C165 (1/2)
In the clan, the minority had always obeyed the majority.
Although Zhao Hua Xiang didn't say anything, his attitude was clear.
He did not express any opinions, but after so many years had passed, a large number of people loyal to him had expressed their opinion. He only needed to stand by and watch, and the result would be satisfactory.
The crane father was speechless. After a moment of silence, he slowly opened his mouth under the urging of someone, ”Now it seems that what I said is of no use. Then, just follow the procedures.”
Zhao Huaxing was one of the nine Elders in the He Clan who would vote for the Patriarch's successor.
Zhao Huaxing was naturally not afraid of that. After deeply looking at the Crane Lin, he took the initiative to head to the inner hall.
Crane father also used his walking stick to get up and also glanced at Crane Lin. He took a step forward and said, ”Since you have been nominated by the Head of the Family, then come along as well.”
He wanted to see how many people in this Crane Family had been infiltrated. He also wanted to see what the Crane Forest had in mind.
The crane Lin was not surprised, and immediately followed.
In the inner hall, all nine elders were present. Father Crane entered and sat down. Without saying anything unnecessary, he immediately started the program.
”Now, there's Crane Forest and I who are competing for the position of Patriarch. We'll cast an anonymous vote. If you support me, Crane Forest, then draw a circle on the paper, and support Crane Forest, then draw a square.”
After making clear the rules, Crane Father sat down and watched the reactions of the nine people below.
The anonymous vote was to keep people from being disturbed, so he had no idea who was betraying him.
However, they were both people who held great power within the clan. Thus, they could tell that their thoughts were not that simple. However, the crane father only quietly looked at them with an obscure expression.
Everyone did not say anything as he personally gave them paper and pen, then returned to his original position.
No one was in a hurry to start writing. They looked at each other, then picked up a pen and started writing on it. Except … Zhao Hua Xiang.
”I forfeit.”
He smiled and then leaned back in his chair. With his arms crossed, he looked at his father with a smile.
The crane father's face was grim as he looked at him, his expression unsettled. It was only when the crane Lin brought the notes from the other eight people …
The crane father knew in his heart that even though the outcome was surprising, he did not become angry. He only sighed, ”Good. It seems that this old man is no longer useful. To think that you all despise him …”
Everything had already become clear.
He Lin was elected the head of the He family by five votes, and he only had three votes.
Crane Father looked at the Crane Forest by his side, and even revealed a slight smile. ”Congratulations, Xiao Lin. From now on, the Crane Family belongs to you.”
He emphasized the word ”you” heavily. After he finished his sentence, he even glanced at Zhao Huaxi, clearly showing his intention.
The elders below also went into an uproar in an instant. However, only the voices of the three elders were heard. They were in disbelief. As for the others, they did not move at all.
