Goode was about to explode when he heard the words of the elder in the gray suit. However, his father was talking to him, so he could only brace himself and say, "Yes, Grandpa Changster is right. Goode won't be so reckless next time."
The grey-suited Elder Chang Shite coldly snorted, as if to show off his authority. This made Good gnash his teeth even more. This group of old fools, he was afraid that each and every one of them was waiting for him to make a fool of himself. They couldn't wait for him to make a fool of himself so that their grandson could take over.
Elder Changster's words resonated with another elder. His grandson was also one of the more outstanding talents in the family. He was not inferior to Changster's grandson. Therefore, if Goode really could not inherit the position of the family master, it was still uncertain who would emerge victorious!
This elder was called Ma Deman. He was also Elt's uncle. He had long been dissatisfied with Elt being the family master! When Elt's father was the head of the family, they couldn't say anything. After all, they were all blood brothers, and Elt's father was quite outstanding. However, after Elt's father passed away, the old men in the family began to stir.
Especially when Elt was training Goode as the next heir of the family master, these old guys began to plan for their own children and grandchildren. They were all of the Douglas Family's bloodline. How could Goode, this idiot, be the successor of the family master?
Of course, Goode was not that bad. It was just that he was a little impulsive in comparison. However, as a young man, who could guarantee that he would not be impulsive when it came to emotional problems? If it were Elder Changster or Elder Ma Deman's grandson, they would probably not be any better. It was a pity that they did not encounter such an incident. Therefore, Goode became the target of public criticism and was criticized by these people.
"Elt, although our Douglas Family has a lot of power in Ello Town, there is no need to be enemies with the Butterfly Family, a transcendent assassin family. This will bring disaster to our Douglas Family!" Elder Ma Deman said ambiguously, but the meaning in his words was already very obvious. If the Douglas Family wanted to stand up for Goode, he would be the first to object.
"Uncle Ma Deman, you must be joking. Although our Douglas Family has grown very quickly over the years, I am not arrogant enough to think that we can compete with the Butterfly Family." Elt smiled and said, "If we were to find trouble with the Butterfly Family, it would undoubtedly be like hitting a rock with an egg. Even if we could take advantage of them, we wouldn't be able to escape the situation where both sides would suffer."
Although Elt was enraged and wanted to dismember Wang Ruoshui, the woman who had beaten his son to the point of disfigurement, his reason told him that it was not feasible to do so! The Butterfly Family wasn't an ordinary small family. They weren't a pushover. Elt couldn't just bully them as he pleased!
The Douglas Family's all-out attack might be able to fight to the death with the Butterfly Family, but doing so was obviously an underhanded move. Elt was not stupid enough to use the entire family to vent his anger for his son.
There was only one thing that could be said, and that was that even if the Douglas Family wanted to stand up for Goode, they did not have the ability to do so.
"Since you understand this principle, then I won't say anything more." Elder Ma Deman saw that he had achieved his goal, so he didn't say anything more.
"Father, don't worry! I won't make things difficult for you and the elders this time! " Goode had long expected this situation. He didn't expect the Douglas Family to stand up for him! His trump card was the Lancer Family, his grandfather who had loved him since he was a child!
Since Goode's mother, Thomas' daughter, had died in childbirth while giving birth to Goode, Thomas loved this grandson very much. He had turned the pain of losing his daughter into doting for Goode!
Goode believed that as long as he begged his grandfather, the Lancer Family would definitely stand up for him and get back his face.
"Oh? Then you … "Elt pretended to be surprised as he looked at Goode. In fact, when Goode said this, he had already thought of what Goode was going to do next! However, he didn't say it directly. Instead, he wanted Goode to say it himself!
This was because Elt also realized that this was a good opportunity for Goode to establish his authority in the Douglas Family! Over the years, with the support of the Lancer Family, the Douglas Family had gradually expanded and become the number one family in Ello Town! Of course, most of the family members thought that this was Thomas' compensation to the Douglas Family because Elt had never married!
Only Elt understood that it didn't matter if he married again or not! The reason why Thomas spared no effort to support the Douglas Family was because Goode was the first successor of the Douglas Family!
Helping the Douglas Family was equivalent to helping his most beloved grandson. Naturally, Thomas would spare no effort to help! However, because Thomas had only instructed the Lancer Family to take care of the Douglas Family behind their backs, the Douglas Family members didn't know of Thomas' love for Goode.
The reason why the old fellows of the Douglas Family tolerated Elt sitting in the family master's position was because they saw the benefits and benefits that the Lancer Family had brought to the Douglas Family over the years. If it weren't for this, Elt's position as the family master would have been shaken long ago!
Now, this was a good opportunity for Goode to quickly establish his authority in the Douglas Family. As long as he went to Thomas and asked the Lancer Family to resolve the grudge between Goode and the Butterfly Family, he could let the Douglas Family see that Thomas supported Goode!
At that time, even Changster and Ma Deman would no longer think of making their grandson the successor. Even if they agreed, the rest of the Douglas Family would not agree.
No one was a fool. If Goode was the successor, the Douglas Family could continue to receive the support of the Lancer Family. The benefits they would receive would not be small.
"I'm going to the Lancer Family to see Grandpa," Goode said. "I'm one of Grandpa's most beloved juniors. Grandpa will definitely stand up for me if I'm bullied!"
Elt was not surprised by Goode's words because he had already guessed Goode's thoughts. The Douglas Family was not enough to shake the Butterfly Family, but the Lancer Family was not afraid of the Butterfly Family.
However, Elder Changster, Elder Ma Deman, and a group of Douglas Family members looked at Goode in surprise! It was not because they were surprised to hear the name of the Lancer Family. Everyone present knew the relationship between Goode and the Lancer Family's family master, Thomas! However, they did not think that Thomas would stand up for Goode!
Of course, the Lancer Family's care for the Douglas Family over the years was obvious to everyone. However, taking care of the Lancer Family and standing up for the Lancer Family were two completely different concepts!
In everyone's opinion, the Lancer Family's care for the Douglas Family was entirely because Elt missed his late wife and had not remarried. That was why Thomas took care of him, allowing the Douglas Family to rise quickly and become the largest family in Ello Town besides the Butterfly Family.
However, these people did not think that the Lancer Family would stand up for Goode. If Goode had offended a small family, perhaps the Lancer Family could easily help Goode settle it. However, Goode's current crime was indeed the Butterfly Family, an assassin family with a transcendent status in European upper-class society!
Would the Lancer Family start a war with the Butterfly Family for a child with a different surname? This seemed to be impossible at all, right? If Goode's mother had not passed away, there might be such a possibility. However, Goode's mother had passed away long ago. It was reasonable to say that the bond between him and Thomas had long been gone. So, how could Thomas stand up for him?
"Only your grandfather — my father-in-law — can solve this matter!" Elt was very satisfied with the expressions of everyone present. As long as Goode invited the Lancer Family to stand up for him, then Goode's position in the Douglas Family would be fixed!
Goode had provoked such a strong opponent, but the Lancer Family still spared no effort to stand on his side. What did this mean? It meant that Thomas was supporting his grandson. If the Douglas Family wanted to develop, they really needed Goode to be the family master!
Otherwise, not to mention the support from the Lancer Family, Thomas might create some trouble for the Douglas Family in anger when he saw that Goode did not become the family master.
