The Old Man's Trick

Hearing such words made Berry frown from the side. She knew the third elder quite well, and this attitude seemed a bit forced and weird to her.

As for Fang, he knew he couldn't force William here. The third elder had to get William's permission by blocking all paths on his request to reject such an offer, using words to corner such a troublesome kid and force him to comply.

"It's better for her to stay with her master!" Lina couldn't take it anymore and blurted it out.

"The clan isn't safe," and as the third elder acted this daring and shameless, William didn't show any courtesy in his words anymore, "you just got out from such a deadly fight."

"Still, it's considered a safe place, not like here where she can get into trouble easily while you venture outside."

"No place in the world is safe," William gave such a decisive reply, one that couldn't be refuted by the elder in front of him, "the only safe place lies in one's power's reach, not what others can provide."
