The Two Patriarchs

The sudden shift in policy towards the employees who refused to join the clan came as a major shock to everyone.

While there were plenty of people who expected the Larkinson Clan to phase out the uncommitted workers in their midst, they didn't expect it to come so soon and without transition!

Ves didn't care. Regardless of how many complaints and suggestions he received, he stood by his stance.

Considering his current prestige in his clan, the Executive Council and the Larkinson Assembly didn't dare to go against his will.

Besides.. his declaration made a lot of sense. Having suffered the sting of betrayal, his clansmen were a lot more sympathetic towards the idea of relying on themselves.

A lot of departures took place during this time. Thousands of workers received notices that their services were no longer required after a certain amount of time.
