215: C215 Black and White Chess

C215 Black and White Chess

"Alright, I agree."

Old Master Liu said honestly. He did not use a vicious scheme to harm people around him.

If he didn't have no other choice, he wouldn't force an outsider to join Liu Family's camp.

"Old Master, from today onwards, I will do my best to help you. No matter what happens in the future, we will all live and die together."

Jiang Chen said seriously.

The lordmaster said nothing, but there seemed to be a look of contemplation in his eyes, as if he had thought of many things.

… ….

With the death of the Patriarch of the Ma Family, the three carriages started to fight for the Patriarch's seat.

However, there was a rule in Ma Family. If one wanted to become a Patriarch, unless the previous Patriarch voted for them, they could only vote for more than half the people in the upper echelons of the Ma Family, otherwise, there was no other way.

Amongst the three carriages, Ma Boqian's power was the greatest, and his Ma Family foundation was the most solid.

Among the upper echelons, the one with the most popularity and prestige was the most popular.

Ma Qiloong was slightly inferior. He was the most popular person in front of the former Patriarch, and originally, he had the most chance of getting promoted by the Patriarch.

But now that the Patriarch was dead, he had lost the opportunity to soar into the heavens in one step.

However, as a disciple of a side branch of Ma Family, he had not relied entirely on flattery to survive to this day.

After the clan leader died, he immediately took over the clan head's position, and with the clan head's personal letter in hand, he temporarily took over as the clan leader's position.

This personal will is indeed an interesting thing. According to the clan rules of Ma Family, if the current clan leader dies by accident, his will would become something similar to Shang Fang's Treasure Sword.

And if the will mentioned the successor of the next clan leader, then this person would temporarily assume the position of clan leader until the next clan leader was chosen.

So as they continued to investigate, many people in the Ma Family started to suspect if the Patriarch was killed by Ma Qiloong.

However, this was only a guess, after all, there was no evidence.

Moreover, something happened at the same time in the Liu Family, which made people wonder if the two things were caused by the external forces.

Three consecutive meetings of the Ma Family's core were all unsatisfactory.

Every time, because of the few votes cast, not more than half of the votes had been cast.

Ma Boqian, who shouted the loudest, didn't get much votes when it really came to the polls. He was always in the middle or lower rankings three times.

However, Ma Bo Xu became the one with the largest number of votes. With only half of his vote, his vote was not in accordance with the clan rules. Thus, the position of the Patriarch wasn't decided.

"I'm so pissed off, these two bastards!"

Ma Boqian walked into the room, threw off the clothes in anger and paced back and forth in the room.

Ma Enfu stood aside and did not even dare to breathe too loudly. He knew that his father was fighting with his two uncles and elders and did not have the upper hand.

The things that had been arranged and the people that had been prepared suddenly changed at the most crucial moment.

After the death of the Patriarch, the original plan was for father to smoothly take over and become the Patriarch of Ma Family.

However, something unexpected happened one after another at this moment. Ma Qiloong took out a will from nowhere and Ma Bo Xu secretly dragged the people that he knew well into the camp.

This greatly delayed the progress of the matter, causing his father's plan to be unable to be carried out smoothly.0

"Enfu, how's the progress on Liu Family?"

After throwing a tantrum, Ma Boqian calmed down, sat on the chair and asked.

"Basically, we have everything under control. The moment Old Master Liu disappeared, Liu Family became a headless beast, Liu Lieh also disappeared, and the only one left was Liu Jiayu who didn't have the ability to control the family, so …!"

Ma Enfu did not continue. He was afraid of provoking them in the vicinity.

"That kid surnamed Liu is faster than me!"

"It seems that we can only have the Seventh Servant make his move. Since we have already reached this point, it's not a long term plan. If the time limit is up and I still can't control the Ma Family, then perhaps we will be thrown away like abandoned children."

Ma Enfu was shocked. Of course, he knew that no one could not give up on this matter.

In the face of benefits, in the face of a situation that could affect the situation, only those who could control the situation could stay and reap the most benefits.

Although right now the person to receive his Ma Family was his father, if his father was unable to control it within a short period of time, then the next scenario that would happen would most likely be his father being abandoned. At that time, his entire bloodline would lose its power and be thrown away like trash.

"Father, the Patriarch just died. At a time like this, we are going to start a massacre. Will that affect us greatly?"

Ma Enfu said worriedly.

"Furthermore, we cannot afford to wait any longer, as the sky above our Guihai has changed. From the moment we chose to enter the competition, many things were out of our control, so if we wanted to avoid getting kicked out, we could only rely on our own value and ability to carve out a path of blood."

Ma Boqian said in a teaching tone, "Enfu, you have to remember that sometimes things in this world can work, but sometimes you can only throw away a few things for your own benefit."

His gaze turned cold, and he continued to speak: "One slave general, you will bring the seventh slave to settle Ma En Xu, and the rest of the servants will deal with Ma Qiloong, you must finish these two people off within a day, remember, after these two people are missing, even if the higher ups suspect me of having done it, but there is no evidence, they would not be able to say anything. Right now, everyone should be able to see the situation clearly, with the two of them dying, the only way to stabilize the Ma Family is to push me to become the clan leader."

The body of a slave that was hidden in the corner of the room jolted. Must they kill each other in order to allow the Ma Family to continue existing?

A slave sighed in his heart. He was trapped inside, unable to control himself.

He no longer had the identity of a Ma Family individual, so he could only act like a shadow and be used to fight for the rights to Ma Family.

Without another word, a servant turned around and disappeared from the room.

… ….

Jiang Chen returned to Jiang Sheng, and only then did he learn about the recent events regarding Guihai from Zhang Soong.

The Liu Family Elder had gone missing, and the Patriarch of the Ma Family had died in a car accident. The two matters seemed to have no connection at all, but it gave off a feeling that there were countless links between them.

The most suspicious thing was that two things happened at almost the same time. Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?

Thinking about the information Old Master Liu revealed to him between the lines, Wu Liang's guess became even more convinced. There really was a family that wanted to use this kind of method to weaken the Guihai and break into the Guihai.

Liu Family, Ma Family, were similar to two first-string families, and would naturally be the first to be targeted, because their threat was also the greatest.

In recent years, other than the fact that the Guihai was located in a sensitive area, the fact that these two families had not intervened in the Guihai was one of the most important reasons.

Liu Family hidden from the world, no one knew how deep they were.

On the other hand, the Ma Family extended across a very wide area.

In other words, they had never fought before. No one knew what kind of trump card these two families had in their hands.

It was the kind of thing that could smash someone to death with one or two hits, or it was soft and weak. One would have to spar with others to find out.
