Chapter 354 - Chapter 354: 335 Frosac family meeting (2/2)

He took a few steps forward, looking directly at his uncle August.

“Can you shoulder such responsibility, my uncle?”

August immediately grew angry, his arms even beginning to swell involuntarily.

“What did you say! Zayne!”

At this moment, Zayne had none of the respect for August he had decades ago.

The original Zayne, whether in terms of status or strength, could only be considered mediocre within the family, while August, as the next heir to the family head and a Monarch Level powerful expert, was someone Zayne had to please.

Now, their statuses and strengths were nearly equal, which wasn’t apparent in normal times, but in critical moments, neither would back down.

And just then, the aged “White Beast” spoke up.

“Stop arguing. Why don’t you both take a break and listen to my thoughts?”

Zayne immediately bowed respectfully and stepped back, saying, “You are the head of the Frosac family; naturally, your view is the most important.”

August nodded and also stepped back, saying, “Please share your thoughts, but I still must remind you not to drag the entire family into trouble over personal relationships. Defying the royal command can lead to our family’s destruction!”

The aged “White Beast” slowly nodded, looking as if he might fall asleep at any moment, his eyes half-closed and devoid of any energy.

“I can roughly see that the time for a great reshuffle has come, heh, it’s about time, too. But my opinion is there’s no need to rush. Positions, after all, should be chosen after collecting enough information. We might as well wait and see what the Jones family decides.”

So that was it, Zayne immediately understood.

This oldest fox in Cyart Kingdom planned to see which way the wind was blowing before declaring his stance, delaying it if possible until then.

Indeed, a choice befitting an old fox!

But that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Zayne was well aware that defying a royal command wasn’t something the family could afford to do lightly, so this was all he could secure for the Fischer family.

Of course, he didn’t say this just out of friendship; few people would risk their entire family for friendship and drag them onto a battlefield that could lead to annihilation.

Deep down, Zayne felt that both the Fischer and Romann families definitely had a chance to win, and besides, the Adley Royal Family had indeed been a bit off in recent years.

“Soon, the Tempest Church will go to the Cyart Royal Capital for investigation!”

——

Nasir City.

The sea breeze, carrying the salty scent, gently brushed over the port of Nasir, dispersing the thin morning mist.

On one side of the harbor, members of the Fischer family and many citizens had already gathered early, faces brimming with anticipation and joy, the whole sky seeming even brighter.

Suddenly, a whistle from a ship broke the quiet of the harbor. People looked up to see a steamship, belching smoke, slowly entering the port.

The brilliant sunlight shone on the ship, its golden light reflecting off the waves, as if enveloping the ship in a sacred aura.

“They’re back!”

“They’ve really returned! That’s great!”

“It’s His Excellency Byrne of the Fischer family, Lord Chris, and Lord Darren!”

As the ship docked, the crowd began to stir.

The figures of Byrne, Chris, and Darren appeared at the bow, dressed in fine clothes and exuding an aura distinctly different from ordinary people. Their return made everyone present heave a sigh of relief, while the citizens erupted into loud cheers.

Byrne smiled and waved to the crowd, his smile as warm as the sunshine.

Inwardly, he pondered the next steps to take.

“Based on the timing, our letter to the Romann family should also have reached the hands of the Jones and Frosac families.”

“Hopefully, they will make choices that are beneficial for us.”

“As for the Fischer family, we also need to hold a family council to decide on future matters.”

“Moreover, Irene’s situation must be told to the members of the Dawn Church!”
