Elder experts aren't supposed to interfere at will due to certain unwritten rules, but if the family's reputation is tarnished, they will have an excuse to step in.
Both the Zhuge family and the Mande family are among the top aristocratic families in the Southern Wilderness, who place great emphasis on reputation. If Xiao Chen took away tens of thousands of gold coins from Zhuge Kun and Hoffman privately, it would still be considered a grudge between the younger generations. However, him sending people to the two major families demanding a huge amount of gold coins, with an attitude of "doing things by the book", is a line-crossing move.
After hearing the news, a middle-aged man in the Regan family furrowed his brows in his study, saying, "Just who is this Xiao Chen to be so arrogant?."
A man dressed in black who seemed to have blended into the shadows reported, "Our investigation indicates that he is from the Human World and has shown extraordinary performance on Dragon Island."
