No matter how he wailed, it was useless; the whole Qiao Family could hear his heart-wrenching screams.
It left the Qiao Family's Elders Council staring at each other in dismay.
Third Elder Qiao's face was unsightly as he turned his head to look at the Great Elder, "Big brother, this matter..."
"We've been outplayed," Great Elder Qiao squinted his eyes and snorted coldly, "He was careless in his actions, leaving loopholes for others to exploit. He's no longer fit to be the patriarch."
That's how it was with Ancient Martial Arts Families of medium size and above.
The patriarch was just a representative of a clan to the outside world, replaceable at will.
