"You mark my words, you'll regret this!" the man roared. He hadn't expected Lin Xuan to refuse so bluntly. The previous offer had just been a jest, not a sincere invitation.
Lin Xuan didn't reply. He wouldn't waste even half a word on such a person; anything more was just a waste of breath. Joining the Yan Family was out of the question. For one, they were his sworn enemies. Furthermore, he would be branded a traitor, a reputation he refused to bear. Besides, who knew if the Yan Family was even sincere? If it was a trap, he'd only end up burning bridges with both sides.
A man must strive to climb higher, but timing is everything. He'd rather join the Chen Family than the Yan Family. But he wouldn't just jump ship randomly. That was an easy way to corner oneself. After all, if he was willing to leave one family, it implied he'd do the same to the next if a stronger one appeared.
