Faced with Irving's proposal for cooperation, the ancestor of the Smith family did not immediately respond.
After a prolonged silence, the ancestor finally spoke slowly.
"I am willing to cooperate with you, but you must agree to three conditions."
Irving didn't agree immediately. Instead, he decided to hear out the ancestor's conditions.
"You can tell me what your three conditions are. If I find them acceptable, I will agree. If not, then it seems we won't be able to cooperate."
Irving's words were straightforward. He had no intention of pretending to cooperate, only to betray the ancestor at a crucial moment like Elder Seville would.
The ancestor of the Smith family slowly laid out their three conditions.
"The first condition is very simple for you. I want you to ensure Vicky's safety. After all, Vicky is my descendant, and she is now the head of the Smith family."
Irving could easily agree to the first condition.
