Chapter 116 Family Meeting
.........

Because the father or mother of these illegitimate children is not a Tianlong person, and they are not qualified to marry, each family does not recognize their identity as a Tianlong person.

You must know that not everyone is qualified to join the family of Tianlongren. These people are often leaders in various fields in the world, talents that even Tianlongren are eager for, such as Vega Punk.

Moreover, the fate of these illegitimate children is also different. The good ones have a good position in the government, and the bad ones are exiled to some countries and ignore them.

By the way, the five old stars also belonged to the Tianlong family, but because of the abilities of the five of them, their status is even stronger than most of the Tianlong people.

Now he has silently formed a separate faction with some other people who joined the Tianlongren family.

Bernard entered the social square through a doorway. At a glance, the most striking thing was that there was a high platform in the front, on which were placed nineteen luxurious chairs. There was no one on it, but Bernard knew it with his feet. This is for the principals of the nineteen families, that is, the patriarchs.

And there are hundreds of chairs placed under the high platform, these are the positions for other Tianlong people, the closer the position to the high platform, the higher the status.

Before Bernard's arrival, many Tianlong people took their seats here and there, either quietly, or chatting with people around them, in different forms.

There are twenty chairs in each row, and there are already six people sitting in the first row, all of whom are the number two figures of each family.

Bernard was about to walk forward, but it was a coincidence that St. Giovanni just brought Bafar St. into the social square at this time, and saw Bernard at a glance.

So Saint Giovanni stepped forward and shouted, "Long time no see, Saint Bernard!"

When Bernard heard the voice, he also turned his head to look at Giovanni Saint and said indifferently: "Yes."

"I don't know if Bernard St. is ready to be a slave? Don't lose too badly then!"

"You think too much! I won't lose, the word lose is not in my dictionary!" Bernard said lightly.

"Hehe, I hope you can still be so stubborn by then!"

The conversation between the two ended here, and then Bernard walked to the seventh seat in the first row and sat down. As the second person and quasi-patriarch of the Don Quixote family, he has the qualifications.

The six people in front also glanced at Bernard without saying anything.

After sitting down, Bernard didn't even think about talking to the person next to him, but closed his eyes slightly and fell asleep.

After Bernard sat down, Giovanni San also sat not far from Bernard, but in the second row.

Although Saint Giovanni is the most powerful successor of the Helbalu family, he still has competitors, so he is not yet the number two figure in the Helbaru family.

Bernard is different. Only him and his grandfather Ullens are left in the main family. He is the second figure in the Don Quixote family, there is no doubt about it.

Afterwards, Tianlong people from various families arrived one after another, and the vacancies in the field became less and less, and there were only seven seats left in the first row.

The venue also seemed a little noisy.

More than half an hour later, a cold drink resounded through the audience.

"Quiet!"

All the noisy voices in the field disappeared in an instant, and Bernard also opened his closed eyes.

Afterwards, nineteen Tianlong people of different ages and appearances came out one after another from the gates on both sides. They were the patriarchs of various families, and Bernard's grandfather Ullens was also inside.

And beside the 19 people, there are two people, one as tall as an iron tower, with a bronze complexion, even with white hair, it is hard to hide his strength.

The silence came from him.

The other was lean like an old osprey, without much flesh.But the tanned face, the short gray beard are particularly energetic, and the pair of deep-set eyes are particularly bright.

Behind the nineteen patriarchs, the five old stars also entered the arena, keeping a low profile.

For those two people who seemed to be guards, Bernard searched his memory and didn't have much impression.

In memory, the last time I saw them seemed to be the previous meeting.

However, the identity of those who can stand next to the various patriarchs will not be so low.

Sure enough, after the various patriarchs took their seats, the two guard-like people also sat in the first row, just two positions behind Wu Laoxing.

So far, the first row is full of 20 people.

Everyone in the first row is at the top of the Tianlong people, and their status is unmatched among the Tianlong people.

Either it is the number two person in the family who holds the full power after the patriarch, or the heir to the patriarch who has been determined, the one who can succeed as long as he is not dead, and his position is unshakable.

There is also the fierce man who has faintly separated from the Nineteen Family on the side of Wulaoxing and holds great power in the world government.

The last two people, Bernard, couldn't figure out which one of these three, or one of the other three situations.

After the nineteen patriarchs took their seats, the middle-aged Celestial Dragon patriarch sitting in the middle (seat c) stood up.

He is Garfield Demps St., the patriarch of the Garfield family recognized as the first family in the Tianlongren family.

Naturally, the Tianlong family also has a ranking. The Garfield family is the well-deserved uncrowned king, and the Don Quixote family probably belongs to about six or seven.

This ranking combines many considerations, including economic strength, the highest combat power, the army in hand, and so on.

And the Garfield family is precisely because of the combat power of three generals on the surface, and because it is the richest of the nineteen families, the first throne is well-deserved.

The second and third families are equally divided, and there are two general-level combat powers on the surface.

The fourth to ninth ranks have the combat power of a general.

As for the ten families after the ninth, there is no general-level combat power on the surface, and they are more than a little weaker.

These information are all on the bright side, Bernard can easily know, but this is only on the bright side, who knows how many cards there are in the dark!

As for the combat power of the general described above, Bernard estimated that he only had the combat power of an ordinary general, far inferior to the three admirals of the navy at their peak.

It is not even a problem for the three generals of the navy to pick two or three.

St. Dempsey announced impassionedly: "The 393rd Tianlong meeting has officially started. There were 612 people who should have attended, and 600 people actually arrived."

"The 12 people who did not arrive will deduct one year's offering of heavenly gold!"

"It meets the requirements of the family conference system."

"I declare that the 393rd meeting of the Tianlong family, the opening of the Tianlong plenary meeting."

As soon as Dempsey finished announcing, the first Tianlongren in the first row immediately took the lead in applauding.

There must be a sense of ceremony in a meeting.

There should be no shortage of programs.

Someone took the lead in applauding, and everyone naturally followed suit, and everyone seemed to be paying attention.

Dempsey continued: "Our family meeting will mainly discuss two topics."

"The first issue is the distribution of the heavenly gold."

"Everyone also knows that the gold in the sky is limited, and how much each family wants to get naturally depends on their own abilities."

"Many families expressed dissatisfaction with this year's distribution of Tianshangjin, hoping to re-rule the distribution of Tianshangjin."

"Before, we used to compete to decide. Naturally, this year will be the same. And here is the second topic of today, the year-end celebration."

"This year, our nineteen patriarchs jointly decided to hold a competition at the year-end celebration to determine the distribution of the heavenly gold for the next year."

After Dempsey finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar!
The Tianlong people off the field began to whisper non-stop, discussing this topic frantically.

Tianshangjin refers to the "world nobles" that the countries joining the world government pay a part of their treasures to the Tianlong people every year. The 170 member countries will hand over the treasures to the escort ships of the government navy; they will send the heavenly gold to the holy land of Maryjoa!
And in Mariejoya, many Tianlong people basically depend on the gold from the sky for their expenses, so they can't care more about this issue.

Everyone hopes that their family can get more, so that they can share more.

However, compared with the noise in the back, the Tianlong people in the front rows are extremely calm, forming a stark contrast.

Because they are not short of the money they received from Heavenly Gold, whether or not it has little impact on them, naturally there is nothing to worry about.

The noise in the arena didn't last long. St. Dempsey made a quiet gesture, and at the same time, there was an invisible momentum spreading out around the high platform.

All of a sudden, the noise in the field disappeared.

"Domineering and domineering!?" Bernard thought with a little surprise, but he was not too surprised that it is normal for the patriarch of the first family to have the talent to become a king!

"The rules of the competition will be a ring system. The nine families with the most heavenly gold shares will be the masters, and the remaining ten families will be the challengers. The winner can replace the loser's heavenly gold share. One family will have one chance to challenge."

In fact, it is to accept the challenge of the remaining ten families who do not have general combat power.

Not only that, since St. Dempsey said just now that some families are dissatisfied with this year's share, there are nothing more than two situations.

The last ten families of the first type have great generals, and they are dissatisfied with the distribution of the gold share in the sky, and want to snatch food from the top nine families.

The second is the internal competition among the first nine families, who want to grab more shares, or take this opportunity to show their family's muscles.

The third is the competition of the last ten families, but this possibility is the least, because the difference in the shares of the last ten families is actually very small, and it is not possible for all Tianlong people to hold a meeting for this benefit.

"If everyone has no objections, the next step is about the arrangements for the year-end celebration!" St. Dempsey continued.

The rest of the Tianlong people naturally dare not have an opinion. This is not a democratic system in modern society. The system of One Piece is more like a semi-feudal and semi-slavery social system.

The plan determined by the nineteen patriarchs is equivalent to the imperial decree of the previous emperor, where there is no room for refutation.
