Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 668 - 154. Slapping the Council Member’s Face (8500 words, asking for monthly votes!)_2

On hearing Fang Ze's words, the Tiger King sharply sensed something wrong. He coughed and said, "Councilor Si...."

His words had just begun when Fang Ze interrupted, "Guard Hu, don't call me by my title; it's too formal. I prefer when you call me Young Master."

The Tiger King:.....

The Tiger King hadn't anticipated that the address he used to subtly assert dominance would now be exploited by Fang Ze.

Moreover, since he was the one who initiated the term, and now Fang Ze demanded its continuation, it would be inappropriate to refuse directly. After all, forcefully changing the term so soon would be humiliating if word got out. Hence, after hesitating for a moment, he ultimately accepted with reluctance.

Of course, it was only a verbal acceptance; he wouldn't genuinely regard Fang Ze as his master, nor could he offer any real benefits.

With that thought, the Tiger King coughed and then reluctantly said, "Youn... Young Master, indeed, the Hu Family ought to contribute a share to the Si Family's rebuilding."

At saying this, he quickly added without pausing, "However! The Hu Family now has many clan members to feed, to train in martial arts, to cultivate. Various resources are saved through frugality. The manor is also just one place and is needed for the clan members' training."

Fang Ze glanced at the massive jade tiger sculpture in the front courtyard, reminisced about the security bureau's records of Hu Family's seven or eight estates, and nodded, "Understood. Your situation indeed isn't easy."

The Tiger King breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But before he could fully exhale, Fang Ze continued, "However, the Si Family is truly struggling now. Since you lack resources, how about... lending me a few dozen clan members to use?"

"My family rebuilding receives many resources from the Federation, but lacks trustworthy people. And you have clan members yet lack resources for cultivation."

"In this way, wouldn't our two families complement each other perfectly?"

The Tiger King was momentarily stunned by Fang Ze's abrupt proposal.

Over the past ten years, he had encountered people borrowing money, land, and subordinates, but it was his first time encountering someone borrowing clan members.

Hence, his initial instinct was to refuse.

Yet he hesitated when the words reached his lips.

Because he suddenly thought... borrowing clan members might be doable!

Subordinates couldn't be lent out since after training by others, they might become their subordinates. But lending clan members was different. The Awakened Clan's strength is sustained by bloodline; bloodline signifies power, and only the family holds the most correct and comprehensive power inheritance. They fundamentally couldn't abandon the family.

Moreover, the clan members' parents and families still remained in the clan, he wasn't afraid of them defecting.

Therefore, Fang Ze's training would ultimately benefit himself.

Additionally, having his clan members serve as Fang Ze's guards would allow him to better understand Fang Ze's movements.

Thinking this, the Tiger King hesitated briefly but then burst into a hearty laugh, saying, "If the Young Master needs it, the Hu Family certainly won't refuse! Then I'll..."

His words had only half proceeded when Fang Ze interrupted by raising his head, "Really won't refuse? Then how about merging your Hu Family directly into our Si Family?"

"Make your daughter my concubine, and our children will inherit your Hu Family headship. Let our families forge a strong alliance. As long as the Si Family exists, your Hu Family will prosper eternally."

"Cough cough cough." Hu Shan nearly choked on his own saliva.

He realized Fang Ze truly dared to take an inch with every opportunity given! Grab the pole and climb indefinitely!

He mustn't engage with Fang Ze's proposition!

Thinking this, Hu Shan pretended not to hear and continued, "Then I'll lend you 30 clan members for your personal guard, Young Master. I hope you won't mind."
