Loshaar Lakir stroked his long white beard, considering Shen's words.
"Very well. Let's see if Aksai can switch sides to Kalingoot before we proceed further. He used to be a rental Spirit farmer of the Lakir clan.
I'm sure he'll listen to me if he understands what's good for him. After all, he has stolen the Lakir clan's resources. It would be a waste to kill him off just like that without making use of him.
I'll have to nip the problem in the bud if he doesn't agree though. As his previous employer and someone who inadvertently helped him become who he is, it is my responsibility to deal with him."
Shen Ji and Kou Lau nodded, relief washing over them. "Thank you, senior. We won't have anything to fear with you around. No matter what he chooses, that bastard Aksai won't be able to cause problems for Kalingoot with you here."
The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.
