Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

In the huge private room.

Except for a few who did not come, all the elders were present.

They were the few people in the Ji family who had the right to speak.

Ji Ziyin’s words broke the peaceful atmosphere.

Everyone looked calm. They were either drinking tea or looking at the scenery outside…

Everyone was a sly old fox.

No one was willing to take the lead.

Ji Ziyin had always known how to make use of her advantages. Thus, she gave Ji Hongyuan a look to signal him to start.

Anger flashed across Ji Hongyuan’s sharp eyes.

Sensing his gaze, Leonard tilted his head slightly and met Ji Hongyuan’s eyes.

Ji Hongyuan took a deep breath. His face was ashen as he unwillingly stood up, raised his wine glass, and loudly said, “Everyone, I know your concerns. Let me share my thoughts! Although Ji Nan is a direct descendant, he has no research or experience in black gunpowder. He has also been fooling around outside all these years. If he inherits the family, the family will definitely go downhill in the future!

“We are all elders of the Ji family.” He slowed his tone and looked around the table. He said in a low voice, “l know that everyone is willing to come here today for the sake of the family’s future. It’s not for personal desires…” Ji Hongyuan was indeed the elder in charge of the Punishment Hall.

He livened up the atmosphere with just a few words.

The elders looked at each other and smiled. “Yes, we’re not here for personal gains and grudges.”

“We’re doing this for the family’s future.”

“Who doesn’t want a better future for the family? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come today.”

Everyone spoke one after another, beautifying themselves as if they had no selfish motives. They were gathered together on this night purely for the benefit of the family.

Leonard’s disdainful gaze swept across them all. Then, he raised his teacup and interrupted their pretentious performance. “Alright, let’s get down to business.’

Ji Hongyuan started. “l suggest we skip Madam and directly appoint Ziyin as the new Matriarch.’

Ji Ziyin felt the gazes on her.

She calmly lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea without saying anything.

The elders immediately started whispering.

“That’s not a good idea. right? Will Madam agree?”

“That’s right. According to the rules, when the old patriarch passes away, a child of his should replace him as the new Patriarch.”

“Ji Nan is a direct descendant, after all. There has never been a precedent of someone from the side branch inheriting the Patriarch position. It’s not good for us to break the rules, right?”

Ji Ziyin’s eyes darkened, and her oval face turned gloomy…

Ji Hongyuan and Ji Xiao were secretly anxious.

At this moment, the sound of a teacup hitting the table could be heard.

The elders quietened down.

Leonard elegantly wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue before looking at them.. “Since when did the independent continent value the distinction of the direct and side branches so much? The reclusive families have always believed in the strong being respected! “
