The five young people looked at each other, not knowing how to speak, in front of so many elders in front of them, the five young people were obviously not ready to take charge alone.

Silence, silence, and finally the eldest, Claude, stood up, tried to calm himself as much as he could, and then said to Kargas: "Father, elders, I think that we should first stabilize the southern port, because it is the lifeblood of our foreign economy, and keep it, even if the minerals are taken away by the mob, they will not be able to transport them out." ”

"Well, Claude is a big brother after all, and he looks like a big brother. The old man, who cared about the port, squinted his eyes and expressed his approval to Claude.

Obviously, Claude's words spoke to the old man's heart, and the old man also felt that the port should be kept first, as long as the port was in the hands of the family, the riots in those mines would not matter at all.

Kargas nodded, did not express any opinion, but looked at the other young people and said: "You can also speak, don't be afraid, speak freely, today you can speak freely, rest assured, even if you say something wrong, no one will blame you, I want you to promise." ”

Hearing Kargas's assurance, the other four young people were naturally eager to take the test, and they all wanted to stand up and share some of their opinions and opinions.

However, seeing Claude still standing there, the other young people hesitated, feeling that by standing up and speaking, they were suspected of stealing the limelight with Claude.

Kargas squinted his eyes, as if he saw the young people's concern, and waved his hand to signal Claude to sit down first: "Claude, you sit down first, let your brothers also say a few words, you must remember that even if you become the head of the family in the future, you must be tolerant enough to allow others to say different things." ”

Claude bowed and slowly retreated to the bench and sat down. Wait quietly for the next person to stand up and speak.

Seeing that the young man was still a little restrained, Kargas directly called and said: "Laurent, you are the second in line to the throne, so you can say it second, and then Hugh, Lemmon, and Fitas, in turn." ”

After being named, the second eldest Laurent stood up, saluted the elders present, and then said, "Father, elders. My thoughts are the same as my eldest brother's, I think we should keep the port first, after all, the southern port is our lifeblood, and if we keep it, we will have the initiative. ”

Laurent didn't say anything, and went straight back to the bench and sat down, looking very capable, not caring at all what others said about him.

As soon as Laurent sat down, the fourth Lemmon and the fifth Fitas spoke in unison, "We." We also agree with the big brother. ”

Seeing that three of the five brothers only knew what it meant to echo the boss Claude, Kargas felt a little unhappy in his heart, but there was no expression on the surface.

Instead, he smiled and looked at the only third person who didn't speak, Hugh, and asked, "Hugh." What do you think, and agree with Claude?"

To everyone's surprise, Hugh, who usually doesn't talk much, stood up and saluted everyone, and then said very calmly: "I don't agree with the eldest brother's opinion. I think that for the sake of the future, the family should do everything possible to control the situation and cut off the remaining mines from the outside world. Keep the only part of the mine you have. ”

"What?" Hugh's words obviously surprised everyone again, and no one expected that Hugh, who seemed to be calm and calm and silent, would say such a thing.

Everyone was amazed, but Kargas remained calm, staring at Hugh with Yang Jing squinting, and said in a deep voice: "Go on, tell me your reason, why did you do that?"

Although Kargas's words of no sorrow or joy had a special meaning in everyone's ears, Hugh was always sleepy-eyed, as if he had just woken up, standing there alone, his thin body seemed a little thin compared to the powerful aura in the whole room.

But his words were unusually firm, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Now that the mine has had an accident, we should not continue to ignore it, let the incident continue to develop and expand, and we must do everything possible to stop the incident." ”

Speaking of this, Hugh raised his head and glanced at the old man in the second place on the left hand of Kargas, as if he noticed the sharpness of the old man's gaze, and when he came into contact with that gaze, Hugh's body shook unconsciously.

Soon Hugh stabilized his body and continued: "As for the ports in the south, first, the south is far away from us, and secondly, those ports in the south have always been in charge of the metal people sent by the mechanical castle. ”

"Is it worth the loss?" the old man finally couldn't bear it anymore when he heard this, stared at Hugh with a sullen face, and asked in a deep voice.

Hugh still replied with neither humility nor arrogance: "Yes, the gains outweigh the losses, we should not waste limited manpower and material resources to seek the near and far, we should concentrate our efforts to minimize losses and stabilize the current situation." ”

"Hmph, Huangkou Xiao'er, what do you know? Do you think that the family is now on the verge of life and death? Do you think that we have no strength? Can we only passively wait to be overturned by others? Do you really think that after drinking ink for a few days, you think that you have the ability to analyze the situation?"

The old man was obviously angry at Hugh's words, and finally couldn't help but stand up and reprimand Hugh directly, not paying the slightest attention to Calgas's previous assurances.

The old man sitting next to him smiled and stretched out his hand to take him and said, "Fillet, he is just a child, why do you need to be so angry? ”

As he spoke, the old man looked at Hugh again and said, "Hugh, quickly, apologize to your grandfather, what you just said is indeed a little too arrogant, and your grandfather taught you for your own good." ”

But in the face of the old man standing up to play the round, Hugh obviously didn't appreciate it, and looked at the old man Filit indifferently and said: "No, I'm not wrong, I'm just expounding my point of view, the patriarch has said it before, even if he says the wrong thing, he doesn't have to take responsibility, why should I apologize to him?"

"Little bastard, what are you talking about......" Filit suddenly stood up when she heard this, staring at Hugh angrily, and an extremely overwhelming aura erupted from her body. In an instant, Hugh was enveloped.

Faced with the powerful momentum released by Philitt, especially the powerful fighting qi contained in the breath, Hugh felt as if his body had been pierced by hundreds of sharp swords, dismembering his body in an instant.

Staggered back a few steps, his already white face became even paler, blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, and he stood there shaky, as if he would fall to the ground at any time, but he still gritted his teeth and stood up straight with his body propped up. Carried the oppression of the old man Philit.

Forcibly resisting the oppression of Fillet's momentum and the strong fighting spirit of the old man, Hugh said stubbornly: "I'm not wrong, it's just that you can't tolerate others saying different opinions." ”

Hugh's stubbornness made Philit even angrier, and he laughed angrily: "Hehehe, good, very good, you little bastard, you are really like your mother." It's a lowly birth, and I want to see how hard your bones are. ”

After that, the fighting spirit on Fillet's body completely bloomed. The crimson Dou Qi brilliance turned into a fresh bonus sword, and slashed straight towards Hugh's head, with the posture of wanting to completely split Hugh into two pieces, like a bloody crimson Dou Qi. The condensed blade made everyone's hearts tremble.

The middle-aged and young people sitting on the benches opposite the round table had clearly felt the terrifying power of the sword condensed by the fighting spirit, just the sword light that escaped. It made them feel a tingling pain in their bodies.

It was unimaginable for everyone to imagine what kind of pressure Hugh would have to endure when he stood under the sword? It was simply unimaginable, the momentum alone could shatter Hugh's internal organs, not to mention that the sharp sword with condensed fighting spirit still slashed straight at him.

Seeing that the sword blade was about to slash at Hugh, suddenly a soft light flickered, and the light quickly coincided with the light that the sword blade bloomed, and in an instant, the vast and terrifying sword blade disintegrated, turning into bits of fighting qi and scattering.

Then the voice of Kargas rang out: "Well, Uncle Phillet, Hugh is only a child, why should you be so angry, besides, he is your grandson after all, the only heir of your clan." ”

Although Filit is very old and ranks among the patriarchs of the family, when facing Kargas, Filit still does not dare to confront too much, not only because Kargas is now the patriarch of the family, but also because of the experience of Calgas's rise, which is enough to make the elders present have nothing to say.

Kargas glanced at Hugh, who still admired the stubborn young man in front of him, and Hugh dared to disagree, which showed that he was a very assertive child.

Thinking of this, Kargas glanced at Claude, his son's appearance today, which made Kargas feel a little disappointed, but Kargas is a person who never expresses his thoughts.

So he didn't show any dissatisfaction, but smiled and said to Claude: "Claude, take your younger brothers with you, take Hugh to take a good look, don't let him leave any sequelae, as their brother, I hope you can look like a brother, don't let me down." ”

Claude naturally did not know that his father was dissatisfied with his appearance, so he stood up and stepped forward to support Hugh, and after saluting with his brothers, he personally helped Hugh to turn and leave.

When the five young men left, the smile on Kargas's face suddenly disappeared, and he said to Philit in a deep voice: "Filit, I don't want to have a next time, don't think that I don't know about your little actions, if you are really not satisfied with your heir, then kill him directly, don't act in front of us." ”

"If there is another ......," Kargas said at this point, and a smile appeared on his face.

Filit had long lost the momentum he had before, especially when he saw the grim smile on Calgas's face, and because of the hideous scar that appeared next to his smiling cheek, Filit felt his heart suddenly stop, and quickly said, "Don't worry, there will never be a next time." ”

Kargas retracted his smile and nodded with satisfaction, "I hope you can remember that the current Xuejin family does not allow any more divisions, and we must unite at this time." ”

Hearing Kargas say this, the old and middle-aged people present were all in awe, and they all put on a hard look, showing their sense of glory for their family. (To be continued......)
