Thoma's Warning

With Grey taken away by the Elder, only the important members of the O'Brien family were left. 

Thoma looked around before walking inside, Ellis behind him, accompanied by everyone else. Claude's face was portraying an array of mixed emotions, not sure of what to do now that Thoma was actually healthy again. 

He originally thought the control of the family would rest on him with Thoma out of the way, but now, everything has changed. What's worse is that he had mistreated Thoma's last surviving child, almost sending him to his doom a couple of times. Using the excuse of him being the cause of Thoma's illness as an excuse for the other Elders and also to make him grow stronger. 

Of course, not all the Elders agreed to this, but he had managed to win the majority of the Elders to his side, so he was successful with his plans.
