Chapter 1209: Trial of the Criminal Tribe
In the Neuschwanstein Castle, all the leaders of the Capet family gathered, including August and Henry, the core children vying for the position of heir.
In the majestic parliament hall, many bigwigs were sitting there, and the aura they exuded made the entire parliament hall a little depressing.
In the center of the council chamber, kneeling was a young member who had been beaten half to death.
And he was the mastermind behind the assassination of Henry and August - Ronald.
This meeting involving many tribesmen was initiated because of him.
"Ronald, do you have anything else to say?"
Jayne looked at the younger generation kneeling on the ground with an old and majestic gaze, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Although this child was not his biological child, he was also a younger generation whom he watched grow up with his own eyes.
He had always been very optimistic about this young and outstanding junior, believing that he could become a powerful figure in the Capet family.
But when he learned that the other party actually wanted to get rid of his two sons, this optimism disappeared without a trace, leaving only overwhelming anger.
Facing the questioning from the old patriarch, Ronald's bruised face showed no regret, only calmness.
"Master Patriarch, I have nothing to say. There's an old saying in China: 'Winners take all, and losers take all.' I lost, and I lost. You can punish me however you want!"
The young figure looked stubbornly at the important figures in front of him, his face full of determination.
"Ronald, do you know what you're saying? Killing one's own kind is the worst of all crimes, and yet you act so casually about it. Don't you have any regrets at all?"
Jayne, who was sitting in the main seat, was furious at these words. He didn't expect that this junior would be so stubborn and had no intention of admitting his mistakes.
"Master Patriarch, please calm down. There must be some misunderstanding. Our Capet family has been passed down for so long, and we have always relied on unity to overcome so many difficulties and obstacles. Ronald must have a reason for taking action this time!"
In the parliament hall, a person in power from Ronald's lineage stood up and tried to excuse him, but he was interrupted by Ronald before he could say a few words.
"Uncle Kyle, you don't have to defend me. There's no reason for all this. If there really is one, it's just that I'm crazy about wanting to be the heir."
As he spoke, he looked at Jayne and the group of people in power, and he looked extremely free and easy.
"Master Patriarch, all the elders, if the family wants to be strong, it needs unity."
"But we all know that every transfer of power is accompanied by blood."
"Regarding the battle for the position of heir, I have only begun. There will be even greater storms to come. I hope you can be prepared."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the council hall, leaving only a desolate back to everyone.
After hearing these words, everyone present looked at each other with seriousness in their eyes, because they knew that everything Ronald said was true.
Even they themselves came from that era.
Among them, the patriarch Jayne felt the same way the most.
He had defeated many competitors to reach such a position. And it was precisely because of this experience that he tried to find a way to speed up the promotion of Henry to the position of heir in order to reduce the bloody struggle in the family.
But looking at the current situation, he still underestimated the temptation of power to a person.
The atmosphere in the conference hall was somewhat solemn, and Ronald's words left everyone speechless.
In the end, the meeting ended in a bad mood.
Although the tribesmen who had made mistakes were successfully tried, the impending storm was not stopped, and it even seemed to be getting worse.
The people in the conference room gradually dispersed, and finally only Jayne was left sitting there alone.
Thinking that his two sons might kill each other, Jayne couldn't help but feel sad, but he really couldn't stop this situation. After all, the two of them hadn't torn their faces apart openly yet, so all he could do was to warn them.
"Hey...Henry...it would be great if you were my direct descendant. That way, no one in the family would object to you becoming the heir..."
The tired voice echoed in the council hall and eventually faded away.
Fix Group headquarters.
Henry, who had just returned from the family headquarters, was a little confused at the moment.
Now the path before him is very clear, that is fighting, and only the winner can successfully sit on the throne of heir.
But what makes him different from other competitors is that he is just an illegitimate child, and his current situation is due to his father and his own efforts.
In this situation, if he dared to take action against other competitors first, then even if he killed all of them, those in power in the clan would not agree to let him take the position of heir.
"boom!"
"Damn it, am I just going to be on the defensive?"
Henry became more and more angry as he thought about it, and kicked the desk hard, his mind still recalling the scene of the assassination the day before.
If Ellie hadn't intervened in time, he might have really gone to see God.
"dong dong dong"
There was a knock on the door, and then Ellie walked in with a document in her hand.
"Chairman, I think I have some good news that might excite you."
The woman placed the documents on the table and sat in Henry's arms.
"What good news?"
Henry raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"The nobles you asked me to contact have responded. They said that if you can provide them with strong rewards after becoming the clan leader, they will provide a large amount of real money to help you obtain the position of heir."
Ellie opened her red lips slightly and exhaled a breath as sweet as orchid. The breath made Henry's heart pound, but at this moment, no matter how seductive the beauty in his arms was, it was not as exciting as this short sentence.
"Really? You mean they actually agreed?"
Henry grabbed Ellie's arms, his face full of excitement.
Eliminating competitors is only the lowest level approach, and he would not do it unless it is absolutely necessary.
After all, who doesn't want to defeat all competitors fairly and get the position of heir, not to mention that he is an illegitimate child.
The habits he formed since childhood made him extremely eager to be recognized by everyone.
Now that he finally has such an opportunity, how can he not be excited?
"It's true, Chairman, but their offer is very high. If you agree, then after you take over the Capet family, you will not generate any profit for the family for at least five years."
Ellie followed up by saying.
