Chapter 490 Conviction

Director Kedan looked at General Hanks who was at the front of the welcome line and wanted to laugh. Although General Hanks was arrogant some time ago, he had the power to be inferior to ten thousand people in the family, which made him imprisoned in prison with a disagreement. Even he could only cooperate with him and strive to ensure the operation of the family's territory administrative system.

But as soon as he received the news that Lorist returned to the North, the Hanske General Manager seemed to be over 10 years old and no longer had the arrogance of high spirits. Not only did he become gentle and cautious, but he also had a vague fear of fear. You should know that he, the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Norton family, is self-responsible. Lorist may tolerate his eldest son Leskert becoming the heir of the family, but he would never let Chief Executive Officer Hanske be spared.

So now, General Hanske, who is standing in front of the team that welcomes Lorist, has an inexplicable brilliance of self-sacrifice on his face. He is whispering to tell Lesket around him how to say hello when he sees Lorist, and then respond to Lorist's inquiry. Perhaps in General Hanske's heart, even if he sacrifices his life for this family civil strife, as long as Master Lesket becomes the heir to the Norton family, it is the greatest victory. From this point of view, General Hanske is indeed very loyal to the Norton family, of course this is what he thinks.

The sound of horse hooves came from afar, and it was endless. Soon, Lorist, who was leading the way, appeared in front of the greeting team, followed by Krisya, Reddy, Tager, Bodfinger, soldiers from the guards and the Rock Legion...

Many people in the welcoming team were trembling, and the front-line General Hanske and Leskert were no exception. When Loristlema stopped in front of the welcoming team, everyone bowed their heads and bowed. At this moment, everyone understood that Lorist was the heaven of the Norton family, becoming the sword saint, which was the greatest glory and protection of the Norton family.

"Welcome to your Highness home..."

According to traditional aristocratic etiquette, Lorist should be dismounted at this moment, so that everyone can be waived with gifts, and then condolences to these family officials who are welcoming. It doesn’t take too much, just one or two words, pat these officials on the shoulders, say hard work, and express their closeness and appreciation for these left-behind officials.

But Lorist was standing high on the horse's back without saying a word. Almost all the family officials who came to greet him felt a sharp look on their bodies. The welcome scene suddenly became silent. The mountain-like pressure made those family officials who were ulterior motives or a little guilty could not help but lower their heads and bend their waists even more, and they wanted to hide in the shadow of others...

"Your Highness!" Chief Hanske proudly straightened his body, breaking the silence atmosphere.

Lorist waved his hand unheard of. Reddy, behind him, walked to the welcome crowd, picked up a silver tube from the horse's back, poured out a scroll from the silver tube, opened the scroll, and began to name it: "Cruise! Evanson! Eckfar! Moslin! Baiachus..."

Every time Reddy reported a name, several guards rushed up to pull out welcome people to the people who reported the name. Those who were interested could find that all the people who were reported were trusted by General Hanks, who had just been promoted, or were from Fenglin Villa, and were mostly veterans from the security camp. They made great contributions in this mutiny that elected Master Leskert as the heir of the family. It was strange that Reddy seemed to have ignored the existence of General Hanks and Master Leskert and did not report their names.

"What do you want to do?" Manager Hanske was shocked and jumped to stop Reddy's horse, as if this could prevent Reddy from continuing to report his name.

Reddy clamped his legs and took a seat and moved his horse two steps, turning to Manufacturer Hanks sideways. Then Reddy raised his right foot and kicked on Manufacturer Hanks' face. Manufacturer Hanks flew back seven or eight meters away, and raised his head with difficulty. A bruised shoe print on his face, spitting out blood with a "pop" sound, and there were two teeth in the blood. However, Reddy was like kicking a wild dog barking at the road, and continued to recite the name on the scroll in an unchanging tone without any concern.

More and more people were pulled out by the guards to stand aside. When it was about forty or fifty people, Reddy finally stopped and put the scroll in his hand back into the silver tube. At this time, Lorist got off the horse, walked to the remaining family officials, showed a kind and kind smile, helped them up one by one, patted their shoulders and said, "Thank you, I'm sorry."

Chief Kedan expressed their guilt to Lorist on behalf of the remaining thirty gratified family officials: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, it was our incompetence that caused the family to experience this accident..."

Lorist waved his hand: "No need to say anything more. You are right. You are civil officials of the family. There is no need to dye the swords and spears of the rebels red with their blood. When the family is in chaos, you still do your duty and maintain the operation of the family territory administrative system, so that most parts of the family territory are kept in order and tranquility. This is your contribution to the family. I would like to express my sincere thanks to you, thank you."

Lorist's words moved the family officials in front of him, but made the forty or fifty people who were taken to the side pale. This was the characterization of the family civil strife in person. The adjective he used was a traitor, which means that this was a rebellion within the family.

"I, we are not traitors! We are the most loyal retainers of the Norton family! Your Highness, you can't insult us!" Manager Hanks's face turned red, and nothing more angered than Lorist's claim that they were the Norton family's rebellion. With the bruised shoe prints left by Reddy's kick on his face, he rushed to Lorist again and shouted excitedly.

"Look, who is this?" Lorist finally looked at General Hanks: "I'm very surprised, Baron Hanks, why are you here? I remember that I asked you to go back to your own fiefdom to reflect on the losses and adverse effects you have caused to our family. In the sense that you have served for the family, I mercifully forgive your fault and only let you return to your own fiefdom. Then can you tell me who made you here and shout loudly at me, the head of the Norton family?"

"Uh..." General Hanks suddenly found himself in a dilemma. He had thought of it in advance and all the reasons and arguments became useless before Lorist's questioning. Lorist called his title, not his position in the family, and it was obvious that he had kicked him out of the family's top leadership. He could not find a reason for him to appear here now.

If Chief Hanks claims to be a loyal retainer of the family, he should obey the orders of the current head of the family, and stay in his baron territory to reflect on his faults. He should not have appeared here without Lorist's permission.

"I, I am here to support Master Lesctor as the heir to the family. This is the duty of every retainer who is loyal to the family..." Manager Hanks finally found a reason to speak out.

"Haha, family heir?" Lorist turned to Master Lesctor, who was trembling on the other side, pretending to be an ostrich. Looking at his fat figure, a look of disgust flashed in Lorist's eyes.

"I remember I never established any family heirs." Lorist said softly. His voice was low, but everyone present could hear it clearly: "Lescott, my dear son, time flies so fast, you are over seventeen years old in the blink of an eye. Since you were a child, I have been busy with family affairs and neglecting the cultivation of you. But I didn't expect that you would be so eager to become the heir of the family. Is this your wish?"

Although Lesctor rarely saw his father and was afraid of Lorist from the bottom of his heart. Lorist threw him at Markke's house to receive strict discipline by Mrs. Markle, and he made a mistake in Nicole Academy. Lorist ordered Reddy to strip him naked and slapped him thirty whips in public, and then threw him back to Fenglin Villa with blood and scars all over his body. These lessons were deeply remembered in his heart. Even though Lorist asked him happily, he still felt chills all over and could not stop trembling...

Under the contempt of Lorist's eyes, Lescott remembered his mother's instructions and the words that General Hanks cheered him up. No matter what you say, you are also His Highness's eldest son. His Highness would not give Lescott any words you do, and he said that he was the courage to speak: "Mother, Mother and Hanks, Uncle Hanks said, "I am the natural heir to the Norton family, and everything in the Norton family belongs to me. No, no one can, can be compared with me..."

"Born Norton's heir?" Lorist burst into laughter and stretched out a hand. Tager walked over and placed a scroll on Lorist's hand.

"If I lose contact with my family territory, you come out and claim that you are the heir to the Norton family. I don't blame you at all. My dear son, as a man, it is right to have ambitions, but he will do whatever he wants, and that means you are a fool who doesn't have any brains."

Lorist opened the scroll in his hand: "It's been seven months since you came to Rage Bear City? Let me see what you did in these seven months...

Wow, you did a great job. In seven months, you played and raped twenty-one maids in the city lord's mansion, killed four servants, and one was a chef. Because the venison he roasted was not as good as your taste, you argued with you for a few words and drew your sword to kill him, and threw his head into the fire. For you, your Uncle Hanks specially issued a ban order and buried the body in the garden...

By the way, you also wrote a letter to Chenxi Academy, asking Chenxi Academy to tie up your cousin Heriles and hand it over to you so that you can avenge the revenge of him at Nico Academy that he stopped you from teasing and molesting your half-sister. Chenxi Academy rejected your request. You were furious and asked the First Legion of Guards to attack Chenxi Academy, but the same was rejected by your cousin Chrisya. So you cursed at your cousin at the lord's mansion...

Well, since you can't call on the First Legion of Guards commanded by your cousin Krisya, you will send the guards formed by Uncle Hanks for you to capture Mrs. Malek's family, and want to repay her strict discipline for you, right? Fortunately, Mrs. Malek's family got the news and left the manor first, and your guards burned down the manor given to the Knights of Malek to vent their anger...

Also, in seven months, you left the City Lord's Mansion four times. These four times you stole three women and killed two women's families. You drove a carriage on the bustling streets in the city and injured more than ten people. At the same time, you ordered all those who opened a shop in the city to offer you rare and fun treasures to you before allowing them to continue to operate...

My dear son, I really admire you. You have done something I have always wanted to do but have not done. I have long hoped to be as rampant as you, and no one dares to control men and women. But I dare not do this like you. Do you know why? Because if I do this, your grandfather and my father will hang me on the spot to avenge the ancestors of the Norton family.

Your mother's spoiling and indulgence on you since childhood have raised you into a monster covered in human skin. You have no tolerance and humanity. As your father, I decided to correct the mistakes I made. First of all, I will deprive you of the surname Norton. You do not deserve this great and glorious surname. It is your actions that have cast shame on this noble surname. At the same time, I will learn from my father and your grandfather. I will make all your sins clear and hang you on the gallows. Anyone who defils the glory of the Norton family will receive the punishment they deserve..."

Lorist calmly announced the charge of his eldest son and the punishment he was about to receive. The fat Lesctor, who was pale and retreated. He never dreamed that all his actions were under Lorist's gaze. He looked at the family officials present, and no matter who they were, he felt that they were the informant.

"Father, father, spare me, forgive me..." Lesctor didn't know what he had to mix up and sat on the ground. Then a stinking stinking of urine came, and he actually had incontinence.

"Your Highness! You can't do this. This is your Majesty's will. Your Majesty appointed Lesctor as the heir to the Norton family. You have no right to deal with him!" General Hanske rushed to Lesctor, took out the second His Majesty's will from his arms and shouted excitedly.

"Your Majesty's will?" Lorist chuckled: "Are you joking? Or did I hear it wrong? Baron Hanks, when can Your Majesty directly interfere in the internal affairs of my Norton family? Especially since my family head is still there, Your Majesty can designate who is my family heir? Could it be that Your Majesty wants to break up with the nobles of the entire kingdom and then break out of civil war?"

"That's because His Highness was seriously injured in the duel between Storm Sword Saint and lost information with the family. Just in case, we asked His Majesty to appoint Leskert as the family heir to supervise the family territory when His Highness is away..." Chief Hanske argued.

"Just in case? It turns out that Baron Hanks has been cursing me to die sooner," Lorist said a little heartbroken, but it is true. When he was promoted to the sword saint, Lorist could live at least two or three hundred years old, just like the Flying Fire Sword Saint who had been living in seclusion in the Kingdom of Chigda. It is said that he has lived in his 260s. If Lesctor cannot become the sword saint, even if he is Lorist's son, he will only age faster and die earlier than Lorist.

"So Baron Hanske can let the soldiers of the guard team take the great sword masters who want to assassinate me to find my whereabouts. They would rather expose the family's most secret production and training base, and let a large number of top-secret drawings and materials related to our family's future fall into the hands of the enemy. Nearly two thousand most loyal soldiers of the family sacrificed their lives to protect the family's secrets..." Lorist's tone was already full of anger.

"I, I just try my best to maintain the security and stability of the family territory and help Master Leskert supervise the family's internal affairs. I am loyal to..." General Hanske was still defending.

"Loyalty? Haha, are you worthy to mention this word?" Lorist sneered: "What qualifications do you have to supervise family administration and territorial affairs? I don't remember what position I entrusted you. The Golden Knight who was under house arrest, took over the troops as his warrant, attacked the administrative capital of the family territory, closed the border passages of the family territory, cut off the supply of food and wages for the family armed outside, and buried Lesctor's evil deeds. Is this a manifestation of loyalty to the family? If so, I'm sorry, I don't need such loyalty. In my perception, this is rebellion!"

"Take all these rebellions, and I will disclose their rebellious crimes and punish them!" Lorist ordered coldly, watching the guards take General Hanske, Leskert, and those who have been called.

Krisya walked up and said, "Sorry, Locke, I don't know what Lescott did. If I knew, I think I would stop him. But do you really want to deal with him? He is your eldest son..."

Lorist was silent for a while with a gloomy face, and finally spoke: "The prince breaks the law and is the same as the people!"
