In the spacious hall, which had now been removed, there were two huge tables in the center, lined with rows of wooden chairs.

At the tables on either side sat two of the five chambers of commerce, with the families of Tisiphone, Nissos, and Anime on one side, and the families of Caritas and Helis on the other.

"The Helis family does not approve of your offer." Mei Lu read the terms in her hand and then spoke.

The three of them jointly demanded that the Helis family and Karitas withdraw from Hopland entirely, and cede nearly half of their estate.

Negotiations were at an impasse from the outset.

No matter how you look at it, it is clear that the terms proposed by Tisiphone, Nissos, Agnemii, and the three families are completely insincere.

Mei Lu's reaction didn't seem to surprise the three opposites, which was what they expected.

"Miss Merlou do you disagree with it, or does the Helis family disagree?" Wick asked.

"Does it make a difference?" Meru frowned.

"I'm sorry, but what I want to say is that the Helis family agrees on this." Noyce spoke, his thick fingers tapping on the table.

"Why" Before Meilu could finish speaking, she suddenly saw a teenager walking out surrounded by everyone, it was her younger brother Bell.

The young man seemed a little nervous, but the elder next to him spoke.

"Meru, you're not fit to lead the Helis family as a girl." This is none other than the former Vito, Meru's uncle.

Many of the people around him were the elders of the Helis family, the people who had been forced to hand over their power and property before, and most of them were Merlu's uncles.

Meilu looked at the group and was not moved, but focused on her younger brother Bell.

"Bell, why are you here today, shouldn't you stay at home?"

Bell seemed a little afraid to look at his sister, and said with some restraint.

"It was Uncle Vito who made my uncles think that I, as a boy, should be stronger so that I can protect my sister."

"Since my sister became the head of the family, she has been very tired every day, slept late, and often secretly shed tears, I know all this."

As he spoke, his tone became smoother.

"I hope my sister can rest and live well, and she won't be so tired and anxious every day."

"So, you want to?" Meilu looked at her younger brother, so familiar, yet so unfamiliar.

"I want to be a man instead of hiding behind my sister all the time, I want to be the head of the family, and I want to make a career out of my own." Speaking of this, there was a look of envy in his eyes.

"That's right." Meru lowered her head.

"Does Father know?"

"Well, my father agreed." Bell nodded happily.

There was a brief silence in the hall.

It was a long time before Noyce continued.

"Miss Meru don't have to worry, we won't hold you accountable, and you can still live freely overseas in the future."

"Is this your mercy?"

Meilu looked up, her eyes a little red.

Noyce looked at the girl in front of him and sighed slightly.

"I've also watched you grow up, Feng Nai and you have been friends for many years, you don't have to worry about your future self."

"So, no one asked me for my opinion, so did they agree?"

Meilu turned his head to look at Geerde beside him, this cousin seemed to feel a little guilty, and did not dare to face Meilu's gaze, he really thought that this would be good for Meilu, and it would keep her away from this dangerous whirlpool and obtain stable happiness in the future.

Gerd still remembers the little sister she held when her aunt came to their house when she was a child, she had a beautiful smile and a red fruit in her hand, and handed it to herself.

Then the aunt said, "This is Brother Jelde, come, Merlu, call brother." “

As soon as the little girl learned to speak, she called sweetly "Brother Jelder is good~", and since then he has liked this well-behaved sister.

A few years later, he went with his parents to the Lord's house, where there were many guests and children, and when Meru came down the stairs in her skirt, she saw herself and called out again, "Brother Jelde." ”

It turned out that she still remembered herself, and a wonderful emotion rose in her heart, like a weed on a hillside that no one cared about, and it was seen for the first time from among the thousands.

Gerd was very naughty as a child, his parents scolded him, his elders misunderstood him, and his peers rejected him.

But Meilu's call, like a small stone, fell in her heart, and the ripples of water slowly spread throughout her body.

It turns out that some people remember me.

Jelder replied softly. "I'm sorry, but I really hope that you can be safe and happy in the future."

"But, that's just what you think is happiness."

Meilu seemed to want to say something, but she still couldn't speak, her left hand clutched the hem of the skirt under her, and finally lowered her eyelashes in frustration.

Edley, on the other side, watched Meilu give in, smiled, and continued to speak.

"As for the Karetes family, I don't think there is any need to ask, because Miss Lacey, who is currently sitting in front of her, is not Angus's daughter."

As he spoke, a burst of exclamations rang out in the seat next to him, and everyone turned their eyes to the calm and self-determined girl.

"Angus's daughter, Elaine, has died, and you, Miss Lacey, are nothing more than an impostor." Then more powerful information spread through the hall.

"What, that Lacey is a fake."

"I mean, how can Angus's daughter be so beautiful."

"Haha, I want to know what happened to her."

Edley also sighed a little in his heart, if he hadn't learned from Daniel, he really couldn't have imagined that Seres and Chelsea would be comfortable assisting a stranger, and proclaimed that Lacey was Angus's heir.

The people around him pointed and pointed, and even the few guards behind him were a little shaken.

As the words fell, there was also a burst of discussion, ridicule, and ridicule around them, and everyone had some dark psychology, watching the high figure fall, it seemed that they could get a special pleasure, even if it had nothing to do with them.

At this moment a messenger stepped in from outside the hall with a document in his hand, and proclaimed in a loud voice:

"Tell all the chambers of commerce and industry chapters of Hopland that the headquarters of the Velga Business Alliance Industry Guild has now issued an official document that the Tisiphone family will take full control of Hopeland, become the plenipotentiary representative of the local speakers and industry guilds, and take back the seat of the Karitas family in the industry guild, and no longer be included in one of the twenty-six seats."

"In view of the death of the former Chamber of Commerce Angus and his descendants, Caritas will be taken over by the trade guild."

As the words fell, there was an uproar in the hall.

"This decision of the alliance violates the agreement that was made." Chelsea's cold voice came from behind Lorain Hill.

"Does this mean that the Guild Headquarters is no longer the noble union that once pursued justice and trustworthiness?"

She continued to speak, which also sparked a discussion about the fact that this decision was indeed unusual.

"The orders of the guild headquarters are not to be disobeyed." Wick spoke again.

"But we Karitas will not give in, and in our hearts Miss Lacey is still the most orthodox heir of the Chamber of Commerce."

"And you're the ones who killed Angus." As Chelsea spoke, several of Karitas' guards drew their swords and stood in front of Loren Hill to protect him.

"That doesn't seem to be a good deal."

As Wick's words fell, groups of black-clad soldiers poured into the hall through the side door, holding silver-white muskets in their hands, accompanied by armor and footsteps, lined up neatly, standing behind Edley and the others, leveling the barrels of their guns, and aiming their muzzles at Lorain Hill and the others.

"You guys." Lady Philia stood up, but Master Heran, who was sitting beside her, took the lead and stopped in front of her.

"Madame Filia, please don't be angry, Emenas has a rule that teachers and ungraduated students are not allowed to meddle in the internal affairs of other organizations and countries."

Looking at the gray-bearded old man, several balls of light gradually floated around Lady Filia, and the brilliance of them flowed and flickered.

"Looks like my old bone is going to move too." Helang was not surprised, took the slender long sword handed by the person next to him, and then pulled a sword flower.

"The last time I competed with you was twenty years ago, so I was still very young." The old man's body gradually exuded a mountain-like momentum, and wisps of white smoke began to appear around the sword body, and the air was slightly distorted.

And in this moment of tense confrontation, the others finally reacted, panicked screams sounded in the hall, and then frantically poured out.

The armament of the two chambers of commerce outside the mansion also mutated, and the Helis family retreated suddenly, leaving the Karitas family to confront the other three, and the guards began to shrink urgently when they sensed that they were not right.

And the bells rang again in the city, and the other three armies attacked again, and the house of Helis was silent, and the house of Tisiphone, Nisos, and Anemii joined forces again and advanced towards Karides.

Seven or eight blue steel golems stood in the city and fired fiery pillars of fire, igniting the fleet of Karitas as they prepared to open fire, and cans of fire oil were thrown from Nissos's house and fell to the sea, burning the harbor at night.

Shouts and belligerents rang out again throughout the city.

"Fire!"

Some of the warships far away from the harbor smashed their shells into Nissos's house, causing an earth-shattering sound, and some oil tanks that had not had time to be launched exploded on the spot, and the entire chamber of commerce was immersed in a sea of fire.

But this time, the combined forces of the three families did not flinch, and still advanced towards Karites, and long ladders were erected.

Without the help of the Helis family, most of the fleet was also in flames, and the Karitas Chamber of Commerce seemed to be in danger.

Bang –

In the mansion where the negotiations were held, the entire roof was lifted, and countless bricks and tiles were sprinkled from the sky like a torrential rain, causing countless people to dodge everywhere.

In the spacious hall, the violent air currents directly broke through all obstacles, whether it was windows, beams, tables and chairs, as if swept away by a dragon, and directly dissipated into the sea and sky.

There were no lights in the dark hall for a long time, and the cold and silvery moonlight swayed down from the sky and shone into the messy and ruined hall.

The people in the hall were staggered, most of them were crushed by debris, and the previous musketeers were scattered everywhere, some of them even missing.

Noyce struggled to get up from under the overpowered stone pillar and looked at the girl in the center of the hall.

The long silver hair blown by the sea breeze shone and fluttered in the moonlight, the dress on his body was not damaged at all, the wisps of air flowed around his side, and the pupils of his eyes seemed to have starlight twinkling, peerless and independent.

How could it be, he muttered to himself, his eyes in disbelief.

And in the entire strait outside Hopeland, a violent storm began to take shape, and countless tides were swept away, rising into the sky, like the Milky Way pouring down in the sky, directly extinguishing the fire in the harbor.

"Is this what you want?" She finally spoke up to respond to the intrigues of the enemy.

Thank you for the Tianming Tribulation, Sesame Hit the Earth, and the two of you for your reward.

Sorry for the late update.
