Helen stared at Clara when she heard her words but said nothing as she knew that doing so would spell trouble for her and all of the hard work that she had been doing in the past.
There were two ways one could get strong and earn some reputation. One was Clara's path and that was the hard way to do things, and since Helen was not too interested in working as hard as her. Considering the fact that she didn't really have a power that boosted her power directly, she picked the other method since it was more convenient.
The other method was to make one's own organization or a team but Helen had taken it another step forward and brought her small group up to the level of being an entire kingdom.
It was her life's goal to reach the level of Clara's family and hopefully get even stronger and have better influence but unfortunately for her, one of the guys in their family got into trouble on a planet that she planned on taking over.
