Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 2977: 2977: Do They Have Any Other Identity?

Admitting defeat isn't out of the question, but the crucial part is finding someone to make amends with.

The troublesome daughters who stirred up chaos have already escaped, and earlier, even when he offered several other daughters to the two powerful clans as reparation, they turned him down flat.

At this point, he has no option except to proceed cautiously, step by step!

“That pair, utterly contemptible!”

This thought brought back memories of the duo who approached him the day before, eager to purchase property.

Had they only brought up the City Lord Residence, the Le Family wouldn't be facing such dire straits. The leading family and the Second Family Clan are dead set on bringing the Le Family to ruin!

“Old Jing, in your view, what should the Family Head do next?” he inquired gravely, spotting the newcomer.

Old Jing pressed his lips together; he'd already gotten the details from Steward Zhao and dispatched scouts for more intel. That pair remains lodged at the City Lord Residence; they arrived alongside Hong Tianxu.

“Family Head, acting on impulse right now isn't wise; the priority must be sorting out these messes first,” he advised.

At those words, the Head of the Le Family nearly exploded in frustration.

Does he not desire to fix these issues? The trouble is, these predicaments aren't resolved merely by wishing them away. With the two dominant clans refusing to back off, what options does he really have?

“The Family Head understands that the troubles need addressing, but do you have a plan?”

“The Family Head ought to begin with that pair.”

As a key advisor in the Le Family, Old Jing was the one most relied upon and confided in by the Head of the Le Family above all others—naturally, this position demanded certain talents.

For example, by now, he'd compiled a fair amount of data.

“I dispatched an agent to investigate. That pair was escorted here by Hong Tianxu. At first, they appeared as mere acquaintances of his, unworthy of City Lord Bai's notice, but oddly enough, upon their arrival, City Lord Bai threw a feast to welcome them.

And this morning, Young City Lord Bai carved out special time to join them. This level of attention from the City Lord Residence isn't typical for just any associate of Hong Tianxu.”

“Hm?”

The Head of the Le Family sharpened his keen, predatory gaze.

Does that pair possess some hidden background?

Still, people from the lower planes, regardless of their prominence, shouldn't prompt such gestures from City Lord Bai, even as companions of his nephew.

“If my memory serves, wasn't Young City Lord Bai occupied handling the demonic beasts' chaos in the Cloud-Touching Forest? How did he return so soon?”

He hadn't dwelled on this before. But now, reflecting on it, Young City Lord Bai making room amid his hectic duties to host Hong Tianxu's visitors struck him as peculiar.

In earlier times, Hong Tianxu had introduced friends to White Lion City on multiple occasions, yet neither City Lord Bai nor Young City Lord Bai ever showed up.

They merely directed Hong Tianxu briefly to treat his companions properly.

“Phew!”

He let out a deep, burdened breath.

“You're correct; targeting that pair first is surely the smart approach.”

Even without prestigious standing, their riches are immense. Should he manage to gain their favor, the two major clans couldn't rival their monetary power.

It looks like maintaining pretenses is no longer feasible for him.

“Go and discover when that pair will settle into their new home. Once they do, I'll head over personally with a present to offer my congratulations.”

And then forge a bond; no matter the method, he has to build that link.
