Chapter 492 - Madness. Unexpected Result.
The Solomon family, the one generation who had killed his family to seize power. The madman who used his great martial strength to integrate the family forces to lead the Solomon family to triumph, David Solomon, had died in battle! He died in the hands of the only blood heir left by his elder brother, who was also the strongest Solomon in the younger generation in the Solomon family.
Two shocking news swept the rich and powerful families in Europe in an instant! People were surprised to find out that the rising of this young generation of martial artists surpassed almost any generation of martial artists!
This young generation of martial artists did not only have their martial dao strength advance by leaps and bounds, their determination to make decisions also made the older generation of martial artists stand back in admiration.
The death of David Solomon had caused the major families to re-examine the strength of these daring young people. The seventeen-star class David Solomon had really gone all out, but he was still killed by this group of young people.
The fact that Solomon became the patriarch of the Solomon family was not a problem. The only question was, how long will it take for him to suppress the opposition and truly control the family?
Killing David Solomon certainly demonstrated deterrence, but the power in a huge family was so complicated that it was not an easy task to subjugate all the forces.
David Solomon of that day was able to subjugate all these forces because he was crazy enough. In order to seize the patriarchal position, he had even killed his own father and brother. That madman-like attitude conveyed a clear attitude to everyone.
“I! For the throne of the patriarch, dare to kill my father and brothers! Who else is there that I dare not kill?”
The tyrannical strength and actions of a madman had caused the members of the Solomon family to dare not resist this madman. Now that David Solomon was dead...
In the temporary conference hall of the Solomon family, there were family members who came back from different parts of the Federation sitting on both sides of the long conference table. They were whispering amongst each other and even sneaked glimpses of the vacant family throne from time to time.
Almost everyone’s eyes were smiling, the madman was finally dead! A twenty-year-old young man wanted to be the patriarch? He thought he could unite the family with the people he brought back? This was not the Alexander family. There was no aunt who supported Caesar. Unless he was another madman who dares to kill the whole family to unite the whole family, they would certainly get a lot of benefits.
The door of the conference room was opened again slowly, the people who were whispering lifted up their heads and looked back in unison. Solomon’s feet were floating in the air, as if he was walking up invisible stairs. Step... step... step...
Solomon’s body rose slowly with the help of the Wukong technique and moved forward slowly. The heads of the people also raised slowly with the rising of Solomon’s body. They watched him float to the top of the long meeting table.
Pa! Solomon’s military boots made a crisp collision sound with the desktop. The air in the room seemed to quake!
Pa... pa... pa...
Solomon walked slowly on the long meeting table, just like how a movie star walked on the red carpet. However, the difference was that movie stars had to look at the people around them but Solomon did not need to look!
He walked slowly with his hands behind his back. Every step was as steady as a rock. His eyes were staring at the patriarch throne as if there was only one chair in the room and nothing else existed.
There was no one in sight! Domineering tyrant! His sixteen-star class martial dao strength was like a huge mountain that pressured the crowd to hold their breaths until they watched him go all the way to the front of the patriarch throne.
Solomon jumped off the table and walked around the patriarch throne slowly. His palms touched the top of the chair gently as if he was fondling his lover. His eyes did not leave the chair from beginning to end.
“From this day onward.” Solomon sat down in the chair and leaned his back against the chair as he scanned the crowd slowly for the first time, “I, Solomon, am the new generation’s patriarch.”
The room was quiet, no one thought that Solomon would not even greet anyone in the room, nor not care that he had no foundation in the family. He said directly that he had become the patriarch!
There was a short moment of silence and shock. A middle-aged man with silver hair on Solomon’s left-hand side coughed softly. He attracted everyone’s attention and said, “Regarding being the patriarch... Solomon. This is our entire family... hmm... hmm...”
The middle-aged man had yet to finish his words when his throat was suddenly stopped by Solomon’s big hand that was like a steel tong. His vocal cords wanted to make a sound, but they could only make strange utterances. His two legs left the ground unknowingly and he kicked in mid-air helplessly trying to save himself.
Solomon had a smile on his face. This smile was a little familiar in the eyes of the middle-aged man. It was David Solomon’s smile.
He exerted more power in his five fingers. The sound of bones in the process of being crushed could be heard in the conference room. Kacha... kacha... kacha...
A member at the conference table that was seated relatively far away from Solomon slammed his palms on the table. His body shot up like a steel spear and his eyes glared at Solomon like a sword and shouted, “Solo...”
He did not finish shouting Solomon’s name when his head was crushed by a palm aura that flew over. His dead body fell to the ground and the blood spurted out from his neck.
Solomon put down his right palm that was used to kill him. His eyes stared at the table and his left hand continued to retract bit by bit, twisting and breaking the person who first opposed him.
“Disrespectful. Since when can you claim the name of the patriarch of the Solomon family?”
Solomon exerted force on his five fingers. The throat in his hand shattered suddenly. His wrist slammed on the shiny conference table. The corpse slid on the conference table and then finally stopped at the center of that table.
“Didn’t David teach you etiquette when he was the patriarch?” Solomon sat back on his seat slowly, like the ruler of the world. He looked at everyone quietly, “Who allowed you to talk when the patriarch did not? Calling the name of the patriarch directly? Did you do the same during David’s time?”
Peng peng peng! Three chairs fell to the ground. Three people stood up at the sides of the long table. Others who saw also placed their hands on the table and were ready to get up. Such arrogance and fierceness. Then, everyone stood up together and let him know the danger of making everyone angry.
“Kill them.” Solomon waved gently, and the three fifteen-star martial dao masters of the Solomon family entered the conference room. They executed Solomon’s command faithfully and broke the muscles and bones of the three instantly.
The world of martial artists was a bit simpler than the world of a family. Moreover, the martial senses of martial artists at the master level were undefiable. The first time they saw Solomon, they knew that this young man who killed the patriarch would not mind killing anyone else that blocked him from his goal.
Especially when there was a group of powerful martial artists following this young patriarch!
Solomon leaped gently onto the conference table. He strode toward the outside of the door. He said a string of words coldly, “The reason I called everyone to come today was not to listen to your opinions but to inform you. I will kill anyone who objects me. Everyone that objects me will be killed. From now onward, the whole family will fully support Qin Fen’s legion in the fight for the title of the Divine Beast martial artist in Saturn. I will kill the whole family of those who objects. Dismissed!”
It was not more than five minutes since Solomon entered and left the conference room. However, the shock he left behind for everyone lingered far longer than this short amount of time.
Everyone looked at Solomon’s back as he disappeared. They realized that their clothes were soaked with sweat. The decisive killing, the reckless killing, even giving an order to kill all those and their family who object!
Madman! No! Mad devil! This young patriarch was even crazier than the former madman David Solomon! At least in the eyes of David Solomon, he still needed some supportive characters, but this Solomon didn’t care at all.
David Solomon did not mention killing everyone. Today, they finally heard it from his successor. This Solomon only needed the resources of the Solomon family. He did not care whether the Solomon family could continue. If no one opposed him, he would choose to let the Solomon family continue to exist.
However, if there were objections...! Solomon had made his words clear. He would kill anyone who opposed it. Everyone would be killed if all of them were opposed! An extermination of the entire family!
Solomon stepped out of the room and immediately boarded the high-speed helicopter that was waiting in the distance.
Lin Ling and Du Peng who guarded Zuo Lin had already received a notice and entered the cockpit of the aircraft.
“So fast?” Xue Tian looked up at Solomon who returned, “I haven’t finished this game yet. I didn’t expect people from your family to be so tactful.”
Solomon boarded the plane and sat down on the seat next to Xue Tian. He looked at the crowd who were looking at him and said with a flat tone, “Kill whoever is disobedient.”
Xue Tian patted Solomon’s back. He didn’t say much. He understood his friend’s emotions. It was because of the previous video that had overturned his world view for several years. For the time being, his emotions were unstable.
The plane flew with high speed in the sky, drawing a stream of air that could be seen by the naked eye. It flew at an extremely fast speed toward the east coast of America.
New York was the largest city in the United States, it was also the largest port in the world. It was the fifth-largest city on Earth as well as the capital of the economic, financial, and art media of the Federation.
The Alpha family, one of the largest families in the state, was located in the city of New York.
In the huge circular conference hall sat nearly hundreds of Alpha family members. All of them had returned from all around the world. Some people even came back here without having a chance to take a sip of water, as they had immediately rushed over.
Richard Alpha sat in the rostrum of the round conference hall was the patriarch of the current Alpha family and Brooks Alpha’s father.
The news that David Solomon was killed by a group of young people in Greece did not only spread rapidly in Europe, it was spread to every family on Earth.
The Alexander family was taken over by the young Caesar, and the patriarch of the Solomon family was killed with Solomon now as its master. Today, this group of young people who were making big waves was flying to America at a high speed.
The two consecutive incidents of seizing the family had aroused the vigilance of everyone.
The people of the Alpha family knew that Sky Splitter Brooks played a big role in these two incidents from the news. He had gone into the battle personally and killed David Solomon.
What was the reason these young people made such a move? The patriarch, Richard Alpha understood clearly that they did this entirely for a young man named Qin Fen.
The door of the noisy conference room door was pushed open slowly. The people who talked quietly were immediately attracted by the opened main entrance. They noticed a few handsome young men and a young man who was beaten up like an abstract art portrait was held in the hands of one of these young people, his expression looking very tired.
Brooks Alpha! The pride of the younger generation of the Alpha family! One of the great guarantees of the future family’s martial strength! Surprisingly, Brooks Alpha, who studied at Sacred Martial Hall returned.
Soon, people immediately recognized the people beside Brooks, another first successor of a huge family in the United States, Little Dragon King Yang Lie!
Richard Alpha sat on the high podium and watched his son, who looked straight back at him, calmly.
The father and son held eye contact and the meeting room was quiet. Some people in the crowd didn’t even know why Brooks Alpha appeared.
“Are you coming to take over the family?” Richard Alpha smiled softly, without any tension on his face, “My dear son.”
“Yes, father.” Brooks Alpha stepped into the hall and looked at Richard Alpha, “In the future, we are going to fight the divine beasts in Saturn. We need resources and information. We can create it with our ability. But that’s too slow. We don’t mind snatching it. Especially the resources of the forces that have abandoned us for the sake of profit.”
Richard Alpha smiled faintly. He looked at Brooks, then Caesar and then at Yang Lie, Xue Tian, Solomon, Du Peng, and Lin Ling. Finally, he set his sights on Qin Fen. “My son has done so much for you. What can you do for him? Young man.”
“Anything that I can do and cannot do.” Qin Fen replied calmly.
Richard Alpha stared at Qin Fen for a few seconds and turned his gaze back to Brooks. He left the podium and stood in front of Brooks. His figure was a little bigger than Brooks. He stretched out his thick palm, “Dear son, congratulations. Now, you are now the patriarch of the Alpha family.”
The quiet meeting room suddenly became rowdy; no one thought that when Richard Alpha faced these young people, he would choose to avoid conflict and directly handed over the family.
“Patriarch Richard! Our Alpha family is a glorious family, and we do not allow this kind of absurd behavior!”
“Patriarch Richard, our Alpha family has the strength to fight, don’t be afraid of these young people.”
Richard Alpha raised his hand slowly and stopped the noise around him. There was a gentleman’s smile on his face which made people believe that he was a nobleman, full of artful aura, and not a patriarch that held the power to kill.
“I am very clear on everyone’s thoughts.” Richard Alpha smiled lightly, “You don’t believe in this group of young people. Actually, I don’t believe them. The roots of these young people are somewhat shallow compared to the power of the Lion King Zuo Dongting. But I believe in my son. He had refused my proposal previously, even when I threaten to drive him out of the family and deny him as heir, he still refused to retreat. I am very curious. I want to see the person who made him willing to do this.”
“Patriarch...”
“There’s no need to say anything else. I am the patriarch.” Richard Alpha waved his hand gently, “Things had been decided.”
“But patriarch...”
“Brooks, do you need help?”
Solomon released his gloomy and mad killing aura’s words from gritted teeth, and the man who wanted to continue to speak shuddered instinctively all of a sudden.
Brooks shrugged his shoulders, showing that he didn’t care. “I am not familiar with some of these people. If there are people who are not obedient, then I don’t mind the patriarch of the Solomon family killing a few members of the Alpha family since you’ve already slaughtered your group of important members of the Solomon family.”
The conference hall became so quiet that they could hear the sound of a needle dropping. Solomon’s face showed a bit of excitement and madness. His eyes swept over the crowd. His eyes were filled with expectations, he expected someone to jump out and continue to defy them.
It was not long before the people at the meeting heard the message that Solomon killed the patriarch David Solomon in Greece. At the subsequent meeting, he had proclaimed himself as the patriarch without any vote of consent. He even made a very crazy move: he had killed important members of the family.
The patriarch was not forced to surrender power, instead, he handed over the power happily. The patriarch’s will could not be refuted and the people do not have much strength to go against the patriarch. The conference room remained silent.
Richard Alpha smiled and pointed to Zuo Lin, who was in Qin Fen’s hands, “You may not be reconciled, but you can see who the one in their hands is. It is the person who wanted to trade with our family from Saturn, Colonel Zuo Lin. A person who was easily caught by my son and his companions. Do you think there will be a future in trading with him?”
It was only then that the people realized that the young man who was labeled abstract art was the grandson of Zuo Dongting, the new star of the military, Zuo Lin.
Qin Fen felt that the atmosphere of the venue began to turn around, and it was not long before everyone accepted this fact.
Qin Fen looked at Brooks and said softly, “You have a good father.”
“Of course.” Brooks touched the tip of his nose, “I had already decided, if my father did not support us, then everyone will go see my mother with me. My mother to show up to settle this matter.”
Richard Alpha smiled and shook his head repeatedly, “I am afraid that your mother will show up, so I will support you to do things as you like. Are you going to the Yang family next?”
Yang family... The two words popped out of Richard’s mouth, and Yang Lie’s body shuddered. Obviously, that was an instinctive reaction.
Richard Alpha looked at Yang Lie and nodded slowly. “Young people, you are clear of the consequences of doing so, but you still insist on doing this?”
“Fine then.” Richard looked at Yang Lie’s spirit and sighed, “The old guys in the Yang family have their own skills. They could stand in the state of the United States as Chinese and develop into the largest family with power. There is absolutely no luck in this. They are really powerful, but they can also be the most stubborn group of people. I wish you good luck. Young people like you can participate in seizing the family’s power. I cannot be involved or it will make things worse.”
