Chapter 337 Executor
The sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, and the clouds were getting thicker and thicker, as if a rainstorm would fall at any time.
The sky remained oppressively gray for a long time, and the clouds became thicker and lower. Suddenly, a dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening thunder, as if the earth was shaking.
Bean-sized raindrops fell densely, hitting the roof, windows and the ground, making a rapid and intense sound.
The rain quickly gathered into a stream, rushing down along the eaves and the edges of the streets, forming a series of white water curtains. The air was filled with the fresh smell of soil and rain, with a moist feeling.
Fein City.
The hall where the "Lion" Rhine family gathered was brightly lit, but everyone's face lacked the relaxed smile of the past. The family members sat around the long table, frowning, their shrewd eyes flickering in the candlelight, thinking about their future fate.
The head of the Rhine family was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Let's eat. Praise the great Lord of Redemption. The lions can enjoy the dinner again."
Although the dishes on the table were rich, everyone present just moved their chopsticks mechanically, as if food existed only to sustain life.
A faint silence permeated the air, broken only by the occasional clash of tableware and low conversations.
"I have a letter from the Fischer family here!"
At this moment, a family member who was soaked by rain pushed the door in, holding a black envelope in his hand.
A sound of putting down tableware sounded, and everyone turned around and stared at the family member holding the letter.
The atmosphere was extremely serious.
The head of the Rhine family took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Are you finally here? Come here."
The family member nodded gently, walked forward, and handed the letter to the current head of the Rhine family.
The head of the Rhine family opened the letter and said calmly:
"The Fisher family has issued an order, asking me to go to Nasir City, hoping that I can first respond actively enough and join the "King's United Army" that the Fisher family and the Roman family are about to jointly establish..."
Immediately someone asked: "King's United Army? Aren't they going to attack the capital and directly oppose the king of Siat? They are actually called the King's United Army?"
The head of the Rhine family shook his head and said: "Although they are going to attack the capital, they are not going to oppose the king, but to save His Majesty King Noah and the Kingdom of Siat."
"There are bad people around the king."
"That's what the Fisher family said."
Everyone was noncommittal about this statement, but they vaguely felt in their hearts that His Majesty the King might be right, and the Fisher family and the Roman family were the actual usurpers.
But so what?
The Lion Family has never taken sides because of this. The only reason that can make them take sides is the interests themselves.
The head of the Rhine family said calmly: "In fact, we have no choice, because the engagement between Andre Rhine and Christine Fischer has been finalized, and now we must be tied to the same chariot with the Fischer family!"
"Andre, he is destined to become the next head of the Rhine family, and the Rhine family must be the sharp sword of the Fischer family."
The family members were silent, but some people still raised objections.
"Even if there is an engagement, it can be cancelled, right? However, we may not be able to bear the anger of Fischer."
"It cannot be cancelled, absolutely not..."
The head of the Rhine family shook his head and muttered to himself. He had something in his heart that he had never said.
Just last month, Andre returned to Fein City and told himself that Christine was pregnant...
And the child would definitely be born, so no matter what, the Rhine family had been forced to make a choice.
They could not escape their position!
——
In Christine's private manor.
She sat in a wheelchair, pushed by Andre in the corridor.
"Christine." Andre suddenly spoke.
"Hmm?" Christine slightly raised her head and looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Andre gently said, "How do you feel now? Has the work become easier?"
Christine nodded and said seriously, "Well, after building the 'executor' team, I have indeed become much more relaxed."
"Perhaps, this is the most correct decision of all the decisions I have participated in."
Because the Fisher family is getting bigger and bigger, Christine, who took over the daily affairs of the entire Fisher from Byrne, was soon busy to death.
So Andre, who had been by her side, suggested that instead of managing everything by herself, it would be better to learn from other big families to build a team to help Christine.
Christine's destiny is "peeping eyes", which can directly see through other people's qualifications, talents, and even personalities.
During this period of time, she has made a lot of optimizations to the personnel composition of the Fisher family, and Andre's proposal has actually been in the shape of Christine's heart.
So she personally selected ten members with sufficient qualifications and abilities from the blood recipients as assistants to help her deal with various matters of the entire Fisher family and the Dawn Cult every day.
They are called "executors" and have no power at all. All power comes only from Christine's authorization.
And Christine's power comes from Byrne's permission.
Christine herself observed the changes in their personalities through the "Peeping Eyes". If anyone became too greedy or disloyal, she would immediately kick them out of the team and replace them.
She soon became much more relaxed, and even had time to get pregnant.
In fact, Christine had wanted to get pregnant a long time ago, because it was never a good thing to delay getting too old. She had planned the matter of childbirth very well, and was glad that she was still able to have children despite her disability.
Christine and Kano had completely opposite ideas and a strong sense of responsibility. She felt that as a member of the extraordinary family, it was absolutely intolerable to not have children even though she had the ability to have children.
Andre gently attached himself to his most beloved princess and said gently: "Christine, I actually have a very important request."
Christine smiled and said softly: "Tell me, Andre, you have rarely asked me for anything in these years. As long as the request is not excessive, I will satisfy you."
Her gentle look has almost never appeared in the eyes of outsiders.
However, if Andre's request conflicts with the interests of the Fischer family, Christine will choose her own family without hesitation.
Andre's tone is full of seriousness, and the next words are a wish in his heart.
"I know that the child's surname will be Fischer, not Rhine, but I really hope that I can name the first child, can I?"
After thinking about it, Christine nodded gently:
"Okay, I promise you, I won't let Uncle Bayen name it this time. This child may be very different. Most of the names of the Fischer family are given by Uncle Bayen."
However, Andre shook his head and said from the bottom of his heart:
"I don't want this child to be so special. I think he or she can live a normal life."
"The path of the extraordinary is the path of desire, which often leads to destruction."
Over the years, he has seen too many tragic endings of extraordinary people, such as his grandfather...Bester.
Christine smiled and said, "It won't be as you wish. It's destined to be so. We are extraordinary people, and not just ordinary extraordinary people."
"We are also His family."
When Andre mentioned Him, his eyes trembled slightly.
Christine continued to speak calmly, as if the truth of the world she described could never be shaken.
"Perhaps from the moment of birth, the Fisher family was destined to become a special existence in the world. As a sharp sword of a great thing, it will definitely leave many scars in this world."
