Family Divided (3)

Arnold just stood there in disbelief. Not because Nathaniel offered him the head's position, but because he had failed to understand what Arnold was trying to say to him.

"I don't think you understand what I'm saying, sir." Arnold respectfully replied without any hesitation, "First I was part of the flying swords. I got into mess and, next, I got invited to your family, which I'm grateful for. It changed my life in ways I never thought were possible. But now I think it's time for me to be alone. I mean no disrespect but frankly, I've had enough of the family as well as the syndicate and their senseless rules. Someone like me is better off in the Eastern part of the country than here. That's why I don't think I can work with them anymore. Also, I don't think I can trust the other families after the stunt Andrex pulled off."
