i I Chapter 0547 Get out? Would Callie kick people out? I I "Uncle, don't bother with Callie. She's I too scared even to hold a proper vote for the head of the family. She's just after the family fortune!" "Yeah! Why should Tacker take over? Just because he's a martial arts grandmaster? With enough money, we can hire a dozen more grandmasters. What's one grandmaster worth? We shouldn't fear him!" "'Callie's uncle is the obvious choice for the new head of the family. He's at the right age, and he has the respect and prestige!" "Callie's uncle taking over is what's meant to be. We're all behind you!" The relatives’ voices rose like a storm,

I DoS Cig ivi and Callie's uncle, Alonso Xanthos, ) entered the hall with a grin. The man was also Ywain's cousin. He took his place at j the front of the room with a confident swagger and smiled at Callie. "Did you I hear that, Callie? "I assure you that I never aspired to becthe family's head. However, how could I refuse when faced with such overwhelming support from our dear friends and family? So, with a heavy heart, I will step in and temporarily fill the role, leading the Xanthos family to greater heights! "As for poor Ywain, well, death's final, right? A big, fancy funeral would bleed our coffers dry. Let's keep it simple—get him buried in the family plot without any fuss." Crash! Callie was shell-shocked, her face a canvas of raw astonishment.

I Was that a coup? J They must have been in cahoots all along.

Alonso, the cunning fox, had planned the I power grab, and there she was, foolishly believing she could keep her brother's ' position at the helm! Those people were monsters, not men! "Bravo, Mister Alonso! You're the new head of the family!" "Mister Alonso, with your esteemed character, it's only natural for you to take the reins. My respects to you... oh, I mean, to our new family head!" "Here's to the new family head!" The room erupted in cheers as Alonso, his face creased with age, sat in the patriarch's chair, his laughter booming.

"I'm honored by your support. Since you all insist, I will humbly accept the mantle.

The head of the family, that is!" "Wait, we're missing a key witness! Get

, Tacker. We can't have the succession } ceremony without him!" I Two of the Xanthos family's young I members sprang into action, flanked by I three martial arts executors. They burst I into the ancestral hall and hauled a dazed I Tacker out into the open.

"Brother!" Callie could not take it anymore. She dashed forward in a burst of speed and threw herself into Tacker's arms, crying.

"Brother, please snap out of it. We can't let them take over everything Dad worked so hard for! "Brother, I know you're just acting. You have to be! You're too strong to let this get to you. Con, shake it off, shake it off!" However, her pleas were ignored.

Tacker was crouched on the ground, cradling his head and wearing a vacant

i smile. He kept saying, barely understandable, "It's all gone, all of it, gone..." { f ' He looked like he had been hit by a ton of I bricks, his mind lost to the shock.

I "Such a shame," Alonso muttered under his breath.

Seated at the head of the hall, his aged t eyes narrowed as he studied Tacker's face, a glint of malice barely visible.

"Based on Tacker's condition, his martial arts training appears to have backfired.

He is on the verge of losing his mind.

"As the new head of the family, I can't just watch him die. However, to save Tacker's life, I have no choice but to destroy his meridians. That should prevent any further damage from his training mishap." Alonso leaped out of his seat, aiming a clawed hand at Tacker's abdomen. He let out a chilling laugh, which only Callie

"could hear. "My dear niece, don't think of )as cruel. You and your brother are nothing more than threats. I can't let you. I I live.

"And now, both of you will die!"
