The people of the Skull Society left, leaving behind the despairing Tiu and his lineage's family.
At this moment, all eyes were on Tiu, with expressions of schadenfreude.
Tiu was doomed.
"Bang."
Unexpectedly, Tiu suddenly knelt down.
Facing the direction of the Cardinal, he knelt and said righteously, "Your Excellency, the Cardinal, I have not failed in my mission. Your subordinate has tricked the people of the Skull Society and saved Wenlan City from a crisis."
After speaking, he turned to Ashday and said solemnly, "Dai'er, your elder brother's death is indeed related to me, but this was something my elder brother and I agreed upon. My elder brother knew his time was short, so he and I devised this plan."
"From now on, you are the new head of the Wenmos family."
Bang!
After speaking, he kowtowed to Ashday.
"..."
The silence surrounding them was deafening.
Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the old Tiu kneeling on the ground.
Not to mention others, even the Cardinal was dumbfounded.
"A talent."
Chen Fan exclaimed from the side, "If such a person doesn't die, he will surely be a significant figure in the future." Da Feng Novel Network
The Cardinal was so angered that he laughed: "Old Tiu, you really are something. To survive, you've thrown away all your dignity."
Tiu looked up, his expression solemn: "Your Excellency, the Cardinal, for the sake of the Angelic Assembly, for the sake of the head of the Wenmos family, what does dignity matter? Even my life can be taken."
The Cardinal: "..."
What on earth was I talking about?
I was talking about your shamelessness, who did you learn that from?
"Tsk tsk, this old guy, I'm impressed..."
"If it were me, I'd rather die..."
"Die? Do you think dying is that easy? Old Tiu, what a talent..."
Old Tiu's actions were truly beyond everyone's expectations.
Clearly, he would do anything to survive.
"Heh heh."
The Cardinal smiled, and a good idea suddenly came to mind.
Looking at Ashday, he said, "From now on, Ashday is the new head of the Wenmos family. As for this person..."
He glanced at old Tiu: "I won't interfere. It's up to you in the Wenmos family to decide how to deal with him."
With that, he turned and left without any hesitation.
However, he did not leave Wenlan City.
It would be a pity to miss such a wonderful spectacle, wouldn't it?
He wanted to see how Ashday would deal with old Tiu, this shameless wretch.
Thinking of old Tiu's actions, even he had to sigh, what a talent.
...
The others in Wenlan City did not want to leave, but they were forcibly driven out by others from the Wenmos family.
The spectacle was over, why else would they stay?
To be honest, no one wanted to leave.
But since they were being asked to leave, and they were all people of consequence, lingering would be unsightly.
However, after they left, they all activated the hidden informants they had placed in the Wenmos family, wanting to see how Ashday would deal with old Tiu.
In the blink of an eye, half of the lively manor dispersed.
The remaining half, excluding servants and guards, numbered over fifty people, the backbone of the Wenmos family.
These were people who had a say in the Wenmos family, even if they were not direct family members, they were major shareholders of the company.
"All servants, leave."
The people from old Tiu's faction spoke. At this moment, they had also breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Tiu, however, wanted to stand up.
"Second Grandfather."
Unexpectedly, Ashday suddenly spoke, interrupting old Tiu's movement.
"Dai'er has something?"
"Yes."
"..."
Old Tiu wanted to stand up, but Ashday had just taken office. After thinking for a moment, he still didn't get up.
"Dai'er, just say what you need to say. Second Grandfather guarantees to complete it."
"Good."
This was exactly what he was waiting for. Ashday smiled and said, "Since Second Grandfather has said he can guarantee completion, then kneel for a while longer."
"Huh?"
"What? My words don't count?" Ashday retorted.
A glint of malevolence flashed in old Tiu's eyes, but when he looked up, it turned into relief: "Alright, after all, I also bear some responsibility for my elder brother's death. Consider it mourning for my elder brother."
He truly did not get up, only changed direction, facing the coffin.
Ashday nodded with satisfaction, his gaze turning to the members of Tiu's lineage, his eyes icy.
"..."
No one dared to meet his gaze.
Now, Ashday was the head of the Wenmos family, and his word could decide their life or death.
"You..."
Ashday's voice spread: "Kneel down and mourn for grandfather too."
Regardless of status, age, or position.
All those who had stood with old Tiu had to kneel.
"Bang bang bang."
No one objected.
When the leader, old Tiu, was kneeling, they had no way to resist.
Watching them kneel, Ashday turned his head and looked at the group of people who had already separated from Tiu's lineage. He smiled. Among these people was the former Old Bieber.
However, she acted as if she didn't see them, and smiled: "You all are the backbone of the Wenmos family. Today's events have made you uncles and elders laugh."
"In the future, I hope you uncles and elders will continue to support Ashday. Also, you uncles and elders cannot leave the company for too long, as many positions are indispensable for you."
Although she didn't directly ask them to leave, her attitude was very clear.
After a brief period of flattery, the crowd dispersed.
