Chapter 365: Family troubles, we have backers behind us
The old housekeeper quickly explained what happened at home.
It turned out that two days ago, the family suddenly held a meeting, and several clan elders announced in public that they would join the "Royal Chamber of Commerce." From then on, the "Mibel Family" followed the Royal Chamber of Commerce and enjoyed the benefits provided by the royal family.
As soon as this matter came out, one of the principal persons, Stanya, Dennis's sister, strongly opposed it, but she was powerless.
On the spot of the meeting, unpleasant things happened, and they even got violent.
"Master Dennis, go and have a look. Miss Stanya is injured, and the business she took over has been suppressed one after another..."
The old housekeeper followed and said worriedly.
Without saying a word, Dennis went directly to the inner room. The door was closed, and the atmosphere in the house was also very depressing.
The servants all knew that Miss Stanya had been bullied at the family meeting. They tried to persuade her but to no avail. When they saw Dennis coming back, they all stepped forward to salute.
"Meet Master Dennis!"
Dennis asked directly: "Where is Ya'er?"
"Go back to the young master, the young lady has locked herself in the room and won't come out. There is nothing we can do." A servant said.
"Okay, I get it!" Dennis strode up the steps and went straight to the door.
"Ya'er, are you in the room?" Dennis asked as he knocked on the door.
There was no movement inside.
"Ya'er, it's me, your brother, I'm back." Dennis continued to knock on the door.
Still no response.
Dennis frowned and shouted loudly: "Ya'er, if you don't speak, I will kick in the door."
Still, this sentence had an effect, and a woman's angry voice immediately came from the room.
"Why are you coming back? You can continue to live your happy life!"
Hearing his sister's voice, Dennis felt relieved and said with a playful smile: "I miss you!"
The door was opened, but Dennis only saw the back of his sister turning around and walking back to the back room.
After waving to the other servants, Dennis walked in.
"you've been drinking?"
As soon as he entered the room, Dennis smelled the smell of alcohol.
Stanya was sitting at the wooden table, with several jars of wine placed on the table.
"If nothing happens at home, will you not come back?" Stanya, with slightly red cheeks, stared at Dennis.
"How could it be? I actually only heard that something happened at home after I came back. Tell me what happened?" Dennis walked over and grabbed the wine glass from the woman's hand.
"What's the use of telling you, you never care about the business at home. Now it's a foregone conclusion. It's too late to say anything."
The more Stanya spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and her eyes turned red.
Her parents died early, and her brother was so out of touch. She took care of all the business matters alone. How could her brother understand the hard work and dedication involved?
But now, the property left by her parents had to be watched helplessly by the "Royal Chamber of Commerce" that suddenly appeared. How could she tolerate this?
At the family meeting, she fell out with the clan elders on the spot.
The property left by her parents is her bottom line.
However, her arms couldn't twist her thighs, so the elders of the clan united to bully a weak woman like her, because they felt that their family had no control over her.
Dennis listened quietly to his sister's complaints. He knew that the burden on his sister was too great, and it would be better to vent it out than to drink away the sorrow.
"If the sky falls, my brother will hold you up, so don't be so stressed!" Dennis comforted.
This sentence was met with a blank stare.
"You keep it up, you still don't know where to live and be happy!"
Dennis smiled coquettishly, and then his expression became serious: "Now tell me, what is going on? So why did the family announce that it will join the 'Royal Chamber of Commerce'?"
Although the old housekeeper said something, he knew very little after all, much less than Stanya who had attended the family meeting.
Stanya hurriedly recounted the situation during this period and what happened at the clan meeting.
It turns out that this so-called "Royal Chamber of Commerce" was actually established just a few days ago, but because the power behind it is the royal family, it has great influence in the entire "Luowu Empire".
According to the analysis of the news produced by the "Royal Chamber of Commerce" these days, it is clear that this is an attempt to initiate a commercial revolution in the entire empire.
The Royal Chamber of Commerce wants to control all business families in the empire, and the Mibel family is just one of them.
"dare you laugh!"
Stanya caught a glimpse of her brother laughing heartlessly, and the anger that had been suppressed suddenly came out again.
It's so unfair, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!
She was running the family business, getting up early and staying late at night; her brother, on the other hand, wandered around and could not see a single person for a year and a half.
"This matter is easy to solve!" Dennis stopped smiling.
"Easy to solve? How to solve it?"
"Those who are willing to take refuge in the 'Royal Chamber of Commerce', just kick them out. Without them, our 'Mibelle Family' will be even stronger," Dennis said.
"I really believed it. I actually thought for a moment that you could come up with some ideas." Stanya put her hand on her forehead.
"Am I wrong?"
"Please, our family is weak now. In the end, only our family will be kicked out!"
"That's not necessarily true!" Dennis said with a playful smile, "Ya'er, how many people can support our family now?"
Stanya blinked: "You can't be serious, can you?"
"Don't worry about this, tell me, how many people in the family are willing to stand with our family now?"
"I don't think anyone who is so crazy about you will stand with us!" Stanya poured cold water on her unceremoniously.
"Then let me ask another way, how many people are unwilling to join the 'Royal Chamber of Commerce'?"
Stanya was silent for a while: "About a quarter!"
"So few!" Dennis murmured, "That's all, this is an opportunity for our 'Mibelle Family' to be reborn."
"What do you want to do? I won't allow you to mess around!" Stanya couldn't help but become nervous.
"Ya'er, can you call these people over?"
"What are you going to do?" Stanya became even more nervous.
"Unite together and revive the 'Mibel Family'!"
"Brother, are you not sick? How can you say such innocent words?"
Dennis chuckled: "Ya'er, it's time to tell you something!"
Stanya rolled her eyes, she didn't think her unobtrusive brother could say anything.
"Your brother, I know the Dragon Clan!"
After Dennis said this, he carefully observed his sister's expression.
In the end, he just saw that the corners of Stanya's mouth were almost touching the table.
"What, you don't believe it?"
Stanya joked: "You know the Dragon Clan, and I also know the God Clan! How old are you, can you be more serious!"
"You think I'm kidding you?"
"Is not it?"
"Of course not. Not only do I know the Dragon Clan, but last night, your brother and I personally rode on a giant dragon."
At this point, Dennis's eyes were shining.
This is an experience that he can brag about for a lifetime. If he doesn't share it with his sister at this moment, it will be like walking at night in brocade clothes.
"If you were so powerful, you wouldn't be here!" Stanya sneered.
"I knew you wouldn't believe it easily. It doesn't matter. I have evidence here." Dennis smiled mysteriously.
"What evidence?"
"What do you think this is?" Dennis took out something from the storage ring.
"Photo ball?"
"Not bad!" Dennis said, pointing at the photo ball.
Next, the picture played on the photo ball made Stanya open her mouth wide.
The picture on the photo ball is not long, but it clearly shows the majestic appearance of the dragon.
"Really... really... a real dragon?"
Stanya pointed at the photo ball, even her voice stuttered.
"How about it, now you know I'm not lying to you!"
Dennis adjusted his clothes and put on the posture of "I am an extraordinary person".
"How is it possible? Real dragons...haven't real dragons become extinct?" Stanya could no longer sit still and stood up directly.
The strong shock made her sober up.
"How can the image on the photo ball be fake!"
As he spoke, Dennis took a sip from the wine glass his sister had just given, with an expression that was as sullen as it was.
"Brother, where did you see the real dragon? When did you see it, please tell me!" Stanya excitedly pulled up Dennis's sleeve.
Seeing his sister so excited, Dennis' goal was achieved, and he briefly talked about his experience.
"Ula Saint Boya Mountains?" Stanya's eyes widened, "It's very close to the 'Luowu Empire', how come there are real dragons there?"
"How can I lie to you about this kind of thing? There is a 'Dragon Valley' hidden in that mountain range. The magnificence of that place is far beyond your imagination." Dennis said.
Stanya didn't know what she was thinking and suddenly fell silent.
Dennis changed the topic and said: "If you want to learn more, I can take you to visit. It just so happens that I have reached a deal with the Elf King there."
"Wait a minute, why did another 'Elf King' appear?"
"This is a bit complicated. I'll tell you later." Dennis wanted to deal with family matters first.
News about the real dragon cannot be spread out for the time being, because it will cause a sensation and lead to an uncontrollable situation.
In order to completely break away from the elders in the family, Dennis and Stanya visited the elders one by one.
Not surprisingly, not only did they get frustrated, but they were also verbally criticized.
"It is the general trend to seek refuge in the Royal Chamber of Commerce. You are so short-sighted and will only hinder the family!"
"The family's decision has been made. You can't change it if you want!"
"With the big tree of the 'Royal Chamber of Commerce', our 'Mibel Family' can become bigger and stronger. You are still too young. You should learn slowly in the future."
This kind of rhetoric is quite good, and some clan elders even say harsh words directly.
"Who do you think you are? You're here to dictate the family's plans. It's not your turn to make decisions yet for the 'Mibelle Family'!"
"Either obey or get out of the 'Mibel Family', we won't leave any moths here!"
Stanya almost started fighting again, but was stopped by Dennis.
"For the sake of their own interests, they betrayed the entire family. Can't they understand that the Royal Chamber of Commerce is not cooperating, but is trying to drain money from the bottom of the cauldron and control each family."
Stanya was indignant, only hating that although she was capable, she didn't have much power.
"They will regret this decision!" Dennis said with a playful smile.
This visit was not so much about persuading the clan elders to change their minds as it was about giving them an opportunity.
Since their attitude is so tough, don't blame him for turning against them in the future.
That day, a crazy news spread.
Stanya publicly stated that she expelled many members of the "Mibel Family" on the grounds that those people betrayed the family's interests and violated the foundation of the family code.
Of course, this behavior was regarded as a joke, and Stanya was considered to have acted out of anger.
However, this also sent a signal to outsiders, that is, the Stanya line was at loggerheads with other lines of the family.
"Brother, what should we do with our family's properties?" Stanya was worried again after her high-profile speech.
She didn't want the property left by her parents to be used to advantage others.
"Don't worry, none of them can take away our things!" A cold light flashed in Dennis's eyes.
After this incident, he realized that his sister had been suppressed and ostracized in the family, and it was already very good for her to be able to maintain her current situation.
Let those people be proud for a while first.
While it was still dark, Dennis took his sister and flew to "Dragon Nest".
The "Mibel Family" is not the only one that has encountered problems. The royal family of the Luowu Empire has made it clear that it wants to rectify the family power within the empire.
Roger and Ai Shuang, who had just returned home, heard a shocking news.
"What? My father was arrested?"
Suddenly hearing the news, Ai Shuang was stunned on the spot as if she had been struck by lightning.
"Sister, where have you been? I can't contact you at all." Mi Lilihua rushed towards her like rain.
"It's fine, why was my father arrested?" Ai Shuang asked hurriedly.
"It was said that he was accused of smuggling control magic tools and was taken back for investigation. This was just a superficial excuse. In fact, he was taking his father as a hostage." Mili became more and more angry as she spoke.
They, the "Bedoson Family", have made many contributions to the empire, but they have ended up like this.
The imperial royal family, regardless of whether their family has second thoughts, what they care about is whether the "Bedoson Family" is a threat.
The royal family's actions can be described as vigorous and resolute, and the targeted family had never experienced any warning signs before.
When he came back to his senses, the family's destiny had been blocked by the royal family.
"I had expected this result for a long time, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly!" Roger also looked filled with indignation.
"I'm going to see the queen!" Ai Shuang turned to leave.
Her father was arrested and she didn't know whether he was alive or dead. How could she, a daughter, feel at ease?
"Ai Shuang, you can't go!" Roger stopped him.
Ai Shuang looked at her third uncle in confusion.
"The more times like this, the more you need to calm down. Do you think those people would dare to arrest your father for this kind of thing without the Queen's permission?" Roger's face was sullen, his head running rapidly.
This situation is not the worst now. What he is afraid of is that in order to take care of his own face, the royal family will lay some charges on his family.
He even killed him for fear of his family's counterattack.
He cannot risk the survival of his family on the conscience of those in the royal family.
The most urgent task is to find a backer that makes the imperial family fearful.
Dragon Nest - Elf King, this is the best choice!
At that moment, the Bedoson family held an emergency meeting and ordered Ai Shuang to go to Dragon Valley immediately.
