It was apparent that Jake was making a desperate, all-or-nothing bet to bring the family together and cut off any chance of backing out. The risk was evident-one wrong move could spell disaster.
"Are you out of your mind?" Damien took a step back. "This is just your own opinion, and you can't make decisions for all of us!" Damien was clearly trying to stay on the good side of the Tanner family. The The Turning Tide last thing he wanted was for Xylle to see him as an enemy.
"Dames, why are you so scared?" Jake fired back with frustration. "Why should we keep quiet while the Quill family takes over our docks and billion-dollar contracts? Are we just going to let them do whatever they want?" His passionate outburst ignited a storm of mixed reactions in the room. While many voiced their agreement or outrage, others remained doubtful or sided with Damien, wondering if Emmanuel and Mackenzie could truly make a difference.
"Jake, that's enough!" Damien snapped, directing his anger at Emmanuel. "This guy here couldn't even save the Quillen family from falling apart, and now he's talking about taking down the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce? What a joke. You might as well start begging Ms. Tanner for mercy before-" Before he could get another word out, Emmanuel's expression turned icy. With a nearly imperceptible flick of his wrist, he struck Damien with an invisible force, sending him crashing to the ground. Damien's face turned a The Turning Tide deep red and began to swell from the unseen blow.

The room fell into a frigid silence, the air thick with the weight of his unspoken threat.
Just then, a commotion erupted outside the hall. Moments later, a frantic butler rushed in, his face pale with urgency. "Old Mr. Fletcher! Mr. Fletcher! The Turning Tide Another force from the war realm has shown up. They're threatening us to remove our forces from Starcrest Port immediately, or they'll take action!" 86% The Fletcher family's faces grew dark with fury. Jake slammed his teacup onto the table, his frustration boiling over as he pointed at his fallen brother. "Take a good look! The Quill family won't stop until we're wiped out. Do you really think they'll spare us if we give in? By then, we won't even get a chance to fight back!" Old Mr. Fletcher, with his teeth clenched in anger, commanded the butler,
"Bring in all the bodyguards right away and get them out to deal with this! "Right away, Sir!" The butler hurried off to execute the orders.
Old Mr. Fletcher and the rest of the family left the hall, their faces etched with grim determination. Sage, now ready with his preparations, slipped back into the reception hall, where the Fletcher family was too absorbed in their own crisis to notice him.
