My Waste Husband

Chapter 559

Everywhere in China, before discussing big deals, people had to eat first. This had been passed down since ancient times, and it was no exception among the clans.

It appeared that it's just a table of delicious food, but in fact, it contained some secrets flavour.

Henry had a good knowledge of Chinese medicine and was very familiar with many rare plants. Many rare herbs had been added to the delicacies on the table. These herbs could only be found in the mountains and were rare in the outside world. Henry had not seen much of these rare herbs on the way. It could be seen that the Tang Clan treated him very solemnly this time.

The patriarch of the Tang Clan, Uriah and Teresa and those middle-aged people were sitting at this table.

These middle-aged men had a very high status in the Tang family Citadel. In the Tang family Citadel, after the three patriarchs, these middle-aged men were ranked the highest.

Ferdinand Tang, the Master of the Tang Clan, was one of them.

Each of the members of the Tang Clan had a clear division of labour. The Patriarch's management was slightly complicated, and the patriarch would decide on any significant matter of the Tang Clan.

The Second Patriarch was in charge of the distribution and refining of the Tang Sect's poison. The poison was absolutely the most important thing for the Tang Sect.

The Third Patriarch was in charge of the creation and production of hidden weapons. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Apart from Ferdinand, the rest of the middle-aged men and women sitting on the table were in charge of the Tang Clan's guards, training the young, assigning the tasks, organizing attacks, and so on.

Such a large clan could only rely on self-sufficiency, which was not enough. Sometimes, there were tasks to be assigned.

Uriah had told Henry that the government would cooperate with the clan on some important overseas missions. During those crucial tasks, there were always some clansmen accompanying the officials.

Now, it could be said that the most important roles of the Tang Clan were gathered on this table. Logically speaking, Uriah and Teresa were not qualified to sit here, but because they brought Henry here, they were able to sit on the table. If this cooperation were successful, their status in the Tang Clan would also be raised.

"Young man, please start eating." The patriarch of the Tang Clan chuckled.

"Please." Henry said politely. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up the nearest dish in front of him. He put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly. An indescribable fragrance spread out in Henry's mouth. Henry couldn't help praising, "This dish tastes delicious. It's really well-prepared."

"Ha, ha, ha." A hoarse voice sounded from the side, and a slim older woman came from the side. Her hair started getting grey, and her voice sounded very uncomfortable. "This dish was made by me. I didn't expect that you would praise me so much. I am really flattered."

When the old woman came over, Uriah introduced her to Henry, "Brother Zhang, this is our Second Patriarch. She tried poison in her early years, and her throat was damaged."

Henry stood up and greeted the older woman with a fist-palm salute.

"You're welcome, Young man. This time, you're here to save our Tang Clan. You're our benefactor." The old woman sat down on the table and said, "Let's eat."

Henry looked at the dishes on the table. Uriah had just told him on his way here that the second Patriarch of the Tang Clan was in charge of the poison test and production of the Tang Sect's poison. So many delicacies were actually made by a poison master. If it were someone else, they would definitely not dare to eat too much, but Henry was obviously not one of them.

After learning that these dishes were made by the Second Patriarch of the Tang Clan, Henry still swallowed and tasted carefully. He was not afraid at all, which made the patriarch's evaluation of Henry increase a little.

Henry asked curiously, "May I ask where the Third Patriarch is?"

"Ha, ha." The patriarch chuckled. "My younger brother is devoted to the development of the mechanism. He is still busy with his designs and drawings. I hope you can forgive him for not coming here."

"Patriarch, don't say that." Henry cupped his hands and said, "It's my honour to have so many predecessors to welcome me today."

The dinner continued. A middle-aged man in a red robe looked at Henry and said, "Henry, right? I'm curious, how did your Zhang Clan decline?"

As soon as the man in the red robe finished his words, the patriarch's face changed. In the clan, it was a big taboo to ask the reason why one clan had declined!

The patriarch shouted at that man and gestured him to stop talking. But he seemed not to see it and kept staring at Henry, waiting for Henry's answer.

Henry smiled slightly and said, "The number of people declined. As time passed by, there was only me."

"Oh?" The man was surprised. "From your way of doing things, I thought your clan was killed by the enemy. After all, according to your experience, what you have done is a bit arrogant. If your father was like this, it's normal that your clan had declined."

Henry shook his head. "Everyone has a sense of awe in their hearts. If a person doesn't have the sense of awe, for sure, they will think that everyone is arrogant.”

Obviously, the man in red was provoking Henry, but Henry replied calmly.

From the Tang Clan's perspective, Henry was a young man.

In the underground world, Henry was respected by countless senior masters. He was known as the Conqueror and had taken part in many events. Henry came here as a junior, and he was respecting traditional Chinese etiquette. In terms of age, Henry was indeed a junior for the Tang Clan. But in terms of personal strength and status, Henry did not think that these people were qualified to educate him.

In this world, the strength was the most important, especially among the clans! Although the Tang Clan was a clan with a lot of strength, the Conqueror was not weak either, and the Holy Place, the Radiant Island, was not just some random place!

When the man in red heard Henry's words, his face suddenly changed, and he was full of anger. "Junior, you are too arrogant when you speak."

Henry shrugged his shoulders, picked up a piece of vegetable and put it into his mouth. He said slowly, "Confidence and arrogance are two different things. If you say I'm confident, I can accept it. I don't think what I said in front of you was arrogant!"

"Young man, you!" The man in red reached out his hand and slammed the table. He was about to say something.

"Enough!" The patriarch said impatiently and glared at the man in red. "There are rules at the dinner table!"

The man in red didn't dare to ignore the patriarch's words this time, so he quickly agreed. He glared at Henry with hatred and didn't say anything.

Henry's expression did not change. Before he came here, he had thought that this trip would not be smooth, and he expected that he would get into some trouble. Whatever these people from the Tang Clan did, he would be able to deal with it!
