Chapter 577: The Difference
"That's good." After Hutton finished speaking, he was about to leave the study, but suddenly heard a rush of footsteps coming from outside, Hutton's heart was suddenly startled, and he looked up to see the three family elders, who came in from the door with angry faces, and in a hurry, Hutton even saw Harvey's fleeting and panicked face...... "Good morning, three elders." Hutton glanced at Harvey's back from a distance, and then greeted the three elders one by one according to the number of courtesies, no way, although Hutton is the successor of the patriarch of the family, but these three family elders are all the brothers of the previous generation of patriarch Sain, in terms of identity and status, it is far from being comparable to Hutton, not to mention Hutton, even if the contemporary patriarch Sorensen sees it, he has to be polite.
"Hmph......" The three old men with angry faces glanced at Hutton, and without even the most basic etiquette, they just snorted coldly and walked straight past Hutton.
Hutton laughed twice with an embarrassed face, and then turned around and walked out of the study, the intention of the three elders Hutton was very clear in his heart, but Hutton did not intend to continue to care, because Hutton believed that his father Sorensen would solve all this, but before leaving, he quietly cursed in his heart: "A few old guys, a lot of old people are still so angry, and they are not afraid of being angry......
"Why are the three elders here, please take a seat, please take a seat......" Sorensen stood up with a look of surprise on his face, and then asked the three elders to sit down with a courteous face.
"Hmph, if the three of us don't come, are you and Hutton going to sell the Marfa family?" The person who spoke was none other than the chief elder of the Marfa family, Grom-Marfa, who had already assisted Sein when he was the patriarch of the Marfa family.
It wasn't until twenty years ago that Sein finally got a glimpse of a glimmer of hope to break through the legendary realm, so he passed the position of patriarch to Sorensen, and he traveled the entire world of Anriel alone, and finally entered the legendary realm that magicians dreamed of, and Grom, as Sein's most powerful assistant, naturally became the chief elder of the family.
For more than 20 years, Grom has been dedicated to family affairs, and Sorensen, the contemporary patriarch, also has a lot of respect for this chief elder, coupled with the gradual growth of Hutton, a rising star, the Marfa family can remain invincible in the confrontation of the Dark Blade, and it can even be said that at least half of the credit for the Marfa family is today is due to the three of them.
"Elder Grom, you...... What do you say? Since I, Sorensen Marfa, took over the position of patriarch, I have always been in charge of the family's interests, and where did you start when you sold the Marfa family? Grom's words were indeed a little too heavy, and even Sorensen, who had always been respectful to him, couldn't help but look a little unsightly...... There was a slight trace of regret on Grom's face, what he said just now was indeed a little too heavy, since Sorensen took over the position of patriarch, not to mention leading the rise of the Marfa family, but at least he was conscientious, without merit and hard work, but then, that trace of regret was replaced by anger.
"The family interests are in place all the time? If it weren't for Harvey's kid to tell us, the three of us old immortals still don't know, you and Hutton actually want to use the family elite to support the Tower of Twilight...... What is the Tower of Twilight? Was there ever such a force on the Plains of Light Wind? Will your support be able to bring gold to the Marfa family or will it be able to bring land? Don't be kidding, Sorensen, a force that has only been established for less than half a year, and even their elders, there are only a few dozen people, and they are just afraid that they won't even be able to pay for the Marfa family's past travel expenses......"
"Elder Grom, can you listen to me, this time Hutton is going to the Blackstone Mountains......"
"Don't follow me Tichton!" Unexpectedly, it was good that Sorensen didn't say anything, this sentence had just come out, and the chief elder's anger almost burned down the study: "All along, the three of us old immortals have felt that although Hutton is still young, he is steady and thoughtful, and he is also very relieved that you will hand over the inheritance of the family to him, but this time he really disappointed us so much that he actually made such a ridiculous decision without telling us." ”
"Elder Grom......"
"Okay, Sorensen, I'll tell you the truth, Hutton's decision is too ridiculous, we don't believe it at all, this is made by the future patriarch of the Marfa family, based on this reason, we have to suspect that Hutton and the Tower of Twilight have some shady deals, and you Sorensen is Hutton's biological father, you can't know these things, so, we are here today to ask you to temporarily hand over the position of patriarch, and our three elders will temporarily manage the family, and wait until the matter is clear, and put the position of patriarch in the hands of those whom we deem suitable. ”
"You...... You're not kidding, Elder Grom, yes, the family elders do have the power to impeach the patriarch, but it must be in extraordinary times, and now you want me to hand over the patriarch's position because of such an unsettled matter, who can convince the Marfa family? ”
As he spoke, Sorensen couldn't help but feel a little angry, although he had long known that it was nothing good for the three elders to come, but he didn't expect that the matter would be so serious, and he would actually use the power to impeach the patriarch...... You must know that the power of the Marfa family has always been held by the patriarch and the three elders, which is a rule that has been continued for hundreds of years, the patriarch and the elders balance and contain each other, so that there will be no situation where one side dominates, but in the past hundreds of years, the elders of the Marfa family have rarely really impeached the patriarch, because in this way, it is really a tear of face, and there is no room for the two sides to turn around.
Unexpectedly, this time, the three elders actually wanted to give way to themselves...... "Okay, Sorensen, in three days, we will hold a meeting of the patriarchs, and the thirteen elders of the Marfa family will jointly decide whether you are qualified for the position of patriarch, as for before that, you must immediately stop supporting the tower of twilight, and at the same time hand over all the family affairs in your hands." ”
"What if I don't hand it over?"
"It......'s okay if you don't hand it over," Grom slowly stood up and said word by word, "But you will be charged with betraying the family!" ”
"You ......" Sorensen almost didn't catch his breath, he had been in charge of the Marfa family for decades, and he never thought that he would one day be charged with betraying the family.
"Who betrayed the family?" Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open.
With that soft "squeak", everyone's bodies, including Chief Elder Grom, couldn't help but stiffen...... The entire Marfa family, and indeed the entire Arminia, will always have only one person who dares to open the door of Sorensen's study without knocking...... That's Hutton's grandfather, Sorensen's father, the eldest brother of the three elders, and the legendary mage Sean who has supported the Marfa family for decades!
That's right, it was Sain who came...... This legendary powerhouse of Megatron Arminia looks much younger than his actual age, with a tall figure and a handsome face, except for a slight gray hair, he looks almost like he is in his thirties, maybe because he rarely shows a smile, Sein's handsome face looks like a cold marble, which makes people can't help but feel a little afraid, after entering the door, Sein didn't speak, just glanced coldly at the three elders in the study.
Sein didn't speak, the three elders naturally didn't dare to speak, Sorensen still stood there, and didn't get up to greet him, and for a while, the atmosphere in the study suddenly became a little weird.
"Sorensen, I heard that you are planning to betray the Marfa family?"
"No, father, as a descendant of the Marfa family, I will never betray the Marfa family."
"Yes." Sean just nodded, and from the expression on his face, he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, and the legendary mage gently lowered the staff that never left his body, and then sat down on a chair, and then said something that made the three elders tremble: "So, it's Grom and the three of them who are spreading rumors?" ”
"Big ...... Big brother, we ...... We're not spreading rumors! ”
"Yes." Sein still only nodded, and glanced at the three elders again: "Then you three tell me, why did Sorensen betray the Marfa family?" ”
"Here's the thing, big brother ......" Grom suppressed the fear in his heart, and repeated the matter of the Tower of Dusk requesting support from the Marfa family to Sean again, this repetition was almost ten minutes, and when everything was finished, he trembled and defended himself: "Big brother, the rules are set by the ancestors, it's not that the three of us have to embarrass Sorensen, what kind of tower of twilight has only been established for a few months, and there are only a few dozen people even with the president, why should they form an alliance with the Marfa family?" Why do you ask the Marfa family to send support? Even if you are angry, big brother, I still have to say that this incident, Hutton and Sorensen father and son, have already harmed the interests of the Marfa family! ”
Grom struggled to say this, his back was completely wet with cold sweat, no way, the pressure when facing Sean was too great, although in terms of blood relationship, Sein was the eldest brother who couldn't be kissed by the three elders present, but so what? Not to mention the majesty that Sean had accumulated when he was in charge of the family, the strength of the legendary mage alone now doomed the three elders to have a normal conversation with the elder brother when they stood in front of him.
Once a person enters the legendary realm, he can no longer be required by the standards of mortals, that is close to the level of gods, regardless of whether Sain was the patriarch of the Marfa family before, whether he was the eldest brother of the three elders, the current Sain is a legendary mage, a legendary mage close to the gods, the distance between him and mortals can be described by heaven and earth, to a certain extent, he even abandoned some normal human emotions, it can be seen from Hutton, Hutton is obviously his grandson, However, he forbade Hutton to call him grandpa, and all along, Hutton only used the word "teacher" to address Sean...... This is the difference between a legendary powerhouse and a mortal......
