Claud revealed his own identity so that the Burnham family would become loyal to him.
The Vasquez family was also Claud's target.
Claud had been pondering over a lot of things ever since he learned from Neil and the like that Claud might be a member of the Allston clan.
And it perplexed Claud a lot as to why the Allston family from New York would end up becoming castaways.
Also, the Allston clan failing to take any action when the Allston family was destroyed was confusing.
Why?
Claud was eager to figure everything out.
It was just that those matters concerning the Seven Noble Clans were simply not trivial because so many higher-ups were involved. It was true that the Celestial Palace was strong, but openly confronting the central government and Washington DC like that was not sensible at all.
That was why Claud needed help elsewhere.
