Chapter 1591: Chapter 918: The Worries of the Other Two Elders_2 Chapter 1591: Chapter 918: The Worries of the Other Two Elders_2 “Tsk, you old man still have the nerve to sigh here. If it weren’t for you agreeing and casting your vote, how could Harrison have the power to gather the entire family to support the Fourth Prince?”
The red-faced elder sneered at the bald elder’s lamentation, and coldly said, “This is equivalent to placing the entire fate of Sanders Family on the shoulders of the Fourth Prince.”
“What could I do?”
There was a hint of evasiveness in the old eyes of the bald elder. He hurriedly drank a sip of tea to calm his nerves and argued, “It was that guy who boasted, saying that you had already agreed, so naturally, I couldn’t lag behind!”
“Don’t try to justify your actions, Harrison must have given you a lot of fertile land in exchange.”
The red-faced elder picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of hot tea without paying it any attention, and disdainfully said, “I didn’t expect you to be so hasty when it comes to matters that will decide the fate of the family!”
“I think you’re just jealous. Haven’t you occupied quite a lot of fertile land these years?”
Accepting his fate, the bald elder no longer tried to justify himself. He puffed out his chest and glared, “Besides, the other two great noble families have already allied themselves with the Fourth Prince. What’s the harm if our Sanders Family join in as well?”
“It’s no secret that those two families have long harbored rebellious intentions against the kingdom, and now our Sanders Family is openly involved in this as well. You’re not only conspiratorial but also dancing with two wolves, and you, old man, should know the consequences of such actions!”
The red-faced elder became so angry that his beard was crooked. He slammed the teacup he had just picked up back onto the table, coldly saying, “If the Fourth Prince’s army is defeated, or if he is conspired against by those two families afterward, leading to the decline or even destruction of our Sanders Family’s bloodline, you and Harrison will both be the criminals of our family!”
“That’s an exaggeration! Our Sanders Family has numerous strong fighters, and our ten main forces corps are no less powerful than those of the Lancaster and Yorkman families. Even if they wanted to make a move, they’d have to see if they have the ability to do so!”
Upon hearing the red-faced elder’s words, the bald elder’s hand holding the teacup trembled. Although he clearly felt uneasy in his heart, he stubbornly argued, “Besides, how could three great noble families, along with the Fourth Prince’s one million strong army, possibly fail?”
“Although our Sanders Family is full of strong fighters and our overall strength is no weaker than the Lancaster and Yorkman families, our combat experience is far inferior to the two families who have been guarding the borders for many years. Besides, the patriarchs of those two families, one is cunning from the inside out and the other appears to be rough but is actually extremely meticulous in his actions. Neither of them is easy to deal with.”
The red-faced elder let out a heavy sigh, shook his head helplessly, and said, “The most crucial point is that Harrison is arrogant and always wants to take the lead to grab more benefits. Little does he know that pride comes before a fall, and the first bird to take flight is often the one shot down.”
“You always encourage others and belittle yourself.”
The bald elder put down the teacup and spread his hands, saying, “Regardless, we’re already in this situation, and there’s nothing we can do to change it.”
“Have you thought about what steps Harrison’s group will take next since they have already killed Kane and the others?”
The red-faced elder’s voice lowered a few degrees and gravely said, “For years, you and I have been like grass on the fence, shifting sides and grabbing benefits from both sides. Harrison must have been grinding his teeth with hate all this time.”
“Are you saying that Harrison will make a move against us?!”
Touching his smooth forehead, the bald elder asked in disbelief, “Is he trying to take full control of the Elders Council? No, is he trying to take full control of the Sanders Family? Our influence may not be as strong as his, but combined with Kane and the others, we would still hold at least 30% of the family’s power. He would be cutting off his own arm.”
“He has already taken the forbidden step of joining the royal power struggle, and there’s nothing he wouldn’t dare to do now.”
The red-faced elder took a deep breath, and a touch of solemnity appeared in his old eyes, muttering, “At this point, both of us are standing at the edge of the abyss, at any moment the darkness could swallow us.”
Just as the red-faced elder and the bald elder reached this point in their conversation.
An unexpected hoarse voice suddenly rang through the room, “It seems you two fence-sitters have already realized that you’re now at the brink of destruction.”
“Is that Kane’s voice?”
Upon hearing the unexpected sound, the red-faced elder and the bald elder were both startled and simultaneously looked towards the direction of the sound.
They saw that Kane indeed was standing in the corner of the room, staring at them expressionlessly.
“Kane, how are you – weren’t you already dead?”
The red-faced elder stood up abruptly, his face full of amazement, “How come you suddenly appeared here?”
“Could it be that this guy was cursed with something terrible and came to take revenge on us?”The bald old man had large beads of sweat forming on his shiny forehead, and quickly waved his hands, saying, “We just found out about your attack and were not involved in it at all!”
“I didn’t expect that you two cunning old foxes would also have a day of fear.”
Kane’s old face was full of disdain, and he snorted coldly, saying, “Unfortunately, the four of us didn’t die, disappointing you.”
“What?!”
Hearing this unexpected answer, the red-faced old man and the bald old man looked at each other for a while, before exclaiming in disbelief: “Even if you could escape, why would you appear here under heavy defense?”
“It’s because we are no longer empty promises, and we now have an incomparably strong support!”
Kane’s old face was filled with pride and determination as he smiled, “This great person and Princess will guide us on a miraculous journey filled with dawn!”
After saying this, Old Kane respectfully saluted, and the figures of Leo Ray and Ariel Watson slowly emerged.
“Old servant pays his respects to Princess!”
Seeing Ariel’s delicate figure, the red-faced old man and the bald old man were full of shock and quickly knelt on one knee to salute.
“Rise, you have all been diligent and dedicated to the Sanders Family, being the pillars of talent for our Coldflame Kingdom.”
Ariel nodded slightly, her fair and graceful face calm.
Under Leo Ray’s careful cultivation, Ariel had already begun to show the demeanor of a queen, gradually distancing herself from the capricious and spoiled princess she was at the beginning.
“Old servant thanks Princess!”
Standing up, the red-faced old man’s gaze shifted to Leo Ray, who was sitting on the same level as Ariel, and saluted again, “This must be the famous Mr. Lane, right? I feel honored to meet you in person.”
The other bald old man also hurriedly nodded his head, echoing, “Mr. Lane’s military tactics are like that of a divine figure, with a reputation that resonates like a piercing clap of thunder!”
“Elder Evan, Elder Bazeer, I am just riding the waves under Princess Ariel’s banner, there’s nothing worth boasting about.”
Leo Ray nodded with a gentle smile on his face.
Through Old Kane’s introduction, Leo Ray had already learned about the situation of these two neutral elders.
Moreover, from the beginning of their conversation, Leo Ray and the others had actually already arrived at the scene.
Thus, he had a general understanding of the considerations of these two neutral elders, knowing that in their hearts, they were already worried about their own safety.
This would undoubtedly make the upcoming persuasion smoother.
“I won’t keep it from you two elders, the only purpose for Princess Ariel and me coming here is to pull Harrison down from his position as head of the family, and that’s all.”
Leo Ray simply went straight to his plan without any detours.
After Leo Ray finished speaking, Kane also hurriedly expressed the attitude of himself and the other three elders, firmly standing on the side of Leo Ray and Ariel.
“Mr. Lane is indeed extraordinary, using the simplest and most straightforward words to say something that is shocking enough that ordinary people wouldn’t even dare think of.”
After listening to Leo Ray’s words, the red-faced elder named Evan and the bald elder named Basil Turner were amazed and began to look at each other again.
A moment later, Elder Evan gave a light cough, a serious look on his old face, “Mr. Lane, may I ask if you have the confidence to defeat the Fourth Prince?”
“Forgive me for being blunt, but if you don’t, then changing the head of the Sanders Family at this time would be tantamount to inviting self-destruction!”
