Chapter 487: Not Everyone Can Sit on this Chair

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Florence was once an important city during the Renaissance of Europe. Even if humans entered the space era, this place still maintained the aura of Florence from the past. It did not transform into an ice-cold steel and concrete city due to the rapid development of social science and technology like Shenyang in Zhongzhou.

In Florence today, every brick was still full of artistic aura from the Renaissance. There were still a large number of tourists visiting every year, but few people knew that there was a huge family center settling in Florence.

Alexander – Europe’s once-glorified ancient family! This family had gone through several ups and downs and once again regained its glory with the constant changes of the times.

In the quiet manor, dozens of martial artists wandered around both openly and in secret. There were a couple of them hiding in the bunker, watching their surrounding secretly.

These armed forces were not designed to monitor or defend against sudden attacks from other large forces. The true powerful large forces would consider more for doing other things. Under normal or unnecessary circumstances, they wouldn’t launch an attack on a family headquarters.

These forces, either overt or covert, really only needed to safeguard against was in fact a few or few dozens of people who had just formed a group. These newly established forces always wanted to make a name for themselves in the shortest time. They had an exaggerated opinion of their abilities and they had nothing to fear. They often chose a large force as a way to hit the first shot.

The people in the upper echelons of the family were not all masters of martial dao strength. Some people who didn’t have martial dao talents had very good business ability, strong communication skills or outstanding ability in politics.

These people’s martial strengths were not strong and it was very easy for them to get shot in the back. These various security measures around had formed a protection net that claimed that even birds couldn’t fly into this place, protecting those who were not strong in martial strength.

A luxury and expensive car appeared near the manor. A large number of blonde and stylish men and women got off the car and walked into the manor’s living room with spring-like faint smiles.

The Alexander Family was a huge family. Everyone was normally very busy and there were few opportunities to gather together. Some people even had businesses on the outer planets.

After everyone met, it was natural for them to exchange pleasantries. In the living room of the room, people might be in groups of three or five or whispered in pairs. They would secretly look at the others around once in a while.

Today, the people who could be here were very clear about what happened to the Alexander’s Family. Diana Alexander, the acting patriarch had an irreconcilable contradiction with their true patriarch Caesar Alexander due to the direction of the family not long ago.

Diana, who had been willing to help Caesar Alexander, launched an important meeting to dismiss Caesar from his position today.

The patriarch was in charge of huge resources. He practically had the power to control the life or death of everyone in the family and every department. Normally, with Caesar having excellent martial arts talent and the help of Diana Alexander, everyone could only stare at the throne of the patriarch with jealousy.

This time, Caesar had rejected Zuo’s Family’s invitation to form an alliance for interest and chose a martial dao master who had little power in his hands. Caesar had made what seemed like the stupidest decision in history.

Anyone who could attend the meeting felt the patriarch’s throne waving to them. Even if they couldn’t get the patriarch’s throne this time, they would like to discuss everything with the supported one and wait for him to redistribute the benefits immediately after he assumed power.

The manor’s living room had gathered more than fifty people within half an hour. If the building of the house was not unique and the living room was large enough, it would be really difficult to put fifty people in the same room.

The door suddenly opened at this moment. Those who were whispering softly immediately stopped talking and looked at the front door. At the front door, Diana Alexander, dressed in Chinese costume with a bit of cold splendor on her face, walked slowly into the room with the indescribable feeling of a great lady.

Although she only acted on the behalf of the patriarch in years of executing the family, Diana had still succeeded in establishing a real authority in the eyes of everyone. Those who previously had thought of spying on and casting greedy eyes on the family’s throne for a time left this thought behind their heads. They were just thinking about how to get benefits for their small family at the conference.

As for the patriarch? The people secretly caught a glimpse of the three martial artists behind Diana and immediately gave up the idea of scrambling for it.

A sixteen-star level martial dao master plus two fifteen-star level martial dao masters, this strength was enough to suppress everything! Everything including the abolition of the disobedient patriarch, Caesar, could be done easily.

Diana Alexander looked around at the faint-hearted gaze of the people in the room and made a long sigh of helplessness in her heart. These people in front of her were outstanding elites in all fields, but there was a lack of vigor in their spirit akin to the magnificent momentum of a king that was surrounded by the masses!

Caesar had it! Diana thought that Caesar was even more disconsolate in his heart. In order to allow Caesar to concentrate on martial arts, she took on the burden of managing the whole family, except those that taught him the necessary abilities of a patriarch. All of this was for when his martial dao star-level strength raised to the point where it could not be promoted. Then she was going to let him take over this huge family while she just concentrated on assisting him.

“To make such an extreme choice for a so-called friendship.” Diana hated Qin Fen. She had to kill the best heir of the family that she personally had cultivated for years today with her hands.

People avoided the eyes of Diana. Her heart sighed again and again when she saw it. Caesar! Caesar! How many years it took for Alexander’s to raise such a Caesar!? Now it actually…

Diana accepted the salute of everyone and nodded arrogantly in return. She sighed and walked forward at an elegant pace and said to the people around her, “Everyone is invited here this time. I think everyone knows what happened, so I will not repeat anything. Now, please come with me to the conference room, we have to make a solemn vote for our great Alexander’s Family in the sacred meeting room.”

Diana walked in front of the team and the others were arranged according to their respective forces. They carefully followed behind Alexander’s “queen”.

The conference room was on the second floor. Diana walked on the pavement made of white jade. Every step she made was a clear thud. In everyone’s ears, it was just like the judge in the court tapping gently with a gavel before the judgment fell on Caesar.

On the second floor, there was a huge and decorated splendid door. Diana stopped her footsteps and the two maids quickly stepped forward and pushed the door open to welcome the queen of the Alexander Family.

The doors opened silently to both sides just like the prehistoric beast opening its terrible mouth. A ray of sunshine shone from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room to the door. Many people’s reaction in the first place was to cover their eyes against harsh sunlight with their hands.

Diana Alexander did not raise her hand to cover her eyes from the harsh light. Her arrogant face with cold confidence showed surprise and astonishment the moment the door of the conference room was pushed open.

The conference room which was supposed to be empty had already entered by someone else.

Caesar! People saw through their fingers clearly that the young man sitting on the throne of the conference room was Caesar whom everyone was going to dismiss in the meeting today!

That’s right! Diana’s eyebrows were gently twitching. On the seat of the patriarch throne in the conference room, Caesar sat with one leg over the other. His right elbow pressed against the handrail and his right hand slightly held in fist was against his right cheekbone, making it seemed like he had been waiting, with his head slightly cocked.

Poised, luxurious and magnanimous! Caesar sat casually on the patriarch throne. Everyone observed through the fingers and could feel a huge aura of power, some even had the idea of worshipping him.

King! Emperor! The words that showed the limitless power were flashing fast in everyone’s mind.

Diana crossed her hands in front of her abdomen and stood quietly outside the door looking face to face with Caesar at a distance.

Glaring light was cast on Caesar’s back and it spread to the door and every corner of the room. Diana’s heart trembled a little. How familiar this scene is!? This situation at this moment was so much like her father at one time, Odin Alexander’s aura of power!

“Caesar has really grown up.” Diana suddenly realized the problem. Her eyes slowly turned to the young men standing at both sides of the throne behind Caesar.

Solomon? That arrogant and conceited martial arts genius heir who had the opportunity to inherit another huge family of Europe in the future; who never willing to stand behind others! He was actually willing to stand quietly behind Caesar and act like a thug?

Diana felt a little dizzy. The rumored Solomon was silent but extremely arrogant. He even disdained standing behind the Old Solomon.

Such a person actually stood quietly behind Caesar with a clear supportive stance?

Many people had seen clearly the existence of Solomon and the low-pitched voice had been undulating in the crowd at the moment.

Yang Lie? Brooks? Diana’s eyebrows frowned tightly. These were the primary heir of the two relatively influential families on the ground in America. How come they’ve all appeared here? And they are just like Solomon, silently standing behind Caesar, acting as thugs?

Diana’s eyes swept over Xue Tian, who had a tired smile on his face, Du Peng, with a cold look and Qin Fen, who looked calm and peaceful, carrying a young man who had been beaten into abstract art in his hands.

“You guys…” Diana paused and asked coldly, “How did you get in?”

Caesar originally had his fist supporting his cheek. At this moment, he had his thumb, middle finger and index finger pressing on his cheek, “Dear aunt, the defense here is really bad.”

“Is it?” Diana stared at Caesar coldly, “Dear nephew, why did you come back? Are you also coming back to vote for the abolition of your patriarch position?”

“Dear aunt, you are really good at making jokes. I come back today is to tell you that the days of Alexander’s Family will not change.” Caesar slowly straightened his waist. He placed his hands quietly on the handrail of both sides of the table and chairs and said flatly, “Patriarch… not everyone can sit on this chair. I, Caesar, will continue to be the leader of this family!”

Caesar’s voice was not loud. However, his words were like a hammer hitting the hearts of everyone. The aura of power of the great emperor coupled with the superiority swept the whole room! Many people subconsciously stepped back quietly to avoid the powerful aura of power.

Diana looked coldly at Caesar who was sitting straight and gently waved her right index finger, as if drinking cool water, and gave a strong command, “Catch them all…”

The three martial dao masters looked at each other. The true energy that could blow people into the sky madly rushed out from their body to the roof, banging the wind chimes-like headlights in the house.

Caesar smiled and didn’t talk. The young men standing behind him dashed out at the same time and blocked him. The vast and majestic true energy that was suppressed in their bodies was surging wildly in succession. The strong wind of the true energy was drifting out at one time, making everyone’s long hair dancing and flying in the air.

A sixteen-star level martial artist! Another sixteen-star level martial artist! A fifteen-star level? Another fifteen-star level? A total of three fifteen-star level martial dao masters? There was also a fourteen-star level martial dao master! As for Caesar who sat steadily on the throne of the leader, he had no interest in making a move.

The three martial dao masters behind Diana had their expressions change multiple times in a row. How to fight this? Putting aside everything else, it was already a double suppression in terms of strength in star-level in this situation. What’s more…

The sixteen star-level martial dao master had not made a move yet. He looked dignified, as if carrying three big mountains on the back, and stared insistently at Xue Tian who was smiling tiredly and indolently. The sword aura of the sheathed katana was fierce, just like the saber that had been unsheathed. The slightest little bit inattention could let the body become the target of the aura of the katana, splitting into half.

The sixteen-star level martial dao master had a hard time but he was unable to complain about it. This swordsman with a tired and lazy smirk alone was difficult enough to deal with, let alone the existence of the sixteen-star level martial artist who gave people the feeling of facing a prehistoric monster. How the hell do I fight them? I am afraid that my brain will be removed from my body in not more than a dozen rounds.

The two fifteen-star level martial dao masters’ faces turned green. These three young martial dao masters… not only were their identities a problem, but their aura of power…

Fierce! Arrogant! Crazy! Full of surging passion as if they would die for Caesar in a battle, dying with a proud smile.

“Dear aunt, are you sure we still need to fight?”

Caesar said slowly and slightly lifted his foot, stepping on the long and expensive conference table. A fifteen-star level martial dao master strength kept coming out of his body. He walked on the conference table leisurely and looked at those members of the same family who were invited here behind Diana as if looking down at ants. He asked faintly, “What? You still don’t want to return to your position to work? Do you really want to change my position as the patriarch?”

Diana felt that everyone behind her was turning and leaving silently. In the blink of an eye, only Diana Alexander and her three martial arts master bodyguards were left in the room.

Papa…papa…

Diana suddenly applauded gently. Although she looked unwilling, her eyes were full of admiration and appreciation, “Interesting. Dear nephew, you win. I don’t know how much benefits you promised to the future heirs of their families for inviting them to come back to help you seize the patriarch throne, but I have to admit that you have succeeded. I am very happy, even if you have to pay the family’s huge benefits at the cost of coming back to seize the position of the patriarch. As your aunt, I’m still very happy. So…”

Diana raised her both arms elegantly and slightly. She slowly turned her body, “As a loser, I will do anything at your pleasure, but I hope you will not put these three martial dao masters who have good relations with our family in a difficult position. They will treat you well in the future…”

“Dear aunt, first of all, thank you for your affirmation.” Caesar jumped off the conference table and looked at Diana face-to-face, “But I want to tell you that you are wrong. These people came to help me take the position as the patriarch, but I didn’t give them a penny.”

“Oh?” Diana showed surprise in her twitching eyes. She looked around at the young people who looked arrogant, “This really surprises me, then I would like to ask my nephew, how did you invite them?”

“They are my friends.” Caesar’s expression showed incomparable pride, “They know that I am coming back to take back the patriarch position and they volunteered to come back with me. I can’t refuse their action because…”

Caesar’s face with incomparable pride was filled with a happy smile that Diana had never seen before, “If I refuse their help, they will hit me and even kill me. I am very afraid of pain and afraid of being beaten by them. I am also very timid and afraid of death. In order not to be beaten by them, get killed, and thrown into the Mediterranean Sea to be fed to the sharks, I could only let them come back with me.”

Diana opened her red lips, surprised, and looked carefully at the young people with faces that said: “now you know who you’re talking to”. There was a mere trace of a smile in her eyes. She could feel the extremely frivolous aura of these young people with an unspeakable intimacy, as Caesar had said but not meant that he was timid and afraid of being beaten.

Diana nodded slowly and sighed with her eyes filled with a happy smile, “My dear nephew, I am proud and happy for you. Now, I know why you chose to lose the patriarch position that day and support Qin Fen. You managed to find so many people whom you are willing to defend and are also willing to do the same for you. It is much more wealth than owning a planet! So what are you going to do with me?”

“If you don’t mind, I plan to ask you to continue to be my acting matriarch.” Caesar smiled and looked at the others, “Of course, the premise is that you must fully support us in our fight for Saturn.”

“You…” Diana covered her red lips and nodded slowly, “Okay, I see. I can do this. But, dear nephew, I want to tell you that even if the Alexander Family fully supports you, the forces for the battle for Saturn are still too weak.”

“My dear aunt, I know this.” Caesar looked at Solomon not far away, then at Yang Lie and then Brooks, “So, this time we are all on a march, we are not just here to occupy a family.”

“Are you all…?”

“Yes! Beautiful aunt.” Xue Tian leaned against Caesar’s strong shoulder happily, “Since we have to do it, we are going for something great!”
