Muria picked up his communicator, glanced at today's news, smiled slightly, then threw it aside and began to deal with today's family affairs.
"The former 13-year-old Douglas family member was sentenced to 396 years in prison" is a piece of news that is full of impact, explosiveness and full of bad taste.
The funny thing about this news is that the punishment received by this evil boy is 396 years in prison. This sentence and punishment are no different from life imprisonment, it just indicates a specific number.
It can be seen from this that the judge who tried this young man is probably not a very serious guy. Because the life span of a normal human being, even if it is extended with all the efforts of modern medical technology, is only about 120 years.
The Star Armor Master can improve his life level through practice and communication and smelting with his Star Armor Arms. However, this evil boy is only a third-level Star Armor Master. His lifespan is only about 150 years at most. Simply
In other words, even if his lifespan were doubled, he would not live long enough to serve his sentence.
However, Muria underestimated the impact of this incident on the family. As the head of the family, he certainly has the right to directly expel a formal member and kick him out of the family sequence.
However, Muria's behavior can be classified as arbitrary in the eyes of some elders. After all, this matter is neither big nor small. Some elders think that regarding this matter, Muria
More or less, we still need to discuss it with them and hold a brief meeting to discuss it.
…
So, in the family conference room, Muria sat at the highest position in the conference room with a hint of impatience in her eyes, overlooking the other elders.
His real age is now nearly a thousand years old, so he already understands that many things cannot be solved through violence.
For example, his current strength is enough to kill all the elders present, but he still has to sit here and listen to their nagging while these elders put forward their opinions.
"Your Excellency Jaros, I only learned about it after watching the news today that you kicked an official student of our family out of the family." When the elders were basically all present, even those who could not be present in person were all present through projection.
After arriving at the conference room, an elder raised a question.
"Is there any problem?"
"Can you inform us before doing this kind of thing? Or hold a meeting with us to discuss it. After all, a formal member is the most valuable asset to our family no matter what."
"Do you think a person like Orvis can be considered a wealth to the family?" Muria asked calmly.
He had experienced this kind of intentional or unintentional suppression, or beating, many times after he became the head of the Douglas family at the age of twenty-four.
Muria discovered that some elders in the family were trying to oust him, or weaken his rights as the head of the family, trying to make him the apparent force representative of the Douglas family, but that was all.
A family head who has power and fame but no actual rights is the goal that some elders in the family have for his future. Regarding the thoughts of these elders, Muria only wants to talk about these "little" guys.
My brain is flooded.
"Of course not. People like Ovis are a cancer-like existence for any family. Naturally, the sooner they are eliminated, the better."
"In that case, what other opinions do you have? As the head of the family, I don't seem to need to discuss matters of this level with you."
"But like this, the family has kicked out a family member, and as the elders of the family, we only found out about it after the outside media reported it. Don't you think it's a bit excessive?"
"Okay, in that case, I will give you the right to know. If something similar happens again in the future, I will issue an announcement in the family."
Hearing Muria's words, several elders in the conference room twitched their lips. Some didn't know what to say. This was not what they wanted.
"If you just come to me to talk about this, it's a waste of time. Are the elders of the family so idle now? Don't they have anything to do? A meeting is held just because of such a trivial matter."
Muria knocked on the table, frowning slightly, and behind him, as his emotions fluctuated, a huge shadow of the emperor appeared, and a depressing power instantly filled the entire conference room.
middle.
"This..." Seeing Muria's angry impulse, sweat broke out on the foreheads of several elders, because they knew what would happen if Muria got angry.
When Muria just came to the throne, he got angry once. The reason for that anger was simply because the orders he issued at that time were not well implemented.
At that time, three elders were directly deprived of their elder profession by Muria with an extremely tough attitude. They were directly demoted to ordinary family members and rushed back to retire.
It was precisely because of that incident that many elders realized that the position of the family and the strength of Muria itself made all their elders become mere decorations and lost the meaning of checks and balances.
So some elders have the idea of weakening the power in Muria's hands, but so far this idea is just an idea, because they have no way to directly attack Muria.
You can't just say like this, Hey, Lord Genos, the power in your hands is too great, and we feel unsafe, so can you please hand over some of the power in your hands, so that we can feel relieved.
The elders couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if they said this directly to Muria. It was inevitable to offend this powerful and talented head of the family, and it was estimated that a few more would respond.
Home care for the elderly.
So they want to weaken the power in Muria's hands, but they don't want to get angry directly. In this case, they can only pray for him to make a mistake, and then use this as a reason to reduce the power. But unfortunately, although the family leader's acting style
He is extremely domineering, but he has never made any mistakes in handling family affairs.
And this time, strictly speaking, it was just nitpicking on their part, and it wasn't considered a mistake at all.
"Now that this meeting has been held, we have to deal with some practical matters. Let's talk about any important but unresolved matters you have in hand. Bring them out for everyone to discuss."
"I have recently encountered something that is not easy to deal with. In the 13 most influential provinces of Douglas, a large number of alien species have appeared. The mortality rate of ordinary people has skyrocketed. There are even a few extremely
The seeds of outstanding young star armor masters are all dead."
"You mean that the number of alienated species in these provinces has gone out of control? Are you kidding me?"
"What's going on? Shouldn't the alienated species be cleaned regularly? Normally, these alienated species used to train our juniors cannot get out of control."
"So, what I am encountering now is an abnormal situation." The elder who asked the question shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"You mean that someone interfered in these provinces under our rule, so this special situation occurred, right?"
"At the same time, there are problems in thirteen provinces. Only our enemies can do this kind of thing. I don't know which of the three families, or all of them are involved."
An elder sneered and knocked on the table. Of course, the four major families cannot be harmonious. Although they maintain general peace on the surface, secretly the four major families are indeed competing with each other.
The four top families in the federation are fighting each other out of sight of ordinary people, competing for limited resources.
Just like now, other families have caused obstacles for the Douglas family. It has happened countless times in history. Of course, sometimes the Douglas family will also cause obstacles for other families.
"This kind of problem is easy to solve. Just send out a powerful fighting force and use thunderous means to quickly clear out the alienated species in the thirteen provinces."
Hearing this kind of problem, Muria just listened to the elders discuss a few words, and then directly said the simplest and most direct solution. Using force is the simplest, most direct, and most powerful solution to this kind of matter.
"Well!"
"..."
Hearing Muria's words, the conference room fell into a strange silence. Many elders looked at each other, and then they all showed a look that was true. They were not satisfied with Muria's answer.
Accident
Because they can tell from the way the head of the family handles things after he comes to power. The head of the family is a pure force-supreme person who can solve problems with his fists without using his brain.
"Well, Your Excellency, there must be an instigator behind this matter. We can't just simply kill all the alien species that have caused us losses. We must also find out the instigator behind it and take revenge.
"
"Didn't you already discuss it? Apart from the three major families, who else has the courage or the means to stumble us." Muria's eyes showed surprise.
"But we haven't confirmed who it is yet?"
"Since we are not sure, let's take revenge together. We will not let go of any wrongdoers." Muria waved her hand and directly determined the target of revenge, which made the helplessness in the eyes of the other elders even stronger.
"How should we retaliate? Should we also choose to release alienated species into the provinces they control?"
"We do not use such underhanded tactics. We invite them to have an exchange match with members of our family, an exchange match between the new generation of martial arts masters and Star Armor Masters. I believe they will be very interested and will not refuse.
