Chapter 772 [The battle for the God List, a battle for the future!] Three
When darkness enveloped the entire land of China, it was just noon in London, thousands of miles away.
At noon, there is no sunshine over the city, light rain falls in the sky, and fog envelopes the entire city. The visibility is extremely low, giving people a foggy feeling, and the air is full of moisture.
For London locals, they have long been accustomed to such weather, but for tourists, this weather is really terrible!
The bad weather completely disrupted their travel plans and changed their mood from March to winter.
Not only tourists are in a bad mood, but also Edward Sr., who is known as the godfather of British finance.
Because he received a report from his assistant that the family had a large business to discuss, and also learned that Chen Fan was going to Dalian, Edward Sr. refused the invitation of officials from the Donghai Municipal Committee and Municipal Government to stay, and took a special plane directly back to London.
.
As before, when Edward Sr.'s special plane arrived, the bodyguards of the Knarr family had been waiting for a long time.
After getting off the plane, Old Edward got directly into his Rolls-Royce Silver Phantom and headed to the Knarr Family Castle.
What old Edward didn't expect was that after arriving at the castle, he was forcibly taken to Crewe's villa and put under house arrest!
"Father, have you thought about it?"
In the study room of the villa, Crewe held a cigar in his mouth and said to old Edward with a smile.
"Crew, I will never hand over the position of clan leader to you!" Facing Crew's pressure, old Edward turned pale with anger and trembled all over.
"Father, actually... I do it for your own good. You are old and your body is no longer useful. It is not suitable for you to continue toiling, otherwise you will get sick and you will not be able to make a living." Crewe looked calm, as if everything was in order.
He is under control: "Give up your power and position and leave it to me. I will keep the glory of the Knarr family forever!"
"Stop dreaming, that's impossible!" Old Edward stared at Crewe with his eyes widened, uncompromising at all.
"Father." Seeing that old Edward was obsessed, Crewe put out his cigar, spread his hands, and said: "To be honest, I am very reluctant to have a complete stalemate with you."
Old Edward had an indifferent look on his face and remained silent. It seemed to him that as long as he didn't agree to hand over power, Crewe had nothing to do.
"Perhaps in your opinion, as long as you don't let go, I can't take away the position of the patriarch." Crewe seemed to see through old Edward's thoughts, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and his tone became colder: "Actually... I
I just hope that you can cooperate and save some face for you, but there is nothing you can do. If you really persist to the end, then don’t blame me, your son, for not giving you face!"
"Huh...huh..."
Facing Crewe's naked threat, old Edward almost fainted. He pointed his finger at Crewe and yelled: "Asshole! You bastard!"
"Father!" Crewe said with a cold face and interrupted Old Edward in a deep voice: "Let me ask you one last time, do you want to hand over the position of patriarch or not?"
"Even if I die, I will not hand over the position of clan leader to you!!" Old Edward covered his chest and cursed with a pale face, his attitude was extremely determined.
"Haha...hehehe..." Seeing the determined expression on old Edward's face, Crewe laughed, and his smile was extremely sinister: "Father, I will not hide it from you. Now, among all the core members of the entire family, except
Except for you and Dev, everyone else has chosen to support me, do you think it is meaningful for you to oppose?"
Hearing what Crewe said in shock, Old Edward couldn't help but widen his eyes with an expression of disbelief on his face.
As a family that has been around for hundreds of years, the Knarr family has extremely strict family rules.
Every time the Knarr family changes its patriarch, a family meeting will be held with all core members participating.
During the meeting, the previous family patriarch can designate the leader, and then those core members will directly elect him. If the number of votes is less than half, even the person designated by the patriarch will not be able to become the next patriarch. Instead, he will have to choose from other members.
The election of the successor of the individual clan leader will continue, and the one with the most votes will be qualified as the clan leader!
This means that the person designated by the patriarch has priority in being elected - as long as the person designated by the patriarch does not receive more than half of the votes, other successor candidates will be eligible to be elected!
In the history of the Knarr family, each patriarch has great control over the family, and the patriarch's words basically represent the family's will.
Under such a situation, in the past more than a hundred years, the Kerner family has never usurped power. Basically, the person designated by the patriarch becomes the next patriarch.
Now, Crewe has clearly told Old Edward that all core members support Crewe. How could this not surprise Old Edward?
If it is true what Crewe said, then it is certain that Crewe will become the new family patriarch!
"Impossible!" Surprised, Old Edward shook his head crazily: "They can't all support you!"
"Father, I know that you think in your heart that your direct descendants will not support me." Crewe sneered and said in a tone unique to a winner: "I won't hide it from you. During the few days you go to China,
, I used some small tricks, half of your direct descendants disappeared from the world, and the other half chose to betray you very wisely."
Old Edward's eyes widened.
"Oh, no, there is one person left, um, it's Dev's child." At this point, Crewe smiled again.
He showed the unique smile of a winner!
"You bastard! You will become the sinner of the Knarr family, and you will make the Knarr family fall!!" Facing Crewe with a confident smile on his face, he rationally told old Edward that everything Crewe said was true.
Indeed, he howled loudly.
"Sinner?" Crewe snorted: "I tell you, you are the one who will really become a sinner!"
"You're talking nonsense!!"
Old Edward was completely angry. He stood up from his seat and pounced on Crewe like an angry lion.
next moment.
Before old Edward could take a step forward, he was caught by two Knarr family bodyguards and pinned down on the chair again.
"I admit that during the years when you served as the patriarch of the Kerner family, the family's power expanded again. But... you did something that was enough to ruin the entire family, and it was enough to make you the leader of the family.
Sinner!" Seeing old Edward being pressed down on the chair, Crewe's tone turned completely cold.
"What's up??"
Old Edward stared at Crewe with an angry face, like a mad lion.
"You shouldn't place your family's fate on that Chinese man - you think he can bring huge benefits to the family, but... in my opinion, all he can bring to the family is disaster!" Kruyi
Word by word.
"You fart!"
Old Edward knew that Crewe was talking about Chen Fan, and he was so angry that he cursed.
Because... Old Edward has always felt that Chen Fan becoming his grandson-in-law is the most honorable thing in his life, and it is also a blessing for the entire Knarr family!
But now, Crewe said that he would ruin the entire family because of Chen Fan and become the family's sinner. How could he not be angry?
"Hey! That Chinese man will die soon. How much benefit do you think a dead man can bring to the family?" Crewe asked coldly.
die?
The butcher is dying?!
Hearing what Crewe said, Old Edward was startled at first, then guessed what he was doing, and cursed angrily: "Crewe, you idiot! Although I don't know who told you the news that the butcher is dying, but I hope you move.
Use your stupid brain to think about it, how could the butcher die??"
"He has been sentenced to death, there is no doubt about it!"
Crewe looked at Edward with an idiot look.
"You...you..." Old Edward was so angry that he didn't know what to say. Then he forced himself to calm down. He had already seen that Crewe had learned the news that Chen Fan was about to die, so he dared to usurp power.
After calming down, Old Edward pointed to the crux of the problem: "Crew, it is absolutely impossible for the Butcher to die. His strength is beyond what you and I can imagine. In addition, I want to remind you that he cares about Dave very much. If you let him know
, you want to forcibly take away Dev's identity as the family heir, and you know the consequences very well."
"Haha! Are you threatening me with that dying Chinese? Well, I don't want to argue with you about whether that bastard will die. That will make me feel like it's a waste of time!" Crewe seemed to have lost his patience:
"I won't hide it from you. I didn't seize power by force. I just took a fancy to the network in your hands. If you insist on not handing over power, then I will have to die for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, murderous intent suddenly appeared in Crewe's eyes.
Feeling the killing intent in Crewe's eyes, Old Edward knew that Crewe would really kill him!
"Father, I remember that you have a bad heart." Crewe no longer concealed his murderous intention: "Now that medical science is advanced, it can cure your heart disease, and it can also cause you to have a heart attack."
After the words fell, Crewe took a step forward and stared at Old Edward, as if if Old Edward dared to refuse, he would directly send Old Edward to the West.
Once Edward Sr. dies, he becomes the new patriarch of the Knarr family. The only loss is that the huge network of connections in Edward Sr.'s hands may not fall into his hands.
"Give me three days."
Old Edward was silent for a long time, then spoke slowly, trying to delay time.
"Hey! I know, you are expecting that oriental man to save you!" Crewe was silent for a moment and sneered: "Since you have so much confidence in him, then I might as well give you three days - I will appreciate your despair with my own eyes.
that moment!"
After the words fell, Crewe waved his hand and said without waiting for old Edward to stop talking, "Take him down and hand him over to Dixi!"
Dixi, the King of Ghosts!
After hearing Crewe's words, Old Edward instantly understood the fact: Crewe had colluded with the Dark Ghost!
Just when Old Edward understood this, the two Knarr family bodyguards directly picked up Old Edward without saying a word.
In this regard, old Edward did not resist, he knew that resistance was futile.
As Crewe said, now he places all his hopes on Chen Fan!
At this time, Chen Fan had already learned about Crewe's usurpation of power from Dave.
Nalan family's ancient residence, in the two-story building where Dev lives.
"Dear, I'm sorry..."
After Dafu told Chen Fan the truth of the matter, her face was full of apologies.
"Silly woman." Before Daifu could finish her words, Chen Fan hugged Daifu into his arms: "I know deep down in your heart you don't want to tell me this news. You want me to stay here for a while.
Wan. But...you are worried about ***’s safety and that your family will fall because of this!”
Dev bit her lips tightly, her eyes were red, and her face was full of apology and guilt.
Chen Fan's words expressed her true feelings.
It was too difficult for her to make this decision... too difficult...
After receiving the call before, she thought about it for half an hour and finally chose to tell Chen Fan about the changes in the Knarr family.
"Silly woman, you are my tulip, a tulip that blooms only for me. It is my unshirkable responsibility to protect tulips!" Chen Fan smiled and stroked Dave's head, and said softly: "And...even if
Nothing happened to your family. I will also go to Europe. Now I just leave early. Don’t worry, all the troubles will be solved."
There was no answer. Dave, who was as wise as a monster and had a strong heart, burst into tears.
Chen Fan stretched out his hand and gently and slowly wiped away the tears on Dave's face. Without saying anything, he showed a confident and clean smile to Dave.
Then, he strode away.
Walk extremely resolutely!
Looking at Chen Fan's leaving figure, Daifu opened her mouth and tried to stop Chen Fan, but in the end she still couldn't shout.
ten minutes later.
When Chen Fan walked into the two-story building where Nalan Xiangxiang lived and entered Nalan Xiangxiang's room, Nalan Xiangxiang was already lying on the bed.
"Look, are these paintings good?"
"Tell mom, do you want to learn?"
"If you want to learn, okay, when you are three or four years old, mom will find you the best art teacher, um, she will also find you the best piano teacher, dance teacher..."
Under the light, Nalan Xiangxiang was holding a book of color paintings, browsing, and muttering something to the child in her belly.
Seeing this scene, Chen Fan felt a faint pain in his heart and his face was filled with self-blame.
"Why are you standing there?" As he spoke, Nalan Xiangxiang spotted Chen Fan and said with a smile: "The doctor said that pregnant women who read more colorful paintings during pregnancy can reduce the chance of color blindness in their children."
When Nalan Xiangxiang's words rang in his ears, Chen Fan did not say a word. He walked towards Nalan Xiangxiang with a guilty look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Sensing Chen Fan's abnormality, Nalan Xiangxiang was startled for a moment. Then when Chen Fan was about to walk up to him, she understood something, smiled slightly and said, "Did something happen that I need you to deal with?"
Chen Fan's steps came to an abrupt halt.
Under the light, he met Nalan Xiangxiang's gaze and nodded slightly.
"It's okay. You can go and do your work. You don't have to worry about me." Nalan Xiangxiang glanced at Chen Fan with a smile, then stroked her swollen belly and said, "Dad has to go and do some work. You guys should hurry up."
Goodbye, dad."
Seeing this scene, Chen Fan felt a pain in his heart. He didn't say anything, but squatted on his bed, hugged Nalan Xiangxiang's waist, and pressed his face against her just like he did when he met Nalan Xiangxiang at noon.
On Nalan's fragrant belly.
Nalan Xiangxiang stretched out her hand and gently touched Chen Fan's resolute face: "Go, they and I will wait for you until you come back!"
"Um."
Chen Fan nodded vigorously, then reluctantly left Nalan Xiangxiang's arms and turned around to leave.
The moment he turned around, Chen Fan's body paused for a moment.
