The important people in the Family were pouring into the hall one after another. Even the Elders had begun to arrive. There was a strange atmosphere in the hall, and no one dared to speak out a word.
And, whenever one entered the hall, their body would freeze for a second. After all, the sight in front of them was enough to make them dumbfounded.
The First Elder had actually taken the Patriarch's seat.
Most people gulped nervously at the sight of it.
It was clear now, something was going to go down.
Everybody was nervous.
Most of the Elder's face had turned a bit ugly.
It was one thing if the First Elder had contacted them, and planned it all out. But, seizing the spot like that, it was going to cause a lot of trouble.
Max and Naze were mixed in the crowd as well.
In such a tensed environment, no one was paying attention whether someone had a disguise on or not.
Soon, everyone was gathered in the hall, except the Patriarch.
"Umn..is there any matter?" One of the Elder's finally spoke. But, his words really made people's faces to sink.
Of course there was a matter here.
"Why is Ruphord not here yet?" Old man Sun asked in a calm voice, and people felt a chill rising up their spine.
Ruphord was actually the Patriarch's name.
"You two go and bring him here. If he refuses, break his legs and drag him here.." The old man asked the Grand Elder and second Elder.
These immediately made a lot of people's faces to change.
But, the two of them didn't move.
The two looked at each other, waiting to see how the other would react.
It was obvious they didn't dare to.
If they went by logic now, the First Elder was in the wrong right now.
"What is this commotion all about?!!" A furious roar rang across the hall, as the Patriarch Yule finally arrived.
He was in a terrible mood. He had just realized that the girl whom he was fooling with all this night was not a girl. All that pleasure that he had been experiencing was from a pillow!!!
A Damn Pillow!!
And, after observing the multiple stains on it, he knew that it had to be from the very first day.
The girl had fooled him.
He was really angry right now.
But, his eyes almost turned bloodshot in anger, when he saw that his seat had actually been taken by the First Elder.
"What in hell do you think you are doing, Sun?!!" He looked at him, with his eyes filled with killing intent.
"And, what are you all looking at? Drag these b*stard down, and beat him to death!!!" He looked at the Elders in the hall, and pointed to the Old man Sun.
The Elders hesitated, they knew that the First Elder was very strong, but only a few knew that he was at the Supreme Tier.
But, those who supported the Current Patriarch had no idea about it. After all, if they had, they wouldn't have taken his side.
Three Elders immediately walked out, preparing to make a move towards him.
"Come down right now, or else we will drag you down from there." One of them said,
But, the old man gave no reply to them, instead he looked towards the Patriarch Yule, "Is this it? Or are there any more people?"
"B*stard.." The three Elder's were immediately enraged at the lack of acknowledgement towards them, and they moved
"Whoosh!"
But, the moment they stepped closer to him, an intense pressure came crashing down on them.
"Boom!"
In front of everyone's dumbfounded gazes, the three of the Elder's were immediately down on their knees, and a second later, they were lying on the ground with their cheeks against it.
"Are you trying to rebel, Sun? Are you aware of the consequences?!! The Patriarch tried to threaten. He was not that afraid of him for some reason.
"Bang!"
The moment he spoke those words, the pressure which the old man was releasing multiplied instantly, and the floor cracked as the three Elder's bodies began to flatten and blood began to ooze out of their bodies.
Their muffled screams struck terror in everybody's heart.
Even the Patriarch began to feel a bit of a fear, 'Did he reach the Peak of Supreme Tier?'
"From today onwards, I am the Patriarch of the Family." The old man suddenly made the declaration, and threw a book towards the Grand Elder.
It was the account log that Naze had brought back.
Once the Grand Elder went through it, the truth became very evident. The book one by one made its way through all of the Elder's hands and everyone's faces turned livid.
"Lies!! This is just an attempt to frame me!!" The Patriarch just denied all the allegations. And, he really was fuming in anger now. It all began to get clear to him now. That girl was definitely sent by the First Elder to steal the account logs.
'Did she see the other things as well?' His heart clenched at the thought of it. But, right now was not the time for it.
"How can you prove that this thing is legit? How about you bring the people mentioned in the book and interrogate them? I am sure it would become obvious then." He further added with a snort.
The faces of all the Elder's turned ugly. They knew that the log had Lady Talia's name in it. If they dared to accuse the Lady of the Scarlet House, then a disaster awaited them.
After all, how could they be able to compete with the Scarlet House?
Not to mention, it wasn't like they would accuse them, and the other party would just keep quiet and listen.
All of the Elder's were hesitating now on whom to side with.
If they took the wrong end of the stick they would be doomed.
In the end all they could do was wait and watch.
The old man calmly looked at the Patriarch but didn't make any move. He seemed to be waiting for something.
"Since you are here, why don't show yourself?" He suddenly spoke and shifted his gaze above and next instant, the roof exploded as a burst of energy shot towards it from the Old man's body.
"Boom!"
"I was just planning to observe, but it seems that it isn't an option anymore.." A laughter sounded, and a person came down from the top.
