Chapter 1575

• Joseph Lee composed himself and said, "My brother can be impulsive at times, but he did not truly intend to start a war with Promise Island. He simply wanted Hector Gedding to give him a child, which is why he resorted to kidnapping your son as a threat. You witnessed it yourself, if it were not for the rebellion of the Cloud Glory Sect, the situation would not have escalated to this uncontrollable extent. I understand that the harm inflicted upon you cannot be easily rectified, but my brother is no longer alive, and you have already taken the lives of many of my comrades in the city. It is almost enough. As the saying goes, it is better to resolve conflicts than to create new ones. How about this, I am willing to relinquish all the operations of my Double Dragon Court under Mastar as compensation, and moving forward, we can maintain a distance between us."
• Eugene Nolan remained silent, gazing at him intently. "Do you think I am easily placated?"
• Jonathan Lee interjected, "Eugene Nolan, up to this point, we have no direct grievances. While my brother may be deceased, I will hold the Cloud Glory Sect accountable. You have taken the lives of my comrades in the city, and I view it as retribution for my brother's actions. However, if you were to eliminate me, you may find it difficult to rest peacefully for many days to come. You are aware that my Double Dragon Court possesses numerous assassins. Can you defend yourself for even a moment, let alone a lifetime? Can you, your beloved, and your child? I never desired to be your adversary from the beginning, otherwise I would not have come here today to offer my assistance."
