As soon as he saw that everyone had arrived, Caesar stood up and slowly walked to the podium in the middle of the venue. He stood on the podium, looked at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, ” “Patriarch, elders, a lot of things have happened to our Versailles family recently. Those shameless merchants actually used the insect disaster in ika plain to raise the price of grain. Fortunately, with everyone’s joint efforts, our family didn’t suffer any major losses. But now, someone dares to challenge the prestige of our Versailles family. This is absolutely not allowed.”
At this point, he paused and looked at the people in the room. He felt as if he was in control of the world. This feeling made him intoxicated. Some people said that power was the best elixir of immortality. This was really true. Caesar felt that when he first stood at this station, his body was full of vitality. He felt that he could live for hundreds of years, that he was still young, and that he could do better.
The people in the room were also discussing in a low voice. They didn’t know what was going on. Caesar looked at everyone and continued, ” &Quot; the Buda family’s Chief Steward, green, has just arrived at the Grand Duke’s residence. He’s here to break off the engagement. Some time ago, there was a beast disaster in the blackdirt wastelands. My Versailles family was afraid that something would happen to the Buda family, so we sent our men of sacrifice to investigate. However, we didn’t expect them to be killed by Grimm. This time, he’s here to break off the engagement. He’s simply treating my Versailles family as nothing. We can’t let such a fanatic person live. &Quot;
Everyone in the meeting room was stunned and looked at Caesar in confusion. Although Caesar’s words were pleasant to hear, all the elders understood what was going on. He was worried about the Buda family. He had obviously sent people to investigate and was ready to take action against the Buda family. It was not a big deal for the Buda family to kill their people. How did it have anything to do with the dignity of the Duke’s Palace?
Only the second and third elders knew that Caesar was determined to make a move on the Buda family. However, they did not understand why Caesar had to make a move on the Buda family. Therefore, the two of them did not say anything and only looked at Caesar in confusion.
Caesar also knew that it was impossible to move these people with his words. Although he had great power in the Versailles family, he couldn’t cover the sky with one hand. There were still the second and third elders by his side.
Caesar continued, ” green is now a peak level eight powerhouse. As you all know, although our Versailles family was engaged to the Buda family, the current status of the Buda family is not worthy of our Versailles family at all. Although they took the initiative to break off the engagement this time, it has something to do with us. But have you all thought about it? If Grimm holds a grudge against us because of this, and he advances to a rank 9 powerhouse one day, what will the consequences be?”
After talking nonsense for a long time, this sentence finally hit the point. At this time, everyone in the room understood what Caesar meant, and at the same time, they had the same thoughts as Caesar.
They all knew that when the Buda family was in trouble, they had also hit them when they were down. They had already formed a huge enmity with the Buda family. If one day, Grimm really became a 9th rank powerhouse, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Versailles family.
“No wonder the great elder wants to deal with the Buda family.” Everyone had the same thought after Caesar told them the reason why he wanted to deal with the Buda family. Ivan was the only one who sat on the patriarch’s seat without saying a word. He knew that it was useless to say anything now.
&Quot; you’re right, great elder, ” the second elder said. &Quot; but Buda is already a peak eighth-grade master. It won’t be easy for us to deal with him. Even if we can kill him, we’ll suffer a great loss. Have you thought about this? ”
Caesar knew that the second elder wouldn’t do as he said so easily, but he was prepared. He nodded and said, ” &Quot; of course I’ve thought about it. So I’ve already prepared the old carriage and I’m going to ask for the help of the God’s consecrator. First, we’ll kill Grimm to avoid any future trouble. Second, we’ll intimidate those unscrupulous merchants and let them know that we, the Versailles family, have the ability to destroy them. &Quot;
The meeting room was silent for a moment, then burst into a burst of loud cheers. As Laura and the others had said, the great nobles had their pride, and their dignity was not allowed to be violated by anyone.
Caesar’s words naturally resonated with the people in the room. The only ones who didn’t say anything were the second elder, the third elder, and Ivan.
The second elder and third elder had been fighting for power with the first elder for a long time. They were not in a good mood when they saw the first elder being so popular. Ivan’s feelings were even more complicated.
He was the head of the Versailles family and the Grand Duke of the Versailles Duchy. However, he didn’t have much say in the elder Council. In fact, he was just sitting there for show. Almost all the elders who came to the meeting knew this, but they still acted respectfully to him. This was what pissed Ivan off the most.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. This was the Versailles clan’s dirty linen, and it was their own business. He couldn’t tell anyone about it, and in front of outsiders, the elders were very respectful. This made others think that he was the Grand Duke of Versailles, who seemed to have boundless glory.
The reason why the Versailles family did not go all out against the Buda family was not without reason. He was good friends with Adam’s father, so he naturally did not want the Buda family to disappear just like that.
However, his power had been greatly reduced when he had helped the Buda family before. He no longer had the ability to help the Buda family. However, it was impossible for him to support the great elder in this situation.
Ivan was a warrior, but he wasn’t cut out for politics. It was also because of this that he was able to become the head of the Versailles family. He wasn’t well-versed in politics, so he was easier to control.
Although the three of them didn’t express their opinions, it didn’t matter anymore. The other elders had already been provoked by the great elder’s words.
Caesar looked at the result with satisfaction and continued, ” “Those who agree with my opinion, please raise your hand.”
More than half of the people in the meeting room raised their hands. The result was already set. Those who didn’t raise their hands were the die-hard supporters of the 2nd and 3rd elders.
Caesar nodded. &Quot; more than 50% of the votes are in favor. It’s passed. &Quot; He turned to Ivan and bowed, ” “Lord patriarch, can I go and invite the God’s consecrator now?”
Ivan looked at Caesar and nodded calmly without saying anything. Caesar saw Ivan nod and didn’t say anything. He bowed to Ivan and said, ” “Meeting dismissed.” Then, he walked out of the conference room.
The elders in the conference room also left one after another. The 2nd and 3rd elders exchanged a glance and sighed impatiently. Then, they also left the conference room.
Although they had snatched a lot of elder seats from Caesar and gained a lot of power, they were still a little weaker than Caesar. If Caesar did a good job this time, his reputation would reach a new height. At that time, they would have no way to fight Caesar.
To be honest, their feelings were very complicated. They hoped that Caesar would win. That way, they would be able to maintain the prestige of the Versailles family and deter those who were up to no good.
However, in their hearts, they also hoped that something would go wrong with Caesar and that the Buda family would resist, causing Caesar’s operation to go bankrupt. This way, Caesar’s reputation would suffer an unprecedented blow, and they would be able to use this opportunity to deal with Caesar.
However, they also knew that this was impossible. In order to succeed this time, Caesar would have to ask for the help of The Guardian God. The Guardian God was a 9th rank expert, synonymous with invincibility. How could a quasi-deity expert fail?
What they didn’t know was that when the Versailles family rang the bell, Zhao Hai had already received the news. He asked ye Wuying and the others to pay attention to the situation in the Versailles family. Ye Wuying and the others were high-level death Warriors. In addition, they were undead creatures, so their ability to hide their auras was much better than before. Moreover, there were no high-level light mages among the consecrators of the Versailles family, so it would be very difficult to find ye Wuying and the others.
Ordinary people might not know what the bell of the Versailles family meant, but ye Wuying knew. He was turned into a high-level undead creature by Zhao Hai, and he still had his memories. The organization that he was in had a certain level of understanding of all the major families on the continent. The Versailles family already had their own Duchy, so they were also under investigation. Thus, they knew what the Versailles family’s summoning Bell represented.
The moment the Versailles family’s summoning Bell rang, ye Wuying immediately reported the situation to Zhao Hai. He even explained what the situation meant.
At this time, Zhao Huo was lying in his bedroom. He was really afraid that after he went out, Merlin would tell him about the engagement again. Zhao Hai immediately stood up and walked out when he received the news.
Grimm was sitting in the living room, looking at the screen. He had to pay attention to the situation in his room at all times. If others found out that he had entered his room and disappeared, it would be troublesome.
Zhao Hai saw that green was still in the living room and immediately said, ” “Grandpa Green, there might be some changes at the Versailles family’s side. They just rang the emergency summoning Bell.”
Green knew a little about the emergency summoning Bell. When he heard Zhao Hai’s words, his expression changed and he said,”Really? Did ye Wuying and the others send the news back?”
Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; yes, it was ye Wuying. He knows a little about the Versailles family. So, when the emergency bell rang, he immediately reported to me. &Quot;
Grimm stood up and said with a deep frown, ” “Why did they ring the emergency summoning Bell? We’ve come to break off the engagement, which is exactly what they want. They shouldn’t be targeting us, right?”
