Chapter 1377: Goode’s Confidence/ To the Lancer Family
Chapter 1509: Goode’s Confidence
Goode almost burst with rage when he listened to the gray-suited elder’s words. However, it was his father who was talking to him, so he forced himself to say, “Yes, Grandpa Changster is right. I will not be so reckless next time. ”
The elder in the gray suit snorted coldly to demonstrate his authority. Goode hated it even more and gritted his teeth. I am afraid that this group of old bastards is mocking me, hoping that I’ll humiliate myself so that their grandchildren can be promoted.
Elder Changster’s words resonated with another elder. His grandson was also an outstanding person in the family and was not inferior to Changster’s grandson. Therefore, no one knew who would emerge victorious if Goode couldn’t inherit the family’s master position!
This elder is Elt’s Uncle, Ma Deman. He was already dissatisfied with Elt being the family master! He could not say anything when Elt’ s father was the family master, as they were brothers and Elt ‘s father also had outstanding capabilities. However, these old fellows in the family began to stir after Elt’s father died.
These old fellows started to plan for their descendants especially when Elt cultivated Goode to be the next family master. Everyone has the blood of the Douglas Family. For what reason can this idiot Goode inherit the position of the family master?
Of course, Goode was not terrible. He was just somewhat impulsive. But which young man could guarantee that he wouldn’t act on impulses when it comes to emotional problems? If it were Elder Changster’s grandson or Elder Ma Deman’s grandson, they wouldn’t be any better. However, unfortunately, they had not encountered such problems yet. Therefore, Goode became the target of criticism.
“Elt, although our Douglas Family has a lot of power in Ello Town, there is absolutely no need to be enemies with the transcendental assassin family ─ the Butterfly Family. This will bring disaster to our Douglas Family!” Elder Ma Deman said ambiguously, but the meaning in his words was obvious. He would be the first to oppose if the Douglas Family wanted to stick up for Goode.
“Uncle Ma Deman knows how to joke. Although our Douglas Family had grown rapidly in these recent years, I am not arrogant enough to think that we can rival the Butterfly Family,” Elt smiled and said. “Without a doubt, we would just be attempting the impossible if we troubled the Butterfly Family. It would be a pyrrhic victory even if we were able to take advantage. ”
Even though Elt was furious and wanted to tear Wang Ruoshui the woman who beat his son till he was almost disfigured, into pieces, his rationality told him that it was not feasible to do so! The Butterfly Family was not an ordinary small family, nor a pushover. He couldn’t simply seize it just because he wanted to!
Perhaps the Douglas Family’s devastating hitmen might be able to fight desperately with the Butterfly Family, but this was clearly the worst move. Elt was not stupid enough to use the entire family’s forces to stick up for his son.
Only one sentence out of a thousand words was clear; the Douglas Family could not stick up for Goode even if they wanted to do so.
“I won’t speak further since you have already understood.” Elder Ma Deman said nothing more as he had achieved his goal.
“Father, rest assured! I won’t make things difficult for you and the elders this time!” Goode had anticipated this situation today. He had never expected the Douglas Family to stick up for him! His last hope was the Lancer Family and his grandfather who had always loved him since young!
Thomas extremely loved his grandson Goode because of Goode’s mother. She was Thomas’ daughter who had died of dystocia while giving birth to Goode. He turned the pain of losing his daughter into an indulgence toward Goode!
Goode believed that the Lancer Family would definitely stick up for him as long as he asked his grandfather for help.
“Oh? Then you …” Elt stared at Goode in feigned surprise. Actually, Elt had already anticipated what Goode would do next when Goode said his sentence! However, Elt did not mention it directly; he wanted Goode to say it himself!
Elt also realized that it was a good opportunity for Goode to stand out in the Douglas Family! The Douglas Family had gradually expanded over the years with the Lancer Family’s support, and had become the first ranked family in Ello Town! Of course, most people in the family thought that this was Thomas’ compensation toward the Douglas Family because Elt had never remarried!
Only Elt knew in his heart that there wouldn’t be much difference whether or not he married again! The reason Thomas fully supported the Douglas Family was that Goode was the first heir of the Douglas Family!
To help the Douglas Family was tantamount to helping his beloved grandson. Therefore, Thomas wouldn’t hold back! However, no one in the Douglas Family knew Thomas’s love toward Goode because he had only secretly commanded the Lancer Family to take extra care of the Douglas Family.
The old fellows of the Douglas Family had only tolerated Elt being the family master all this while because they had seen the benefits brought to the Douglas Family by the Lancer Family in these years. If not for this, perhaps Goode would have been restless as the family master’s heir!
Now, this was a good opportunity for Goode to quickly establish authority within the Douglas Family. As long as he asked Thomas to let the Lancer Family resolve the enmity between Goode and the Butterfly Family, he could let the Douglas Family see Thomas’ support toward Goode!
By that time, perhaps Changster and Ma Deman would no longer have the thought of promoting their grandsons as heirs. Even if they agreed, the rest of the Douglas Family would not agree.
No one was a fool. The Douglas Family could only continue to receive the support of the Lancer Family if Goode was in power. The benefits they “I’m going to the Lancer Family to visit Grandpa’s place.” Goode said, “I’m one of my would get would not be small.
grandpa’s most beloved descendants. Grandpa would definitely stick up for me if I’m bullied!”
Elt was not at all surprised by Goode’s words as he had already guessed Goode’s idea. The Douglas Family was afraid to trouble the Butterfly Family, but the Lancer Family was not.
However, Elder Changster, Elder Ma Deman, and all the Douglas Family members looked at Goode in shock! They were not surprised because they heard the name of the Lancer Family. Everyone knew the relationship between Goode and the owner of the Lancer Family! But they did not think that Thomas would stick up for Goode!
Of course, the Lancer Family’s care toward the Douglas Family over the years was obvious to all. However, to take care of and to stick up for were two completely different concepts!
In everyone’s eyes, the Lancer Family’s care toward the Douglas Family was entirely because Elt missed his dead wife and had never remarried. Therefore, Thomas took care of him, allowing the Douglas Family to rise rapidly and become the most prominent family in Ello Town aside from the Butterfly Family.
However, these people did not think that the Lancer Family would stick up for Goode. Maybe the Lancer Family would easily help Goode if he had offended a small family, but he had offended the Butterfly Family. They were an assassin family that had a transcendent status in European upper society!
Is it possible for the Lancer Family to fight against the Butterfly Family because of an ancillary relative? It seems impossible, right? There may be such a possibility if Goode’s mother had not passed away, but she had died long ago. Logically, the bond between Thomas and him is long gone, so how could Thomas stick up for him?
“This can only be solved by your grandfather ─ my father-in-law!” Elt was very satisfied with the people’s expressions. Goode’s status in the Douglas Family would become a foregone conclusion once Goode had successfully asked for the Lancer Family to stick up for him!
What would it indicate if the Lancer Family still stood on Goode’s side even when he had provoked such a strong opponent? It showed that Thomas truly supported his grandson and that Goode must be the family master if the Douglas Family wanted to grow!
Otherwise, not to mention any support by the Lancer Family, Thomas might even trouble the Douglas Family in anger if he saw that Goode was not the family master.
Chapter 1510: To the Lancer Family
“I think that everyone has no opinion on Goode’s suggestion, right?” Elt glanced at the people in the meeting room one by one, especially staring at Elder Changster and Ma Deman before asking.
“I have no objections if the Lancer Family can support Goode!” Elder Changster knew that he had to speak when he saw Elt looking in his direction. He was the oldest elder, so the others wouldn’t be able to speak if he doesn’t speak first.
However, Elder Changster was skeptical in his heart when he spoke these words. Will the Lancer Family go against the Butterfly Family just for Goode? The Lancer Family and the Butterfly Family have worked together for decades, right?
“I have no opinion,” Elder Ma Deman said after he saw that Elder Changster had spoken. “But I am afraid that the Lancer Family will not stick up for… us.”
There was a trace of distrust on Elder Ma Deman’s face. Everyone who heard it knew that the “us” in his words referred to Goode himself, meaning that Elder Ma Deman didn’t believe that the Lancer Family would stick up for Goode.
“Goode is the future family master of our Douglas Family. He is also the grandson of the current Lancer Family master, so I think the Lancer Family will certainly lend a helping hand.” Elt glanced at Elder Ma Deman. How could he still be unclear of Elder Ma Deman’s intentions? So, he refuted Elder Ma Deman.
Sure enough, Elder Ma Deman’s expression suddenly changed after he heard Elt’s words. He had never expected Elt to say such words. Isn’t this showing that Goode is definitely going to be the next family master with the support of the Lancer Family?
However, he immediately realized that this matter had a dependent aspect, and it would be a good excuse for later troubles, so he wasn’t annoyed anymore. Elder Ma Deman slowly said, “Yeah, Young Master Goode will naturally be capable of becoming the next family master if he has the Lancer Family’s full support! ”
The implied meaning of Elder Ma Deman’s words was very obvious. If the Lancer Family did not help Goode this time, then Goode would not be able to fight for the family master seat in the future.
Elt cursed this old fox Ma Deman after listening to his words, he really is insidious to actually force me to make such a statement. However, the previous words were spoken by Elt himself. Elder Ma Deman had simply taken his words and extrapolated them. It was truly inappropriate for Elt to refute. He could only say, “Of course, it can be considered as a challenge for Goode! You can’t truly grow without real experience! ”
“Father and elders, please rest assured! You definitely will not be implicated by the enmity between the Butterfly Family and me!” Goode stood up and nodded to everyone present, “I will leave for the Lancer Family now. Please await the good news! ”
Elt nodded his head. Maybe this matter wasn’t a bad thing after all. If Thomas could help Goode go against the Butterfly Family, it would be beneficial for both Elt’s family interests and Goode’s status in the family.
He started to have some expectations as he thought of this. This kid’s actions of offending the Butterfly Family seemed to be an opportunity.
Compared to Elt’s excitement, Elder Changster and Elder Madman who had ulterior motives felt somewhat heavy in their hearts.
On one hand, they didn’t want the Lancer Family to stick up for Goode. This way, Goode would completely lose his competitive ability, and his heir’s identity would automatically be given up.
But on the other hand, they hoped that the Lancer Family could help stick up for Goode. After all, he was a member of the Douglas Family. Regardless of Goode’s contradictions within the family, they were still a unified entity in the eyes of outsiders! It would be very shameful if the Douglas Family chose to forgive when they were bullied by others.
If the Butterfly Family could bully the Douglas Family once, then there would definitely be a second time and a third time! Even the other families would bully the Douglas Family. Everyone in the Douglas Family couldn’t help but feel sad. Although it was Goode who got injured this time, then would one of them or their descendants be the victim next time?
Most importantly, they wanted to see the Lancer Family’s attitude toward the Douglas Family! If the Lancer Family could stick up for the Douglas Family this time, it would indicate the final stance of the Lancer Family! Then they had to consider supporting Goode because only Goode could lead the Douglas Family to receive the most benefits from the Lancer Family.
Everyone’s gaze changed as they watched Goode’s figure leave the conference room. Goode must have a certain degree of assurance to persuade the Lancer Family to help since he was so confident. For a moment, Goode’s status had clearly improved in the family.
“Hehe, maybe everyone still doesn’t know, right?” Elt looked at the people’s expressions, and he was very satisfied, “This kid, Goode, is actually the most beloved grandson of my father-in-law, Thomas. This kid always left home for a short time during the Chinese New Year. In fact, he did not go out to fool around but to respond to his grandfather’s invitation to live with and accompany him in the Lancer Family for some time.
“Ah!” Even Elder Changster and Elder Ma Deman were shocked as soon as Elt said this. It turns out that Goode has such a good relationship with Thomas? So this time … I am afraid that the future family master will certainly be Goode!
“Well, let’s end this meeting and quietly wait for Goode’s good news!” Elt casually stretched. “Although the Douglas Family has remained in the top spot of Ello town these past years, the days were truly unpleasant because of the Butterfly Family eyeing us covetously like an emperor! Maybe it will be better in the future… ”
Elt stood up and walked out of the conference room after speaking. The people behind started to praise Goode enviously, saying that the Douglas Family would become glorious under Goode’s leadership. Their expressions seemed nothing like the gloating faces when they saw Goode injured before!
Elder Changster and Elder Ma Deman knew that the situation was hopeless. It seemed impossible to obtain the position of the heir. However, neither of them would object if Goode could really bring enough benefits to the Douglas Family! They would also receive a lot of benefits as the core elders in the family.
Goode did not delay as he couldn’t bear it anymore! Today, he would return twice, or even five times or ten times the humiliation that the Butterfly family brought on him for him to ease the hatred in his heart.
At the same time as him getting Butterfly Wang, both Wang Ruoshui and Butterfly Wang’s fiance would have to pay a certain price to make them regret their stupidity!
However, Goode never thought that he would not get beaten by Wang Ruoshui or get warned by Yang Ming if he didn’t intrude impolitely into the Butterfly Family and speak unreasonably?
However, many people were often like this. They would only see other people’s faults but not their own fault. They would never reflect on whether they did something wrong and instead blamed all the mistakes on others! They belonged to the type who would rather betray the whole world than be betrayed themselves.
This time, Goode traveled alone without any servants to the Lancer Family. He drove a Hummer off-road vehicle to the Lancer Family that night.
He must let his grandfather look at these shocking injuries on his face before they healed. He believed that his grandfather would definitely be very angry when he sees them. By that time, the Butterfly Family, hehe …
