Alpha and the chief butler appeared in the corridor of the high-rise dining room of Black Chain Castle. Alpha followed the chief butler through the red plush carpet in the corridor. The soft texture under his feet made him feel extremely comfortable, a feeling of rising through the ranks.
"The Duke is waiting for you inside, my lord, the Marquis."
The head butler bowed to Alpha, his eyes not lingering on Alpha. He stretched out his hand to push open the door, and then stood on one side of the door, waiting for Alpha to go in and meet the current head of the Lane family.
Judging from the butler standing by the door, the current Duke of Alsis wants to talk to Alpha alone.
Alpha took a gentle breath of the air in the corridor, and the smooth breath gave his mask-like face a hint of confidence. He stepped in without hesitation. The head butler then closed the luxurious carved wooden door to prevent those who followed Alpha.
When Vera came in, Vera naturally understood what he meant, smiled, and stood on the other side of the door.
This dining room has no windows, and a huge magic crystal chandelier hangs in the center of the dining room. The specially treated magic crystal emits white and bright light, coming towards you like a tide.
Alsasi was sitting behind the tide. Aranza had been to the private dining room of Duke Alsis. When the white light hit his face, he thought he was worshiping the king's throne.
But now, this white light rushed toward Alpha, and he felt that Alsis behind the light was just like him, a liar wearing a mask.
He could not see Alsis under the mask, but Alsis's eyes could penetrate his mask. This was not surprising, they were the same type of people, and Alsis was obviously more sophisticated than Alpha.
Alpha's sight finally adapted to the white light of the crystal chandelier. In front of him was a square dining table with a dazzling array of food, all of which were valuable ingredients. At one end of the square dining table, Duke Alsis remained motionless.
The clean jaw moved up and down, chewing a piece of Warcraft meat in the entrance.
He raised his eyes and looked at Alpha and said: "Sit down, dear Marquis Alpha Lane, oh, how should I put it, you are beyond my imagination."
Alpha did not speak immediately. He sat down at the other end of the square dining table, where the tableware was already placed. Alpha had no intention of eating. He moved the tableware in front of him to the side, then propped his elbows on the table and supported his chin with his palms.
Looks like he's at ease.
"cut!"
Alpha's action made Alsis snort and said, "You have exceeded my imagination once again."
"May I take your words as a compliment?"
"certainly!"
Alsis straightened up and wiped his hands clean with an embroidered white handkerchief. His eyes did not fall on Alpha, but looked at his own hands and said: "You know what it means to convict Elita Lane.
?”
"certainly!"
Alpha answered confidently.
"oh?"
Alsis had a playful look on his face. He glanced at Alpha and said, "You seem to be very confident, but...it seems that the consequences of convicting Elita Lane and the lineage of the founding king cannot be fully borne.
.”
"Of course a single branch can't do anything, but the entire family can."
A flash of light flashed in Alpha's eyes and he said, "And you are the head of our family."
"Indeed."
Alsis didn't have much expression on his face. He threw the handkerchief aside and grabbed a small steak with his hand. He chewed it and said, "But why should I bear this burden for you?"
What about useless things?"
"If it is not the founding king's line that convicts Elita Lane, but the family's tribunal, wouldn't the biggest beneficiary be you?"
"oh?"
The expression on Alpha's face remained the same as he explained: "Elita Lane has violated the rules of the family, but no one wants to touch this reverse scale of the mercenary king line... But this reverse scale, you
Sooner or later it will have to be pulled out."
Alsis did not interrupt, but was chewing the steak in his mouth, but Alpha knew that he was patiently listening to his plan.
"But now is the opportunity."
Alpha strengthened his tone and said: "If we publicly execute Elita Lane, Alanza Tulip will definitely not sit idly by. I know my enemy. He cares too much about his companions, and he will definitely take action."
Save Elita Lane. But in this way, we can move forward and completely prove Elita Lane's guilt... At that time, both Alanza Tulip and Elita Lane stood on the side of the family
They are the opposites of each other, and you, can't you justifiably deal with these two family heirs, and even kill them in one fell swoop?"
This is Alpha's plan. He knows that Alsis wants to kill Aranza and Elita to consolidate his position as head of the family. If Alsis agrees to his plan, the plan will be carried out; if Alsis does not
Agree, Alpha can still escape unscathed, as long as the application to convict Elita is revoked.
"That's a good idea."
Alsis finally nodded, but focused his words on another point, saying: "Execute Elita Lane, haha, you are really bold!"
Finally, Alsis's eyes flashed with light. He looked at Alpha from the corner of his eyes and continued: "It seems that I not only underestimated your brain, but also underestimated your courage."
Before he finished speaking, Alpha knew Alsis's attitude. He stood up, bowed to Alsis, and said: "If you can't swallow these two pieces of meat by chewing slowly, you might as well swallow them in one bite."
, do you think so... It’s a pleasure to cooperate, Mr. Patriarch.”
The next day, Alpha once again appeared in the Council of Elders. This time, he not only brought an application to convict Elita Lane, but also brought Elita to the Council's seat of the Seventh Elder, which had a vacancy.
This was a hoarse debate. Even Elita herself objected that she had followed Alanza Tulip. But after getting rid of her worries about the mercenary king line, Alpha was already unscrupulous, and every evidence he cited was unacceptable.
Arguing, he completely tied Elita to the enemy's chariot, and even the entire mercenary king series was pushed towards the enemy's line by him. What made everyone even more puzzled and angry was that not only did he not worry,
Instead, he showed an attitude of never getting tired of it.
All the elders thought that Alpha was crazy.
But unfortunately, he is so crazy that he is justified.
Later, the meeting came to a new point. Alsis swept away his drowsiness and decided in the name of the head of the family whether to approve Alpha's application.
He rejected the application.
The elders were finally relieved. It turned out that their family leader still knew what it meant to put the overall situation first. However, the next moment, Alsis completely pushed the mercenary group and Ilita into the abyss.
Duke Alsis believed that Alpha's evidence was sufficient, and the reason why he rejected Alpha's application was because the conviction of Elita Lane should not be limited to the line of the founding king and the line of the mercenary king.
He decided to use the family tribunal to publicly convict Elita Lane in the name of the head of the family!
This decision shocked everyone present.
Lampman, who was originally so excited, fell directly into his elder's seat. At that moment, anyone with no eyesight could see that Lampman finally turned into a dying old man.
However, the shock was not over yet.
In the trial court the next day, Elita Lane was convicted of collaborating with the enemy and will be publicly executed!
This means that Alsis personally transformed the conflict that was originally limited to the line of the founding king and the line of mercenary kings into a conflict between the entire family and the line of mercenary kings! Moreover, Alsis did not give any mercenaries to the family.
The Wang family has no room for maneuver!
Lampman seemed to have guessed this result. This time, he did not lose his composure. He just took a deep look at Elita, who was already lost in the center of the court.
The blood on her body is the closest to that of Mercenary King Amy Lane. In the hundred years after the death of Mercenary King, her birth was simply a miracle. She was the hope of the Mercenary King line. I just didn’t expect that she would
It became despair.
This is a cautious but willful child, and Lampman has been pampering her.
Now, the mercenary kings represented by Lampman are pushed onto the single-plank bridge. He has only two choices, either he is willing to jump off the bridge and give up Elita Lane's life; or...walk to the other side of the bridge.
On the one hand, betrayal!
A torrent surged through his heart.
At the moment when the butler announced the execution of Ilita in a loud voice, more people turned their attention to the leader of the mercenary king line - his every thought, and even every move will determine the fate of the mercenary king.
The future of the Wang family.
It turns out that the coldness of this winter is beyond everyone’s imagination.
The news of Elita's execution immediately spread to all parts of the human land. Perhaps the leaders of the major forces did not know Elita Lane, but when they learned that Elita Lane was a bloodline of the mercenary king in the Lane family,
At the most intense moment, they all put on playful expressions.
The major branches are like trees, and the forest they gather together is the family. It doesn't matter if a few leaves are removed from each other, but executing the person with the strongest blood of a branch clearly affects that branch.
It is made by digging the soil and digging the roots.
The news entered Kaye State and reached Norland City on the evening of the next day.
The date for Elita's execution was set for forty days later, as if Alsis and Alpha were worried that some forces planning to take action would not be adequately prepared.
"It's really surprising."
In Aranza's temporary office, Kim Gates put down the paper in his hand. The cold air that had spread throughout the city made his nose and cheeks turn red. He thought for a moment and then carefully glanced at Aranza's face.
, then slowly said: "The Lane family's spearhead seems to be pointing at themselves, but in fact, it is pointing at us."
