Chapter 335: Fossack Family Meeting
The walls of the castle are covered with green vines, which blend harmoniously with the surrounding natural environment. The spacious hall is filled with various antiques and artworks, showing the taste and noble status of the castle owner. The exquisite murals and gorgeous chandeliers made by alchemy add a mysterious color to the entire castle.
This is the manor castle of the "Beast of Desolation" family of Fussack.
The main family members of the Fussack family have now gathered together. Almost everyone looks nervous and anxious, and some are excited and expectant.
Everyone knows that today's family meeting may be the most important one in decades!
In the solemn atmosphere, everyone's expressions are tense and solemn, and the air seems to be solidified. Only faint breathing and occasional paper flipping can be heard.
The owner of the family, "White Beast", sits at one end of the conference table. He is thin and haggard, and looks pale and old all over. His white hair and body are somewhat alienated to the extent that they are not like humans, which can even scare children.
There is no doubt that it is a huge side effect brought by the taboo wonders.
The oldest powerful monarch of Syat, "White Beast", has always been a good friend of Duke Black Iron.
The old man frowned and was blind, but he seemed to be examining the soul of every family member. His pale fingers gently tapped the table, making a rhythmic "tap tap" sound, each of which was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.
Sitting next to him were several older family members, their faces were engraved with traces of time, but at this moment they all showed unprecedented seriousness.
Their eyes flashed from time to time, as if they were thinking about how to speak or how to make a choice.
The younger generation of family members seemed more nervous, their fingers unconsciously rubbing the table, or holding the armrests of the chairs, as if looking for some kind of support.
Their eyes wandered between the head of the family and the elders, trying to read some clues from their expressions.
In the corner of the meeting room, a female family member bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes revealed a kind of determination, and her hands were clasped together, as if praying for a good result of the meeting.
No one spoke in the entire conference room. Only the sound of breathing and knocking intertwined. Everyone was expressing their inner tension and anxiety in their own way.
At this moment, someone finally spoke first.
"His Majesty the new King Noah has issued a national notice that the Fisher family and the Roman family have committed treason, colluded with evil pagans, and attempted to overthrow Siat. They are extremely evil and unforgivable."
"The Claw of Desolation" August Fusack is still the middle-aged man with two small mustaches, tall and thin, wearing a blue and black tuxedo, trousers, vest and dress coat.
He paused, looked at the members of the family and continued:
"The Royal Family of Yadley has declared the Fisher family a "rebellious" family, and directly issued a golden royal decree, requiring the other major families of Siat to immediately cooperate with the royal family to eliminate them."
Everyone was silent.
Everyone knew one thing very well. For more than a hundred years, the Roman family and the Fisher family have always had a good relationship with the Fusack family.
Duke Roman had saved the Fussack family in several wars, even more than once.
If they really wanted to wipe them out, the Fuksas family would inevitably be insulted as traitors, and all families would have prejudices against the Fussack family in the future.
However, disobeying the king's order is undoubtedly a huge betrayal.
After all, the Fussack family is also a member of the Siat, and they should accept the order of the Yadley royal family and attack the Fisher family and the Roman family.
The most unacceptable thing is to have to choose one of two terrible choices with serious consequences.
Many people don't want to speak, because the responsibility is a heavy burden that they can't bear at all.
At this time, Zain, who had been silent, spoke.
"What I actually want to know is what do you think of the two letters from Lord Aldridge and Lord Byrne?"
"Beast of the Desolation" Augustus immediately said: "Zain, you are now a member of the Storm Church, right?"
Zain nodded gently, not denying it at all, and continued:
"But my last name is still Fusack, and I will always be a member of the Fusack family. You can't deny this."
"Lord Aldridge and Lord Byrne also made it very clear in the letter that they hope the church will intervene to investigate the situation of the Yadley royal family. They said that the Quiet Words Cult controlled the royal family and we need to start a war to eliminate the cultists around the royal family."
"Beast of the Desolation" Augustus shook his head. He shook his head, looked at Zain with an incomprehensible look, and retorted:
"I find it ridiculous to hear this. This is just a reason and excuse for rebellion. Anyone who has read a book will understand, right? In history, all the families who said they would eliminate the evil people around the royal family would become real usurpers as long as they succeeded!"
Zain laughed coldly and said, "Since they want the church to investigate, it means they are sure they can find something."
"What if what they said is true? What if you help the Quiet Words in the end and become accomplices of the cultists? Do you want the Fussack family to become the enemy of God?"
He took a few steps forward and looked directly at his uncle August.
"Can you take on such a responsibility? My uncle!"
August was suddenly a little angry, and even his arms began to swell involuntarily.
"What did you say! Zain!"
At this moment, Zain did not respect August as much as he did decades ago.
At that time, Zain was only mediocre in the family in terms of status and strength, and August, as the next heir to the family, a powerful monarch, was someone Zain had to please.
Now their status and strength are almost equal, which is not obvious at ordinary times, but neither of them will give in at critical moments.
And at this moment, the old "white beast" spoke.
"Stop arguing. Why don't you stop for a moment and listen to my thoughts."
Zain immediately bowed respectfully, stepped back and said, "You are the head of the Fussack family. Of course, your opinion is the most important."
August nodded, stepped back and said, "Please tell me your opinion, but I still want to remind you that no matter how good your personal relationship is, don't drag the entire family into the water. Disobeying the king's order may cause the family to fall into ruin!"
The old "white beast" nodded slowly, as if he could fall asleep at any time, half-closed his blind eyes, without any energy.
"I can basically see that the time for a big reshuffle has come. Haha, it's almost time, but my opinion is that there is no need to be anxious. Things like positions should be chosen after collecting enough information. Let's take a look at the Jones family's choice."
So that's it, Zain immediately understood.
This old fox, who is currently the oldest in Siat, is thinking about seeing the wind direction before expressing his position, and delaying as much as possible before that.
It was indeed the choice that an old fox would make!
But it was not a bad thing.
Zain knew clearly that disobeying the king's order was not something that the family could do casually, so this was all he could get for the Fisher family.
Of course, he could say this not just because of friendship. Few people would drag their entire family into a battlefield that might be destroyed because of friendship.
Zain felt that the Fisher and the Roman family definitely had a chance to win, and there was indeed something wrong with the Yadley royal family in recent years.
"Soon, the Storm Church will go to the capital of the Siat King to investigate!"
——
Nasir City.
The sea breeze, with a salty taste, gently blew across the port of Nasir, blowing away the morning mist.
On one side of the port, the people of the Fisher family and many citizens had gathered early, with expectations and joy on their faces, and the whole sky seemed brighter.
Suddenly, a ship's whistle broke the tranquility of the harbor. Everyone looked up and saw a steam engine ship with smoke slowly entering the port.
The bright sunlight sprinkled on the hull, and the golden light and the waves of the sea reflected each other, as if covering the ship with a sacred halo.
"They are back!"
"Really back! Great!"
"It's Mr. Byrne, Mr. Chris, and Mr. Darren of the Fisher family!"
As the ship docked, the crowd began to stir.
Byrne, Chris, and Darren all appeared at the bow, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a temperament completely different from ordinary people. Their return made everyone present relieved, and the citizens cheered loudly.
Byrne smiled and waved to everyone, his smile was as warm as the sun.
He thought deeply about what to do next.
"According to the time calculation, our letter to the Roman family should have reached the hands of the Jones family and the Fussack family."
"I hope they can make a decision that is beneficial to us."
"As for our Fisher family, we also need a family meeting to decide future matters."
"Also, the situation of Irene must be told to everyone in the Dawn Cult!"
