When Beth arrived at the Qin Clan's residence, Victoria was already summoning the clan's other elders. She immediately followed and went to her side.

"The Qin Clan has hidden itself away from society here on the Cloud Mountain for the past twenty years. I think it's time we go out and make our presence felt again," Victoria declared matter-of-factly, bordering nonchalance. No one responded to her, and instead, they just looked at each other with puzzled looks.

The Qin Clan had hidden themselves away from people's prying eyes mainly because of the harassment they had to endure for years.

calmly said, "Mother, Douglas is my son. I care deeply about him and his safety. He has fallen into the hands of Prince Matthew who controls the Black Flag Army's three hundred thousand soldiers! If they all come for us, I'm afraid that Phoenix City can do nothing to help

If that's the case, then who are you cooperating with? Yes, my son's life is in Harper's hands, but more importantly, we have our people to protect. We need to give them more security, and not just empty promises!" Beth responded in a way that was neither humble nor pushy. She thought, 'Old bitch, you didn't strike any deal with Phoenix City, did you? You are just lying! Since Darren is currently in the process of dying, how did you secure
