Chapter VII: Family Deliberations
Gale followed the second lady to the council chamber of the Collebi family, which was already full of people, and at the top sat a tall middle-aged man with a square face, dressed in a brocade robe, although his eyes were slightly closed, but it gave people a sense of majesty and oppression.
This middle-aged man was Gael's father, Bill Koleby, the patriarch of the Kolebi family.
It's just that in Gail's memory, his father can be called extremely cold, because he has not seen his father a few times since he was a child.
Of course, Bill is not only indifferent to him, but also to the other sons, the only one who can be better is the fourth eldest of the Colleby family, that is, Bill's youngest son Wade
Bill's strength is a fourth-level high-level imprint refining wizard, and he has already crossed the first stage of the life code, and now Bill is actually in his sixties, but he looks even younger than the second lady in his forties.
The fourth-level imprint refining wizard has already entered the hall on the wizard road, and he may be unknown in the outside world, but he is a real master in this Geltu City
It's just that in Gail's memory, his father has been in retreat and cultivation, and even retreated to the point where he doesn't even care about the internal affairs of the Gelby family, and only expresses his opinions on some major matters.
Below Bill were five old men, the youngest of whom was in his seventies.
These old men are all elders of the Kolebi family, and they are also Bill's elders, and they all hold some power within the Kolebi family.
There are also some people standing next to these elders, these are just the stewards of the Kolebi family, and some are the descendants of these elders, and they also hold some of the power of the Kolebi family.
In addition to the elders and stewards, sitting on either side were Bill's wives and Gael's brothers.
The eldest of the Kolebi family, Xingge, is tall and always has a hint of arrogance on his face, and he is also the strongest among the four brothers of the Kolebi family, and has reached the advanced level of Soul Fusion.
And the third eldest of the Collebi family, Sap, is slightly thin, and he also has the strength of this soul melting level, and he has always had a warm smile on his face, but his gaze at Gale is with a hint of cruelty, obviously he didn't expect Gale to come back alive.
The third lady of the Colleby family is a graceful woman in her thirties, the most loved by Bill, the fourth eldest of the Colleby family, Wade, is only sixteen years old this year, handsome, and it is said that she looks very similar to Bill when he was young, so she is also the most loved by Bill.
The Colleby family has four sons, but only three wives, and Gail's biological mother is only a concubine, and she died in childbirth after giving birth to Gale.
Gail walked in and saluted to everyone in the council room, "I have seen my father, the eldest uncle, the third uncle, the seventh uncle, the eighth uncle, the ninth uncle, the eldest mother, the second mother, and the third mother." ”
Bill nodded slightly, but said lightly: "I'm back, go sit down." ”
His father had opened his mouth no matter what he said, and as for Gael's five uncles, they didn't even raise their eyelids.
They are two generations older than Gail, of course they don't care about him as a junior, and the most important thing is that everyone knows what Gai's status is in the family, and they don't need to care.
Bill coughed and said: "I, Bill, have been in Gertu City for more than 30 years, and now I can be regarded as completely rooted here, the children have grown up in recent years, and several uncles are also urging, my Colleby family, it is time to determine the position of the heir of this family first." ”
Speaking of Bill's experience is also legendary, he came to Gertu City with dozens of Kolebi people more than 30 years ago, and established himself in Gertu City from scratch, and now, the Collebi family has become one of the three major families in Gertu City, and even stronger than the Defoun family, which has been rooted in Geltu City for hundreds of years.
The eldest lady said: "What else is decided? Xingge is the eldest son of the Kolebi family, and his strength is also the strongest, if Xingge is not allowed to be the heir, who else can be the heir?"
As soon as she heard this, the second lady of the Collebi family immediately sneered and said: "Eldest sister, what you said is not right, why can the eldest son inherit the position of patriarch? Our Collebi family is a wizard family, and the position of the heir to the head of the family has always been occupied by the strong and capable. Besides, my family Sapp is only 25 years old this year. ”
The eldest lady of the Colleby family showed a cold glint in her eyes and said, "You mean that my son is not as good as your son?"
The second lady said unhurriedly: "I didn't say that, I just know that we are all women, and in these major matters, it is still up to the master to decide." ”
As she spoke, the second lady turned her gaze to the third lady: "Sister, did you say?"
The third lady just smiled and said softly: "The slave family is just a woman, of course I don't understand these things, what the master says, that's what it is." ”
As soon as she heard this, the eldest lady's face suddenly turned pale.
Although the third lady did not say it explicitly, listening to her words, it was obvious that she was on the side of the second lady.
Bill slapped the table and shouted, "Enough!"
Seeing Bill's anger, the women stopped talking.
Bill rubbed his head with a bit of a headache, what he hated most was dealing with this kind of mess.
"Don't say it, of course you have to think carefully about such a big matter as an heir, and several uncles are here today, and the rules are set here.
In five years, Xingge, Gale, Tharp, Wade, all four of you have a part of the family business in your hands, and whoever takes care of the family business best will have the position of heir.
Our Colleby family is so big, and the business is only so little, whose progress is great, you can see at a glance. ”
Speaking of this, Bill glanced at Wade, the youngest, and said, "Although my Colleby family is a wizard family, but because of your age, your strength is not in the scope of the examination for the time being, only the ability, can you agree?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the eldest lady and the eldest of the Kolebi family, Xingge, suddenly became gloomy, and Bill was obviously favoring Wade, the youngest, and lost his Xingge's greatest advantage in one sentence.
The second lady smiled and said, "Of course I agree with what the master said." ”
The third lady also followed: "The slave family naturally agreed. ”
Only the eldest lady blushed and snorted coldly: "I don't agree! My Collebi family is a wizard family, and it is a joke to choose the heir of the head of the family without testing the strength!"
Gail squinted at the few people present, and just through this conversation, he almost touched the personalities of the few people present.
The elders of the Colleby family are ornaments, with their own little calculations, but they dare not disobey Bill's wishes.
And his eldest brother and eldest lady are both virtuous and arrogant, and no one pays attention to them.
Bill's eldest lady is said to have come from a large wizarding organization and married Bill before he came to Gertu.
Now that it looks like this, he dares to directly argue with Bill.
But this also shows that she is very stupid, even if her family is big, this is not her family, this is Gertu City, but the Kolebi family, she is so against Bill, it will only make Bill more disgusted.
Needless to say, the second lady was ruthless, and her son, the third son, was much shallower than his mother, and Chu Xiu could feel the murderous intent from him when he came in.
The last third lady is a smart person, after the eldest lady and the second lady are old and decrepit, she is loved by Bill, and her performance is harmless to humans and animals, but if you don't fight, you fight, Wade is Bill's favorite the most.
As for Bill himself, Gail could feel that his father was very afraid of trouble, even if he kept saying that choosing the heir of the head of the family was a big deal, but in the end he still seemed to have a feeling of distraction.
In fact, it's nothing to like retreat, after all, their Gelby family is also a wizard family, although it is only the smallest kind, but in this wizard continent, strength is everything, rather than struggling to drill the camp, it is better to directly suppress people.
But the problem is that Bill has been practicing so hard for more than thirty years, but his own strength doesn't seem to have changed much, it's just a waste of time, he doesn't have the talent to understand, no matter how hard he retreats, he can't become a master, unless he is conducting some powerful experiments?
Gail hadn't thought about it so much before, but now after crossing over and being reborn, Gail felt that his father was a little strange.
Is his father really closed off and enchanted, even acting so perfunctory for such a big thing?
At this moment, the eldest lady of the Colleby family suddenly said: "Gail, although you are a concubine, you are also the heir of my Colleby family, what do you think of what the lord said?"
Everyone present seemed to notice Gail at this time, and the second lady frowned suddenly, what she was afraid of was now, although she had won over the third lady and Wade, but Gail, an idiot, had always been on the side of the eldest lady and Xingge.
The eldest lady also knew this, she raised her eyebrows proudly towards the second lady, two against two, if Bill blatantly favored Wade, it would be a little too much.
But who knew that Gail smiled at this time, and arched his hand at Bill and said, "How dare a child have an opinion on what his father decides? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. The five uncles who hadn't even raised their eyes actually looked over.
The eldest lady and Xingge both looked at Gail in disbelief, especially Xingge, he remembered that this kid had always been a follower behind his ass before, and now he dared to go against himself?
The second lady frowned, she couldn't guess what Gale was thinking.
She could now be sure that Gale should have known what he was planning to kill him, but even if he knew this, he was still on his side, what did Gale mean?
In fact, Gail's meaning is very simple, he also wants to fight for the position of the head of the family, standing on the side of the eldest lady, he is still fighting for a fart?
In the past, Gail didn't want to fight, but now Gail doesn't fight for the position of the head of the family, can the assets of the Chu family still be cheaper than his waste brothers?
Bill looked at Gail in surprise, he felt that this son he had always ignored seemed to be a little different from two years ago, is there such a training in the Nanshan mining area?
