52 Chapter 52 (1/2)

He wanted to start absorbing spirit stones and spending all of them on upgrading his cultivation, as well as getting that mind skill to ease his troubled mind. But at about that moment the doors to his new penthouse apartment opened up and his good old gramps walked out with two people that were closer to Zhang Dong's age group. The man looked a bit stern and calculative while the woman looked somewhat motherly with a smile on her face.

He almost did a business greeting in the form of a handshake while looking at the other male from the group, but then placed his hands behind his back and gave the people a nod. The two clasped their hands as they did a formal greeting and didn't talk, they let Zhang Jie do that instead.

”This is Zhang Ya and Zhang Kuo, they are my disciples and can be trusted, we need to talk about a couple of things.”

The two looked up at Zhang Dong, trying to feel him out.

”Ah, I guess you want to talk about me becoming the next Patriarch, are you sure about that Gramps?”

The two people twitched a bit after they heard the man call their clan's only core formation elder gramps. The man in question just grasped his belly and laughed out loud in a jolly voice.

”No one ever called me gramps before, but yes it's about that. Some members are against you becoming the new Patriarch, they don't want someone from the side family to be in that position.”

The man shrugged, kind of not caring about what those other clan members thought, he didn't put much weight in the purity of the blood, all Zhang Clan members were equal in his eyes. He was more interested in their character, drive and actual battle prowess.

”Well, not like they can do anything about it, they are mostly hot air. If they offend you in any way, be sure to give them a good thrashing!”

”Also Ya and Kuo will help you out with your Patriarch duties, if you need anything just give them a call, they'll be your guides around the clan grounds don't need to worry about making these two work hard!”

The man laughed some more before giving the two people behind him a pat on the shoulder. The female just smiled while the man rolled his eyes slightly.

”It's a pleasure to meet our Clan's savior, it's going to take some time to set up the ceremony and banquet.”

Matt tipped his head to the side while looking at the woman, question marks appearing next to his head.

”Ceremony, banquet?”

This time the man stepped out and replied.

”Yes, the Patriarch candidate is adorned with the title during the ceremony, all the core clan members have to be present during it. After the title is bestowed we host a banquet, then it's customary for the Patriarch to visit the city so that everyone can witness his grand appearance.”

While the man was talking the woman slowly went behind Matt and started patting him down. He noticed that she had a measuring tape in her hands.

”We need to prepare your robes for the ceremony, your white battle robes aren't suited for the festivities also the color isn't very eye-catching.”

The woman said while chuckling to herself and doing her measurements, her eyes were sparkling as she did it making it seem that she was really into this task.

”We still have to make repairs to the grand formation, account for the loss of lives in the attack and prepare for any further intrusions.”

”Do you think someone will attack us again?”
