"If you didn't provoke the Butterfly Family first, they wouldn't be able to eat us even if they pretended to be weak." Slade snorted, "But it's good that everyone understands these words. Now, let's talk about how to solve the problem!"
Thomas couldn't help but be furious after hearing Slade's words. What do you mean it's good that everyone understands? Aren't you saying that I'm not suitable to be the family master? People make mistakes, and horses stumble. What's the matter with you grabbing onto someone else's weak point?
"Since the Butterfly Family is like this, they must want to achieve their goal of revenge. Should we ask them what their conditions are?" Lecroft said. He also understood that the blow to Thomas was enough. After this incident, Thomas' position as the family master was in jeopardy. It would be fine if this incident was resolved peacefully, but if the Lancer Family suffered a huge loss, then Thomas could only wait to abdicate his position!
"Yes, as long as we make a little sacrifice, I believe that the Butterfly Family will not hold on to us. After all, we can't fight to the death with them!" Slade said firmly.
"Who said that we can't fight to the death?" It would have been fine if the Butterfly Family's conditions were not mentioned. Thomas was furious when the Butterfly Family's conditions were mentioned. These conditions were simply too much! Thomas even had the impulse to fight to the death with the Butterfly Family.
"Thomas, you really don't feel the pain of speaking while standing!" After listening to Thomas's words, Slade couldn't help but look at him angrily, "Don't forget that the Lancer Family is not your family alone, but our family. Do you want to ignore the interests of the entire family? Fight to the death with the Butterfly Family because of a little personal grudge? "
"A little personal grudge?" Thomas's eyes also became bloodshot, "Do you know what the Butterfly Family asked for? Do you know what they have to do to stop? "
"Oh?" Slade sneered and said, "I don't know, I'd like to hear the details."
"That bastard Wang Songshan said that I can stop, but I have to offer Goode's head! This is the only condition, nothing else! "Thomas roared.
The reason why he said this at this time was to let Slade and Lecroft know that he didn't have to fight to the death with the Butterfly Family, but that the Butterfly Family was too much! In any case, both Slade and Lecroft were Goode's grand-uncles. Both of them would not sit idly by when they heard that Goode's life was in danger.
As long as the three of them reached a consensus, then things would be easy! The so-called fight to the death with the Butterfly Family was just an excuse to scare people! This was because Thomas was certain that the Butterfly Family wouldn't dare to fight to the death with him! Once the Butterfly Family, the Butterfly Family would be to the death, the Butterfly Family would definitely take the initiative to compromise!
This was because compared to the Lancer Family, the Butterfly Family was like a precious porcelain. At this moment, they were thriving. It was impossible to go head-to-head with the Lancer Family. This was contrary to the development direction of the Butterfly Family.
As long as the Butterfly Family to the death to the family to the death, the Butterfly family't t the't t's a family. The Lancer Family's crisis would naturally be resolved.
However, Thomas's wishful thinking was good, but Slade and Lecroft didn't have the same thoughts as him. Not only were they not angry when they heard that the Butterfly Family wanted Goode's life, they began to gloat instead.
Slade and Lecroft both thought, This is great. Let's see how you, Thomas, make your choice! If you sacrifice Goode, then we might have made a fuss for nothing this time. It seems that the family master's position can't be easily shaken. But if you protect Goode and sacrifice the Lancer Family's interests, then fine. In that case, we don't have to wait for the matter to be resolved. We will abolish your position as the family master now!
This was because there was such a rule in the Lancer Family. If the family master's actions were contrary to the family's interests and could cause great losses to the family, then the elders had the right to abolish the family master and appoint a wise new family master if the family master did not listen to the advice of the other elders and insisted on doing things his own way.
Therefore, since there was this family rule, Slade and Lecroft were thinking about how to make use of this situation instead of Goode's life! What a joke. He's just a grand-nephew. His surname is Douglas and not Lancer. If he dies, then he dies. What's there to be angry about? If it weren't for this bastard, the Lancer Family wouldn't have fallen to this point.
"In that case, Thomas, you must have made a decision, right?" Slade asked again in a gloomy tone.
"Yes!" Thomas nodded and said resolutely, "At this time, we can't compromise. The three of us must work together and confront the Butterfly Family to the end!"
"Confront? When did we agree to confront the Butterfly Family to the end? "Slade suddenly interrupted Thomas," Aren't you courting death? You know that there is a gap between us and the Butterfly Family, yet you still insist? "
"If we don't confront them, do we have to agree to the Butterfly Family's unreasonable request?" Thomas faintly felt that something was wrong when Slade opened his mouth. Slade didn't seem to support his suggestion at all.
"Yes, that's right. Then, when will we give Goode's head to the Butterfly Family? " Lecroft also spoke, "Let this matter pass quickly. The Lancer Family can't afford to be tossed around. It's really an eventful time!"
"Third brother, you …" Thomas widened his eyes. He couldn't believe that his third brother was so ruthless and didn't care about Goode's life or death.
"What about you?" Slade waved his hand and said, "Thomas, I think third brother is right. What's wrong with sacrificing a few people for the family's righteousness? What's more, Goode is an outsider? If we didn't stand up for him, would we have fallen to this point? Therefore, sacrificing him this time is also a lesson for him. It's also good for him to not be so arrogant in his next life! "
Next life? Good for him? Thomas was so angry that his blood surged. He almost rolled his eyes! What next life? Isn't this bullsh * t? What's the use of having benefits in the next life?
"I think it's decided. Second brother, if you don't want to do it, just leave it to me. Or you can directly send him to the Butterfly Family. They can do whatever they want with him," Lecroft said casually.
"You — Lecroft, what do you mean?" Thomas was furious when he heard that his two brothers were determined to use Goode as a scapegoat. He pointed at Lecroft and said loudly, "I'm telling you, I'm protecting Goode!"
"You?" Slade snorted coldly, "Thomas, since you don't care about the family's interests and insist on doing things your own way, then I, as the first elder of the Lancer Family, announce that Thomas is temporarily relieved of his position as the family master. Third brother and I will temporarily be in charge of the family's affairs until you change your mind or choose the next family master!"
"What? You want to abolish my position as the family master? "Thomas finally understood what Slade and Lecroft meant! They were using Goode's matter to force him. If he protected Goode, then he would have to give up his position as the family master!
Thomas was really sad. The family had already reached this point, but these people were still thinking about internal strife. How could they oust him from the position of the family master? Can't these people be united for once?
But why didn't Thomas think about it? If he hadn't insisted on protecting Goode and occupied the position of the family master, how could his elder brother and younger brother fight with him openly and secretly at all costs?
