Chapter 230: Chapter 220 Royal Family Rewards

“`

Yeager and Lilian were ambitious, and their ideas ignited passion in the eyes of all present, for everyone in the Dawn Church was well aware of just how powerful the great Lord of the Lost truly was.

They were vastly different from those cults that worshiped false gods, possessing very unique power that belonged exclusively to themselves.

Moreover, any believer who joined the church and made contributions, showing their own devotion, could attain that power.

The first time they set foot on the God Pantheon stairway, many people were filled with awe, their hearts beginning to truly believe that the Dawn Church could indeed change the entire world!

“I disagree,”

Byrne said with a cold gaze and a stern tone, dissenting with a single sentence that immediately calmed everyone down.

Although Chris was the nominal head of the family and Lilian the Priest of the church, no one in the family or the church dared to take Byrne’s thoughts lightly.

Everyone was clear that, since Irene’s martyrdom, that calm and wise man was the true pillar of the family.

Lilian looked at her father, who had just poured cold water on their plans, and was not surprised deep inside. The family’s elders often spoke of the family’s motto: “Keep secrets, be cautious.” They had given up a lot for it, yet they had never regretted it.

“Father,”

She took a deep breath, already knowing the reason, yet she asked as calmly as possible, “Why?”

Byrne continued seriously, “I don’t deny that your vision is grand, but the possibility of exposure will also increase greatly. Our current strength is insufficient to take on such a tremendous risk.”

“If we do as you say, the secrets of the Dawn Church will definitely be discovered, and in the end, our family will fall into a terrible and hopeless predicament!”

Even without her father’s words, Lilian had already foreseen what he would say.

She gazed into her father’s eyes and asked, “The family secrets have been discovered a few times over the decades, haven’t they?”

Byrne suddenly felt that Lilian had really grown up a lot, with no trace of her childhood appearance, and he nodded slowly, seriously saying:

“Yes, but we dealt with them immediately each time.”

Lilian wanted to continue but then, thinking of something, shook her head and said, “If that is so… never mind, I won’t try to persuade you further. Let’s vote then.”

Byrne was slightly startled, and after looking at his daughter for a long while, he nodded gently.

“Alright.”

Therefore, Lilian turned her head to look at Chris and Vanessa, who had the right to vote, and said calmly,

“Next, we’ll decide the future strategy of our family by vote. Whether or not to accept into our ranks the ordinary members of the Extraordinary Exponent families, please think carefully before making your decision.”

She knew deep down that Uncle Chris was actually somewhat of a radical, or it could be said that there was an attitude of playing with the world in his nature.

Had he not been so perfectly suited for the Path of Tranquility, Uncle Chris might have taken the path of prophecy.

Thus, she believed Uncle Chris might support her, as doing so would create more variables, and he would definitely enjoy the variables.

Vanessa took a deep breath and nodded, saying, “I understand now, sorry, Lilian, I might not follow your wishes.”

Chris calmly looked at Lilian and showed a faint smile.

The scales of belief were then laid out again, and the four members of the Fischer family with voting rights voted once more, but the results were not to Lilian’s liking.

The three others, aside from her, thought that the Fischer family was not ready to be so radical.

Seeing the final voting results, Lilian took a deep breath and nodded begrudgingly,

“Very well, I’ll try to persuade you in the future.”

In a few more years, Karno and Christine would come of age, and if Darren could return too, the vote composition might undergo a change.

She pondered silently, feeling there was no need for haste.

After everyone had dispersed, Byrne and Chris were left alone.

In the empty room, the cousin-uncles looked at each other.

Chris said calmly, “There is no surveillance in the manor.”

Byrne sighed, furrowed his brows, and said, “Lilian has grown up, she has many thoughts, but she is not mature enough yet, she doesn’t see the huge risks behind certain actions.”

Chris shook his head gently, saying, “It’s not that she doesn’t see, but that she believes.”

Byrne paused for a moment, then finally had a moment of realization and said,

“You mean, because she believes that the great Lord of the Lost always protects the fate of the family, she thinks we will inevitably be successful no matter what? I see now, I understand, that does make logical sense.”

He had not thought from Lilian’s perspective, so many things had been unclear to him, and it took Chris’s insight for him to suddenly comprehend.

“Chris…”

Byrne was silent for a long time, then his tone suddenly deepened, his eyes shimmering like pearls in the river of years, radiating tranquility and wisdom.

“Chris, have you found anything about the matter I asked you to look into?”

“Yes.”
