"Is that why you want to remove the Mu clan from the council?" One of the middle aged men who wore a single earring on his right ear asked.

"If it was like that, I would have long since done it. But no… the backer wants something else… they want the seat of the Mu clan specifically. In simple words, they do not want the Mu Clan to exist." Shantung revealed.
