Spring is not spring for everyone.
The Evans Clan couldn't feel the slightest hint of spring approaching.
They were still living in a cold winter, even colder than winter itself.
Because the clan was doomed.
With George's death.
The clan no longer had any substantial genuine armed force, and thus lost all competitiveness.
Decline was only a matter of time.
Not to mention, before George died, he offended the current underground king of Wenster, the Bolita Clan.
Some of the higher-ups in the Evans Clan were purely creatures of interest, having already made choices before George's death, quietly siding with the Bolita Clan.
While some at least had some persistence and empathy, at least helping to organize George's funeral before planning to change allegiance.
But the funeral had to end someday.
The day the funeral ended was the day the Evans Clan fell apart.
George actually had three sons.
But none of them were promising.
