(Power Line - Fonta Line)

In the halls of the Midtown Federation, the Central Capital, Fonta Eduardo, Moran Ridno, Caschua Lorenzo, Sith Bogut, Carter Pinzi, Winston Hank, Lambert Giulino, Trunick Stevens, and Robert Adrian, nine consuls gathered to discuss the prospects for the development of the North. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I don't agree! The power of our Midtown Federation is vast enough, and it is very risky to continue to march north!" Robert Adrian, the patriarch of the Robert family, roared hoarsely.

Robert Adrian is sixty-seven years old, but he still serves as a member of the Ninth Congress, because his only son, Robert Hawley, died at the Battle of Crow two years ago, and after that, Robert Adrian has never been able to establish an heir.

"Lord Robert, your mind is as old as your age, and the Midtown Federation needs to be constantly developed in order to become the greatest empire on the continent of Arro!" Fonta Eduardo said with a sneer, looking at Adrian.

"Eduardo, watch your tone! I'm from your father's life!" Adrian roared.

Eduardo immediately smiled and bowed in apology, but Marchua Lorenzo looked at it with some unease in his heart.

"Lord Fonta, it's really debatable that we continue to move north, and if the territory is too much out of our control, we really won't be able to handle it......" Moran Ridno said softly.

Moran Ridno was a very steady man, and Eduardo knew very well what Ridno was thinking, so Eduardo smiled.

"Don't worry, Lord Moran, I'm not stupid enough to attack casually, so we will send an exploratory force to the north first, and then make plans after we find out everything, I should be right with this idea, right?" said Eduardo with a smile.

"This ...... It can't be considered a problem......" Reedno had to say.

"What about after the exploration? Is there another war?" continued Adrian.

"It's pioneering, pioneering. Eduardo re-emphasized.

"War means sacrifice! My Hawley died in needless war!" Adrian roared.

"Capture the Crow Passage is a senseless war, and if Hawley hears such words from you, Lord Robert, then he will not turn a blind eye. Eduardo said sarcastically.

"Hawley is my son!my only son!He's only son because you Fonta started a damn war!" Adrian roared at Eduardo and glared at him.

"It's a Midtown Confederation war!" Eduardo said coldly, staring straight at Adrian in a chilling way.

At this time, everyone present knew that the atmosphere was very bad at this time, and Caschua Lorenzo exchanged glances with Sith Bogut and Winston Hanke, and Lorenzo immediately stood up with a smile.

"Ike, I think we all understand what it means to take the Crow Passage, Lord Robert is just because his only son died on the battlefield, so he can't let go for a long time. ”

Lorenzo said with a smile, and at this time Adrian was about to say something, but Bogut patted him on the shoulder, Adrian held back the words that came to his mouth, but he gritted his teeth and was still glaring at Eduardo.

"You know best, the Crow Passage has brought us a lot of convenience, both commercially and militarily, and I, Fonta Eduardo, have never done anything that is not beneficial. Eduardo said coldly.

"Lord Eduardo, we understand. Winston Hank said immediately.

"Shall we discuss it next time?" said Carter Pinchi, softly.

Carter Pinzi, the father of Carter Heller and an older member of the Ruling Council, plans to cede the position of patriarch and member of the ruling council to his eldest son, Carter Good, in the near future.

"It's decided now, and I'll arrange for people to explore the north. Eduardo said strongly, which made everyone in the audience speechless.

Lambert Giulino and Trunik Stevens looked at each other, and then they looked at the angry Adrian together, Giulino and Stevens had always been close to Adrian, they saw Adrian so angry, they wanted to comfort Adrian, but when the two just walked over, they were pushed away by Adrian.

"Don't think you're alone in the Midtown Federation, boy!" Adrian said viciously to Eduardo.

"Hey, of course, the Midtown Federation has a ruling council, but it's just some old and decrepit councillors, I think it's time to abdicate and make way for Xian. Eduardo said with a sneer, which made everyone present tremble.

"You...... You!" Adrian pointed at Eduardo, speechless in anger.

"Ike! that's enough!" Lorenzo shook his head slightly, and Eduardo smiled at him, and said no more, and the day's meeting ended in such an unpleasant state.

Julino and Stevens left the council chamber with an angry Adrian in their arms, and then Redno, Pinzi, and Bogut retired one after another, leaving only Eduardo, Lorenzo, and Hank in the council chamber.

"Ike, you're going a little too far, anyway, Lord Robert is also a council veteran, and he has a close relationship with your father, Lord Narus, you ...... so," Lorenzo said with some trepidation.

"It's okay, Prince, how close the relationship between the previous generation is, it has nothing to do with our generation, if the Midtown Federation wants to continue to progress and develop, it must abandon the old ideas, we need to reform, not stagnate. In private, Eduardo still enjoyed chatting with Lorenzo, after all, the two were the most like-minded, so Eduardo laughed.

"But...... Are you really going to deal with Mistress Robert?" Lorenzo was still upset by this.

"I just want him to step down early, this old guy can't get down from the position of the ruling member of the Ninth Congress, and many talented young people won't have a chance to go up, right, Hank?" At this time, Eduardo looked at Hank with a smile again.

"The Winston family was recommended by the Fonta family to get the position of the Nine Ruling Councilors, so we Winston will fully support Eduardo's decision. Hank whispered, which made Eduardo laugh again.

"Haha, Hank, Hank, don't always say things like that. Eduardo said with a smile, Hank only smiled slightly, he didn't respond to Eduardo's words.

"But Lord Narus won't let you touch Lord Robert easily. Lorenzo's face was a little solemn, which was not quite the usual style of an elegant prince.

"My father has been seriously ill recently, so I still don't want him to know about this kind of thing, and I don't want him to worry about it. Eduardo's expression also became solemn, and Lorenzo nodded slightly, he knew that Eduardo had made up his mind, and there was no need for him to say anything.

That night, at the Fonta Manor, all the members of the Fonta family gathered together to enjoy a dinner party, and today, even the rebel in the family, the rare sixth son of Narus, Fonta Le Mans, returned to the central capital.

"Hey, Le Mans, it's rare that you have time to go home. Eduardo said to Le Mans with a smile.

"Hey, Ike, Nice doesn't know, I provoked a noblewoman in Hellas Bay last time, and that noblewoman was clamoring to marry me, so I ran all the way back to Zhongdu, I want to recuperate here for a while, after all, I almost lost my freedom. Le Mans devoured his food, while not forgetting to answer Eduardo's words.

Le Mans's move made some people in the Fonta family quite unhappy, in the family, many people think that Le Mans has lost the face of the Fonta family, and among them, the eldest son Eduardo and the seventh son Fonta Crum are more closely related to Le Mans.

"Ha, don't you know, now our sixth brother is on the continent of Yarrow, and his fame is getting higher and higher, and he is a popular troubadour wherever he goes. The second son, Fonta James, was still the same, always smiling, and he told everyone about Le Mans, and Le Mans was a haha, ignoring James, but continuing to gobble up.

"How long has it been since you've eaten, Le Mans, and you're hungry like this...... Crum said with a wry smile.

"I eat and drink a lot every day!" Le Mans said with a smile.

"Then I'm really convinced of you......" Krum was frustrated, but there was no doubt that he liked his Le Mans brother very much.

Everyone was chatting when Fonta Akpos, the fifth son of the Fonta family, suddenly threw the wine glass in his hand into the face of Lee Coriano, who was sitting diagonally across from him.

"Bastard, how dare you steal my wine!" Akpos yelled at Coriano, whose eyes were wide open and he looked overwhelmed.

Everyone's eyes were on this side, and Akpos glared angrily at Coriano, who was eager to burrow under the table, feeling embarrassed by his lack of status in the Fonta family, and at this time, it was Fonta Alice who stood up.

"Brother Akpos, Cory, he may not have noticed that the pot of wine is for you, I will apologize to him, sister, I will pour you a glass of wine, you should not be angry. Alice said with a smile, and Akpos scratched his head when he saw that Alice had said this, but he still glared at Coriano angrily, and Coriano smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.

At this time, the tenth son Fonta Jaica looked at Coriano, he shook his head slightly, even Jaca hated Coriano, originally Jeca wanted to train Coriano to be his cronies, but this Coriano kept disappointing him.

Fonta Siris, on the other hand, kept silent and ate silently, he had no interest in these farces, and it was estimated that only spells could excite Siris.

At this time, Fonta Naruth was the first to finish the meal, and his recent health was quite unsatisfactory, and he stood up with the help of the servant, and all the members of the Fonta family immediately stood up and watched Narus leave the restaurant.

"Ike, when the meal is over, come to my bedroom, I have something to say to you. Narus's voice was slightly tired, and Eduardo nodded slightly, indicating that the wait would pass.

He knew in his heart that Robert Adrian must have told Narus about today's meeting, and Narus must have wanted to talk to him about it.

Seeing that Eduardo had promised, Narus nodded with satisfaction, and with the help of the servant, Narus went back to his bedroom, and after Narus left, Eduardo made a gesture to everyone to continue eating, and everyone dared to sit down and continue.

"Jaime, Siris, wait for me in the study after dinner, I have something to explain. Eduardo said suddenly, and Jaime and Siris nodded immediately, they knew that Eduardo must have something important to order.

"Krum, you wait and tell Uncle Darker, Eposton, and Attila to wait in the study as well, and then you go to the study and wait for me as well. Eduardo explained to Krum again, and Krum also nodded, Eduardo's words, in the Fonta family, no one dared to question it.

"Hey, there's an important meeting, Ike, why didn't you call me in?" said Le Mans as he stretched, apparently comfortable eating.

"Ha, Le Mans, if you are interested in attending such a conference, I can't ask for it, but I want you to contribute to the family more than anyone else. Eduardo laughed when he heard Le Mans's words.

"I don't want it, I'm going back to my room to sleep, political games aren't for me. ”

Le Mans frowned, he was afraid that Eduardo would really look for him, so Le Mans quickly stood up and ran back to his room, which made Eduardo and the others couldn't help laughing, Eduardo had no way to take Le Mans, but he would always support Le Mans in his own choice.

Seeing all this in front of him, in this restaurant, there are two people who feel very unhappy, one is Jacca, the other is Coriano, there is any decision in the Fonta family, but the two families have no chance to participate, if Akpos does not participate in the meeting because Akpos is only good at action, not good at discussing things, then Jaica and Coriano, this is completely not valued by the Fonta family.
