Needless to say, Ves did not like the Territory Faction.
The Saint General and his stances on many matters contradicted or shifted the original direction of the Larkinson Clan.
Ark always held very different ideas on what the Larkinsons should be doing instead.
Now, he finally had a serious chance to occupy the highest seat and wield all of the power and privileges that come with it. This was a legitimate route for him to reshape the Larkinson Clan into what the original Larkinson Family should have been.
As one of the stalwarts of the old family, Ark had always felt pained that it had disappeared.
While the Larkinson Clan could be considered its successor, in reality it had turned into an entirely different beast.
The two did not have all that much in common besides the name and a few other aspects.
Ves deliberately made the two as different as possible. He did not want the Larkinson Clan to make the same mistakes as the old family and end up falling short.
