Dimensional Descent

Elder Aria was stunned silent, and then her expression twisted. "You-!"

Leonel held up a hand. "Do not misunderstand. I respect my elders and your experience. I am not casually dismissing your plans out of malice or anger, nor am I acting out of emotion."

'Though, even if I was, it really wouldn't make much of a difference,' Leonel thought to himself with a smile. Whether he was being emotional or not, he didn't believe there were many, if any, who could outmaneuver him in this world. Victory would be certain one way or another, but since he had his wits about him, he might as well be calm and calculated, taking the best and most perfect course of action.

Aria grit her teeth, but since Leonel had spoken so clearly, it was her duty to calm down and listen to him. She really wanted to hear what he could possibly say that was better than her plan.

"First, you all need to understand something. If we cannot get on the same page, we will never be in harmony, and if we lack harmony, you all will fight me every step of the way.

"You need to understand that these choices I'm making aren't only because they will benefit the Morales family the most, but also because there is no other choice."

Leonel looked through them one by one. "I know you heard my words, I know you feel that they are reasonable, and I know that in your thoughts, you believe that the only thing we can do against such allegations is to stall. But do you know what these families fear the most right now?"

Aria's jaw tightened.

"That's right. You're all very experienced. What they fear the most is us having time; they fear us unearthing the potential of our new Lineage Factor, of birthing more talents that have acclimated to it from birth, of me potentially sharing whatever illusory and mysterious plan my father has to help others improve greatly in a short period of time.
