Jacqueline had a tough ti conversing with Lith. Everything was going against her and nothing seed to be going right so far.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down and reason with these people. No matter what, at the end of the day, the Evure God Clan was her family and her ho. She couldn't outright plan their destruction.
Jacqueline thought about things and asked, "Can you tell with whom exactly you have an enmity with? Surely it can't be everyone, right? Since there's a lot of mbers who were born in the recent few centuries. They are innocent and haven't had any conflict with anyone. They don't deserve to die, do they?"
"Yes." Lith sipped tea and said calmly. "They surely don't."
"However, if their parents have done sothing bad, they would have to bear the karma and pay for it."
Jacqueline frowned again. "But there's many good people in the clan. Why would you want to kill them?"
"You tell , Miss Jacqueline…" Lith leaned forwards and put his teacup down.
"If my clan had hard any of your clan's mbers, would you have left alone?"
"Well…" Jacqueline didn't want to answer that, because she knew where this conversation was heading.
She held her head and sighed. Many calculations went through her head.
Even though Jacqueline's pride as a Evure was sky high, she had to take a step back in this conversation and think of things clearly.
Lith was not to be trifled with, and the lady who seed similar like him before, she was definitely really dangerous. She gave off a scarier aura than one of the Three Greats, Isa herself!
While she was contemplating, Lith knew this conversation would head to nowhere if they kept talking. Thus, to cut her so slack, he decided to drop a bombshell onto her.
"Do you know what my na is, Miss Jacqueline?"
Jacqueline looked up at him and shook her head. "No."
"Yours is Jacqueline Evure, isn't it?"
"Yes."
Lith nodded. The ladies around the table raised their eyebrows in surprise as the conversation got even more serious than before.
Sylvia stopped petting Zen, Fanny stopped eating cake, and even Fei stopped sipping on tea.
Lith crossed his legs as he reclined back on the chair and answered in a neutral tone, "I am Lith. Lith Evure."
"…" Jacqueline frowned.
Jacqueline frowned hard this ti.
"What did you say?"
"Exactly what you heard." Lith answered and took a sip of tea.
The ladies around the table were feeling their heartbeat quicken with this interaction. They didn't know why, but the atmosphere was quite tense.
"Huh?" Jacqueline couldn't believe it. "Lith Evure? A Evure? What? How co I've never heard of anyone with such a na in the family?"
"Why would you?" Lith questioned back. "Do you think the Evure God Clan will tell you everything? Do you think every single mistake of theirs can be known by you? Do you… even have the authority to know anything?"
Bombarded with so many questions, Jacqueline felt her head spin. She put her hand forward and said, "Wait. Wait. I'm unable to process everything all at once."
Lith stopped speaking and looked at her calmly.
"So you're saying… you are a Evure, and that there's so mistake the clan has done in regards to you?" Jacqueline pieced the information and asked.
"I am. And the mistake your clan has made… it will pay for it." Lith repeated.
"How is it 'your' clan? Is it not your clan too, given how you have the na—"
"No." Lith cut her off. "I have no relations with them. And I don't give a damn what they are or what they an."
Jacqueline frowned again. She was feeling a headache coming from this conversation. She drumd her fingers on the table and asked, "Okay. Let's start this from the beginning. So… you are a Evure, and you do not belong to the Evure God Clan, and you have grievances with them. Is that right?"
"Yes."
"Okay. So when you say you don't belong to that clan… do you also an that you don't have their blood running in your veins?"
"No." Lith wasn't going to lie about his bloodline. "My grandmother was from this clan, so I do have the Evure bloodline."
"Okay, so you are one of…" Jacqueline cut herself off and didn't say what she was about to say.
Since Lith's grandmother belonged to the clan and he had her blood, then he definitely belonged to the clan. But given how angry he seed when clubbed with the clan, Jacqueline didn't want to rattle him again.
Sohow, Jacqueline had cald down considerably when she understood Lith was one of her own. She also could understand the feelings of destroying the clan. She hated these guys too and wanted so of them dead.
"If you don't mind asking… what exactly happened to your grandmother?"
"She was killed."
"Oh…" Jacqueline knitted her brows. "I'm sorry about that…"
'Okay. Everything makes sense now.'
Thought Jacqueline.
If his grandmother was killed by the mbers of the clan, then it was understandable why he was so aggrieved and wanted all of them dead.
If soone did sothing to Jacqueline's parents, she too would have such an adverse reaction and think of killing everyone off.
Jacqueline massaged her temples and said, "I more or less understand what you're going through. And to be honest… you should've said so from the beginning that you're a Evure. It would've solved so much trouble."
Lith didn't respond.
Jacqueline went on. "And this also ans that the lady I t before… the one who looks so similar to you… she's also a Evure?"
Lith didn't know whom she was referring to.
"She's referring to Her Majesty…" Fei whispered from the side.
"Yes." Lith answered her.
"Okay. Good. Good." Jacqueline nodded her head. "Since you're a Evure, it ans you're not an outsider. Okay, I am at peace then. I don't really mind whatever you do to the clan."
Lith and the rest of the ladies looked at Jacqueline with a weirded out expression.
Jacqueline shrugged. "No, really. If it was so outsider, I wouldn't have taken it lightly. But it's not an outsider. His conflict could be taken as an internal conflict of the clan. Whether the clan is destroyed by the internal conflict or continues to stand tall… it's none of my business."
"Hm?" Lith raised an eyebrow. "Even if soone related to you is killed, you won't be unhappy?"
"No." Jacqueline shook her head. "If they've hard your family, then you have all the right to try harming them. They're not little kids who need my protection. If they can't protect themselves from you, then they did deserve to die. I'll definitely be sad, but will forget about it eventually because they died in an internal conflict."
The ladies and Lith couldn't believe what they were hearing.
It all felt so unbelievable. And this girl… she truly did have a screw loose in her head.
"So, whose side are you on now?"
"Nobody's." Jacqueline reclined back on the chair and said with a sigh. "You guys figure out what you want to do. I'll be a spectator and not interfere in this."
"Oh well… then so be it." Lith shrugged.
"Don't cry if you find everyone dead."
"I won't, don't worry."
"Alright then…"
