C1223 A Storm Was Brewing(2)
"Master Ann, you are here? Hurry up and enter the venue. The elders have all arrived. They are just waiting for you, the main character." Wang Hudong smiled and looked at An Yu-er and Fann Binn. He couldn't help but be stunned by An Yu-er's beauty and said. "Oh, this must be Master Ann's precious granddaughter, the beautiful Miss An Yu-er, right? Aiya, she was so slim and graceful, she was really beautiful. This is..."
Finally, Wang Hudong shifted his gaze to Fann Binn. He was somewhat curious about ___'s identity. Master Ann stomped his walking stick and said coldly, "What's wrong? President Wang, this is not your turn to be the master of Heavenly Dragon family. You're starting to like meddling in other people's business? My butler has come with me, and he also needs to inform you?"
" No, no, that's not what I meant. Hehe, so it's the butler, then let's go in together. Let's go in together. " Wang Hudong was obviously still a little afraid of Master Ann. After all, the deterrent force built by Master Ann in the underworld was not something that could disappear in a day or two.
Without even looking at Wang Hudong, Master Ann took the lead and slowly walked towards the building with An Yu-er's help. Fann Binn looked at Wang Hudong meaningfully, and a trace of a cold smile flashed across his eyes. This guy probably didn't know that he was going to be in big trouble today!
After swaggering into the building, nearly a hundred guards of Dragon Phoenix Society followed the rules and stood in the hall of the building, waiting quietly. After all, it was a meeting between big shots. Master Ann could use his prestige to bring the fake butler, Fann Binn, into the meeting room. But these guards were naturally unable to bring them in.
Of course, in a situation like the Heavenly Dragon Gathering, even if they were mortal enemies, they would not really kill each other in this kind of situation. Unless they didn't want to live anymore. Therefore, Master Ann was very confident in the safety of this place. Besides, he was an old man whose life was about to come to an end. Who would be so bored as to take the risk of being buried with him and send assassins to kill him? There was no possibility at all, nor was there any motive.
The meeting room of this building was on the tenth floor. When Fann Binn and the others took the elevator up, they realized that there was only a very large and luxurious meeting room on the entire floor. There was a rest area, meeting area, and entertainment area in the meeting room. It could be said to be very rich in functions.
When Master Ann walked into the conference room with An Yu-er and Fann Binn, he quickly saw that the conference room was filled with prominent mafia figures from all over the country.
In this huge conference room that could seat nearly a thousand people, when these big shots saw Master Ann appear, all of them stood up in unison from their chairs in absolute silence. Facing Master Ann, they bowed and shouted in unison. "Greetings, Master Ann! Greetings, Family Head!"
Looking at this spectacular scene, Fann Binn's heart could not help but beat faster. It was indeed a spectacular scene to see so many prestigious elders submitting to him. Master Ann nodded with satisfaction and said, "All of you, get up and sit down. The meeting is about to begin. There is no need for formalities. "
Hearing Master Ann's words, these big shots straightened their bodies and found a seat to sit down. At this moment, a few old men walked over and started chatting with Master Ann with smiles on their faces.
An Yu-er was introducing these old men to Fann Binn in a low voice. It turned out that they were the Great Elders of Heavenly Dragon family. The position of Great Elder was rather special. They were selected from the ten strongest and most powerful sects in Heavenly Dragon family to be the Great Elder. Naturally, they formed an alliance for the sake of the benefits of their respective sects.
In the underworld, gang fights and killings happened almost every day. Therefore, the change in the gangs was more frequent, so every few years, there would be people leaving the position of Great Elder, and there would be new people coming. But no matter what, the Great Elder didn't have any real power in the Heavenly Dragon family. Their real purpose was to elect the head of the family and impeach the head of the family! As long as there was a time when the patriarch's power couldn't suppress these guys, the patriarch's position would be in danger.
Just like now, although the Dragon Phoenix Society was strong enough and had swallowed the Beihai Gang, this was the trend of becoming stronger and stronger. However, Master Ann's body was not strong enough. Fann Binn had already gone missing in name. Therefore, the elders began to launch a public attack to cater to Wang Hudong's decision to elect a new family head at this time. This was undoubtedly adding more trouble to the Dragon Phoenix Society. Of course, they weren't thinking for Wang Hudong's sake. To put it bluntly, it was for the benefit of their own gang.
If Master Ann withdrew from the position of family head, Fann Binn wouldn't appear for a long time. Dragon Phoenix Society would surely be in chaos. Moreover, once the peace association was elected as patriarch... No matter which faction or faction it was, it would be a huge blow to the Dragon Phoenix Society. They would be able to make a fortune out of it.
Fann Binn couldn't help but laugh coldly in his heart. These elders were truly the ones who were afraid of the world falling into chaos. It seemed like the original intention of the Heavenly Dragon family's system was good. They didn't want to see a situation where they were the only ones in control. Unfortunately, in modern times, the selfish interests of all parties were getting more and more important. This Elder Council was like a weapon used to control the patriarch. You said that they were morally noble and devoted to contributing to the development of the Heavenly Dragon family? It was more like laughing their heads off. These Elders had undoubtedly become tools used to control their interests.
"Master Ann, you have finally come. We thought that you were in poor health. You will not be able to come to this meeting. Hehe, it would be fine if you didn't come. After informing the Elders Guild, we will also help you settle the matter. Your heir is missing, and your health is not good. The position should also be moving, right?" Some of the elders who came to talk quickly ridiculed him. This was obviously a typical example of hitting someone while they were down.
"Hmph, I'm afraid that my illness and the matter of my successor will not require the elders to be so concerned about it, right? The matters of our own family will be handled by us, so we don't need you to worry about it!" Very quickly, Master Ann's expression became somewhat unsightly. An Yu-er thought that it was because her grandfather was not feeling well and could not help but support his body. Her beautiful eyes stared at the old undyings around her.
"I'm fine. Let's go and sit down. I'd like to see what kind of tricks these guys are up to!" Master Ann sneered and walked towards the main seat in the meeting area with his crutch. That was naturally the seat of the family head. Fann Binn and An Yu-er looked at each other and followed. They stood behind Master Ann.
Master Ann naturally sat firmly on the seat of Patriarch. The faintly discernible Qi of Patriarch emitted from his body had obviously shocked all the big shots here. Regardless of whether Master Ann was truly beyond cure or not, as long as he was in Heavenly Dragon family one day... These big shots had to be convinced. Although those elders who ridiculed Master Ann had the audacity to speak sarcastically to him, they naturally wouldn't dare to openly cause a conflict with Master Ann. At this time, they also sat down in the seats specially reserved for the elders, waiting for the Heavenly Dragon Gathering to begin.
A few minutes later, Wang Hudong, who had finally entered the meeting area, smiled apologetically and sat down in the seat belonging to the peace union. The old man behind him was the same as Fann Binn, standing behind him. From time to time, he would look at Master Ann with a pair of cold eyes.
Fann Binn suddenly felt a little excited. He knew if he could successfully take over the class. It would depend on today's Heavenly Dragon Gathering to become the successor of Master Ann and inherit the position of Heavenly Dragon family's patriarch. This was also the first time he had heard Master Ann's threatening words from such a close distance. He wanted to see how he would fight the crowd!
The atmosphere instantly became colder and colder. Everyone in the hall knew that today's Heavenly Dragon Gathering would once again be a bloody storm of power that couldn't be avoided.
"Since everyone is here, I think the Heavenly Dragon Gathering can begin now." Master Ann waved his hand and spoke in a deep and aged voice to everyone in the huge meeting room. "All of you are members of the Heavenly Dragon family, and are also famous big shots of the H Country's underworld. Apart from the new members, I don't need to say anything about the old man. Everyone knows the rules. Thank you, everyone, for your love. I can be the head of the family for so many years. It's all thanks to our brothers' support and respect."
"Actually it's nothing much, everyone believe in me, Old An, I naturally work for everyone. At least I, Old An, have a clear conscience. In these years as the head of the family, my brothers eat well and wear warm clothes. No one is bad, right? The profits that the Dragon Phoenix Society will give to everyone in a year, everyone should be able to get it, right? As long as everyone is satisfied, that is the biggest affirmation I have for the leader of the ___ in all these years!"
"Master Ann's imposing voice made all the members of the Heavenly Dragon family consciously applaud. The applause was so loud that it filled the entire meeting area. It was obvious that these members were certain of Master Ann's words.
Wang Hudong's facial expression darkened. The few elders beside him lowered their heads and didn't say anything. They weren't willing to clap either. Fann Binn couldn't help but let out a cold smile. Master Ann was indeed worthy of being called Master Ann. He had struck the weak points of these guys with his words, and he had easily highlighted his ability and contribution. It was obvious that many members of the Heavenly Dragon family had benefited from Master Ann's leadership during these years. One could clearly feel the warm applause.
Master Ann stretched out his hand and pressed down. Instantly, the applause in the meeting area disappeared. It became very quiet. He casually drank a mouthful of tea and then slowly continued. " I also know that everyone is certain of my hard work over the years, and most of them won't say anything bad about me. However, I am indeed old, and my health has been deteriorating lately. There are some things that I can't do."
"The Heavenly Dragon Gathering is being held today. I also know that some people see my health deteriorating year by year. Therefore, many crooked thoughts have been stirred up. Empty desires, the position of the Clan Head. I'm afraid there are more than one people who are drooling over the position of Patriarch. It did not matter. Indeed, this person should abdicate when he was old. I'm not a shameless person. Why? He's about to enter the grave, yet he refuses to give up his position? I don't think I'm that shameless."
" Actually, I've already thought of abdicating my position a long time ago, but what is the position of the head of the family? It is a position that makes me feel as if I am sitting on pins and needles. It is a position that can help the Heavenly Dragon family brothers find a way to live. If any random clown can casually sit on it, what will happen to my brothers? That's why I've been searching all these years, and I've always considered choosing a talent that can replace me. The Imperial Heaven will never let down those who are willing to do so. God bless my Heavenly Dragon family. I've really found this talent."
