Chapter 246 Family Matters

Chapter 246 Family Matters

Hurried footsteps came from all directions. All the core members of the Lopez family who received Griffin Lopez's message scroll rushed back to the Jinshi Island tribe from all over the place as soon as possible.

The conference room that could accommodate more than 30 people was now crammed with nearly a hundred people. No one knew why Chief Griffin had urgently summoned everyone here.

But at this moment, Griffin in the conference room had a serious look on his face, and the core members of the middle generation also had solemn expressions. Many members who did not know the truth, feeling this depressing atmosphere, lowered the volume of their whispers and looked towards the center of the conference room.

"Do you know what happened? Why did they use the Family Assembly Order No. 1?"

"I don't know either. I just came back from a fortress over a thousand kilometers away! I haven't asked about the tribe's affairs for several years."

"That must be the son of Gotatu's younger brother, right? How come he is attending this meeting? Is he the new generation representative?"

"It might be something about Godzilla. Wasn't he put in solitary confinement before? Maybe he's going to announce something?"

"What happened to the chief's arm? It looks like there's nothing inside his magic robe? He looks pale too?"

"Injured? Why isn't Della there? Hasn't he always been at the Mesozoic Conference?"

"Shhhhh, stop talking!"

Mumbling sounds came from every corner and even outside the meeting room door. When the footsteps outside became fewer and fewer, the core members had almost all arrived. The place suddenly became quiet, and even heavy breathing could be heard from inside.

Griffin Lopez's eyes swept across everyone's face and finally fell on Gotha.

Gotatu, Sarah, Leica and others focused their attention on the table in front of them, staring at the crystal ball in a daze.

"Ahem..." Griffin Lopez cleared his throat, breaking the dead silence.

Everyone's eyes turned to Griffin at the same time.

"Today, I have summoned all members of the Lopez family to come here to inform you of a few things. The first thing is that the memorial service for De La Lopez, Vallag Lopez and other family members who died in the Ice Corridor will be held in three days."

As soon as the words fell, an uproar broke out.

The family members looked at each other, as if none of them had expected such a thing to happen.

When does a person die?

"Regarding their sacrifice, the family will make an official announcement after the meeting. Now let's talk about the second thing!"

Before everyone could understand the whole story, Griffin's voice rang out again, suppressing the discussions.

"The second thing is, after the memorial service, Gotatu Lopez will serve as the head of the Lopez family and will be fully responsible for family affairs!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked! Even more shocked than the news of the death of two core members of the Mesozoic Era.

Whether the Mesozoic core is dead or alive has little to do with most of the important members of the Lopez family. At most, they are brothers with a blood relationship and cannot be said to have deep feelings for each other.

But the position of patriarch concerns everyone.

As the business grows, camps will naturally emerge. The position of the patriarch of the Lopez family is not something that can be succeeded by whoever is older and more capable. It often takes decades of observation and secret competition among camps to decide.

Although Gotatu is the top choice for the position of family patriarch in terms of both strength and status, many people in the family do not like his indecisiveness and kindness, and believe that he lacks ruthlessness.

On the contrary, Sara Lopez has a style similar to that of Griffin Lopez, and the momentum of her camp is no weaker than that of Gotatu Lopez. If given another ten years, Sara Lopez may not be without the ability to compete.

But what was unexpected was that the old man was so anxious to announce this matter this time. This must be a turbulence for the family.

For a moment, the core members in the field began to weigh the pros and cons, whether to go down this path or to change camps and show goodwill to the new master.

Not only the other core members, but even Gotatu Lopez was surprised when he heard these words from the old man's mouth.

On the way back, Griffin had talked to him and said that he would pass the position of family patriarch to him and let him lead the family to become stronger.

He originally thought that this would happen at least a few years later, but...

Gotatu glanced at his sister Sarah and found that although Sarah looked unhappy, she did not say anything to refute. In the past, she would have definitely stood up and made a statement.

Could it be that the old man has also explained this to Sarah?

All the heavy responsibilities fell on Gotatu at once, and he felt mixed emotions for a while.

But at this moment, he felt someone patting his thigh. When he looked up, it was his nephew Gotha.

Gotha showed a smug look, as if he had expected this.

The old man is old, and this time he lost an arm in the ruins of the gods. His strength has been greatly reduced. It will not be stable for him to continue to sit in the position of the family patriarch.

On the way back in the carriage, Griffin Lopez revealed this idea to Gotha. Although he didn't know why the old man's attitude towards him changed 180 degrees, Gotha was quite satisfied when he learned that the seat was going to be given to his uncle.

This means that the old man has finally shown weakness.

And what happened next was, for Gotha, the old man's real sign of weakness.

"The third thing is to restore Godzilla Lopez's position as the leader of the Magic Elite Group of the Lopez Family and establish the first knight group of the Lopez Family. Its first leader will be the Holy Sword Master Goda Lopez!"

Griffin Lopez turned his gaze to Gotha, and everyone else's gazes followed suit, and everyone finally understood why Gotha was at the meeting.

"The Lopez Family Knights? Our family also has a Knights Order?"

"But there is no swordsman in the family! Do we have to recruit someone from outside?"

"This doesn't seem like the style of the clan leader. Hasn't the clan leader always been against the discoloration of the family bloodline? Wouldn't this be the same as the Mars and Orlando families?"

"It is said that Gotha has a high talent for swordsmanship. It seems that the clan leader has come to his senses and made an exception for this."

There was sparse applause, and everyone was more confused than sincerely congratulating.

The patriarch's words cannot be taken back, especially when speaking at a meeting of this scale, which is the result of careful consideration and no one can change his will.

The announcement of these events today will inevitably affect the future of the Lopez family!

"Congratulations, brother, congratulations, nephew. It seems that I came back at the right time today."

At this moment, a voice like the echo of a deep valley was heard from the courtyard outside the meeting room. The voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

Everyone turned their heads.

I saw a woman in a luxurious long dress appear in my sight.

Everyone stood up, involuntarily made way for him, and saluted him.

There was a rumbling sound inside and outside the entire conference room.

"Greetings to Queen Stormrage!"
