Working Prophet.

Chapter 668 Fighting Challenge
"This is too barbaric." The housekeeper said, "What we want to elect is the next Patriarch of the family, not a warrior. Wisdom is far more important than force."

"I'm not asking you, but telling you." Harman said.

"According to the ancient tradition of the Western Region, if any members of the immediate family are dissatisfied with the candidate for the heir, they can initiate a contest."

"You made this up, right? Why didn't I know there was such a tradition in the western region?" Jialin frowned.

"Uh... It seems that there is indeed such a tradition of deciding the heir through the challenge of martial arts."

It was the oldest immediate member of the Emmanuel family who spoke, an uncle of Theodossi.

He looked a little hesitant, as if he was trying to remember, "Before the Enriquez family ruled the western region, the Comans were the masters of this land, and this tradition should be set by them."

"Are you serious?" The housekeeper looked at Harman, "The Comans were all extinct thousands of years ago, and no one cares about their traditions."

"But we have their blood flowing through us," Harman said. "Although there is only a small part of it, tradition is tradition...need to be respected"

"The Comans still like to dance with their buttocks bare, and all the brothers in the family share one wife. Why don't you respect these traditions?" Galin retorted.

A flash of anger flashed in Harman's eyes, but he suppressed it in the end.

"Challenge, if I win, I will admit that Angela is the head of the Emanuel family."

Rafal said, "Count me in as well."

"You really want to compete with your own sister?" The housekeeper's brows became more and more tight.

"If she doesn't want to fight, she can choose to give up her inheritance rights."

"It's ridiculous to use the tradition thousands of years ago to initiate a challenge." Galin said, "Miss Angela can't possibly agree."

"Then how do you plan to solve the current situation?" Rafal asked.

"Vote." The housekeeper said, "Since you don't want to recognize Lord Theodosius' suicide note, let's use the vote to decide who will be the next head of the family. All direct family members have one vote per person, which is fair and just."

"Does your fairness mean that you have spent a lot of money to buy more than half of the voters?" Harman sneered and reiterated.

"Contest is the only solution I can accept."

"I also think the contest is good."

A voice sounded from outside the door, and then a tall figure walked in from outside.

After seeing the appearance of the person, everyone in the hall was taken aback for a moment, and then stood up from their chairs.

The person who came was the cousin "Severe Winter" Gwen, the current Patriarch of the Figuerola family, Hells.

Before leaving the Western Territory, Hulls appointed his cousin as the acting city lord of Rock Snow City, which also meant that he entrusted the entire Western Territory, including the Figuerola family, to the latter.

Now no one in this land is more honorable than Ge Wen, so when Ge Wen showed up, people stood up and saluted one after another.

And the acting city lord of Yanxue City seemed to be in a good mood today, and a rare smile appeared on his face that had been stern.

He strode into the room and took off the mink cloak he was wearing, handed it to the waiter behind him, and then said to the housekeeper.

"I hope I didn't bother you. I just came out to relax. I happened to walk near Black Rock City. I heard that there is excitement in the city. Come and take a look. You don't have to pay attention to me."

Although Ge Wen said it lightly, no one was so naive as to think that he really just came here by accident.

As the acting city lord of Yanxue City, instead of staying in Yanxue City, he suddenly appeared here, obviously he is also very concerned about the outcome of this negotiation.

This is not surprising. As the richest aristocratic family in the western region, the Emmanuel family will inevitably involve many interests in the selection of the next head of the family.

However, Ge Wen's personal appearance this time still surprised many people.

The housekeeper glanced at Harman who was not far away. He didn't invite many allies this time, but he always acted confidently. After Ge Wen appeared, his face was even more joyful.

Obviously, this is his real strength.

And although Ge Wen said that he shouldn't care about him, he had already expressed his opinion as soon as he entered the door, and everyone heard the sentence "I also think the martial arts competition is good".

As the vassals of the Figuerola family, the Emanuel family urgently needed to show their loyalty, especially after Ilkander's betrayal of the Marquis Cullen, which made it impossible for them to ignore Gwen's opinion now.

Jialin's face was a bit ugly, but the matter had come to this point, she finally had to accept this result, took a deep breath and said.

"For the contest, Miss Angela will use a proxy knight to fight."

"Yes." Harman nodded, and then added, "But the choice of proxy knight can only be limited to the family."

Although he didn't look at Miss Rabbit when he said this, everyone knew who he was targeting.

If the champion of the martial arts tournament is allowed to participate in the battle, then everyone will be fart and just wash up and sleep.

"Why?" The housekeeper asked back, "I don't remember that there are such restrictions on choosing a proxy knight."

"Usually no, but choosing the head of the family is an internal matter of the family, and it is best to be resolved by people within the family. Don't you think so, Miss Garin?"

The housekeeper heard the threatening meaning in Harman's words, and he did have the capital to threaten.

Because Ge Wen was sitting right behind him.

But if she promised, she couldn't find any masters who could beat Ge Wen steadily, so she couldn't help being caught in a dilemma.

Ilea thought that she had collected so much money, it would not be good to just sit and watch the fun, and it just so happened that her hands were a little itchy right now.

So he coughed lightly, and took the initiative to say, "Someone challenged Ms. Angela to a martial arts competition. According to the rules of the movie viewing meeting, I can fight for her."

"A movie viewing session? What is that?!" Ge Wen frowned.

"An organization I founded aims to watch and help each other. Members can help each other against powerful enemies." Miss Rabbit explained. The Yi people..."

In the end, she was interrupted by Ge Wen before she finished speaking, "I don't see any meaning for its existence... What you said, the Figuerola family can do it too."

Miss Rabbit originally wanted to say that if the Figueirola family were so easy to use, they would not have been defeated by those dwarves before. She was the one who retrieved the body of Marquis Cullen, but she held back after thinking about it.

These words are a bit too treacherous for the vassals.

The female lord feels that she has really grown up.

Seeing that Ilea didn't speak anymore, Ge Wen said with satisfaction, "Then let's do this, Miss Angela's acting knight will be chosen within the family."
