After Pablo brought Timothy back and settled him down, he went to the elder to go through the process. After all, he was the one who brought the person over from the outside. Timothy's identity had not been confirmed yet. If something should happen, he was the one to shoulder the responsibility.
When he came out of the meeting, he found that it was raining outside. He brought the eagle with him and rushed to Kason's courtyard and asked the guards to bring the medical doctor.
Every time it rained, Vincent's legs would give him unbearable pain. The medical doctor could only use acupuncture to ease the pain. After all, all the anesthetics had side effects on nerves.
However, when he pushed open the door, his heart wrenched at what he saw.
Beside the pool, stood a wheelchair alone. The man in a white robe was curled up on the ground in pain and was drenched in rain...
"Vincent!" Pablo rushed over to help him up, and then shouted to the medical doctor behind him, "Come quickly!"
Clark and Tyson were woken up by the shouting and immediately rushed out, only to find Kason lying on the ground in pain. They were stunned and did not even dare to look at Pablo's face. And then they began to busily tended Kason with their heads low, boiling water and cleaning his body. After they changed Kason's clothes, they were shut outside. They exchanged a panic look.
They were over!
Although they were the elders' servants, they were only servants after all. If they did not take good care of their master, then the elder would lose his face. Maybe the elder would throw them into the dungeon directly to make amend.
It didn't take long before Pablo came out. The attendant following quickly held up an umbrella for him. However, Pablo didn't even look at the two people at the door. It was until he reached the door that he turned and said coldly, "Follow up!"
Clark and Tyson could hardly walk. They instantly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Patriarch, forgive me! Please forgive me!"
Pablo, on the other hand, was unwilling to listen to a word of their defense. He flung his robe and walked in front. Clark and Tyson looked at each other, and finally followed up trembling. The rain drenched the two of them thoroughly.
Only then did they think about that how long had Kason been lying in the rain painfully while they were sleeping soundly in the room? Every time it rained, Kason's legs would hurt. How could they fall asleep at that time?
Clark and Tyson's faces turned even paler. They only hoped that the Second Elder could spare their lives.
In the meeting hall.
After the elders and the High Priest listened to Pablo's words, they exchanged glances. The bodyguards seriously injured in the car accident were now under their control.
The High Priest's bodyguard was still hanging by his arm and could not go out on a rainy day, so he did not bring him out. The First Elder's bodyguard was lame and could not even taken care of himself in raining days. He now seldom came out. The Second Elder had never brought his bodyguard out, and claimed that he now used the bodyguard as an accountant, which job he was capable of. The Third Elder and the Fourth Elder didn't bring their bodyguard along either. It was said that the burn on their arms was so serious that they were still under treatment. It was impossible for them to come out in raining days because the water may infect the wounds.
"You suddenly want to take her back. What if...?" The First Elder said disapprovingly, "What if he recovers his memory? I heard that he had almost killed all the side-branches of the Scavos to secure his position as the patriarch."
"That's also what I'm worried about."
"We saved them only because they have lost their memory. If these servants stir up trouble and make you and your brothers become enemies, then there will be another bloody battle. What do you think we should do?"
"That's right, Pablo. It's not easy for you to get this position. What if you become enemies?"
"If he wants the position, I'll give it to him. This is what our entire tribe owes him." Pablo's face turned sullen, "But now he is still recuperating, and the servants dare to treat him like this. Rumors may spread that they do that as you command."
Hearing this, all the elders' faces turned sullen.
When Kason was brought back, he was seriously injured, and the medical doctor said he might never walk again. Everyone thought that he could not be a threat any more, therefore, they acquiesced in his identity.
The mission of the elders and the High Priest was to protect the patriarch and guard the tribe. If Kason was not the son of the previous patriarch, plus the serious injuries and ailments, the second elder even had proposed to use snake venom to kill him. They wanted to enhance Pablo's position.
Of course, whether or not there are any other intentions, no one knew. At least on the surface, everyone had watched Pablo grow up, and didn't want him to be replaced by a stranger. Moreover, if something should happen to Pablo, no matter how outstanding Vincent was, they would not choose a disabled to be their leader. Then, the only possible successor was Baron...
While they were silent, they heard Baron coming in, bringing the masked man. When they arrived, he first bowed to Pablo and then to the elders and before he found a chair to sit down.
"What's wrong? I heard that you have sent a medical doctor to Vincent? Do his legs hurt again? Is it serious?" He put on a worried expression on his face, but there was a smile in the depths of his eyes.
Pablo did not speak, but the other elders repeated his words for him.
Baron was playing with his fingers, and casually said to the servant behind, "Hey, the patriarch asks you to be Vincent's servant. What do you say? If you agree, go over."
He said it faintly, but Pablo could sense the anger and hatred in his words.
The masked man knelt on the ground said, "No."
Baron smiled triumphantly, "He said no."
The elders discussed for a while, and then the First Elder spoke, "Our bodyguards are still sick and could not take the task. Only the Second Elder's bodyguard can take care of people. He has basically recovered except the burn on his face."
"Only one?" Pablo asked with a frown.
"If you lack servants, why don't you use maids?" Baron interrupted, "If the servants failed in their duty, then replaced them. It is not a big deal."
Everyone now remembered that Pablo had brought a female attendant before. The First Elder thought for a moment and said, "Then should we send one of the maids to Pablo?"
Pablo thought of the woman and frowned. The woman came from unknown background and was unsuitable to take care of Vincent. However, he had no other choice. He nodded, "Okay, I will arrange it later." He looked at the Second Elder, "Do you agree?"
The Second Elder was reluctant. After all, she was now a good accountant. Other servants only had physical strength, and now they had either broken arms or crippled legs. The only good one had been picked by him, but Pablo wanted to take her back. He was also worried that this was a trap set up by Kason and Pablo, but after a second thought, he felt that it was not possible. Pablo grew up under their eyes and could not play those tricks. Kason was capable to do that, but he had lost his memory. The medical doctor also said that in rainy days, his legs would feel hurt.
From the looks of it now, it was only those two servants who were too lazy to serve their master well that Pablo had caught hold of them. After all, the two of them were personally selected by the second elder to be sent over. Thus, in this aspect, the second elder had nothing to refute. After listening to their discussion, he sent the assistant he had left behind to Young Master Kason. He did not have any objections. He only frowned and said, "Alright."
The matter was settled.
After Pablo left, others also dispersed. The Second Elder walked to the door and saw the trembling Clark and Tyson in the rain. He frowned and said to the servant beside him, "Take them away."
"Yes!"
Clark and Tyson understood that they were given up, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Second Elder! Save us! We won't do it again!"
The Second Elder, however, stared at the eagle hovering in the rain, and his murky eyes showed mixed feelings.
Over the years, Pablo had got more and more out of their control.
If it wasn't for the High Priest and the elders who had risked their lives to help him ascend to the position of patriarch ... The second elder looked back at Baron beside him. Baron was tall and sturdy, and the bloody smell of the battlefield made him arrogant.
He was the most qualified successor.
Baron seemed to have seen through the Second Elder's thoughts. He smiled at him, revealing a row of sharp teeth. "The hunt is about to arrive. Elder, you have to prepare well."
The Second Elder's heart skipped a beat. He turned to look at Baron, but only saw that he strode into the rain, and let out a howl.
The wolves began to howl, as if they were about to besiege the eagle of Pablo's in the sky.
