Chapter 5552: Not Buying It
At this moment, the head of the Lin family was deeply shocked and at the same time felt fortunate that the Lin family had made friends with Kai.
“Father, Kai is gone. What did you say to him?”
When Lin Yuner saw Kai leaving, she walked into the room and asked.
“Don’t ask any more questions. Just serve Kai these few days. Give him whatever he wants. Do you understand?”
The head of the Lin family gave instructions to Lin Yuner.
“I understand, it’s just that he was too fierce. I feel a little pain and want to rest…” said Lin Yuna.
“Don’t worry, you have to persevere even if it hurts. Our Lin family will depend on him in the future.”
The head of the Lin family scolded.
Lin Yuner could only nod. She knew that whether the Lin family could control Dongxiang County depended entirely on Kai.
After Lin Yuner left, the head of the Lin family immediately sent people to summon all the major forces in Dongxiang County to discuss the future development of Dongxiang County.
Now that the princess is dead, we can’t always be leaderless.
The news that Patriarch Lin had summoned all the major forces in Dongxiang County spread like wildfire throughout the county, and each force attended the meeting with different intentions.
On the day of the conference, the hall of the Lin Mansion was crowded with people, representatives of various forces were either sitting or standing, and the atmosphere seemed a bit tense.
The head of the Lin family sat in the main seat. Although his spirit had only recently returned to its place and his face was slightly pale, his eyes revealed unquestionable majesty. [Read e-books and novels at the e-book house website; e)§Update-?.Latest~&Fast,§
“The reason why we have called you all here today is that Dongxiang County cannot be without a leader for a single day. Now that the princess has passed away, we should re-elect a virtuous person to lead Dongxiang County to prosperity.” The head of the Lin family’s voice was loud and echoed in the hall.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a discordant laugh was heard.
Representatives from the Zhao, Qian and Sun families stood up with disdain on their faces.
Zhao Hu, the head of the Zhao family, was a burly man with a face full of flesh. He shouted loudly, “Master Lin, what qualifications do you have for your family to lead the selection of the Princess? Are you trying to seize control of Dongxiang County and monopolize power?”
Qian Wanguan, the head of the Qian family, was thin but had a sinister look in his eyes. He echoed sharply, “That’s right. Your Lin family is just relying on that little power to claim supremacy. Don’t you even consider your own strength?”
Sun Ba, the head of the Sun family, had an arrogant look on his face. He crossed his arms and sneered, “Head of the Lin family, you’ve just recovered your soul, how much strength do you have left? Don’t show off here. The position of the princess is not something your Lin family has the right to get involved in!”
Upon hearing this, the head of the Lin family’s expression changed slightly, but he suppressed his anger and said, “My Lin family has devoted all his efforts to Dongxiang County for many years. Now that the princess is gone, it is only natural for my Lin family to take charge of the overall situation.
If you have a better candidate, please feel free to bring it forward. As long as it is for the good of Dongxiang County, my Lin family will definitely support it.”
Zhao Hu, however, refused to buy it. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, “Support? What can you support me with? As for the position of Princess, none of our three families will accept your Lin family’s decision! If it were up to me, I’d choose one from among our Zhao, Qian, and Sun families!”
Qian Wanguan and Sun Ba also nodded. For a moment, quarrels broke out in the hall. Representatives of various forces split into several factions, accusing and scolding each other. The situation was out of control for a while.
Seeing this, Patriarch Lin was anxious and angry. He was about to speak to stop them when Zhao Hu suddenly moved and rushed towards him, shouting, “Patriarch Lin, if you don’t agree, let me test your skills!”
The head of the Lin family did not expect Zhao Hu to attack suddenly. He had just recovered his soul and his strength had not yet fully recovered. He had no time to dodge.
Just as Zhao Hu’s fist was about to hit the head of the Lin family, a figure flashed by like a ghost and instantly appeared in front of the head of the Lin family. He raised his hand and grabbed Zhao Hu’s fist.
Everyone looked closely and found that it was Kai.
Kai’s face was calm, but there was a chill in his eyes. He shook Zhao Hu lightly, and he staggered back several steps.
