’s right! We have more than a hundred disciple families here, and we’re not pushovers! If we join forces, our strength is not something a junior like you can withstand!”
“Outrageous! The North will never agree to this!”
Hearing everyone’s angry rebukes, Patriarch Jones smiled and said, “Mr. Clarke, we know you have the power to destroy the Singer family, which is enough for small family heads like us to fear you, but this is a matter of survival for the Northern supernatural disciples. We’re not people who will give in just to survive. If you insist on forcing this matter, I’m afraid you won’t gain much either.”
Philip hummed and said, “Oh, if I understand correctly, you seem ready to negotiate terms.”
Hearing that, Patriarch Crawford glanced at Patriarch Jones and said, “We do have some terms that we hope you can consider. We in the North are not unreasonable.”
Hearing this, Philip swaggered over, sat on Patriarch Crawford’s chair, and crossed his legs. He said lightly, “Let’s hear it.”
Philip nodded, tapped his temple with his finger, and said, “What if I don’t agree?”
Philip was not stupid either and could naturally tell the meaning behind this condition. It was equivalent to giving the title to Cherry Villa without any practical use. Autonomy in the North and disassociation from the South meant no cooperation.
Patriarch Crawford smiled and said, “Mr. Clarke, this is our only condition. If you can’t even agree to this, we won’t allow Cherry Villa to enter the North.”
