Chapter 3325 Sabotage

Calbhach, who had been making sarcastic comments earlier, fell silent, his gaze shifting to Glaucus, waiting for him to speak.

"The only safe place now is Calbhach's mansion," Glaucus said, his tone somber. "That's why I've called you all here today."

With those words, the last remnants of hope vanished from the gathered patriarchs. Their faces changed, the atmosphere in the room growing heavy. Calbhach, however, looked especially sour, scanning the faces of the other patriarchs, his internal frustration growing.

Even the most talented among them couldn't compare to the children of these families. Then Matthew came along and shattered that system. While they couldn't sever the funding pipeline to the Martial League, Matthew's reforms hadn't caused significant disruption-yet. The number of commoners able to enter the Martial League remained small, and the elite families stayed largely unaffected.
