Chapter 688: The Second Elder's Calculation
The Rollinster family is an ancient and huge family, with more than 100 direct family members and direct members, such a huge family, although the current power is in the hands of the heir Erin on the surface, but in fact, it is not Erin who really holds the power of life and death in the family, Erin is just a figure who is pushed out and exposed to the public.
The current Rollinster family, the real control is Erin's great-grandfather Hans Rollinster, that has experienced two world wars of the legend, before the world war, there are several families as powerful as the Rollinster family, but after the two world wars, the Rollinster family is not only not declining, but more prosperous and powerful, which of course thanks to the wise leadership of Hans Rollinster.
However, Hans Rollinster is now approaching the age of ninety, and he has long since ceased to care about the world, and he gradually decentralizes his power, and Irene's father, that is, Guy Rollinster, is the third elder, Klaus, Irene's second uncle, the second elder, and Leon Rollinster, the eldest elder.
Erin's father and two uncles are the actual controllers of the current family power, however, all this is because the old patriarch has not fully delegated power, and the new patriarch has not officially ascended the throne, once Erin's identity is officially changed from heir to patriarch, then she will completely control the entire Rollinster family.
At present, there is only one heir to the Rollinster family, and that is Erin, it can be said that if there is no accident, Erin will be in charge of the real Rollinster family within a few years, which is a sure thing, and Erin's ability has already won the recognition of people inside and outside the family.
However, apparently some people don't want Erin to sit in that position, such as Erin's second uncle, the second elder of the family, Klaus.
Klaus is in his sixties this year, and his former ambitions have almost worn off, and he has fought with Irene's father and eldest brother all his life, but in the end everything is in vain, because the old patriarch, who is also his father, has never relinquished power in his life, and has sat on the throne of the patriarch for more than fifty years.
Klaus has no hope of touching the supreme throne of the patriarch in his life, but this does not mean that he does not look down on this position, he has no hope, but he has offspring, has sons, he has married three wives, and has six sons under his knees, but these sons are all the second ancestors of the second generation of the sons of the gentlemen, even if he has the heart to cultivate and support, but the mud can't support the wall after all, his only hope at present is his little daughter, who is not much weaker than Erin in terms of ability.
However, Erin has already secured the position of heir, and it is too difficult for the old patriarch to change this appointment, and Erin's ability is obvious to all.
Klaus has been scheming all these years, looking for opportunities, looking for Irene's handle, and he has also collected some things that are not good for Irene, but these are not fatal enough to put his daughter on the throne, but now this opportunity has come.
In a palatially decorated room, where even the floor was paved with sapphires, a tall thin man with a peaked cap said respectfully to a middle-aged man in a crimson suit, "Second Elder, your guess is really good, Pojun really had an affair with Miss Erin, and now Pojun is in Miss Erin's boudoir." ”
"Haha. The man in the crimson suit was none other than Klaus, the second elder of the Rollinster family, in the entire Rollinster family, he was the top three figures, he heard the news reported by the man in the cap, first laughed wildly, and then nodded incessantly, "Not bad, not bad." Erin is a cautious girl, and she hasn't had any big tricks in my hands all these years, and this time, hmph, it only takes one time for me to pull her off the throne, go, Bruno, follow me to meet the patriarch. ”
When it comes to the patriarch, that is, his father, Klaus's face showed a look of worship, in the Rollinster family, the old patriarch Hans Rollinster is a myth, a legend, this person has too many legendary experiences, even Klaus, whose heart is higher than the sky, is also worshiped from the bottom of his heart when facing his father, who is the old patriarch.
Altar.
The three oldest families in Europe have their own family altars, which is the most mysterious place for the entire family, unless there are important descendants, ordinary descendants and direct members are afraid that Qi Qi will not be able to step into the altar for half a step in his life.
The altar of the Rollinster family, this is not a place of sacrifice, this is a very special and mysterious place, the strongest family guardians of the entire Rollinster family are guarded here all year round, never leaving the altar half a step, and the old patriarch Hans also lived in the altar due to physical decline a few years ago.
"Second Elder, it's not appropriate for me to enter the altar, right?" said Bruno, a man with a peaked cap, standing at the door of the altar. As a disciple of the Rollinster family, the number one master next to the Second Elder, he was still afraid of the altar. He had seen a servant enter the altar by mistake, only to see the servant again and see a dead body.
"You went in with me, what are you afraid of, the current Rollinster family, the old patriarch doesn't care about the world, and all the power is handed over to a girl, what kind of system is this, I, the second elder, still have this right. Walk. Klaus said as he stepped directly into the altar door.
After hesitating for a while, Bruno also followed, as soon as he stepped into the altar, he felt a burst of unusually fresh air coming to his nose, took a few breaths, the whole person was much lighter, and his spirit was also improved a lot, which made Bruno extremely frightened, he was inhaling fairy qi or something, it was so magical, no wonder the old patriarch would move in to live for a long time.
In a room built of green bamboo, Klaus saw his father, the control of the Rollinster family Hans Rollinster, after a period of greetings, Klaus began to add fuel and vinegar to the complaint, "Father, you have not asked about the world all these years, but you have handed over the family power to a little girl, not to mention, after all, Irene's ability is obvious to all, but no matter how strong the ability is, you can't do anything wrong and do things that damage the dignity and honor of the family, right?"
Erin is the heart of the old patriarch, in the huge Rollinster family, in fact, the ability can be compared to Erin's, not nothing, such as his second son Klaus's youngest daughter Luna, the girl who is only twenty-five years old is very capable, and she is also competent enough to be the patriarch of the family. Hans was also very clear about the purpose of Klaus's words, "Klaus, your words are too exaggerated, but you can tell me, what did Erin do that damaged the dignity and honor of the family?"
"Father, here's the thing, I told you before that Miss Irene has someone she likes, right?" said Klaus. What did you say at the time that a girl didn't have a spring, and it's normal for Erin to have someone she likes in her heart, as long as it's buried in her heart, it won't get in the way, yes, if Erin just buried this in her heart, it's really just her personal matter, but in the past few years, including Adolphin, as well as the Rockefeller and Morgan families in the North American continent have come to propose, but Erin has refused every time, is this still his personal matter?"
Hans closed his eyes and cultivated his spirits there, he was not the kind of martial artist Fang Chunliang, he was very ordinary, he had never practiced martial arts in his life, after all these years of physical decline, he followed the guardian of the family to learn some cultivation methods, this trick of closing his eyes and cultivating his spirit was one of them.
"Our Rollinster family is not weaker than Rockefeller and Morgan, and needs to consolidate their position through marriage, besides, Erin is the heir of the family, and the object of these two families to propose marriage is not the only designated heir of the family, if Erin marries, have you thought about all the consequences, so, Erin refused, whether it is for herself or for the entire Rollinster family, it is right, this is not the first time I have said to you, don't you understand?" Hans said softly with his eyes closed. These years of self-cultivation have made his state of mind very peaceful.
"Yes, father, you're right, and I don't approve of the proposal, but what if Erin is secretly having an affair with another man?" Klaus said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Hans Rollinster's lips squirmed a few times, obviously his mood fluctuated a little, but he still closed his eyes and said calmly, "Erin is my granddaughter, I know her person better than anyone else, she may have someone in her heart, but she will never do that kind of degrading thing, she is the heir of the family, and she will definitely not have an affair with any man before marriage, I am very sure of this." ”
"It's a human being, father, you have stayed at the altar all these years and don't ask about the world, I'm afraid I don't know how much Erin has changed now, you don't believe it, but I have evidence, now Erin is in the room with a man, as for what to do, we just need to turn on the family's monitoring system for the heir. Klaus said with confidence. His surveillance of Erin has reached an astonishing level, he has collected a lot of information about Erin and Fang Chunliang over the years, and the last time Erin personally went to Songshui City to negotiate a project, Klaus also secretly sent someone to monitor ......
He is eighty percent sure that Erin has an affair with Fang Chunliang, and Fang Chunliang is uninhibited, suave, and has a lot of women around him.
In the Rollinster family, there is only one secret that the old patriarch and the three elders know, that is, for the absolute safety of the family and prevent the breeding of traitors, in the rooms of the main lineage members and even the three elders, there are actually multiple surveillance videos installed, and to turn on the monitoring system, the old patriarch Hans Rollinster himself is needed.
