In the end, several dozen direct descendants of the Qin Family, including a group led by Qin Yu, chose to stay behind. They felt that Qin Li was merely fearmongering. Profound Island hadn't just appeared yesterday; it had existed for tens of thousands of years, since Ancient Times, and never once had it been invaded by outsiders. Thus, they didn't believe the Qin Family would truly be annihilated by remaining here. 'Even if outsiders do invade, what does that have to do with us? They can't possibly kill everyone, can they?'
The Qin Family currently owned numerous businesses and properties. Even though Qin Suo was taking a vast amount of resources with him, the family's fixed assets on Profound Island still amounted to an astonishing figure.
Moreover, those who stayed behind harbored an even greater ambition: the singular Qin Family would now be split in two! That meant there would naturally be a vacant Patriarch position.
