While the Seymour family discussed important family decisions in their ancestral family home, the Xiao family was doing the same in the secret base underneath their own ancestral home.
"The emperor's invitation, we must accept," Old Xiao made his decision firmly before adding, "I've only called everyone to let you all know and mentally prepare yourselves in advance."
"Are we not even going to consider the pros and cons, Grandpa?" Xiao Qing asked with surprise.
"There's nothing to consider, Qing-er. Attending the banquet is the right choice to make," Old Xiao stated confidently,
"It's an opportunity to mingle with many powerful families and meet Emperor Polemos in person, even better if we can meet the mysterious lord."
"Why would we want to meet the mysterious lord, Grandpa?! That person is said to be very ruthless and evil! Someone who plundered the world's resources and manipulated the dark forces from the shadows for ten millennia!"
