95 The stench of betrayal 3 (1/2)
”Unlike the Heaven alliance protectors that hold not respect for the patriarch seat, those who disobey the Ku clan chief will be punished! I hold the power to banish you. We are not lacking those of your calibre. Do not let me repeat myself.” the Ku clan chief's voice lowered dangerously.
Protector Tang froze as he heard those words. Yes. The Ku clan was a bigger existence than the Heaven alliance. Their leaders can only be from the direct bloodline's first branch. The ability to operate lightening was a bloodline skill that is stronger with how close a person's linage is to the direct bloodline. Though the clan had protectors that had the same name and shared the same Ku blood, they had outsiders who join the clan and take up responsibilities like protectors. Even though he was of the Ku bloodline, he knew that anyone who betrayed the first branch would be punished severely. Even though the second branch fought for more power, they did not dare to openly stand against the second branch. This was not allowed.
Still, he did not understand why the clan chief would go as far as to threaten him here. At first, he thought that the clan chief was being careful of the alliance's new strength, but looking at his dead serious eyes, he wondered if something more was going on. Right now, the alliance protectors have betrayed their patriarch, yet the clan chief refuses to act?

”He is not wrong though.” Tie Nse chuckled. The crowd seemed to angry with him as they nodded too. But Tie Nse could not be bothered about Protector A'miem after he had spoken. He turned to give the Ku clan chief a deep look.
”I knew that old man from before was familiar.” he said and the Ku clan chief's eyes contracted as he froze.
”He must have told you,then. You know, yet you remain cautious.” Tie Nse said as though thinking. His words confused all of them, especially the other powers. What did the Ku clan chief know?
Seeing the Ku clan chief's frozen state, they started to have a bad feeling. The other protectors started to withdraw their hostility.
Seeing the way things turned around so fast, Protector A'miem panicked. This was a good opportunity for her to force Tie Nse to take her grand disciple as his disciple.
”You still try to act mysterious?” she glared at Tie Nse, ”There are so many other great juniors you can take in as your disciple. Give up the boy, this woman will give you another one! Di Wong, come here and bow to your master!” she ordered and Di Wong felt a little unwilling, as he did not like that he had to be forced upon the Patriarch, but he still went a head and knelt,
