Just as everything was happening on the mountain path, at the top of Thunder Mountain, the upper echelons of the Lightning Clan gathered in the main hall, discussing something.
Seated in the main seat was the Guardian of Lightning Clan, Franklin Chang. At this moment, he had a worried look on his face. He looked at the elders on both sides and said, "Do we really have to do this?"
A middle-aged man with a long beard sat down and said to Franklin, "Guardian, you are the leader of our Lightning Clan. Why the need to be so afraid?"
Franklin sighed and said to the long-bearded man, "Master Chien, I'm not afraid. It's just that if he found out that we did this, I'm afraid that..."
Without waiting for Franklin to finish, Master Chien said directly, "Guardian, to be honest, you think too highly of that person. You're too fearful of him! Our Lightning Clan is a force of the Black Level. How could we be afraid of an ordinary practitioner?"
Master Chien's words were so lofty that many other elders agreed with him immediately.
"Guardian, Master Chien is right. We, the Lightning Clan, have been around for a hundred years. We have been through so much. If we cancel the event and drive away the guests over such trivial matters, we will become the laughingstock of the public."
"Yes, Guardian, the Opening Day is starting soon. At this point, there's no need to be hesitating!"
Hearing the elders' persuasion, Franklin's expression improved, but he still looked worried and said, "However, we have already lost the Dragon Source Herb Farm to him. Yet, we are still organizing the Opening Day at the Dragon Source Herb Farm. No matter how you see it, we are still at fault!"
The "him" in Franklin's words naturally referred to Fade.
During the battle at the Martial Arts Convention, Franklin lost the Dragon Source Herb Farm to Fade as a result of a bet. Although Fade had not come to collect the herb farm in the months after, Franklin still had some worries in his heart.
In particular, the Opening Day made Franklin even more worried. He had not slept well recently.
After all, the Opening Day was equivalent to using Fade's property to win connections on behalf of the Lightning Clan. If Fade found out, things would get messy!
Thinking of this, Franklin couldn't help but remember the scene of the arena fight. He shuddered in his heart, feeling terrified.
However, the other elders hadn't experienced that fight, so they didn't understand Franklin's concern right now. They even felt that the Guardian was too timid and terrified of an ordinary practitioner.
Among them, the one who opposed him the most was the First Master Tyrion Chien, the long-bearded man who had spoken just now.
Sure enough, after hearing Franklin's words, Tyrion immediately stood up and said harshly, "Guardian, I don't agree with you."
"Fade hasn't come to the Lightning Clan to take over the Dragon Source Herb Farm. The farm is still not his."
"Even if he comes, it's still debatable whether we should give him the farm or not."
Upon hearing this, Franklin could not help but shiver. He looked at Tyrion and said, "Master Chien, do you mean..."
Tyrion looked directly at Franklin and nodded without any hesitation. Then, he glanced at the other elders and said aloud, "Guardian, now that all the people present are from our own side, I won't hide anything from you. Let's get straight to the point. We shouldn't give the Dragon Source Herb Farm to Fade."
"But we lost the bet..." Franklin said.
