After lingering in the room for a few more moments, Dick went downstairs into the hall, and sure enough, he saw Carl sitting at the long table.

"Dick, you're here!" Karl greeted Dick as he saw Dick.

"Uncle, I heard you're looking for me?" Dick asked.

"Yes, come and sit down!" Karl said, patting a chair beside him.

Karl's attitude seemed very kind, completely different from his usual snarky appearance, which surprised Dick, but he walked over and sat down.

"Dick, I'm not going around in circles, I'm looking for you today, I have two things I want to ask you. As soon as Dick was seated, Karl got straight to the point.

"What's the matter?"

"Dick, the first thing I want to ask you is about my brother's death. Did you notice anything unusual or anything you saw at the time as the first person to discover my brother's body?" Karl asked, staring at Dick with burning eyes.

"What do you mean, uncle?" Karl's first question had already caused Dick to change color.

"Dick, it's just the two of us here, you don't need to be so nervous, relax! Karl saw Dick's angry expression, as if he was about to brush his sleeves away, and hurriedly reassured.

Listening to Karl's words, Dick did not leave immediately, but he still looked angry, and he said indignantly: "Uncle, I don't care what you mean by asking this question, I can only tell you that I have not found anything!"

However, Karl was full of disbelief at Dick's answer, he looked at Dick and said, "Eh, Dick, those guys from the Secret Service couldn't find any clues at the scene, and that's because they're stupid." But uncle, I know you're a very smart person, so you must have found something. ”

"Uncle, I said no! If you still keep dwelling on this issue, then I'll leave. Dick made another gesture to leave.

Seeing this, Karl squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Dick, but he never could see anything from Dick's face, so he hurriedly compromised with Dick: "Okay Dick, this problem is over, uncle has other things to talk to you about." ”

"Say it!" After what had just happened, Dick's attitude had become quite cold at this time.

"Dick, my brother is dead, resulting in many forces outside now coveting the interests held by our blood clan, and even the whole of our blood clan is panicking, so I think at this time there must be a capable person to stand up and lead our blood clan through the current difficulties. ”

Carl said this, without him finishing, Dick had basically understood what he meant, and sneered in his heart, his adoptive father had just died, and Carl was so quick to remember the position of the blood lord, which was too ugly.

"Uncle, what do you mean, we really need to choose a new lord right now?" Dick was already like a mirror in his heart, but he asked deliberately.

"Dick, I'll just say you're smart!!" Karl laughed at Dick, laughing at his laughter.

"Do you have any suitable candidates, uncle?" asked Dick again knowingly.

"The right person?" Karl heard Dick ask himself, and immediately straightened his face, straightened his chest, and said, "Dick, what do you think of my uncle?"

"Uncle, of course you are good, you are my father's younger brother, not to mention that many things in the clan are originally in charge of you, and it is natural for this new lord to let you be the one. But ......"

Dick's words at the beginning made Carl think that Dick was supporting him, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he didn't expect Dick to end with the word "but" in the end, so he hurriedly asked: "But what!"

"But I'm afraid Elder Gna and Liam may not agree!" Seeing Karl's anxious roar, Dick smiled slightly and said the second half of his sentence.

The Elder Gna mentioned by Dick was the other most powerful elder in the Jiangcheng Blood Clan, besides Karl.

Not only that, but if seniority is judged only by age, Gerner is even older than Karl.

However, Karl never saw Gna as his rival, as Gnar was a member of the Sinmorer clan.

The Simor are one of the thirteen clans of the Blood Clan, and belong to the Hidden Alliance, along with the Van Zhuo clan.

The so-called secret alliances, which are commonly known as secret parties.

As the youngest of the Bloodline clans, the original members of the Sinmore were not Bloods, but a group of human mages who longed for eternal life.

It was only later that this group of human magicians did not know what kind of power they used to transform themselves into a blood clan through the use of alchemy and magic, as well as the blood of an Elder Tsmissi.

But it is precisely because the method of becoming a blood clan of the Simor clan is not through the traditional initial embrace situation, so the Simor clan has been the enemy of other blood clans for a long time.

Even to this day, even if the Sinmore clan has made all kinds of outstanding contributions in the heretical annihilation war provoked by the Holy See, so that they have gradually been accepted by other blood clans, in the hearts of the people of other blood clans, they still have a faint hostility towards the Simor clan.

Therefore, it cannot be said that it is completely impossible for a person of the Simor tribe to become a blood lord, but his chance of success is almost equal to zero.

Therefore, when Karl heard Dick talk about Gna, he immediately snorted coldly and said very disdainfully: "That old guy Gna, even if he really wants to fight with me, I'm afraid no one will support him!"

"What about Liam?" asked Dick.

"Liam! Liam is a nuisance!" Karl frowned.

Karl had been the elder of the clan for many years, and was arguably the most powerful person in the clan other than Count Edward, but the people in the clan treated Karl more out of fear for the superiors.

Especially the young people in the clan, because Karl has always been strict, so they are respectful to Karl on the surface, but in fact they are not close to him.

Liam and Carl are different, first of all, Liam, as the son of Count Edward, is not inferior to Carl in terms of identity. Secondly, because of Liam's straightforward personality, he has a large number of fans among the young people of the Bloodline.

If Carl wants to be a lord, Liam will definitely be his biggest obstacle.

However, the melancholy on Karl's face disappeared for a moment, and he soon looked at Dick with a smile on his face and said, "Dick, I came to you to discuss this matter, don't you just want you to help me!"

"Uncle, are you looking for the wrong person? You know that I never interfere in the affairs of the clan. Dick was unmoved by Karl's almost flattering tone, for he knew very well that he was a cheap "uncle", who could call you a brother one second, and stab you in the back the next, a smiling tiger.

"Dick, you are too modest! Although you have not always been very interested in the miscellaneous affairs of the clan, you are not at all inferior to Liam's prestige among the younger generation, so I believe that as long as you are on my side, Liam is not worth mentioning. When the time comes, I'll be the lord, and if you have any requests, you can just ask me. ”

Dick knew that what Karl said was right, and the reward he gave was indeed tempting, but he still did not say anything, because first, he had always been afraid to be interested in these things involving power struggles, and secondly, Carl seemed to be generous, but in fact he just drew a big pie for him, and if Carl really sat in the position of lord, I am afraid that he would not even give him a hair.

The shrewd Karl saw the noncommittal expression on Dick's face, and a fierce gaze immediately flashed in his eyes, and Karl was about to say something, but the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

So Carl had to take out his mobile phone, and when he opened the phone, he found that it was just a text message, but when Carl turned sideways and read the content of the text message, his expression suddenly became a little cloudy.

"Uncle, what's going on?" Dick asked with some curiosity when he saw that the look on Carl's face was not quite right, and he didn't know what Carl saw on his phone.

"Ahh

However, although Karl said this, it didn't seem to be a trivial matter like what he said, because Carl, who was still very eager to get Dick's support, glanced at Dick meaningfully at this moment, and then said lightly: "Dick, I know it's not easy to make you make a choice all at once, so let's go back and think about it, and it's not too late to answer me later." ”

"Uncle Nary, I'll definitely give you an answer after a while. Originally, Dick was still thinking about how to deal with Carl next, but now that he saw that Karl was not in a hurry to force him to stand in line, his heart was immediately relieved, and he didn't care what happened, and got up to leave.

But before Dick's ass left his chair, Liam's familiar shrill voice suddenly sounded in the door of the hall.

"Everyone's here! That's right, let Oliver call one by one!"

Dick and Carl looked towards the door, and sure enough, they saw Liam walking into the hall, followed by a man and a woman, who were the same two officers from the Secret Service who had been there last time.

"What are you talking about?" said Liam, who hurried to the long table, his gloomy gaze sweeping over Dick and Karl's faces.

"Nothing. Karl replied first.

"Hmph, if you don't say it, I also know, isn't it just for the lord's business! But Uncle Karl, Dick is my brother, how can he be co-opted by you, so don't dream, sooner or later the lord's seat will be mine. Liam snorted, glaring at Karl with endless hostility in his eyes.
