With an agreement made, Ezra and Asadon discussed a few more details before ending the call.
While made it so that he didn't need a clan for support, the connections provided were irreplaceable.
All clans were connected to other clans in various ways, forming an indispensable network that allowed for all sorts of exchanges and opportunities that wasn't be available for non-clansmen.
It would take forever for him to try to gain such connections by himself.
Moreover, the higher one's position in a clan, the more access to this network and subsequently, more access to other opportunities.
By securing the position of an Elder, Ezra basically got himself the highest position in the clan in one go.
With the clan leader providing him updates of daily affairs, Ezra intended to go to the clan once there was news of a special event.
