Chapter 620: Taking Over as the Head of the House!
"Campbell,."
After all, it was the funeral of his father and brother, and on this occasion, Luke's expression was always more solemn.
However, he can still hear a lot of acting elements in his words.
With his arms outstretched, Luke faked a hug with Campbell.
"Tell me, how did they get there?"
"My father was seriously ill, and he died at about seven o'clock last night, and my eldest brother was so sad that he was ......," Campbell said halfway through, and then couldn't go on.
Not to mention, this guy's acting skills are actually pretty good.
Luke let out a long sigh and patted Campbell on the back: "Don't worry, from today onwards, I will take care of the family." ”
With that, Luke let go of his embrace and turned to the side.
Not noticing, after he said that, Campbell's eyes smeared with a trace of evil.
Before the funeral began, Luke's ambitions were revealed.
Ten minutes later.
All the guests were seated, Watson's people stood on the left, and dignitaries, businessmen, and celebrities from all walks of life stood on the right.
Starting with the elders of the clan, everyone entered the front hall in turn, surrounded the coffin, laid flowers and mourned, and finally closed the coffin.
At this moment, an elderly man in his sixties stood in the middle of two coffins with a eulogy in his hand.
"It stands to reason that the next head of the family should recite the eulogy, who knows, Andrew has also left us, time is in a hurry, and the eulogy of the two deceased is ...... by me"
"Wait!"
A high-pitched voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the elder's train of thought and attracting everyone's attention.
The clansmen immediately looked at each other.
"Luke, what's the matter?" the elder couldn't help but frown.
"Uncle, I think you've made a mistake. ”
Luke walked out calmly and said eloquently, "My brother is leaving, but this does not mean that the family has lost its master. ”
The elder's pupils constricted, and he looked at Luke gloomily, "What do you want to say?"
With a conceited smile, Luke looked around at the crowd, and finally, his gaze refocused on the elder, and his voice fell like thunder.
"I am the second in line to the throne, and now it is up to me to take over as the next head of the family. ”
In an instant, the audience was in an uproar.
No one expected that Luke would stand up and compete for the head of the family at such a serious moment.
In fact, no one doubts his succession, but, the deceased is the greatest, and in any wealthy family, the new head of the family will not be announced first, and then the funeral of the old head of the family will be held.
"Nonsense!"
The elder was furious and shouted, "Even if you succeed him, it's not now, stand back for me!"
The other elders of the clan also stood up and persuaded one after another: "Luke, if you want to announce the head of the family, it will be at least three days later, you can go back first." ”
"Yes, let the old master rest in the earth first, and let the rest of the things later. ”
"It's yours, it'll be yours after all, Luke, don't break the rules of the family. ”
One voice after another, like unbearable noise to Luke.
He waved his arm fiercely: "Enough!"
This sudden strength was like a cold wind blowing, and in an instant, everyone fell silent, their eyes full of shock, and thick questions.
Is he still the amorous Young Master Luke?
"Uncle, you can get out of the way. ”
Almost in a commanding tone, the elder was driven back into the crowd, and Luke smiled at the corner of his mouth, and took out a eulogy and read it.
It's just that when they heard the content of the eulogy, many people's faces changed.
Generally speaking, Westerners' eulogies are mainly about remembering the dead and singing about the dead, but Luke only used a few words to mention the exploits of the old family master and Andrew, and then all talked about the grand blueprint he wanted to complete after becoming the head of the family.
"This guy is too much!"
Campbell clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Is he so eager to be the head of the house!"
Behind him, Tang Xie teased softly: "Taking over as the head of the family at the funeral, unless he has a problem with his brain, otherwise you can borrow him a gut, and he won't be able to do this kind of ** thing." ”
"Doctor Tang, what do you mean?"
"He was instructed to do this. ”
Tang Xie narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice lowered lower, "There must be something that must be done today, otherwise, there is no need for the Red House to let Luke do this." ”
Campbell was stunned.
Immediately lost in thought.
However, Tang Xie didn't expect him to come up with anything, after all, he was not Andrew, and he didn't have the ability to hit the nail on the head.
Unexpectedly, half a minute later, Campbell suddenly showed a sudden look.
"Pandora. ”
"What?"
Tang Xie was stunned, "What is that?"
Campbell looked very cautious, looked around, and was sure that no one was paying attention to their conversation, so he said cautiously: "Pandora is a secret room in the family, made of nearly one meter thick stainless steel, airtight, the key to enter is only owned by the head of the family, and in a year, it can only be opened once, and at other times, the key is invalid, and on this day, the head of the family enters the secret room to ensure that the things inside are safe and sound." ”
After he finished speaking, Tang Xie followed up and asked, "The time to open the secret room is today, right?"
"Yes!"
Campbell nodded heavily, "I can't think of anything else but this chamber." ”
Turning his head, Tang Xie and Bai Long tacitly met each other.
In the eyes of the other party, they saw a look of affirmation.
"No wonder, the Godfather asked to complete the mission in one day, in order to help Luke become the head of the house today, and then, they can enter the secret room!"
"What I'm curious about now is what's in the chamber. ”
Campbell smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know about this, except for the previous heads of the family, other clansmen have no right to know." ”
Just as they were working it all out, Luke's eulogy was halfway through when it was suddenly interrupted by a few impulsive clansmen.
"It's Cousin John, them!"
Campbell's eyes widened and he lost his voice.
The burly man named John Watson rushed over with a lunge, grabbed Luke by the collar and lifted him up.
"Snatch his eulogy and tear it up!"
With John's yell, the remaining three clansmen rushed forward, snatched Luke's eulogy, and tore it to pieces.
Luke's eyes instantly turned red: "Are you going to rebel!"
"If someone like you becomes the head of the family, of course I have to rebel!"
John roared like a hero who had slain the faint king.
It's a pity that in Tang Xie's opinion, he and these hot-blooded and impulsive clan brothers are all brainless bears!
"Send a few men and drive John away. ”
Tang Xie tilted his head slightly and whispered to the collar, and then he ordered to Campbell again, "In a moment, you can say a few words for your brother." ”
Campbell's head was hot, and he said excitedly: "Okay, I have long wanted to help my eldest brother out of this evil breath!"
"It's not Andrew, I'm talking about your second brother, Luke. ”
"Huh?!"
