Chapter 1423: The ceremony was called off (1 more)
A large number of tribesmen have gathered at the gate of the castle.
The great elder finally ordered Alex at the door to open the door.
The door opened and everyone walked in slowly.
Everyone was confused and wondered what happened to the Great Elder today.
The great elder is now sitting in the middle of the elders' table, looking at the people in front of him, his face calm, as usual.
More than a dozen elders also sat beside him.
Below are the family heads from all over the world. If you pick any one of these people, you can say that they are as rich as anyone in the world. Most of them are not famous in the eyes of the world, but they secretly control countless industries.
Fifty percent of the world's wealth is in the hands of these people, and when it comes to influence, they can definitely influence the finance and politics of many countries around the world.
This is the power of the Bird family.
They are obviously very powerful, but they are willing to keep a low profile, never show off their wealth, and will not affect the political structure of various countries.
This is the clear instruction from our ancestors, and it is worthy of a pure businessman.
But still no country dares to go against them, because accumulation of wealth to a certain extent can really cause qualitative changes, and no country's political power dares to provoke them easily.
Just because they are not high-profile doesn't mean they don't have the capital to be high-profile.
Ian Bird also came in. In the past two days, he has been visiting the representatives and elders present today.
Now that he is about to take over as the clan leader, everyone respects him very much. Except for the elders of the Elder Pavilion, no one dares to despise him. Not only can they not despise him, but they must also show respect.
Because after a while, he alone has the final say for the entire family.
The future patriarch.
He is also the patriarch of the Bird family, this is no joke.
A group of guards stood around the crowd, surrounding the place like an iron barrel.
Some members of the clan also stood behind these people to watch the ceremony, because there were so many people that the gate was crowded with people.
Today's ceremony is very important to the entire family, which means that from now on, Ian Bird will be in charge of this super family.
Ian Bird has been waiting for this day for ten years.
No, he must have been waiting for this day since he was a child. Over the years, he has never changed his determination and goals.
So he was very proud today. A few days ago, he was still worried whether Evan Bird would return to the family again and cause some trouble, but now he is not worried at all.
We have come this far, there is nothing to worry about.
Looking at the highest position behind the elder's bench, his eyes shone with excitement and excitement.
Soon, he will be sitting there giving orders to everyone.
Thinking about everything he had experienced in the past, working hard for so many years, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and he admired himself so much.
Time passed by, from the beginning everyone was talking a lot, to later everyone shut up.
It seemed particularly quiet in the castle.
Everyone looked towards the elders' table together, waiting for the great elder to announce the contents of the will, and then the succession ceremony would begin.
In the center, Ian Bird was dressed up to attend today. He was standing there alone, like a prince waiting to be canonized. He looked very elegant, and he also had an aura about him. This is the aura that only a superior person can have.
He already has it.
The tribesmen were also a little excited.
This is a big event.
However, gradually, everyone became a little curious.
The great elder has yet to make an announcement.
"It's almost time, Great Elder, should we make an announcement?"
The second elder couldn't help it anymore and reminded him.
Ian Bird below also looked at the great elder.
He was a little confused. The great elder usually supported him, at least he never opposed him being the heir. What happened today?
Is this delaying on purpose?
The great elder stood up and looked at everyone.
Everyone held their breath and did not dare to gasp loudly.
And Ian Bird became even more excited, his heart beating non-stop.
Finally waiting for this moment, there was already a smile on the corner of his mouth.
That is the smile that only a winner will have.
The great elder's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"According to the ancestral teachings, the successor of each patriarch must not only have business talent, but also have a noble personality. Ian Bird, do you think you have a noble personality? Have you ever done anything to disgrace the family?"
ah?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
What is going on?
Isn't it about reading out the will?
Including all the elders, they were all a little shocked.
The second elder who supported Ian Bird the most frowned.
Alex and the third elder looked at each other, and then winked at the other elders, as if they had some suspicion in their minds.
The seventh elder's expression changed slightly, he glanced at the elder, and he lowered his head, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
The family representatives below looked at Ian Bird with curious faces.
Ian Bird raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little confused, but still replied: "I have never done anything to disgrace my family."
He thought this was just a question added temporarily to convince the public, so he didn't panic.
But then, the great elder's words made him completely panic.
"Really? But someone reported that you poisoned the clan leader, ordered the housekeeper to poison the clan leader, killed someone and silenced him afterwards, and even deliberately framed Ivan Bird. Do you have anything to explain?"
ah?
The people below couldn't sit still.
"What, it's impossible?"
"Is there still such a thing?"
"If that's the case, he can no longer be the leader of the clan."
"Isn't the patriarch sick? Why was he poisoned?"
"What on earth is going on?"
"Who reported him?"
"Is it Master Ivan? But hasn't he been expelled from the family?"
"Yes, it must be Master Ivan."
…
The representatives were all talking a lot, and the scene was a bit chaotic.
Ian Bird's face looked a little ugly. He was panicking, but he didn't show it. He took a breath and said calmly: "Great Elder, you said someone reported it, who was it?"
"Evan Bird."
The great elder said calmly.
Ian Bird laughed loudly: "Great Elder, you know clearly that Ivan Bird is my competitor and former heir. He made a mistake and was expelled from the family. This is already a fact. What about his report?
Can it be accepted? Don’t you think this is a joke? Also, how do I know if he reported it? Great Elder, you are from the Elder Pavilion.
The person in charge, you are now the acting clan leader. Your words will have an impact on everyone. You can't say nonsense. Don't you support me as the heir, or are you deliberately going against everyone's wishes and preventing me from succeeding as the clan leader?
, but don’t forget, this is the will left by the patriarch, and everyone has verified that this will is true!"
