Chapter 19 Meeting Disputes
January 10, 2018, Tokyo, Japan, Peak Shrine.
Sitting at the end, he closed his notepad and glanced at the people on either side of the conference table.
It's 4 o'clock in the morning.,The Usami family, which should have been shrouded in sleep.,But because of the unexpected incident just now.,Forced to hold an impromptu meeting.,Including the eldest family.,All the heads of the three families and the four small surnames are present.γ The conference room was filled with whispered discussions, and everyone was uneasy, except for Shui Yuewu, who was sitting at the end of the conference table, calm.
"Ahem, gentlemen, please be quiet. The head of the Koike family stood up and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"I'm sorry to interrupt before the meeting starts, but what I want to say is about the issue of the Five Monarchs of the Water Moon serving as the temporary head of the Water Moon Family. In the speech of the head of the Koike family, everyone's eyes converged on the body of Shuiyue Go.
Shui Yuewu got up and bent slightly to everyone.
The head of the Koike family continued: "I feel very saddened by the death of the former head of the Suizuki family, although the Suizuki family is only a small surname, but the family must not be left without an owner! Not to mention that now is a crisis time for the big family, we must nominate a candidate who can participate in the vote. As for Shuiyue Wu, although he didn't pass the family's reagent test, he is still the best among the younger generation of the Shuiyue family, so I recommend that Shuiyue Wu be the temporary head of the family!
After speaking, there was another burst of discussion, and the first to express her opinion was Li Yu Momoko, as the head of the Li family, and the wife of the patriarch, she has the absolute right to speak to a certain extent.
"I agree, Shui Yue-kun has a calm personality and is fully qualified to serve as the temporary head of the family. β
The wife of the eldest patriarch has expressed her opinion, and others must have agreed, and in this way, this young man, who is only 24 years old, has become the youngest head of the family in the history of the Shuiyue family. Although it was temporary, since he could sit in this conference room, he would not be too far away from becoming the official head of the family.
The head of the Koike family nodded and said, "Okay, then the meeting begins." Let me first tell you what I know, at 1:21 a.m., the family ice cellar was invaded, and our samurai [Phoenix Tail], that is, Miss Yu, fought against the invaders with all their might, but they still let the other party escape. Everyone, please note that this is not the point of my remarks, because on my way to the shrine, I saw with my own eyes the seriously injured Yuu-san!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room exclaimed.
The head of the Kazama family said, "How is it possible? That's Hoyo-sama, how can you be seriously injured?" Koike-san, maybe you are wrong......
"No! I had the same suspicions as everyone else at first, but unfortunately, it was Miss Yu herself. Moreover, I also checked with the eldest lady later. β
As he spoke, the head of the Koike family glanced at the red-haired girl sitting in the corner.
The head of the Kazama family then shouted, "How could it be? Who could have injured Lord Toyoo!? I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!"
"That woman is the most powerful person I've ever seen, no, I shouldn't call her a 'human', in my heart Lord Fengwei has long been the god of our family!" another head of the family said he didn't believe it.
The calm conference room was out of control, and the head of the Koike family raised his hand and shouted: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, please be quiet! This is already an unavoidable fact! Miss Yu was indeed defeated by the invaders, and what we should be arguing about now is not this, everyone knows that the [Ice Cellar] has always been the place where the family keeps the top secret, in the early years, the YF reagent of the family income was stored there, it is a natural cold place, even the dead can be stored in it for more than 200 years!"
"The [Ice Cellar] belongs to the top secret of the family, and only those who have a special black card can enter, and the black card is only qualified for those who are in the family of the patriarch. The head of the Koike family changed his words, looked at Usami Kuo who was sitting at the top of the conference table, and suddenly asked, "Patriarch, please forgive me for being unreasonable, but this is a matter of the survival of the family, please tell us what exactly is placed in the ice cellar? As the heads of the Usami family, we have the right to know what it is?"
Usami Kuo frowned, his big thick hands had not been open since the meeting, he knew that since the ice cellar had been invaded, the contents would definitely be suspected, and that plan would also be pushed by the public in the world.
There could not be such a coincidence, the coming-of-age ceremony is just around the corner, how could the ice cellar be attacked at this time? Ichiyu Sami Kuo's eyes suddenly turned cold, and an idea came to his mind.
Someone wants to sabotage the plan!
At the same time, the head of the Koike family was still asking, "Patriarch, please give a positive answer!"
Hisao slowly got up, glanced at everyone, and said, "I feel very sad about tonight's events. But the secret of the ice cellar, gentlemen, I'm sorry. β
"Patriarch! The head of the Suizuki family is dead! Just die on that ice city! Indeed, we are only a subsidiary family of the Usami family, and we have no right to ask about these things, but the situation has reached this point, do you still plan to hide it?" The head of the Koike family slapped the table with both hands, and his face was grim.
"Master Koike, please calm down first! I'm not trying to hide it, but the time is really not ripe, and besides, isn't there nothing to lose in the ice cellar?"
"There is no loss?Is the head of the Shuiyue family dying in vain like this?We are indeed just a small surname, but you can't, you can't do this......"
"Shut up!" Usamikuo was furious, since he couldn't solve this matter calmly, he could only use violence.
"Koikeji! Pay attention to your words, I haven't abdicated yet! At this moment, I am still the patriarch of Usami! I am also very uncomfortable with the matter of the head of the Suizuki family, but you are here to say some gossip that does not exist! Someone! Invite the head of the Koike family out!
"What?Family Law!?Patriarch, you actually want to use family law on me?" said the head of the Koike family's expression gradually became hideous.
He laughed and said: "Haha, my Xiaochi family has been conscientious about the family since its existence, but I didn't expect it to end up in the hands of my own family in the end!"
"Don't say it, take him to the "black room" and let him calm down!" Usami Kuo waved his big hand, and immediately someone came in from outside, clamped the arms of the head of the Koike family, and carried him out.
"You can't do this to me, you can't do this to me! let go of meβ"
A moment later, the shouts of the head of the Koike family disappeared at the end of the hallway.
There was silence in the conference room, and since then, no one has dared to speak.
"Gentlemen, who still has a problem now?"
Naked threats. Obviously, no one answered. With the example of the head of the Koike family, no one dares to stand up even if there is a stomach of doubts now.
Usami Kuo took a breath and looked around the conference room, all of them with stiff expressions. The worst happened, as the patriarch of Usami, he knows very well what it means for such a situation to happen in a family, which means that the family is not far from extinction, but there is no way, he has already chosen, there is no way back, there is an ancient saying in Huaxia: there is no turning back arrow when opening a bow. The current Usami family is in such a state.
But he believes that the sacrifices of the present are all for the sake of future success. As long as that plan succeeds, Usami will inevitably turn over and become the world's number one family.
Hisao sighed slightly, and just as he was about to announce the end of the meeting, the young man sitting at the end suddenly spoke.
"Patriarch, can you let me say a few words. β
For this polite temporary head of the Suiyue family, Usami Kuo didn't have much impression, he thought it was just a "vase" elected by the crowd, but he didn't expect that Shuiyue Wu actually asked to speak at this time.
Glancing at his wife beside him, Rie Momoko nodded at him, the two had a tacit understanding for many years, and his wife was telling him that there was no problem with Shuiyue Wu.
"Okay, let's talk about it. β
Shui Yuewu got up, and today he was still wearing a dark blue suit, with gold-plated cufflinks shining in the dark.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although I was temporarily elected to this position, I still want to express some of my opinions. After this incident, everyone must have been skeptical of the patriarch's decision, but I would like to say that such suspicions are absolutely fatal. β
"Have you ever wondered who the intruder is tonight?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately frowned. That's right, everyone was immersed in Usami Kuo's concealment of this, but they didn't think about who the intruder was tonight?
"Could it be other families? have been planning for a long time to spy on the contents of the ice cellar. A head of the house said.
Shui Yuewu shook his head and said, "Obviously, this is impossible. As far as I know, Toyoo-sama has already subverted Japan's underground forces ten years ago, and even if other families rise in ten years, it is impossible for a descendant to have the power to overwhelm Toyo-sama. β
Everyone nodded silently, indicating that they agreed with this point of view, they are all the older generation of the family, and they are very clear about this place where they have lived for decades, who is the real dragon and who is the head snake.
"Let me tell you what I think. I think the invaders this time are from Dugu. β
The head of the Kazama family interrupted: "No, it shouldn't be Dugu, they plan to destroy our family at the coming-of-age ceremony, how can they come to invade the ice cellar?"
Mizutsuki Wu smiled, groped for the right cuff with his left hand, and asked rhetorically: "Master Kazama, if it were you, would you believe those evil ghosts who crawled out of ukiyo-e? Obviously, this is impossible! The thoughts of evil ghosts are only known to them, and no one knows what they are going to do, this is the opinion I want to express." What we need to do now is not to doubt the attitude of the patriarch, but to pick up the knife in our hands again and meet the demons that are coming. β
"Well said. As he spoke, there was a round of applause from Usami Kuo.
Immediately afterwards, all the heads of the family also nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with Shui Yue Wu's statement.
In this way, Shui Yuewu took a seat steadily in applause.
"It's worthy of being the leader of the new generation!Mizuki-kun, please keep up your efforts, I'll pay attention to you in the future!" said Usami Kuo.
Shui Yuewu immediately got up, nodded and shouted, "Yes!"
Usami Kuo glanced at his wife next to him, nodded with satisfaction, motioned for Mizuki-go, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, what I want to express, Mizuki-kun has made it very clear, I hope you can understand me, I promise you that after this coming-of-age ceremony, all problems will be solved, before that, let's defend our family together!"
