Li Yunmu walked into the hall with a calm expression and sat down on the main seat beside Ashbi. Ashbi looked at Li Yunmu with a hint of astonishment on his face. God father's decision was to maintain a balance between the two sides.
As long as Chen Xiu accepted god father's command, two of the four great clans would be under his control. His power would advance by leaps and bounds and he would be able to contend against the city lord's mansion.
But now, he said that he didn't need the four great clans. Wouldn't that mean that he would become a general without an army and only have a group of useless slums?
"What did you say?" Ashbi asked, not believing that Li Yunmu would refuse.
"I appreciate god father's good intentions. But there's no need to divide half of the four great clans for me to manage. Although I don't have any enmity with the four great clans, the matter of the colosseum happened, so they must have some complaints in their hearts.
"Not to mention that if the four great clans become my subordinates, they won't do things sincerely. Everyone knows this in their hearts. So there's no need for such superfluous actions. "
While speaking, Li Yunmu swept his gaze over the four patriarchs sitting below, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The four patriarchs were expressionless, not revealing the slightest bit of emotion. A thought appeared in the hearts of the four of them. Chen Xiu shouldn't be an idiot, right?
In fact, Li Yunmu's words were correct. Even if god father gave the command to manage the two clans, the two clans would still do things on the surface without leaving any loopholes. But in reality, they wouldn't help him wholeheartedly.
But in any case, it was better than nothing. As long as Asura supported Li Yunmu, the two clans would do things on the surface. It was better than being a general without an army with only a group of mortal slums under him.
"Since you say so, I won't say anything else. But as long as you change your mind, you can tell me. The two clans will still be under your control. "Ashbi nodded. He was only going through the motions. If Li Yunmu really wanted them, then he would give the two clans to him.
But if he didn't want them, he would be happy. At least the four great clans would belong to him, which meant that the authority of the entire Asura City would still be in his hands. As for Li Yunmu choosing the group of useless slums of lower city, what use was that?
Li Yunmu looked at the silent patriarchs of the four clans and naturally knew what they were thinking. However, his main goal this time was to obtain control over half of Asura City. If he did that, the four patriarchs would not be able to laugh anymore.
Li Yunmu took the teacup handed to him by the maid and took a sip. "My objective this time is to discuss with you how to manage Asura City."
"Oh? Didn't god father say that Asura City will be jointly managed by the two of us? Do you have any opinion on this point? "Ashbi suspiciously looked at Li Yunmu.
"The four great clans were in charge of Asura City together with you, so there is nothing wrong with the four great clans controlling the middle city. However, now that the ancestors of the Four Great Clans had rebelled and died, the Four Great Clans had lost their power. Naturally, they could only be considered ordinary Asura Clans. In this way, it would be unreasonable for the collateral descendants of the four great clans to occupy the entire midtown area. "
"That's why Asura City should be divided. This way, it will be easier for both of us to manage. Don't you think so? "
When he said that, the complexions of the four great clan patriarchs turned gloomy. Even if their ancestors had died and their power had been stripped away, they could still rely on the gods that had been born in their clans for so many years to be ranked at the peak of Asura City.
Moreover, after so many years of being in control, the resources and influence of Asura City were firmly in the hands of the four great clans. The four patriarchs hadn't expected that Li Yunmu, who had risen from nothing to his current position, would be unable to restrain himself from suppressing the four great clans.
Ashbi looked at the reaction of the four great clan patriarchs, and a profound smile appeared on his round face. This was his current situation. In any case, the fight between the four great clans and Chen Xiu was a good thing for him.
If the four great clans' power was seized during the struggle, they could only rely on him. Thus, his influence could be considered to have stabilized. If Chen Xiu couldn't defeat the four great clans, the power would still remain in their hands.
To avoid attracting the suspicion of god father, the four great clans would hand over half of the power to him.
"Then tell me, how should Asura City be divided?" Ashbi enquired.
"Naturally the middle city will be the boundary. The region near the upper city will be under your jurisdiction. The region near the lower city and the colosseum will be under my jurisdiction, "Li Yunmu said calmly.
Ashbi did not say anything in reply. He lowered his head and took a sip of the tea, putting on an appearance of looking at his nose and looking at his heart. The patriarchs of the four great clans glanced at each other, and Jiao Xiu sighed. "Sixth ancestor's meaning is that the branch family descendants of our four great clans will be driven away from your territory, right?"
"That's a bit too much for me. Regardless of what sixth ancestor says, we are all people of Asura City, so isn't it a bit excessive to drive people away? Or do you have the thought of creating a city of China in your heart? "
Deva Clan's matriarch, who was sitting by Jiao Xiu's side, slowly said. Li Yunmu focused his gaze and saw that Deva Clan's matriarch was wrapped in a pink veil. Only a pair of star-like eyes could be seen on her face.
Deva Clan's matriarch seemed to be in her twenties, and her voice was as pure as a young girl's. If Li Yunmu didn't know that Jasmine was the matriarch's daughter, he would have thought that they were sisters.
Deva Clan's matriarch's voice was as pleasant to hear as an oriole, and she was describing Li Yunmu as a despicable person who wanted to meddle in the affairs of others. Li Yunmu smiled faintly. He didn't want to become the scapegoat.
"I haven't even opened my mouth, and you have already said what I wanted to say. Are you a roundworm in my stomach? Or could it be that you, the dignified matriarch of Deva Clan, don't even understand the difference between seniors and juniors? "
When he said that, Deva Clan's matriarch was startled, and a hint of killing intent appeared in her eyes. She quickly suppressed it and said with a faint smile, "Sixth ancestor's words are correct. I was impulsive, I hope sixth ancestor won't take offense."
Li Yunmu didn't pay any attention to Deva Clan's matriarch. He looked at Jiao Xiu and replied to the previous question.
"Establishing a city of China in Asura City doesn't mean that it is only for convenience. You all also know that it belongs to my elder brother's side. My faction consists of the slum dwellers of lower city. If I and elder brother jointly manage it, and the descendants of the four great clans bully and humiliate the slum dwellers, should we kill them or not?
"Therefore, for the convenience of management, we naturally have to divide the territory. I believe that since the residences of the four great clans are so large, they should be able to arrange a good place for the branch family descendants to live. This is the first point I want to say. I will first say it to elder brother so that my subordinates can carry it out. "
