The temptation behind gentleness

Chapter 1342: The Gathering of Elders

Su Fan is already enjoying life; as the victor, it is his due.

But the life-or-death struggle between him and Hashimoto Otsuka continues to have repercussions even now.

As Su Fan's allies and relatives, seeing him so formidable naturally brings joy to their faces.

There's an old Eastern proverb: when one person achieves the Dao, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

As long as Su Fan is strong enough, those around him can soar alongside him.

Even those who come for various reasons to ride on his coattails can also rise with the tide.

His immense strength and other significant advantages naturally draw more and more people showing keen interest in him.

Some want to collaborate with him in martial arts.

Others wish to work with him in medicine.

And some purely want to befriend this rising star.

Of course, the days have been tough for those who once opposed him.

A few high-ranking members of the Kawabata family in the Orient have even found it hard to eat or sleep.

The Engli Palieya Castle Academy, the Sanctuary organization of the European Union, the Esoteric sect in the West, and a few others.

All these have been shrouded in gloom, sullen and unhappy.

If they are even slightly careless, Su Fan would become a force to be reckoned with, a dragon posing a colossal threat to them.

In the Orient, the Kawabata family, the Elite Council.

The so-called Elite Council is the highest-level meeting of the Kawabata family.

Only those with high moral standing and formidable strength among the family elders can participate.

Even the current Family Head of the Kawabata family does not qualify to attend.

In the meeting room, there are only five people.

These five were once Family Heads, Vice Family Heads, or served as Chief Elders of the Kawabata family.

Their strength is immensely formidable: three are Great Grandmasters, two are at the peak of Martial Arts Grandmaster Great Perfection.

Usually, they remain in seclusion, striving for higher martial arts realms.

But Su Fan's existence poses an enormous threat to the Kawabata family.

Hence, they cannot let Su Fan continue.

At the forefront, an elderly man in a Sword Dao outfit speaks with a calm but deliberate tone:

"This Su Fan has now become a force; he needs to be eliminated quickly."

His name is Kawabata Renquan, the leader of the Kawabata family's Elite Council.

Others only know him as a Great Grandmaster, but how powerful he truly is, no one knows.

After Kawabata Renquan finished speaking, an elder below speaks up: "Which one of us five will make the trip?"

It's evident that others in the Kawabata family are no longer a match for Su Fan.

Sending them would be sending them to their deaths.

After this person finished speaking, another person, however, says: "Should we wait to see other forces' reactions?"

Su Fan has quite a few enemies worldwide, who surely want his life as much as they do.

In that case, perhaps they don't need to take action themselves.

This elder had just finished speaking when Kawabata Renquan opposed it.

"We can't pin our hopes on others. If others don't act either, and Su Fan grows for a bit longer."

"By then, the Kawabata family will vanish like other families lost to the currents of history."

The Kawabata family has grown to this day for three reasons.

The first reason is their inherent strength.

The second reason is that every Kawabata generation excels at making friends.

The third reason is they will spare no cost to eliminate their enemies!

Looking across many declining families, their decline results from failing these three things.

Thus, even powerful hidden families may face risks of losing their legacy when passed to certain generations.

After Kawabata Renquan finished speaking this time, an elder slowly stood up.
