Chapter 325: Family Meeting (2/2)
So, the future heir will not be selected for every generation. But they will select an outstanding genius in a certain generation who has prospects to be a future heir and once that candidate appears, anyone who is in the same generation can compete for the title.
Once the holder of the title becomes strong enough to defeat the current head easily, then he can take over the position.
So, every family meeting will be a competition for the future heir position if there is a future heir in the place.
Sanjay sat in his position and Watt has a seat arranged right next to him. He didn't let Watt stay in the room and he doesn't want to leave Sam an opportunity to sneak Watt out of this place.
Today, he is determined to know what happened twenty years ago. He has to know if what he accidentally read is right or wrong.
He has to know what happened to the uncle and why has he been staying in the basement for the past twenty years without even thinking of coming out.
What does he always have a certain tinge of resentment when it came to faction matters and the Faction-head.
Who is this person who was labeled as a traitor?
Today, he wants to get an answer to all of those questions.
Right now, Sam is sitting in the last row at the back of the crowd as he watched the whole ceremony.
There are more than a thousand members in the venue. And he could still find Watt who sat along with the core disciples on the front row seats.
The Faction-head stood up as he spoke in an amplified voice.
”Today is the auspicious day our Beast faction. The Family Meeting is not just a competition to show our might or a venue of competition. It is a celebration of our glory and the achievements we have obtained…”
The Faction-head spewed all kinds of powerful words that would rile up the audience with a straight face.
He made it sound like being a member of the beast faction is the most valuable thing in the whole world.
Sam listened to this as he patiently observed every detail he can see and tried to play various scenarios in which he can use the surroundings to his advantage.
As for Philip and Jack, they are nowhere to be seen.
The meeting went on and the battles started.
There are some mini-tournaments between the top rankers of all categories within the outer disciples and the inner disciples.
Many competitions are held simultaneously. Sam didn't care as he observed the whole venue silently.
It is like a Colosseum. The Outer disciples and the inner disciples all took the seats as the audience except the participants took the front row seats.
The Higher-ups like the faction head, the heads of individual families, Grand elders all of them sat in a VIP Booth from where they could see all the venue.
As for the core disciples, they have their seating positions in another booth, which was placed directly under the main booth of the Faction head and the rest.
These booths are open and are similar to the seating positions of the royal families and the important guests of the Colosseum.
If chaos occurred, there is no way for all the disciples to move instantly and many lives would be lost.
Sam's heart was beating fast as he trembled in excitement. He is weirdly excited by the fact that he would be taking on the whole beast faction now and taking away his friend right under their nose when they are all watching and all the power of the beast faction is gathered in one place.
As time passed, the first part of the meeting was over. Now it is time for the four family battles.
The battles would be team battles and will be the deciding factors of the resource distribution until the next family meeting.
The four teams got ready to perform their best as the core disciples and the elders stood up. Sanjay didn't go as he is the holder of the future heir position.
The current head and the holder of the future heir position will be part of their family but they are banned to interfere in the resource allocation and all other stuff which has to be distributed among the four families.
By the time they held their positions, they have to be impartial towards all four families, so they are directly banned from participating.
And the second part of the family meeting thus began.
