(MC POV)
If I had a word to describe that Gou Patriarch, I would definitely call him rabid right now, especially with how he's growling and hunched over.
The Miao Patriarch snorted at him, "Why should I agree to something so beneath me? You're not even worth my time, Patriarch Gou."
"So you think my family isn't even worth being considered amongst the ranks of the Divine Families anymore?! Is that it?!"
He turned his back on the rabid patriarch, "You're free to interpret that however you wish, but I'm not here to entertain you."
"I see now! Since my family is already marked like this, then there's no need for fake pleasantries anymore, is there?!"
The Gou patriarch raised his hand and everyone from his family stood up from their seats and drew their weapons in unison.
Looks like he had already anticipated something like this happening and everyone was prepared.
Maybe exterminatus really is the way to go?
