"When will it be your turn to make the decision in the Asmus family? Do you think whoever you want to sit in this position will take this position?"
Laimontov smiled contemptuously and said: "The patriarch of the family has always been elected jointly by the eleven of us. Now that Pushkin is not here, it will naturally be elected by the ten of us. Even if he is here, he cannot change this result.
The ten of us unanimously elected Maxim. Wasn't that the case at the beginning? Otherwise, it would not be you sitting in this position, but me. Brother, are you right?"
Olga gritted his teeth and smiled coldly, "Okay, very good, someone is better than someone who is good at it. Maxim, is this what you mean?"
Maxim stood up in a hurry and said: "Father, I...I never thought about it that way. All along, I just wanted to do something for the family. It doesn't matter to me whether I sit or not. Father, I definitely don't."
Such delusions.”
"Don't be too pushy. You are unanimously elected by all of us, and you should be merciful. Although the family is temporarily stable, there are still many things that have not been settled. You have the ability, why don't you stand up and take on this responsibility?
If you don't take this position, it will only cause the family to fall apart, and others will take advantage of it."
There was a proud smile on Laimontov's lips.
I think back then, he had the highest reputation in the family and was the best candidate to succeed the Asmus family patriarch. It was almost a certainty, but at the last moment, I don’t know what means Olga used.
Eight of the responsible persons were on his side.
Over the years, he has endured humiliation and hardship just to avenge his previous shame.
Now, how could he miss such a rare opportunity? He just wanted to dismount Olega.
Not only that, he also wanted to provoke conflicts between father and son and make them kill each other.
The house of ruthless emperors has been in the family since ancient times.
From the moment he was deprived of the position of patriarch by Olega, Laimontov no longer had any affection for them. All he had was hatred, deep hatred.
"Second Uncle, if you do this, aren't you trapping me in a place of disloyalty, injustice, kindness and filial piety?" Maxim looked embarrassed, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
If he hadn't done this intentionally, and with Montov's instigation, how could there have been such a scene today?
However, I don’t know whether Laimontov used Maxim to take revenge, or whether Maxim used Laimontov to seize the throne.
"For the future of the family, how can this be said to be disloyal, unjust, benevolent and unfilial? This is a sign of great benevolence, great loyalty and great filial piety." Goncharov said.
The rest of the people also agreed.
Goncharov has always been Oleg's man and his most loyal supporter. At this time, he naturally has to step forward to let Maxim sit on the position of patriarch smoothly.
"It seems that you have already discussed it, so I have nothing to say." Oleg smiled coldly. She turned to look at Maxim, "You are really my good son."
After that, Olega got up and left angrily.
"Brother, you actually want to scheme against your father, you are really worse than a beast." Janis snorted angrily and left immediately.
What made him angry was naturally not that Maxim had taken the throne, but that he had lost the qualification.
Originally, he imagined that the transaction would go smoothly, build up his reputation in the family, and then win over Pushkin and get everyone to support him in taking the position of patriarch. Who would have thought that the transaction failed, he was trapped in the palace, and he almost lost his life?
. Although I came out safely, things have changed.
"You guys, how could you do this? How can I get along with my father in the future?" Maxim shook his head and sighed.
Most of these powerful people are hypocritical people.
He says one thing with his mouth, but thinks another in his mind.
"Maxim, if I'm not my second uncle, I'm telling you, how can you stick to these things when doing big things? If your father hadn't used some tricks back then, how could it have been his turn to sit in this position? Besides, he had already shied away from this matter.
It is a responsibility that cannot be relinquished. We elected you to sit in this position because you have this ability, and we also hope that you can lead our Asmus family to become stronger and stronger. Now that it has become a fact, you should think about what to do next.
"Come to Montov, he lit a cigar and took a long puff. The bad breath in his heart finally came out.
However, this is not enough.
"Yes, although we have overcome this difficulty now, many things have not been truly resolved, and the burden on you is not light. Chief, we are all following you, and there are so many brothers, how can you
You can't let us down," Goncharov agreed.
After pondering for a moment, Maxim took a deep breath.
"Well, since you all support it, I have no choice but to do it. Anyway, let's solve the current matter first. As for the position of clan leader, we can choose another worthy person in the future."
"Ahem!"
Maxim coughed twice, and the hypocritical words seemed very wise to him.
"Although we took back our original territory from the Andrei family and the Kozlov family, we have developed a quarrel with them because of this matter. With our own strength, we have to fight against the two major families.
, obviously it is not possible. Therefore, I think the first thing we have to do next is to negotiate with the two families to resolve this conflict first, even if it means paying a little price and loss. Only in this way can we give
We have enough time to develop."
"The second thing is about Yang Ling. The actions of the Andrei family and the Kozlov family must have been directed by him, and he is also our biggest enemy. As long as we can stabilize their two families, Yang Ling alone can
We can handle it on our own. After all, his power lies in China. So, the second thing is to deal with him."
"No!"
Laimontov waved his hand.
"There is an old saying in China, which is that when fighting against foreigners, you must first make peace at home. Although you have now taken the position of clan leader, your father and brother will never let it go. I know your father very well, and he is my eldest brother.
We have been together for a long time. If you want to secure this position, the first thing you should do is to get rid of all those who oppose you."
Maxim couldn't help but be stunned and looked at him in astonishment.
"You...you want me to...?"
Although he has the intention to seize power, he has no intention of killing his father and brother; otherwise, why would he rescue Johnny?
However, once you take the first step in some things, you are often not able to make the decision yourself.
This is what happens when people are in the arena and cannot help themselves.
