"That's right. If we still hand Goode over in the end, then isn't it the same no matter who becomes the family master? Do you think it will be your turn? " Lecroft snorted coldly, "We let you be the family master because you can protect Goode, but we can't. If you can't protect him, then you should quit being the family master and abdicate! "
Kevithan was rendered speechless by Lecroft's words! However, Lecroft was not wrong. When he was fighting for the family master's position, he did use protecting Goode's life as a guarantee.
"Lecroft, you're not doing the right thing, right?" Slade glanced at Lecroft coldly, "Now is the time for a meeting to discuss countermeasures. It's not the time for infighting. Besides, Kevithan did not say that he would abandon Goode. It's just that the current situation is pressing. He wants everyone to vote on whether to continue protecting Goode. It's not that he doesn't want to protect Goode, but he's afraid that protecting Goode will affect everyone's interests!"
Soledi's words had completely pushed Kevithan's responsibility away. What he meant was that Kevithan did not intend to abandon Goode. He was just afraid that they would not be willing, so he wanted to discuss with all of them. If all of them said that they would give up, then even if Kevithan, as the family master, wanted to protect Goode and all of the elders voted against it, Kevithan couldn't go against it, right?
As a result, the responsibility fell on the shoulders of the elders, and Kevithan had no choice but to do so.
"You …" Lecroft glared, but he couldn't argue with Slade. He could only snort coldly and glare at Slade.
"What about me? Besides, Kevithan's cousin is from Central. He can just give me some technology projects and it will be enough for our Lancer Family to eat for a lifetime. Which one of you has this ability? " Slade must solidify Kevithan's position as the family master. At this time, it couldn't be snatched away by others.
Lecroft was even more speechless this time. He knew that he did not have the ability to do so. In the current situation, even if he handed Goode over, the Butterfly Family's anger would be appeased. However, it would be impossible for them to resume business with the Buffon Family.
Therefore, even if Lecroft asked himself to be the family master, it was impossible to find a new way out. Kevithan had the support of his cousin who worked in "Central." Even without the support of the Buffon Family, he could still make the Lancer Family return to glory in a short time.
Thinking of this, Lecroft felt that he had no other choice. He could only look at Thomas, wanting him to continue attacking Kevithan.
However, after Thomas heard Slade's words, the words he wanted to say to attack Kevithan were all gone! Because of Kevithan's actions, Solier's first explanation was that Kevithan didn't want to give up on Goode, but was forced to do so due to the pressure from his family. That had nothing to do with Kevithan.
"The current situation is pressing. I agree to give up on Goode in exchange for the Butterfly Family's anger to be appeased!" Slade took the lead and raised his hand. He naturally did his best to pave the way for his son. Anyway, he was already so old and didn't care about anything. He wasn't afraid of being the sinner who stood out. So what if he offended Thomas? He was no longer the family master. As long as his son sat firmly in the position of the family master, he didn't care what Thomas thought!
Slade was the first to raise his hand. As soon as his voice fell, everyone present cast a contemptuous look at him. They thought that this old man was really shameless. How could he say such words? He was obviously helping Kevithan to pave the way!
However, no one dared to say this out loud! Because going against Slade meant that they were on the same side as the original family master to protect Goode! No one wanted to be the sinner of this family! In this case, who dared to protect Goode? Protecting Goode could lead to the destruction of the family.
Seeing that no one spoke, Slade snorted coldly and said to Lecroft, "Lecroft, as the third elder of the family, tell me. Do you support protecting Goode or giving up on Goode?"
"I …" Lecroft didn't expect Slade to be the first to fire at him. This guy must have offended him with his previous words, so he targeted him! However, there was no other way because Lecroft was the third elder of the family. In the past, it was always the third elder's turn to speak after the first elder, Slade, finished speaking in every meeting!
Although Thomas was no longer the family master and had abdicated to become the second elder, this matter was related to his grandson. Moreover, it was his first time participating in the family meeting as the second elder. Therefore, it was not inappropriate for Lecroft to speak after Slade.
"Why, Lecroft, do you want to be the sinner of our Lancer Family?" Slade raised his eyebrows and looked at Lecroft coldly, "This is an important moment for the survival of the family. You have to be responsible for your words!"
Lecroft's heart trembled and he was furious. He took a deep breath. Although he didn't want to speak, Slade had already raised the matter to the height of the family's survival. Lecroft had no choice but to express his opinion, "I agree to give up on Goode. After all, the family's interests come first!"
"Second Elder, what about you?" Slade was very satisfied with Lecroft's answer and nodded with a smile. He then turned to Thomas and said, "However, two of the three elders have already reached a consensus. Your opinion is not important. Even if you object, we still have to give up on Goode in a two to one ratio. Now, I announce that according to the votes of the family's elders, we will give up on Goode to appease the anger of the Butterfly Family! "
"Slade — — You …" Thomas was so angry that his face turned pale. He covered his chest with one hand and gasped for breath. His other hand pointed at Slade with trembling fingers, "You are so vicious!"
"The family's interests come before everything else!" However, Slade didn't seem to see Thomas' current appearance at all as he replied indifferently.
"Since everyone has this opinion, then I have no other choice." Kevithan breathed a sigh of relief. He was grateful to his father for everything he had done, "Although I also want to keep Goode, everyone is against it. The family's interests are the most important. I have decided to listen to everyone's opinion!"
"No!" Thomas slammed the table, "I want to see who dares to give Goode away! Although I, Thomas, am no longer the family master, I want to see who has the ability to disobey me in the Lancer Family! "
Slade and Kevithan's faces suddenly became ugly after listening to Thomas's words! Indeed, they had overlooked the most important point. Although Thomas was no longer the family master, he had worked hard in the Lancer Family for so many years. There were many direct descendants. These people were all loyal subordinates who directly took orders from Thomas. It wasn't that they would be disobedient when Thomas was no longer the family master.
As long as these people were still around, it was impossible for Slade and Kevithan to do whatever they wanted in the Lancer Family!
At this moment, the happiest person was none other than Lecroft. Just now, he had no choice but to agree with Slade's opinion. This made Lecroft very unhappy. Now that he saw Thomas and Slade going against each other, he was gloating.
Aren't you very capable? Let's see what you can do now. You are in a dilemma, right?
After Thomas left this sentence, he didn't say anything else. He stood up and walked out of the conference room, leaving everyone with his back!
Slade and Kevithan looked at each other! If Thomas insisted, then they really couldn't do anything to Goode! After all, more than half of the subordinates in the Lancer Family directly took orders from Thomas!
"I have already expressed my opinion. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving too." Lecroft's expression was very annoying. He stood up and followed Thomas out.
"Damn it!" Slade was the first to slap the table, "These guys. The family has already reached such a point, but they are still fighting internally. They will be happy when the Butterfly Family completely annexes them!"
While Slade was scolding, he didn't think that he was also helping his son Kevithan to fight openly and covertly for the position of the family master! Now that he was considering the problem from the position of the family master, the direction of his consideration was naturally different.
