The Desire to Make a Move
The old man stood up from his seat and swept over the meeting room with a hawk like gaze.
Everyone who met his gaze couldn't keep looking for more than a split of a second before they bowed their heads.
Clearly everyone present in this room were the elder's of the Hidden clan, and they all feared and respected their patriach.
Only a selected few elder's that were of high responsiblity and strenght didn't leave their position and join this meeting.
After all, if these selected few elders on top of the ladder of this clan left their position than chaos will surely errupt.
Moreoever, losing a few ressources won't be the least they are gonna be worried about, cause their heads might follow right after.
Even though the Imperial family forbid fights between the twelve great clans without an insanely good reason that can't be argued with.
Such a reason can be found with enough planning.
