Jacqueline had a tough time conversing with Lith. Everything was going against her and nothing seemed to be going right so far.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down and reason with these people. No matter what, at the end of the day, the Evure God Clan was her family and her home. She couldn't outright plan their destruction.
Jacqueline thought about things and asked, "Can you tell with whom exactly you have an enmity with? Surely it can't be everyone, right? Since there's a lot of members who were born in the recent few centuries. They are innocent and haven't had any conflict with anyone. They don't deserve to die, do they?"
"Yes." Lith sipped tea and said calmly. "They surely don't."
"However, if their parents have done something bad, they would have to bear the karma and pay for it."
Jacqueline frowned again. "But there's many good people in the clan. Why would you want to kill them?"
"You tell me, Miss Jacqueline..." Lith leaned forwards and put his teacup down.
"If my clan had harmed any of your clan's members, would you have left me alone?"
"Well..." Jacqueline didn't want to answer that, because she knew where this conversation was heading.
She held her head and sighed. Many calculations went through her head.
Even though Jacqueline's pride as a Evure was sky high, she had to take a step back in this conversation and think of things clearly.
Lith was not to be trifled with, and the lady who seemed similar like him before, she was definitely really dangerous. She gave off a scarier aura than one of the Three Greats, Isa herself!
While she was contemplating, Lith knew this conversation would head to nowhere if they kept talking. Thus, to cut her some slack, he decided to drop a bombshell onto her.
"Do you know what my name is, Miss Jacqueline?"
Jacqueline looked up at him and shook her head. "No."
"Yours is Jacqueline Evure, isn't it?"
"Yes."
Lith nodded. The ladies around the table raised their eyebrows in surprise as the conversation got even more serious than before.
Sylvia stopped petting Zen, Fanny stopped eating cake, and even Fei stopped sipping on tea.
Lith crossed his legs as he reclined back on the chair and answered in a neutral tone, "I am Lith. Lith Evure."
"..." Jacqueline frowned.
Jacqueline frowned hard this time.
Thought Jacqueline.
If his grandmother was killed by the members of the clan, then it was understandable why he was so aggrieved and wanted all of them dead.
If someone did something to Jacqueline's parents, she too would have such an adverse reaction and think of killing everyone off.
Jacqueline massaged her temples and said, "I more or less understand what you're going through. And to be honest... you should've said so from the beginning that you're a Evure. It would've solved so much trouble."
Lith didn't respond.
Jacqueline went on. "And this also means that the lady I met before... the one who looks so similar to you... she's also a Evure?"
Lith didn't know whom she was referring to.
"She's referring to Her Majesty..." Fei whispered from the side.
"Yes." Lith answered her.
"Okay. Good. Good." Jacqueline nodded her head. "Since you're a Evure, it means you're not an outsider. Okay, I am at peace then. I don't really mind whatever you do to the clan."
Lith and the rest of the ladies looked at Jacqueline with a weirded out expression.
Jacqueline shrugged. "No, really. If it was some outsider, I wouldn't have taken it lightly. But it's not an outsider. His conflict could be taken as an internal conflict of the clan. Whether the clan is destroyed by the internal conflict or continues to stand tall... it's none of my business."
"Hm?" Lith raised an eyebrow. "Even if someone related to you is killed, you won't be unhappy?"
"No." Jacqueline shook her head. "If they've harmed your family, then you have all the right to try harming them. They're not little kids who need my protection. If they can't protect themselves from you, then they did deserve to die. I'll definitely be sad, but will forget about it eventually because they died in an internal conflict."
The ladies and Lith couldn't believe what they were hearing.
It all felt so unbelievable. And this girl... she truly did have a screw loose in her head.
"So, whose side are you on now?"
"Nobody's." Jacqueline reclined back on the chair and said with a sigh. "You guys figure out what you want to do. I'll be a spectator and not interfere in this."
"Oh well... then so be it." Lith shrugged.
"Don't cry if you find everyone dead."
"I won't, don't worry."
"Alright then..."
