The Huwen family's luxury estate Mandala Fort, located on the mountainside of the Imperial Black Mountain, is a mansion that covers thousands of hectares and has only been completed and moved in in recent years. Compared with the ancient manors in Montenegro that have hundreds of thousands of years of history, there is no trace of the vicissitudes of historical subsidence here, and there is a sense of poverty and luxury, exaggeration and display, to put it bluntly, the temperament of the nouveau riche. It's like the explosive rise of the Huwen family.

Not long ago, it was still full of traffic and people, but at this moment, the atmosphere here is like the whole Black Mountain, cold and deserted, depressed and silent.

With the official death sentence of Earl Amanda, Mandala Fort is even more stormy. The Huwen family rose too fast, although it miraculously accumulated huge wealth, but it was strong on the outside, and there was a lack of protection from the top powerhouses within the family, and there was a lack of a strong private army that could deter those with bad intentions.

With the fall of Earl Amanda and the Huwen family, which lost its backers, is simply the best object for careerists from all walks of life. Not to mention those hostile nobles who have long had a gap with the Huwen family, even some bull ghosts and snake gods in the dark world have hit the Huwen family with their ideas.

It was under the watchful eye of this group of wolves, in the face of this life-and-death juncture, that the elders within the family and all the powerful figures gathered all day long for endless meetings to discuss the future of the family. It's just that this discussion has turned into fruitless noise or wordless silence again and again.

Michelle Huwen is the acting patriarch of the family after Amanda. As the head of the family, not to mention how rare this kind of thing is in the aristocratic circle, let's just say that Michelle's age is not right, she is too young, she is only twenty-five years old, even if she is placed in the younger generation of the family, she is not considered the oldest.

In addition to Michelle, who is indeed one of the more talented people in the family, she was able to become the patriarch of this family, completely because she was forcibly pushed up, for several reasons, at this time, the position of the patriarch of the Huvin family is definitely the closest "VIP seat" to the death table, and no one will compete with her for this position at all. Huwen, she is the youngest sister of Amanda Huwen, and she is also the one who looks most similar to the first beauty in the continent, and the elders of the family still have a little hope, hoping that His Majesty the moody Emperor will be able to recall the love of the past when he sees the face of the new patriarch of the Huwen family, and let go of the Huwen family with an old love, of course, if he can re-accept this female version of "Amanda" to replace his brother's position, it will naturally be the most ideal result.

However, this expectation was stillborn before it could be tried, and His Majesty the Emperor had no intention of meeting the new patriarch of the Huwen family at all. And with the fact that the Huwen family has actually only reached the position of earl, and the embarrassing identity of their executioner in the imperial capital, I am afraid that Michel will never have the opportunity to meet that majesty in his life.

What's more, although Michelle is beautiful, there is still a distance from Amanda, and the tyrant emperor can even abandon the first beauty in the continent after having a mysterious interracial beauty, not to mention her low-profile version of the pseudo "Amanda".

Therefore, in the eyes of almost everyone, these small actions of the Huwen family are just the last struggle of the family mansion to collapse.

However, Michelle Huwen was not willing to become a short-lived patriarch who could only wait for the countdown of life, and she didn't want to be full of ambition that she had not yet spent a brilliant life, so she sank with the "Huwen", a broken ship full of holes, so Michelle would take advantage of the great opportunity of no one in the family to pull back her legs, quickly collect all the soft and hard power of the family, and drastically implement her family rescue, which is also a self-help plan.

And the search for the legendary adopted son of the Nibelungen family, who is inextricably linked to his family, is one of Michel's many rescue plans. It's just that her mysterious "nephew" from appearing in the imperial capital to mysteriously disappearing, all this happened too fast, plus the Xiuwen family at that time couldn't imagine that there would be a day when the disaster of extermination would befall them, and they didn't pay enough attention to this matter at all, so they didn't take any action, so that now they can only take the stupidest way to wait for the rabbit to find people, and to this day it is still fruitless, and it can't be counted on at all.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense and depressing, this was the seventh meeting held today, a group of family elders and powerful people were physically and mentally exhausted, huddled in the secret room located under the castle, the foul air, heavy breathing seemed to be the only melody here, it was said that it was a meeting, but most of the time was spent in a dead air.

Michelle sat on the patriarch's seat, swept his eyes, and said, "The people who went to the Marquis John's estate have returned......"

Hearing this, most people just raised their heads slightly, the look of hope in their eyes flashed, and the next moment they returned to listlessness, only a few young people looked at Mihir expectantly, hoping to hear a good news, but Michelle's next sentence completely extinguished the flame of hope that they were already dying.

"The old marquis accepted all the gifts, but he refused to sign any written contract with our Huwen family, not even to make any verbal promises, in fact, our messenger was thrown from the tower of the castle by his family, and only corpses returned. ”

There wasn't much reaction in the room, and there weren't even a few people with symbolic angry looks on their faces. They have heard too much of this in these days. At this time, the Huwen family had already become a source of disaster that everyone avoided, for fear that he would have something to do with it.

In fact, even the old marquis who had already passed the anger was willing to help the Huwen family, and with the strength of that old bastard's family, it would not play a big role.

"So far, no family has shown us goodwill other than Viscount Martin. And neither the Count of Martin, nor the conditions he proposed, the marriage of me, nor the energy possessed by his family, did nothing to the present form. ”

"Isn't there any other good news for us as a patriarch besides these things?

It was Michelle's cousin who spoke, and he was also the one who had eyed the position of patriarch.

The matriarch's eyes swept over coldly, and she snorted coldly: "If you are not satisfied with my work, you can replace me at any time, and I am willing to give up this position." But do you dare to accept it?"

There was no sound on the other side immediately......

Michelle was not happy to suppress this former rival, she sighed softly and continued: "So far, the road to ask for help from other families has been completely blocked, and the troops we have secretly formed have not yet taken shape, and even if the troops are formed, to be honest, they are completely unable to guarantee the safety of the family members, and they can't even escort the main members of the imperial capital to leave the imperial capital. ”

"Are we just going to have to wait to die? As soon as Uncle Amanda dies, it's definitely our turn next. A young man lay on the table with his head in his hands, his shoulders trembling, and he cried.

"What are you crying about, don't forget that you are a nobleman!" Michelle scolded the clansman fiercely, and then his eyes became fierce, but he said in a more low-pitched voice, "Don't forget, we still have a way to go!"

Hearing her words, almost all of Xiuwen's shoulders trembled, as if they had heard something incomparably terrifying, even above the extermination of the clan.

"No, are you really going to do that? Are you crazy?" said an old man aloud.

"Do you have a better idea to save our family, my dear Uncle George?"

"But, but then, the whole of Montenegro ...... No, it's the whole empire that will ......"

"Our entire family is going to be sent to the execution table, and we have to take care of what Black Mountain, what empire, patriarch, I support you, I am willing to carry out your 'final plan'......"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Don't forget, Amanda is the only one who has been publicly executed now, not our entire Huwen family, big deal...... It's a big deal that we just give up all our wealth and go back to being executioners. ”

"Innocent, don't forget, that little master of the John family was cut off by your own hands, do you think they will let go of this opportunity to take revenge on you to the fullest!"

There was a sudden commotion in the conference room, and the two opinions were divided, and Michelle covered her temples, her brows furrowed, and she had no intention of stopping these people from venting.

Although she had already made up her mind in her heart, the "final plan" was so crazy that even the original creator of her plan shuddered when she thought about it, let alone others.

At that moment, a maid came briskly and whispered a few words in Michelle's ear. Michelle was still expressionless at first, thinking that this was just another bad news, but the corners of her mouth twitched at first, and then tilted upwards the next moment, revealing a burst of ecstasy.

"What are you talking about! Ron actually saw him, and brought him back!"

"Hmm!" the maid nodded affirmatively, she was also surnamed Xiuwen, and she was a distant member of the family, so she naturally knew how important this information she brought was to the patriarch.

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on the matriarch's face, and seeing her expression, they knew that there was finally good news.

Michelle sorted out his thoughts for a while, and finally said with a solemn expression: "Ron, who I sent to patrol the vicinity of Dragon Castle, has finally reaped the harvest and brought back the mysterious adopted son of Rethuseus and Ysera, I believe everyone here should know, he is my elder brother, Dominico's eldest son in exile. ”

The strange thing is that after Michelle's words fell, although the corners of many people's mouths twitched, revealing a little joy, more Huwen, especially some elders, were frowning at this time, as if they had heard worse news than the torture and killing of the messenger they had sent.
