CHAPTER 634: CHAPTER 634: COULD THERE BE SOMETHING GOING ON? (2)

"I see." Elias Hawthorne nodded and looked towards the Jacobs Family’s seat. "From now on, the Jacobs Family will sponsor The Celestial Alliance until they overcome poverty or offset the value of the land."

Upon hearing Elias Hawthorne’s words, not only were the others shocked, but even Raina North was stunned.

She had long known that since the Lord of the Dark Tower was Elias Hawthorne, he would surely protect her, but she never expected him to support her this much.

Pip Finch and the others from The Celestial Alliance were also shocked. This... is this really happening?

This young lady who suddenly joined The Celestial Alliance is incredible, truly a leader among leaders.

But why is it the Jacobs Family who will sponsor them?

The members of the Jacobs Family were equally astonished. Once they confirmed among themselves that this was not a hearing error but a genuine absurd order from the Lord of the Dark Tower, they erupted in chaos.

Elder Kane, who had previously been ousted, stood up from within the Jacobs Family’s higher-ups. He looked towards the Lord of the Dark Tower and couldn’t help but ask, "Lord of the Dark Tower, why should the Jacobs Family sponsor The Celestial Alliance? What’s the reason?"

Elder Kane’s words carried a tone of anger. What a joke, asking them to sponsor The Celestial Alliance?

Why? Because The Celestial Alliance is poor?

Besides, since when was The Celestial Alliance poor? Though their power may not match The Six Great Families, they are well-known for their wealth-building prowess, each of them overflowing with riches, right?

Elias Hawthorne replied calmly, "The largest factory the Jacobs Family has in Greenwood belongs to The Celestial Alliance. As far as I know, the Jacobs Family hasn’t paid a cent in rent over the years. Have I said anything incorrect?"

Upon hearing Elias Hawthorne’s words, the members of The Celestial Alliance also remembered.

Years ago, the Jacobs Family indeed snatched away the largest piece of land The Celestial Alliance had in Greenwood, but at that time, Orion had already left The Celestial Alliance, and without leadership, they couldn’t reclaim it.

Moreover, there’s no reason for stolen items in The Umbral Zone to be rightfully returned.

Exactly, once it’s taken, there’s no need to return it.

The spirits of the members of The Celestial Alliance lifted as Pip Finch also realized, jumping up and pointing at Elder Kane while angrily cursing, "What shameless Jacobs Family, you robbed our land, and we of The Celestial Alliance grudgingly accepted it. Now when we take back what’s ours, you all have the face to band together and denounce us, you disgraceful lot!"

Even other leaders of different forces looked displeased.

Elder Kane was even more infuriated. Just what is the Dark Tower up to? Clearly, the Dark Tower was leading this campaign against The Celestial Alliance, why would it suddenly speak on their behalf?

If these words were to spread, how could they justly stand on the moral high ground to denounce The Celestial Alliance?

Elder Kane couldn’t hold back any longer and said, "Lord of the Dark Tower, isn’t this decision inappropriate?"

Elder Kane’s words were a reminder, meant to remind the Lord of the Dark Tower that this time, it wasn’t just the Jacobs Family, but the Dark Tower also suffered losses due to The Celestial Alliance’s actions.

Besides, it’s not just land but goods that were taken from the Dark Tower. If the Lord of the Dark Tower were to support The Celestial Alliance, it would mean the Dark Tower couldn’t take issue with this.

Could the people of the Dark Tower agree to this?

Elias Hawthorne slowly turned his gaze to Elder Kane, his eyes gleaming coldly, captivating the soul: "Elder Kane, are you instructing me? Or teaching me how to do my job?"
