Working Prophet

"This is too barbaric." The housekeeper said, "What we want to elect is the next Patriarch of the family, not a warrior. Wisdom is far more important than force."

"I'm not asking you, but telling you." Harman said.

"According to the ancient tradition of the Western Region, if any members of the immediate family are dissatisfied with the candidate for the heir, they can initiate a contest."

"You made this up, right? Why didn't I know there was such a tradition in the western region?" Jialin frowned.

"Uh... It seems that there is indeed such a tradition of deciding the heir through the challenge of martial arts."

It was the oldest immediate member of the Emmanuel family who spoke, an uncle of Theodossi.

He looked hesitant, as if he was trying to remember, "Long before the Enriquez family ruled the Western Region, the Comans were the masters of this land, and this tradition should have been set by them."

"Are you serious?" The housekeeper looked at Harman, "The Comans perished thousands of years ago, and no one cares about their traditions."

"But their blood flows through us," Halman said. "Although it is only a small part, tradition is tradition... and needs to be respected."

"The Comans also like to dance naked, and all the brothers in the family share one wife. Why don't you respect these traditions?" Galin retorted.

A flash of anger flashed in Harman's eyes, but he suppressed it in the end.

"Challenge, if I win, I will admit that Angela is the head of the Emanuel family."

Rafal said, "Count me in as well."

"You really want to compete with your own sister?" The housekeeper's brows became more and more tight.

"If she doesn't want to fight, she can choose to give up her inheritance rights."

"It's ridiculous to use the tradition thousands of years ago to initiate a challenge." Galin said, "Miss Angela can't possibly agree."

"Then how do you plan to solve the current situation?" Rafael asked.

"Vote." The housekeeper said, "Since you are unwilling to acknowledge Lord Theodosius's suicide note, let's use voting to decide the next head of the family. All direct members of the family have one vote, which is fair and just."

"Does your fairness mean that you spent a lot of money to buy more than half of the voters early on?" Harman sneered and reiterated.

"A martial arts competition is the only solution I can accept."

"I also think the contest is good."

A voice sounded from outside the door and then a tall figure walked in from the outside.

When they saw the person clearly, everyone in the hall was stunned, and then stood up from their chairs.

The visitor turned out to be "Severe Winter" Gervin, the cousin of the current head of the Figuerola family, Hells.

Before leaving the Western Territory, Hells appointed his cousin as the acting city lord of Yanxue City, which also meant that he entrusted the entire Western Territory, including the Figuerola family, to the latter.

Nowadays, no one in this land has a more noble status than Ga Wen, so when Ga Wen showed up, people stood up and saluted.

The acting city lord of Yanxue City seemed to be in a good mood today, with a rare smile on his always stern face.

He strode into the room and took off his mink cloak, handed it to the waiter behind him, and then said to the housekeeper.

"I hope I didn't disturb you. I just came out to relax. I happened to be near Black Rock City. I heard there was a lot of excitement in the city so I came over to take a look. You don't need to pay attention to me."

Although Ge Wen said it very casually, no one was naive enough to think that he really just came here by accident.

As the acting city lord of Yanxue City, he did not stay well in Yanxue City and suddenly appeared here. Obviously, he also cares about the outcome of this negotiation.

This is not surprising. As the richest noble family in the Western Region, the Emmanuel family will inevitably involve many interests in the emergence of the next head of the family.

However, Ge Wen's personal appearance this time still surprised many people.

The housekeeper glanced at Harman, who was not far away. He had not invited many allies this time, but he always showed himself confident, and his face was even more joyful after Ga Wen appeared.

Obviously, this is his real strength.

And although Ge Wen said that he didn't need to pay attention to him, he already expressed his position as soon as he entered the door. His words "I also think the martial arts competition is good" were heard by everyone.

As vassals of the Figuerola family, the Emmanuel family urgently needs to show their loyalty, especially after Ilkand betrayed Marquis Cullen, which makes it impossible for them to ignore Gavin's opinion now.

Galin's face looked a little ugly, but the matter was over, and she finally had to accept the result, took a deep breath and said.

"If there is a competition, Miss Angela will use a proxy knight to fight."

"Yes." Halman nodded, and then added, "But the choice of acting knight can only be limited to within the family."

Although he didn't look at Miss Rabbit when he said this, everyone knew who he was targeting.

If the champion of the tournament is allowed to participate in the battle, then everyone will give up and just go to sleep.

"Why?" the housekeeper asked, "I don't remember that there are such restrictions on choosing an agent knight."

"Normally, no, but choosing the head of the family is an internal matter of the family, and it is best to be resolved by people within the family, don't you think so, Miss Galin?"

The housekeeper heard the threat in Halman's words, and he did have the ability to threaten.

Because Ge Wen was sitting behind him.

But if she agreed, she couldn't find any master who could defeat Ge Wen for a while, so she couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.

Ilea thought about how much money she had collected. It would not be good to just sit and watch the excitement, and she happened to have a little itchy hands at the moment.

So he coughed slightly and took the initiative to say, "Someone challenged Miss Angela to a martial arts competition. According to the rules of the movie viewing party, I can fight for her."

"Movie viewing party? What is that?!" Ge Wen frowned when he heard this.

"An organization I founded aims to watch and help each other. Members can help each other against powerful enemies." Miss Rabbit explained. People from the Wing Tribe…”

In the end, she was interrupted by Ge Wen before she finished speaking, "I don't see any meaning for its existence... What you said, the Figuerola family can do it too."

Miss Rabbit originally wanted to say that if the Figueirola family were so easy to use, they would not have been defeated by those dwarves before. She was the one who retrieved the body of Marquis Cullen, but she held back after thinking about it.

These words were a bit too treacherous for the vassal.

The female lord feels that she has really grown up.

Seeing that Ilea stopped talking, Ge Wen said with satisfaction, "Let's do it this way. Miss Angela's acting knight will be chosen within the family."
