Chapter 48: The Patriarch's Determination

A dull voice came, and Ying Qi, who had just returned from the patriarch's place, was going down the stone steps, and finally sat down at the table, I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, he was opposite Ying Yi.

"The patriarch has decided to take back the shadow guard."

Ying Yi's hand in his sleeve clenched instantly, and the flat words even shook him a little.

"Shadow guard family rules, only dispatched by the patriarch, only listen to the orders of the patriarch, betrayers, kill."

Shadow Seven still spoke in an undulating tone, but he said deadly words.

The shadows in the right position were motionless, and the faces hidden under the masks did not know what expressions were.

Shadow Seven has always been a special presence among the Black Guards, as they have always been in charge of the Shadow Guard's precepts. What he said is indeed the family rule of the shadow guard, and it is the most important first iron law. Berg knew that there was such an iron law, but he still formed the situation he is in today. With his absolute strength, coupled with the support of most of the elders, he firmly grasped the shadow guard in his hands, since this is the case, why should he give a titular patriarch. Ying Yi had some guesses in his heart, but he was not sure, but Ying Qi's attack at this time had to be solved immediately. Because he doesn't just talk, but the inheritance of Shadow Seven inherently restrains all Shadow Guards, and it is recorded that he can even inflict devastating blows on Shadow Guards.

The record is just a record, and the Shadow Seven of this generation has never attacked his own people, but since there is this note in the inheritance, it will not be fake.

"Shadow Seven, although Lyles is nominally the patriarch, Berg still represents the Peterson family. When it comes to the first rule, your authority is higher than mine, and the choice is yours to kill Berg or temporarily attach. ”

In the deepest part of the gloomy dungeon, the four Shadow Guards were silent for a long, long time, and finally Shadow Seven left alone.

With Shadow One's heart, he was also relieved to see him leave, but his departure meant that he would take a group of guards Lyles with him, and he would not be dispatched. In this way, there was only one squad left of the people he could immediately mobilize, and he no longer felt distressed at this point, but a little funny.

"What the fuck are you arranging!" He cursed in his heart.

What needs to be done still has to be done, and he gave the order, and the other two left.

"Daddy, Daddy! Oh no, no! ”

The boy ran into the old man's house with a shout, shouting loudly.

"Look at what you look like!" The old man sat upright, looked at his eldest son with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice.

The young man hurriedly stood still, touched the sweat on his forehead, saluted the old man as usual, and then hurriedly said, "Dad, something happened, Miller is dead." ”

"What!" The old man jumped to his feet, walked up to the boy in two steps, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him up. He was so bruised that his nose was almost poking the boy's face, and he was obviously furious.

"Daddy, Daddy...... Thousand...... True, the Lord of the House of Elders said. ”

The old man let go of his hand, ignoring his son, who had stumbled and fell to the ground, his body swayed a little, and he shook it before grabbing the chair behind him and slowly sat down. Their group is not light in the clan, the most important thing is because of Miller's support, if Miller dies, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He suddenly thought of something, suddenly raised his head, and with a snort, a person appeared beside him.

"Go, find out."

After sending out his subordinates, his worries did not disappear at all, and he had some very bad instincts, maybe the news was true. Usually relying on Miller's support, he has done a lot of things, if those people know...... He patted the table and stood up.

No, he has to start setting up in advance.

Lyles was in the magic array, and he hadn't withdrawn since Shadow Seven appeared. This magic array looks extremely gorgeous, but in fact it has only one effect, and that is to isolate breath and sound. Half an hour later, someone pushed the door open. This man was in good shape and had a ruddy complexion, like a businessman.

When the door closed, Lyles said directly, "Hill, let's do it." ”

The middle-aged man named Hill was stunned, he was not a core member of the family, but a small steward of the family, but in fact he had helped Lyles take care of his wealth for many years. He was obviously a little surprised when he heard this, his pupils shrank, he took stock in his heart, and then asked, "How much does the patriarch want to use?" ”

"All." There was a hint of steadfastness in Lyles's tone, and it was clear that he had made up his mind.

Hill was only managing his wealth, and his status in the clan was very low, and like most of the people in the clan, he may have sensed the solemnity of the atmosphere these days, but he didn't know what was going on. He glanced at the patriarch above to make sure his mood was stable, and then knew it couldn't be a joke.

Ever since Lyles began to take over the position of patriarch, he has been accumulating resources, and these things are understandable, and Berg naturally knows about them, but he has never interfered. Almost all of the accumulation over the past ten years had been done through Hill's hand, and he knew even better than Lyles what a huge amount of money it was. He didn't know about the high-level affairs, but with his years of experience in stewardship, these resources were far beyond the imagination of the old patriarch. The key problem is that the source of many of these resources over the years cannot be traced, as if someone suddenly sent resources to the patriarch. As a result, Hill was firmly tied to Lyles's camp.

"Does the patriarch need to be cashed in?" Hill has been doing it all these years, in fact, he has a very high hidden status, and he is one of the closest people around the patriarch, and he has one of the biggest advantages, that is, he never asks the reason, what the patriarch says, he does it.

"All the resources will be processed within three days, and I will send another person to contact you."

Lyles said as he handed over a wooden sign. Hill took it and put it in his arms without looking at it, this is the credential that is certified when it is time to take resources, he has used it many times, and he has long been used to it.

"Yes, most of our resources are on the farm, I need to guard the warehouse myself, please ask the patriarch to send someone here to contact me directly."

"As it should be." Ciel nodded.

Lyles pondered for a moment, to mobilize huge resources, it is not such a simple matter, he needs to think through all the links before and after, so as not to miss something.

"In addition to the farms, in order to avoid detection, we also store some resources in various places, about two to three percent of the total, but they are relatively scattered. If I didn't care about safety and didn't pick it up myself, but let my men send it directly, I would probably be able to get half of it in three days. ”

This time, Lyles was silent, but it didn't take long before he said, "You don't have to do this, you just need to sit on the farm and distribute the resources inside." After that, you go and take everything else away, and turn it all into mid-level obsidian, don't go back to the family for the time being, wait for me to arrange it. ”

Hill lowered his head and bent over and said "yes". The face that couldn't be seen clearly was full of solemnity, and the middle-grade obsidian saved the trouble of the huge number of low-level ones, and it was not like the high-level ones that were easy to attract attention in the general market, as a qualified merchant, he understood the meaning of the patriarch just from this point. He bowed down, leaving the room to Lyles once more.
