The Committee’s support at this time did stabilize many people’s hearts.
Although those who truly knew the situation might not believe it, they couldn’t find any more information through their inquiries, save for one piece of news.
That news was that His Highness Finn Lewis had committed a murder right in the Council Hall of the Committee, and he did it with swift decisiveness.
In the end, the Committee took no action against His Highness Finn Lewis, which undoubtedly indicated a lot about their attitude.
Therefore, those who were privy to some inside information didn’t dare to make careless inquiries anymore. 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
Even in a place like the Committee, where someone had been blatantly killed, what were they in comparison?
...
Moreover, the events that unfolded soon after at the Star Harbor in the Capital Star region were slowly leaking out, but only within a very small circle.
The news was that Suleiman Cooper, the heir to the Rochefort Clan, one of the nine great families of the royal family, had died.
He was killed by His Highness Finn Lewis with the main cannon, shattering his vehicle simply because Cooper refused to surrender when asked by Lewis.
If a direct heir of the Rochefort Clan, one of the nine great royal surnames, could be eliminated in that manner, what about others?
They were even more reluctant to make any rash moves.
Most of the fleet naturally could not remain there.
Finn Lewis had already returned with the majority of the fleet to the rendezvous point.
When Finn Lewis came back, Ethan Wren, who had followed behind him, naturally stayed behind in the Capital Star region.
Upon Lewis’s departure, Ethan Wren’s face was filled with a bitter smile.
Lewis had made it very clear when he arrived how things were to be handled—everything was to be dealt with in Lewis’s way.
The problem was, Ethan Wren suddenly realized he didn’t have the confidence for it.
It was not something just anyone could do.
Although he had been the chief of the Wren Family for so many years, to emulate Lewis’s domineering approach seemed quite difficult to him.
Because he lacked confidence in himself—it was not something just anyone could do.
Only when you have enough confidence in your hands can you perform such deeds.
Although Ethan Wren had also been a chieftain of a royal clan, he never felt confident when facing the nine great royal surnames, let alone now, almost confronting the federation’s entire highest Committee and the direct heirs of various clans.
Handling matters in the manner that Lewis did, he truly couldn’t bring himself to do it.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t bring himself to do it—this decisiveness and willingness to kill he certainly possessed.
However…
not everyone dares to lay hands on the nine great royal surnames, and to do so without the slightest hesitation, even though it was clear what Lewis was doing.
After directly attacking with warships and not caring about killing a direct heir, he still couldn’t psychologically adapt to that mindset in the blink of an eye; therefore, Ethan Wren was left with nothing but a bitter smile.
Having lived a lifetime, witnessed so much over so many years, it was challenging to face such trials in his old age.
“Oswald, how much do you understand?” Ethan Wren asked the young man in front of him with a sigh.
He was the next chieftain and the direct heir of the Wren Clan.
The Wren Clan had few direct heirs, but if Oswald Wren were to take over someday, though troubles were not absent, Ethan Wren could still live for a few more years, ensuring that by the time of his death, Oswald Wren would already be a qualified clan chieftain.
