Chapter 1375: Funeral (Medium)!
The number of people attending the funeral gradually increased.
Compared with the funeral in Shenzhou, the funeral in Mi is much simpler, and the atmosphere is not too sad, but despite this, there are still many people among the guests who are difficult to control their feelings and cry.
Edward, Titan, and Oss stepped forward to hug the guests one by one.
They comfort each other and use the simplest words to motivate those around them, hoping that the other person will cheer up.
What people didn't expect was that before the funeral began, suddenly, it rained heavily.
Tang Yue raised his head and looked at the raindrops that were rushing towards his face.
"Brother Yue, it's... Purple Queen? β
The mouse wiped his face and asked softly.
Once, they had a fight with the Purple Queen in Australia, and they knew that she could control the weather at will, and this sudden rain naturally aroused the suspicion of the mouse.
"Probably not."
Tang Yue said, "There is no chosen power in the rain, but Edward is definitely ready to fight us, it is difficult to say that the Purple Queen is not nearby, stay vigilant." β
Fortunately, the people of the United States have the habit of bringing umbrellas to the funeral, and in an instant, in front of the tombstone, there is a black press.
The atmosphere is even more solemn.
"Uncle Fernandez, Mr. Priest, the funeral can begin."
When the number of black umbrellas reached more than two hundred, and the time was just right, Edward beckoned to Fernandez and said softly.
FernΓ‘ndez nodded at the priest.
"Following Mr. Howard's will, he chose the form of burial, asking all guests to take off their hats and stand in silence."
After looking around, the priest pulled out a delicate piece of parchment, on which was written Howard's will.
The moment he opened the will, the priest's face changed slightly.
The will has been altered!
Some of the handwriting in it is obviously covered with black ink, although it does not affect the overall fluency, but it obviously destroys the integrity of the will.
Turning his head in astonishment, the priest cast a questioning look at Fernandez.
"Just read what you see."
Fernandez moved his lips and reminded very quietly, "Don't ask, don't guess." β
In the tone, there was a faint indifference.
The priest was instantaneous.
Immediately after, he read out the contents of the will.
In his will, Howard gave some suggestions about the future development of the family, and in addition, there was his reluctance to the clan, but the intensifying dispute between the head of the family, which he did not mention.
Some of the clansmen were suspicious, but they did not dare to question.
At the funeral, the deceased is the greatest.
And who would question the will left by a deceased person.
The rat and the butcher stood on either side of Tang Yue, the butcher smiled coldly and whispered: "Looking at the look between the priest and the old man, the will should have been changed, the strange thing is that why didn't they add a sentence to the will that they want Edward to become the head of the family?" β
"It's simple, because it's not necessary."
Tang Yue analyzed, "Mr. Howard's idea of wanting Oss to become the head of the family is not a secret in the family, if Edward modifies the will, it is too distorted, I guess, Edward should have erased the content about the dispute between the head of the family, and the clan will not know Mr. Howard's true thoughts, so they will naturally choose to simplify things and reopen the dispute between the heads of the family, which is the scene that Edward really wants to see." β
In the eyes of the clan, Edward has a high prestige, and he has successively found the poisoner and the mastermind behind the NASDAQ terrorist attack, and this series of achievements is enough for him to win the battle for the head of the family.
Edward really thought of everything.
"May the Father of Heaven bless you, Amen."
After reading the will, the priest made a prayer gesture to Howard's tombstone, and the guests around him bowed their heads in silence.
At this time, Fernandez stepped forward and said to everyone: "Everyone understands that the departure of my brother has brought Edward's rebirth, and I think the first person to speak must be Edward." β
The first spokesperson was supposed to be Fernandez, but his intention to give it to Edward could not have been more obvious.
One of the elders with the highest status in the family chose to stand on Edward's side, and those clansmen naturally looked at Edward with a little more reverence.
It's like looking at the head of the house.
Edward walked to the place where Fernandez had given up with a solemn expression, his gaze swept over everyone, and when he saw Tang Yue, his gaze stayed a little longer for half a second, and finally, he retracted his gaze and said, "No one misses my father more than me, because he gave me two lives." β
Combined with Edward's mournful voice, these words were extremely infectious.
The mouse glanced to the side and muttered, "If you listen to it any more, I guess I'm going to beat him!" β
Tang Yue smiled bitterly and patted the mouse on the shoulder, signaling him to endure it a little longer.
"Wait until Edward has gained everyone's trust before openly exposing his face, that would be the most lethal, so you have to wait." Tang Yue said softly.
"Hmm!"
A low voice answered, and the mouse tried not to listen to Edward's speech as much as possible.
At this time, Edward's eyes were already full of tears, and he said excitedly: "It was Rogers who ruined his father who should have survived, not long ago I had the opportunity to capture Rogers alive, but unfortunately he escaped, here, I promise everyone that within a year, I will definitely bring Rogers to my father's tombstone and let him repent for his previous crimes!" β
"That's right! He has to pay the price he deserves! β
"Young Master Edward, when you go to find Rogers again, count me in!"
"And me, I'm going to catch him, the unfilial man who murdered my own father!"
The feelings of the tribesmen were already suppressed, and under Edward's instigation, they all detonated one after another like volcanoes waiting to erupt.
Edward raised his hands and motioned for his people to be quiet.
"Rogers is my biological brother after all, he did something wrong, and I am also guilty of lax discipline, here, I make amends to all my clansmen!"
With that, Edward bowed sincerely to everyone.
Looking at his coquettish appearance, Tang Yue couldn't help frowning: "It's better than I imagined, it's time for Rogers to appear." β
Just as he was talking to himself, there was a sudden burst of shouting from among the clansmen.
"Edward, if you say this in front of your father's tombstone, aren't you afraid of being damned!"
The sound stunned all the clansmen.
Then, the clansmen looked angrily at the same location.
There, is where Akon and the others stand.
Among the ten saint-level masters, one of them buried his head deeply, unable to see his face clearly, and the voice just now came from his mouth.
The sharp-eyed clansman immediately shouted, "It's Rogers!" β
The originally quiet and solemn cemetery was boiling in an instant.
Some of the clansmen even rushed in Rogers' direction, as if they wanted to beat him up.
Anger is like a virus that infects everyone.
It's just that with Akon and them guarding Rogers' side, no matter how many people there are, they can't bully them.
Looking at this scene, Edward's eyes suddenly lit up.
What he had to wait for was now!
"Calm down, everybody!"
Edward raised his hands and did everything he could to maintain order on the spot.
Fernandez also waved his hand at his entourage, signaling them to restrain the overly excited clansmen, while shouting vigorously: "It's my brother's funeral, please stay quiet!" β
After a few minutes, the rampaging tribesmen finally calmed down a little.
"Are you really Rogers?"
Edward stared at the man next to Akon, unconsciously clasping his hands.
Snorted coldly.
Rogers slowly raised his head in full view.
His face was disguised, but his clear facial features and eyes full of wisdom all indicated his identity.
First glanced at his father's tombstone, Rogers felt a trace of sourness in his nose, his relationship with his father was not bad, but now he was standing here as a murderer of his father, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable in the bottom of his heart.
With a strong breath, Rogers suppressed the sourness and said in a solemn voice: "Edward, don't lie and confuse the crowd anymore, you are clearly the one who poisoned my father, and you are also the one who caused the terrorist attack on NASDAQ!" β
It's a pity that all Rogers got was a bunch of ruthless eyes.
Present, no one believed him.
"Rogers, your shameless deeds are simply amazing, you have done so many bad things that have lost your conscience, and now you are going to frame them all on your own brother, what about your conscience, your dignity as the heir of the Morgan family!"
Fernandez rushed to Edward's side, his beard shaking with anger, and he yelled at Rogers.
Not only him, but the people also released their resentment in their hearts again, and all kinds of foul language were greeted on Rogers.
Oss and Titan stood in the crowd, looking at this qiΔ with some amazement.
"Os, how could he stand with Uncle Akon, what the hell is going on?" The Titan asked, confused.
"I don't know."
Oss almost had a question mark on his face, he withdrew his gaze from the chaotic scene, and turned his head to look at Tang Yue and the others on the other side.
When he saw Tang Yue, Oss was stunned again.
Tang Yue's expression seemed to be very calm, and he was not shocked by the sight at all.
Oss was thoughtful and muttered to himself: "Don, is this what you arranged?" β
When the clansmen were tired of scolding, Rogers could speak again, he sneered and said: "A week ago, I was almost captured by Edwards in New York, and I only understood one thing at that time, I was one step behind him from beginning to end, he cooperated with Purgatory earlier than me, in Purgatory, he was the ghost face of the rich and rival country, and he was a very close business partner, and this qiΔ was simply a farce directed and acted by himself, and his purpose was to be reborn and become the future head of the Morgan family!" β
The clansmen showed a variety of expressions, most of them were mainly unbelief, but there were also a small number of people who thought about Rogers' words.
"I heard that the people who attacked the NASDAQ exchange, the boss behind the scenes is a person called Ghost Face."
"Maybe it's Rogers himself, he's so good at framing people."
"Before the head of the family died, Young Master Edward always wanted the head of the family to continue to live, he wouldn't be that kind of person."
More and more voices of questioning and justification appeared among the clansmen, and those voices made Edward's eyes change slightly.
Damn the people!
But in the blink of an eye, Edward recalled the plan with Xiang Shiyan, which was seamless, and took into account the reactions of these clansmen.
Edward regained his composure and said in a cold voice: "Rogers, do you still want to make mistakes again and again, my father is lying in the tombstone behind me, and you actually turn black and white upside down in front of him!" β
After speaking, Edward turned his gaze and pointed at the silent Tang Yue: "And you, Doctor Tang!" A week ago, the Su Hongfa who rescued Rogers from my hands is your person, I have reasonable reason to suspect that what Rogers said here today is simply a collusion between the two of you! β
The shock of the clansmen was refreshed again!
They looked at Tang Yue, and their hearts were all a mess!
