C1225 In the Open and in the Dark(1)
"Are you really that confident?" Master Ann narrowed his eyes and said coldly to Wang Hudong, "Don't tell me you are the one who made Fann Binn disappear?"
"Master Ann, what you said is wrong. Even if I, Wang Hudong, have a few guts, I wouldn't dare to harm the Dragon Phoenix Society's president. Besides, there must be evidence for everything. What evidence can prove that I have made a move on Mr. Fann? Master Ann, can you bring out the evidence? " Wang Hudong was obviously fearless because he knew that Master Ann wouldn't be able to bring out any evidence.
Seeing Master Ann's silence, Wang Hudong's imposing manner seemed to have weakened a little. Only then did Wang Hudong turn his head and look at Elder Liu, who was standing beside him. Soon, Elder Liu understood what he meant and said hastily. "I suggest that the ten elders start recommending candidates suitable for the position of the new head of the family. Furthermore, everyone will vote to elect the new head of the family! "
This time, Master Ann did not say anything. The elders began to write down the new head of the family that they had recommended according to the rules of the past. Master Ann handed all of them to Master Ann. He asked the supervisor next to him to sort out the name list. After casually looking at it, he could not help but laugh. " That's right. It seems that everyone's thinking is quite consistent. Ten elders and three of them are recommending the president of the peace union, Wang Hudong. The three of them were recommending the president of Dragon Phoenix Society, Fann Binn, while the other four were not recommended. It seemed like the new patriarch of the Heavenly Dragon family had been chosen. He had to choose between Fann Binn and Wang Hudong, right? "
No one dared to refute Master Ann's words. Indeed, only the second-ranked Union would have the ability to challenge Fann Binn and the Dragon Phoenix Society. Without a doubt, only Wang Hudong could challenge Master Ann. He was the only one who had the ability to do so.
Seeing that none of the ten elders had any objections, Master Ann took a deep look at Wang Hudong. He said with a cold smile, "Chairman Wang, it seems like you are in a hurry to convene this special Heavenly Dragon Gathering. I'm afraid that you have been drooling over the position of this chief for a long time. It doesn't matter. Soldiers who don't wish to be marshals aren't good soldiers. It's naturally true that you want to be the head of the family, but your fault is that you're too eager for short-term gains. I am very curious, after you become the leader, will you bring a beautiful future to the Heavenly Dragon family? Do you have the ability to make the Heavenly Dragon family stronger and stronger? "
" As long as I can become the patriarch, I will definitely be able to do it! " Wang Hudong looked at Master Ann and said with a smile, "I know you won't let me be elected, but I have to tell you that you can't change anything. Fann Binn is missing, and I have no opponents. So you have to choose me as the new patriarch! "
" Oh? You are so confident that Fann Binn will disappear forever? Maybe he will appear again? "Master Ann sneered," There are some things that you shouldn't talk too much about. "
"Master Ann, our meeting today is to discuss the matter of the new patriarch. That's right. Fann Binn is indeed very capable and powerful, but he is still missing, right? No matter what the reason is, he can't rush to participate in this meeting, so the position of family head can't be left empty, right? If that's the case, President Wang is the most suitable candidate to be the new head of the family." Elder Liu opened his mouth and said," Time waits for no one... "
The elders began to echo. Indeed, if Fann Binn wasn't here... It would be very difficult for them to participate in the competition. Furthermore, many of the people present knew that the reason why Wang Hudong was so confident... Fann Binn was afraid that the odds were already against him.
"Since everyone seems to have no objections to these two candidates, I would like to vote for them." Seeing that no one had any strong reaction, Elder Liu extended his hand and said. "Everyone, if you are willing to let Wang Hudong become the new Clan Head, please raise your hands."
Among the ten elders, it was obvious that they quickly raised the hands of the three elders. However, soon after, another elder extended his arm. At this moment, someone shouted from the side, "What's the point of this election? Fann Binn is nowhere to be found. Without a doubt, only Chairman Wang is left. Why don't we just let Chairman Wang be elected directly?"
"That's right, let President Wang be the leader..." The meeting area had been clamoring all this while, and everyone had seen it clearly. This election had no meaning at all, and only Wang Hudong was chosen. What else was there to choose?
A trace of excitement flashed across Wang Hudong's eyes. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. Of course, he knew what it meant to be the patriarch of Heavenly Dragon family. When he thought about how he could control the underworld forces of the entire country, I couldn't help but get excited. Victory was just in front of him. It was as if he had already seen the moment he became the patriarch. Standing at the peak of the entire underworld, becoming the king of the underworld! This was his lifelong dream. How could he not be excited and excited?
With the support of more and more people, Master Ann's expression became more and more gloomy. He looked at the few elders who encouraged the other family members to support Wang Hudong, and couldn't help but laugh heartily. However, this laughter contained more ridicule and ridicule, causing the Heavenly Dragon family members to panic. In an instant, the entire meeting area was filled with Master Ann's strange laughter.
"Erm... Master Ann, if you have something to say, just say it. We will listen to you..." Finally, someone couldn't hold his temper any longer, and spoke weakly, "You are still the patriarch, and your opinion is also very important."
Seeing someone say this, some people who were afraid of Master Ann nodded their heads in agreement.
"Hmph! Do you still have me in your eyes? I'm afraid all of your thoughts have already flown to the new head of the family!" Master Ann stopped laughing and looked at the people in front of him with a cold expression. He said indifferently. ... "What? I haven't gotten off the stage yet, and I don't even have time to speak?"
No one in the audience dared to speak at this moment. They all lowered their heads and remained silent. Although the elders beside them were slightly dissatisfied, they didn't dare to explain further because of Master Ann's face.
"Master Ann, you can't say that, right? Everyone is free to speak and express their views and thoughts. Hehe, that's the truth. I am the only candidate. Then what's the point of choosing again?" No one could have imagined that Wang Hudong would dare to raise his head and smile at Master Ann, who had a cold expression on his face. " This is a meeting, we can't not let everyone..."
"Who do you think you are? You dare to point fingers in front of me even before the head of the family?" Master Ann's words had completely blocked Wang Hudong's mouth. He sneered disdainfully. “ Wang Hudong's mouth was completely covered by ___'s words."
Instantly, Wang Hudong's old face turned red like a monkey's butt. His eyes flashed with extreme anger. He felt as if he had rushed over to kill someone. Indeed, Master Ann didn't give Wang Hudong any face when he spoke. Perhaps in his eyes, Wang Hudong had obviously gotten carried away by his complacency.
"I only mentioned our new students. Master Ann, you are the old patriarch. But you can't cover the sky with one hand, can you? The Heavenly Dragon family needs to have a new atmosphere. What's wrong with changing our blood? You can live in peace in your old age. What's wrong with leaving this huge family business to the next generation to manage? I know you want Fann Binn to be the new family head, but isn't he missing? How about this, I will temporarily be the acting head of the new family. When Fann Binn returns, I will give it to him. This should be fine, right?"
Wang Hudong was afraid that Master Ann would flip out again, so he gritted his teeth and said. " Master Ann, if you don't agree to this condition, then you are too arbitrary! I'm afraid all the people of Heavenly Dragon family won't be able to figure it out! For the sake of one person, are you going to bury the future of Heavenly Dragon family?"
Wang Hudong's words immediately won the approval of many people, although they didn't say it out loud. However, it was obvious that they were somewhat disgusted by Master Ann's style of covering the sky with one hand. Master Ann's expression was somewhat calm, but his pair of old eyes were staring straight at Wang Hudong. No one knew what he was thinking about. At this time, An Yu-er could no longer stand. She kept winking at Fann Binn. It seemed like she wanted him to reveal his identity as soon as possible.
Fann Binn smiled faintly at her. Since Master Ann had already forced Wang Hudong to this extent... Of course not. He believed that Master Ann wouldn't just want to obtain the position of Patriarch. He also wanted to give this Wang Hudong a lesson, so that he could stand higher and higher. He fell deeper and deeper.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope you have, the greater your disappointment. Master Ann was not someone to be trifled with.
"What did you just say? You said you can become the temporary family head? Haha, this is probably the funniest joke I've ever heard." Master Ann's face turned stern, and he said coldly," Do you think the reputation of the Heavenly Dragon family's leader is a joke? What proxy patriarch? To think that you could come up with such a good idea! What? Do you think that I'm old and useless? Do you think you can do whatever you want to take my seat? Hey, let me tell you, I'm not old yet. I can still work for many years!"
After Master Ann said that, Wang Hudong became even more relieved and said with a smile. "Master Ann, Fann Binn has gone missing, so you don't have to do this. You still want to wait for the day he comes back? Aren't you making things difficult for yourself by doing this? I'm the acting patriarch. This isn't a child's play. This is a very feasible solution. How about this, we'll say it's not up to you. Let the Elders Guild decide... Let's see if this method is feasible."
When the Elders Guild heard Wang Hudong say this, Elder Liu naturally nodded his head and agreed immediately. Seeing Master Ann's gloomy face and not saying anything, he took the initiative to extend his hand to express his support. Very quickly, a few Elders extended their hands to express their support. Clearly, Wang Hudong's words made the elders feel that it was feasible. After all, Master Ann was old, and his health was so poor that he could not manage many of the family's matters. It was naturally best to have a strong youth to manage it.
"Have you all thought it through?" Master Ann's cold gaze swept across these elders. Seeing that they did not speak, he said with a smile. “ Since everyone has agreed, what else do I have to say? Wang Hudong, did you just say that you will be the acting head first? As long as Fann Binn comes back, you can return the position to him at any time. Is that so?"
"Yes, Master Ann. I, Wang Hudong, am a man who can do whatever I say." Wang Hudong nodded excitedly when he saw that Master Ann had loosened his grip. "Please rest assured, Master Ann. As long as I can control the Heavenly Dragon family, I will bring the H Country's underworld to a new height of glory!"
