Hyde still used the address he was accustomed to, and the trip to the land of Nod made him have a good impression of the leader at that time.
But this time, after all, he was just watching as a member of the alliance family, and had no position to interfere in voting or other elections.
"So you started by stepping on our historic round table and acting like a party clown?"
Lucien exclaimed exaggeratedly:
"Wow, that's a lot of history, let me guess how long this table has been here, 500 years? Or 1000?"
He kicked the stone tabletop with his toe.
"I guess it hasn't been stepped on in the last few hundred or 1000 years, which makes the traditions and etiquette we follow look worthless, doesn't it?"
"It's like you drove your forces into the estate less than a week after your father died, and put those smelly animals in our winery and hunting grounds."
"Just like you sitting here today to deliver a speech as the head of the family, before the other heirs entered Faust, you found a way to bribe the elders present today."
Saying so, he glanced around with disdainful eyes.
"What kind of benefits did he promise you to let you trample on the dignity of the family like this?"
"If it wasn't for our venerable mother's intervention, I, the new Enoch Consul, might even know about my father's death later than others, and I found you sitting in my father's position on the first day back to Faust Give us orders."
"If it weren't for the presence of someone you didn't expect today, my brother, you wouldn't have planned to imitate the villains in knight novels and directly force the palace to usurp the throne, right?"
Lucien smiled particularly cheerfully.
"Really not?
Chapter 135 The Dead Kid
Lucien's voice echoed above the empty conference hall, and the hell-themed religious paintings on the dome of the room seemed to become a little brighter red, and the hideous monsters in the blood-colored lake turned their eyes, quietly in unknown places Turn your gaze to the man standing on the round table.
Hyde seemed to have noticed something, his brows were suddenly frowned, and he suddenly raised his head to look in the direction of the dome and the chandelier.But before that, the creatures in those murals hurried back to their original positions, covering their bodies with black rocks and weird needle mountains.
He looked away thoughtfully and no longer looked at the picture.
The voice gradually fell silent, and the elders in the parliament still lowered their eyes and did not react to his words.
Finally, one of the oldest, an old man with a thick white beard and deep facial features and sharp eyes, broke the embarrassing atmosphere.
"Cough... It's not for any benefit. We think that in such a chaotic situation, Mephisto needs a powerful Patriarch. Although you are also an excellent candidate, Luo Your Excellency Gen is more in line with the current needs and interests of the family."
But on the other hand, he acquiesced in Lucien's statement. Indeed, they had discussed the results of the election before the meeting began.
Logan's expression relaxed, and the corners of his mouth turned up into a slight smile.
"That's all you want to say? If that's the case, I think we can start today's topic and stop wasting each other's time."
Lucien squatted down on the round table, ignoring the old man who spoke, just looking down at the man who smiled like a victor.
"You got one thing wrong, Logan."
"I'm not saying this to compete with you for a seat. To be honest, I don't have time to stay in Faust to rehearse any master game with you. The development of New Enoch is at a very critical period. Those people need me , and trust me, I will not have any prejudice because of my magical talents. They will condense into a powerful force in my hands. And those dark wizards and your pets you secretly summoned for training are in my eyes It's so ridiculous, on the frontal battlefield, they can't even resist a charge of my soon-to-be-formed cavalry."
"In the foreseeable future, my achievements will surely surpass Fred—and you, Logan."
He stretched out his hand and brushed the dust off the opponent's shoulders, and straightened the decorative metal button, regardless of the increasingly ugly expression on the opponent's face.
"You wear a suit that doesn't suit you at all, and you have a curly beard, and you touch them when your mood changes to express your displeasure. But you also know that this is just a parody of that person, no matter what No matter how you learn from him, you are not Fred—up to now, you are still just a kid chasing after your father, and this is the biggest gap between us."
Lucien's every word made Logan's face paler. His gentle stroking of his beard suddenly stiffened, and he looked at his eldest brother with gritted teeth.
But the latter's expression became more calm, even showing a little pity and sorrow.
"The one who really cares about a title and the ownership of this manor is only you from the beginning to the end."
"I, Schiff, or Ling, no one wants to rob you at all. Even if I talk so much nonsense here today, it is only because you are not decent enough."
"Because that person, he, would never do that."
"Do you understand, my dear brother?"
With that said, he jumped off the round table and strode towards the high platform under the flag.
In front of Mrs. Diana, in front of his brothers and sisters, in front of the alliance representatives and family members who witnessed the meeting, he put one hand on his chest and straightened his back.
Lucien's expression was solemn, and all the exaggeration, banter and unrestrainedness disappeared from his face.
"I, the descendant of the devil, the eldest son of Fred Mephisto, Lucien Mephisto, the consul of the new Enoch, declares here."
"I will give up my right of inheritance and all my power in the family!"
Under the blank expressions, he pointed the end of his cane at Logan.
"Before then, I recommend my father's youngest son, my worthless brother, to inherit the glorious Mephisto."
"Although he is arrogant, childish, and cowardly, he is a perverted father, obsessed with blood theory, and is almost a useless waste."
"But anyway, he finally has a bit of courage and skill. I believe that with your support and help in the future, he may also be able to become a qualified Patriarch."
"Let's start today's vote. I vote for Logan."
Schiff shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't know how the family meeting would end today.
"I also support Shiv becoming the new head of the family."
The elders looked at each other, and finally three representatives raised their hands and voted in favor.
They were originally on Logan's side, not to mention that there is only one candidate left now. The original vote seems to have become a simple vote. No one wants to offend the future Patriarch at this time.
"I agree."
Mrs. Diana seemed to have expected such a result. She seemed a little tired, and tapped her forehead with her fingers.
Ling shook her head, the current situation is settled and has nothing to do with her will.Neither objection nor agreement can change the final result.
However, now she has opened up about the matter itself a lot, and it doesn't matter even if Logan takes this position.
"I abstain."
Hyde laughed.
“With six votes in favor and one abstention, the result is clear.
"Then congratulations? Your Excellency Logan Mephisto, you are now the master of the Mephisto family. According to the agreement, we should also grant you the title of Speaker of the Wizards Union at the same time, but this requires another battle." Voted."
"Believe me, as long as you can perform the obligations that the Mephisto family should fulfill in accordance with the contract originally signed, and hand over some things well, it is just a logical process."
Logan took a short staff from Lady Diana's hand, and then turned his gaze to the old alchemist.
"Then according to the agreement, now you should present the two holy relics to the master of this family, and I will try to master them through a ceremony."
The old man's cloudy eyes rolled, and he grinned in an ugly smile.
"Actually, not yet."
Logan suddenly changed color,
"contract--"
"The content of the contract is - we will hand over the sacred object to the most powerful person in this family, and try to help him control that terrible power."
The old man held up a finger,
"You misunderstood a concept, the head of the family may not be the strongest person, what do you think?"
Before the words were finished, the originally lukewarm flame in the fireplace suddenly jumped several meters high.
It turned from the pointed part to an eerie off-white color, outlining a beautiful girlish figure.
Chapter 136 Bastard Dad
"Sorry, I seem to be a little late... But I shouldn't have missed anything?"
The flames in the fireplace rose and fell, leaving a little ashes in the air.
Ayla held down her bowler hat, and her black gown fluttered up and down in the ashes.
The girl stepped on the carpet, her body fully formed in the flames and ashes.This is no longer an ordinary teleportation magic. She communicates with the family members in familiar coordinates and uses her own authority to complete the arrival in an instant.The magical defenses on Faust's periphery failed to interfere at all with this process.
At some point, she had changed back to the dress she wore when she was an executive officer, wearing a bright silver coat of arms on her chest.
Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, his mouth changed slightly and he was about to spit out a syllable, and he was about to stand up half an inch away from the chair.
But eventually she stopped and just met Ella's eyes and smiled.
Seeing this scene, Logan's face turned as cold as ice, and he looked at Lady Diana.
"My mother, is this your arrangement, the delay for nearly two months is to wait for her to wake up?"
The situation about Ella Williams and the stone chamber is top secret even within Kraft.
Only a few people and completely credible executors who have signed the contract are allowed to enter the top floor that belongs exclusively to the principal, and are on duty outside the secret room or submit an application to enter under the authentication of two or more people.
Logan tried to arrange the family's candidates among the executors to spy on information, but under the effect of the powerful oath formed by the Silver Banner, even if they became one of the candidates, they would not be able to confide the secret to their superiors.
"I didn't do anything, just some troublesome matters that had to be dealt with immediately. Protecting the interests of the family and the legacy left by your father is all I did."
Lady Diana's expression remained cold and unmoved by the changes in the conference hall.
"Ha, family interests?"
But Logan's emotions were a little out of control at this time, he tore off the first button on his collar, and his tone became more irritable and aggressive.
Anyone who is familiar with him knows that this is the tone that Logan Mephisto usually uses.
"It seems that I don't need to remind you, you still remember these, of course you should remember these!"
"This may bring our family the highest level of power, and let us regain our status in the Wizarding Union instead of being restricted everywhere! Even if it is an executive officer, she has no position to interfere with the Mephisto family's affairs. Internal affairs, do you want to use her connections to support the bad breed that Fred picked up?"
This vulgar and offensive name made Ella's pupils shrink instantly, and she glanced in Ling's direction, but the latter just shook his head.
"Actually, she has."
Diana's next words made most of the people present stunned, including Ling who was unaware.
This seemingly young woman raised her head, with tiny wrinkles already visible at the corners of her eyes, she sighed.
"During your father's lifetime, we reached an agreement with Miss Williams on a major matter. We made a covenant that she, her bloodline, and her surname would be integrated into the glorious Mephisto, and in the not-too-distant future, We will be the steadiest allies bound by blood."
