"... "

"Shut up, everyone"

The clan leader of the previous generation, who had been silent for a long time, stopped this endless war of words.

"I agree with the Patriarch! Who's for? Who's against?"

"Mr. Suo said so, and I agree..."

"I have always supported Brother Tom..."

In recent years, several old foxes in the Tucson family seemed to have smelled the scent of the younger generation coming to power, and now their greatest representative and backer, the previous generation patriarch, has bowed to the new patriarch, which has made this matter more certain.

"I have the most territory and a lot of money, why should this little bastard let me call the shots..."

The elder who had been the loudest in the protesting faction quickly raised his hand in agreement, hiding his dissatisfaction in his heart.

The Tucson family meeting started in a hurry and ended in silence...

“Grandpa Allen, if you help me get promoted like this, I’m afraid it will arouse some people’s dissatisfaction?”

Tom, who approved the Tucson family's future development plan with a firm attitude, was kneeling respectfully in front of Tucson So Allen, the patriarch of the previous generation of the family.

"This is all as planned. If those people want to oppose it, they must bring me along to work with them. Then I can handle it."

"At this critical juncture, I believe a common goal will be the best solution to the problem."

"The Tucson family now has only one voice."

Alan raised the sprinkler to water the flowers, and a white hair fell at an inopportune time.

His time is running out.

Looking back to the past, he had relied on the power of the Tucson Family to venture out into the world without knowing the immensity of the world, but he was defeated miserably. If it had not been for Tom's grandfather who had let bygones be bygones and helped him, he might have been beaten into a pulp by the rest of the Tucson Family and fed to the beasts of the Victork Forest.

"Grandpa Allen, are we really going to kill King Olson and take his place?"

Tom asked in a voice that was almost heard only by himself.

Even though this was the safest house in the Tucson family and no one else would know the details of their conversation, his heart still trembled over the matter of regicide.

"This is the best decision for the family. No matter what caused King Olson's death, it must be announced to the public that he was poisoned."

"And our Tucson family will stand up for the Kingdom of Vidocq in times of crisis. We will become a royal family that lives and dies with the country, not just a noble family."

"And you will be the first king of the Tucson family. The new generation will offer their fanatical loyalty to you, and the elders of the old generation will no longer have any complaints."

Alan picked up the white hair that had fallen to the ground and showed it to Tom.

"The Tucson family doesn't need a patriarch like Ivo who has completely surrendered to the royal family. You don't have to be so concerned about his affairs. However, if you don't want to be retaliated by the Tucson family, you have to move on."

Alan paused, took a breath, and continued.

"No matter how bad Aiwo is, he is still my son. The elders or regional representatives in the family still like to use my name to do things."

"I went from being a defeated pirate to leading the Tucson family from a small town family to become the largest family in the kingdom. They made a lot of money by following me."

"Like today, there will be a lot of such endless bickering. You were a visitor before, but you will be the one in charge in the future. I am very dissatisfied with your performance today. No one in the tribe, whether your opponents or supporters, will be satisfied."

Alan sighed softly. Although they were both called Tom, this boy was so different from his older cousin.

At first, the eldest cousin was decisive in killing to protect him, but little Tom couldn't even deal with the clan association.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Allen. I've only been in office for a few months. How can we fall out like this? Besides, you said we need to play it safe during this period."

Tom made a feeble attempt to defend himself, then lowered his head and waited for Grandpa Alan's rebuke.

"Hello, Chief Tom"

"Surprising, right? Chief Tom?"

Two members of the Tucson family entered the secret meeting room side by side, and Tom's face was full of surprise when he saw the newcomers.

The two people who were about to fight in the meeting just now actually appeared harmoniously on the same screen. However, what was a bit inconsistent was that they each held a bloody human head in their hands, and the severed ends were very neat, as if they had been chopped off with one knife.

"Thank you, Mr. Suo, for your reminder. If it weren't for the news you passed on, I would never have suspected until my death that this little brother who I personally brought up from prison was actually the king's thorn!"

"Me too, he's my nephew, and he's the one who ordered my orders many times."

Aiwei and Emama expressed their gratitude to the previous patriarch who was resting with his eyes closed.

At first they were wondering where the John Pirates came from?

Unexpectedly, it was Old Suo who helped to pull out the king's spy around them through false information.

"They hid very well, but the king kept urging the intelligence department to find those two people. I used a few civilians to fish a few times, and these people couldn't wait to bite the hook."

"The audience for today's meeting of His Majesty the King has been cleared out, so the two of you don't have to pretend to be at odds anymore."

"Starting tomorrow, we will mobilize all the family's strength to fully cooperate with Tom in all his work matters."

"Pass my order down. The detailed plan will be delivered to the representatives of each region around tomorrow. As long as you all act according to the plan, I promise that when the admiral comes to investigate, we will be the new royal family."

"One more thing. The family's disciplinary team has already started. Those who don't follow the instructions of the bounty order to get rid of the tail will be eliminated."

“No one can stop us from moving forward”

Alan's eyes were still closed, and he looked calm and composed, but his hands under the table had already turned red from being clenched.

"There is one more thing, Tom. You are still too young. If you tell these people that they are staunch patriarchs from the beginning, your acting will be a little artificial, and it will not be as natural as theirs."

"After all, you are the patriarch of the Tucson family, who is supported by the king. If these people are not in harmony with you, it will make outsiders feel that it is natural and harmonious, and it will reduce the vigilance of our enemies to the greatest extent."

Alan patted Tom's lowered head, motioning him to look up and speak.

"I understand, Grandpa Allen, but it's obvious that the shorter one is the dominant one among the two poison masters."

"Although Tanados is quite powerful and has the cover of a navy identity, he is at best a weak follower. I am afraid that if I put all the blame on him, it will cause dissatisfaction among the little guy."

"Who knows if he will start poisoning the kingdom's top officials again."

Tom looked up and expressed his concerns. Before becoming a member of the King's Guard, he was a researcher obsessed with various serial cases, and the short man obviously met the characteristics of a serial killer.

It is impossible for such a person to stop killing for no reason.
