The Helis family had been silent for several days since Loraine Hill's visit that day, and Miss Merlu ordered that the entire chamber headquarters be completely sealed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.

A few days later, the doors of the Helis Chamber of Commerce headquarters opened, and to outsiders it appeared to be the same as usual, but the staff inside noticed that some faces had disappeared, supposedly assigned to work in a branch far away.

Later, the main stewards of the various branches of the Helis Chamber of Commerce, especially the uncles and relatives of Merus, received an invitation from the main family, saying that due to the recent excessive pleasure of the head of the Hoth family, the priest of the Angel Temple diagnosed that his life was imminent, so he invited everyone to come and discuss the matter of the heir of the chamber of commerce.

If it were some meetings in normal times, these relatives of Helis would not go or go, and they would not be present much, but when the transfer of the Chamber of Commerce and the distribution of property were mentioned, they would swarm like flies that smelled fishy, lest they would be too late to drink the soup.

In this way, in just a week, these distant relatives arrived one after another and gathered together.

Helis House, Main Chamber.

Hoss sat at the top of the hall, his face was a little pale, his fat body was like a ball of soft white bread, and from time to time there was a maid who brought him a medicinal soup for health, and on his right hand sat his eldest daughter Meru, and next to him was his youngest son Bell.

Among the many stewards in the audience, all kinds of eyes looked at the head of the house in the middle, there were envy, jealousy, fear, greed, and longing, all kinds of eyes looked at these members of the main family, and now the meeting had not yet begun, they were whispering underneath, communicating with each other and trying to know what attention each other was.

Mei Lu looked at the group of people below, the faces were so familiar, but they were so unfamiliar, when did everyone start to come to this point with each other, there was no warmth in the past, only greed for money, as if this was the only value and meaning of life.

Or maybe this is the norm, people's hearts are changeable, only interests are long-lasting, moving, and unable to extricate themselves. She sighed silently in her heart, and then there was a slight tugging sensation on the side of her arm.

"Bell, well, don't be afraid, just sit there obediently, my sister will protect you."

Meilu shook her brother's hand to soothe his uneasy emotions, and then the meeting finally began.

The host first clapped his hands, let everyone slowly calm down, and briefly introduced the reason for convening everyone this time, because the head of the family, Huo Si, is unwell, and now he has decided to abdicate and make way for Xian.

"I'm sorry to summon you at this time." Hoss spoke, his voice unhurried, and his voice a little weak.

"The head of the family is too worried, and your health is the most important thing."

"Yes, don't worry too much, you're here."

"Yes, don't worry."

Some stewards responded below, although they were all words of concern, but their excited eyes didn't look like they cared about Hoss, I'm afraid it was more just a secret joy, after all, Hoss was the son of the previous generation of the head of the family, although his strength was insufficient, but his seniority could still suppress them. But once he retires, who can he replace?

Bell is only 14 years old before he is an adult, no one cares about him at all, although the eldest daughter Meilu has some strength, she is a daughter, she will marry sooner or later, an outsider is just an outsider, what qualifications do you have to manage the family? When the time comes, I don't have to entrust them with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, hahaha.

"So, I'm going to leave the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce to my daughter, Merus, and let her handle it."

When Hoss said this, there was an uproar below, and their expressions of disbelief were revealed, and suddenly the faces that had been kind before became difficult to see, and all kinds of doubts sounded.

"Think twice, Mei Lu is just a little girl, and it is too big for her to be in charge."

"yes, why give the Chamber of Commerce to a daughter."

"The Chamber of Commerce should be led by experienced people"

"I think Mistress Vito is right."

....

The voices below suddenly became noisy, and many people began to make noise, and everyone expressed their opinions about the most suitable leader in their minds, and some simply recommended themselves. Horth sweated and said a few more words, but unfortunately no one listened, and they only wanted to vent their frustrations and argue about who was qualified to lead the Chamber of Commerce.

Meru stood up and patted her father on the back, whispering a few words in his ear before Hoss's anxious face slowly eased, and then several guards escorted him and Bell out through the nearby small side door. Hidden by the noise in the council chamber, the sound of armor colliding outside the door seemed so inconspicuous.

Some people noticed Hoss's departure and were about to come forward to question, but they were stopped by the prepared attendants, who seemed to stand sparsely in front of the stage, but they were strictly guarded against those who wanted to come forward.

Knock –

Knock –

The big bell in the conference hall was ringed, and the trilling of the brass bell metal was clearly transmitted throughout the venue, and then the scene gradually quieted down, and everyone finally felt that something was wrong when they saw that Mei Lu was the only one left on the rostrum.

"Miss Merus, where's Lord Hoss?"

Several of the stewards began to ask, and the others looked at Meru, waiting for her to answer.

"My father is not feeling well, so I have already gone back to rest first, and I will take care of the rest."

"Meilu, you come down from the stage, Hoss is not sensible, how can you let a girl take on such a heavy responsibility."

One of the uncles said loudly, and some of the others began to echo it, and more people watched from the sidelines, and no one stood up to speak for Meilu.

Mei Lu slowly stood up from her seat, she was wearing a dark green dress, and a bright yellow camellia flower pinned to her shoulder was particularly conspicuous, and her face could not be seen clearly in the slightly dim conference hall, only the long chestnut blonde hair was on her chest.

"Does Uncle Vito also think I'm not suitable?" Her voice was a little cold.

"Yes."

"But I still want to do it, what should I do?"

"Don't look like this, we're doing it for your good."

"But I want it."

Looking at the familiar uncle in front of her, Mei Lu's voice became colder and colder, and more and more decisive.

"You ......"

Before the uncle could finish speaking, Mei Lu directly picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on the other party's body.

"You're just a member of the Helis branch, so what's the right to yell in front of me."

"I usually call you uncle, does it make you forget your duty!"

Everyone looked at Mei Lu in shock, no one expected that Mei Lu, who was usually docile and lovely, would dare to say such a thing.

"From this day forward, the House of Helis will once again be under the same command, and all people, all chapters, must obey the orders of our Lord's house!"

"And I, I will be the new master of the Helis Chamber of Commerce, and you can complain here if you have any grievances."

The voice was categorical, Mei Lu looked directly at the relatives and elders present, her black eyes slowly swept across the audience, as her words fell, a team of heavily armed guards rushed in from the side door, they were silent, they could only hear the sound of metal colliding, a full three hundred steel-armored guards completely blocked the venue, and no one could escape from this silent hall.
