160 Souhon Clan’s Stand (1/2)

Kevin had to wake up early. There was a gathering with the other clans this morning, and he had to attend as the Ryukalin Clan Head. He looked towards the other two who were busy dressing up.

”There's no need to be so formal. Besides, many of them are our school's classmates.”

Neo looked back. ”Boss, you look good whatever you wear, but we don't. This is why we have to dress up carefully.”

Kevin gazed coldly as Neo shut his mouth. He knew that Kevin didn't like the joke, but he always said it out loud because he knew very well the situation that his Boss in was not that good. After all, Kevin was the youngest Clan Head among the five strongest and biggest clans.

Mike sighed. ”Boss, be careful of the others. Many of them are going to try taking advantage of you.”

”They won't be able to,” Kevin answered simply and calmly. He was not afraid of them. This was not the first time he faced them and he had been trying to keep a low profile as he didn't want to make those people focus their attention on him.

Even if the Ryukalin Clan was the strongest Clan, he still had to wait. His position was not stable enough to make the other Clan Heads submit to him as they did to his father years ago.

”Let's go.”

It was still early in the morning, but they already arrived at the venue. No one dared to come late as they knew that the other clans would look unfavorably on them if they came late to the gathering. If they wanted to increase their power, they would need to make sure that they gave a good impression.

Kevin walked inside with Mike and Neo following behind him. Usually, only the clan heads would attend with their close and trusted attendants, but occasionally, the young masters of the clans would appear to show their faces. This time was the same as there were several young men in either their teenage years or their early twenties.

”Boss, your seat is over there.”

The other four strongest clans were sitting around a table. Three of the Clan Heads brought their successors, who sat behind them. The Zone Clan brought Rick, the Souhon Clan brought Roy and Jay, while the other clan brought his first son.

When Roy and Jay saw Kevin, they were startled. At first, they didn't understand what this young man was doing here. They only knew him as a successful businessman in their school that they completely forgot his surname. 'Kalin' was the name only given to the direct lineage in the Ryukalin Clan.

”My apologies for making the elders wait,” Kevin greeted them formally.

Although he was not late, since he was the last, this was the usual custom. The others had already come, so they nodded their heads. Although some of them showed disdain, no one dared to blatantly make trouble for the biggest clan in this city.

As the biggest clan, the Ryukalin Clan held more than a quarter of the city as its territory. It was unprecedented and no one dared to imagine fighting head on with them. Unless they wanted to die, no one dared to.

The Souhon Clan only held around one sixth of this city as did the Tamari Clan, the third biggest clan in this city. Lastly, there were the Merion Clan and the Zone Clan who each held around one-seventh of this city as their territory. The rest of the city was divided by the smaller clans that were scattered all over the place.

Roy's eyes were fixed on Kevin. He had heard that the Ryukalin Clan Head was only a teenager. Now that he saw this man, he felt that the story was true. He rarely met with Kevin, but he already heard about this boy a lot in school.

On the other hand, Jay felt like fainting. He was basically Kevin's lackey during his time in school. From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that his father wouldn't get angry at him for what he did.

”As usual, let's discuss our current issues,” the Merion Clan Head started calmly. He was already an old man, but he was still filled with vigor. Behind his back, his son was watching him carefully. He was afraid his father was going to do something that crossed the line.

”Not a problem,” the other clan heads immediately engaged in the light talk. No one blatantly pointed out their bad relationships or whatever as they only wanted to talk about things that were pleasant to the ears at the beginning.

The big clans were having a good time talking about this and that as the smaller clans could only engage in light talk amongst themselves. Some of the clans were too small to attract the big clans' notice, so no one tried to interfere. Unless there was a change in the composition of the five clans, they didn't dare to interrupt.
