The Helis family had been silent for several days since Loran Hill's visit that day. Miss Melu ordered that the entire Chamber of Commerce headquarters be completely closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave at will.

A few days later, the door of the Helis Chamber of Commerce headquarters opened. To outsiders, it seemed to be the same as usual, but the staff inside found that some faces had disappeared. It was said that they were assigned to work in branches far away.

Later, the main managers of each branch of the Helis Chamber of Commerce, especially Melu's uncles and relatives, received invitations from the main family. The invitation said that because the head of the Hoss family had been enjoying himself too much recently, the priest of the Angel Temple diagnosed that he might not live long, so everyone was invited to discuss the issue of the Chamber of Commerce's successor.

If it is some ordinary meetings, these relatives of Helis don't care whether to go or not, and the attendance is not large. But when the transfer of the Chamber of Commerce and the distribution of property are mentioned, they swarm in like flies smelling fishy smell, fearing that they will be too late to have a share of the soup.

In this way, in just one week, these distant relatives rushed over and gathered together.

The main meeting room of the Helis family's house.

Hoss sat at the head of the hall, his face pale, his flabby and fat body like a piece of soft white bread. From time to time, a maid would bring him some medicinal soup. On his right sat his eldest daughter, Melu, and next to her was his youngest son, Bell.

Among the many managers in the audience, all kinds of eyes were looking at the head of the family in the middle. There was envy, jealousy, fear, greed, desire, and all kinds of eyes were looking at these members of the main family. Now that the meeting has not started yet, they were whispering in the bottom, communicating and testing each other, trying to know what each other was planning.

Meilu looked at the group of people below. Those faces were so familiar, yet so strange. When did it start, and did they all come to this point? There was no warmth of the past, only greed for money, as if this was the only value and meaning of life.

Or perhaps this is just normal, people's hearts are fickle, only interests are long-lasting, moving the heart and unable to extricate oneself. She sighed silently in her heart, and then felt a slight pulling sensation on her arm.

"Bell? Well, don't be afraid. Just sit there quietly. I will protect you."

Melu held her brother's hand, calming his uneasy mood, and then the meeting finally officially began.

The host first clapped his hands to let everyone calm down, and briefly introduced the reason for calling everyone together. Because the head of the family, Huo Si, was unwell, he decided to step down and let others take over.

"I'm sorry to call you all here at this time." Hoss began to speak. He spoke slowly and his voice was a little weak.

"Master, you are worrying too much. Your health is the most important thing."

"Yes, don't worry too much, we are here."

"Yes, don't worry."

Some stewards responded from below. While their words were full of concern, their excited eyes didn't show concern for Huos. They were probably just secretly delighted. Huos was, after all, the son of the previous patriarch. While his strength wasn't up to par, his seniority and seniority still held him in check. But if he retired, who would take his place?

Bell was only 14 years old, not yet an adult. No one cared about him at all. Although the eldest daughter, Meilu, had certain strength, she was a daughter and would get married sooner or later. She was just an outsider. What qualifications did she have to manage the family? When the time came, they would have to entrust them with handling the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, hahahaha.

"Therefore, I plan to hand over the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce to my daughter, Meilu, and let her handle it."

When Hoss said this, there was an uproar below, and everyone showed expressions of disbelief. Suddenly, the previously kind faces became ugly, and all kinds of questioning voices were heard.

"Patriarch, please think twice. Meilu is just a little girl. It would be too arrogant for her to take charge."

"Yeah, why should we hand over the Chamber of Commerce to a daughter?"

“The Chamber of Commerce should be led by someone with experience”

"I think Master Vito is right."

....

The crowd below suddenly became noisy, with many people starting to argue. Everyone expressed their opinions on who they thought was the most suitable leader, and some even recommended themselves. Hoss, sweating, spoke a few more times, but unfortunately, no one listened. They were only busy venting their dissatisfaction and arguing about who was qualified to lead the Chamber of Commerce.

Melu stood up, patted her father on the back, and whispered a few words in his ear. Hoss's anxious expression slowly eased, and then several guards escorted him and Bell out through the nearby small side door. The clashing of armor outside the door seemed insignificant, drowned out by the clashing noises in the meeting room.

Some people noticed Hoss's departure and were about to step forward to question him, but were stopped by the attendants who had been prepared. They seemed to be standing sparsely in front of the stage, but they were guarding against anyone who wanted to step forward.

Boom——

Boom——

The big bell in the conference hall was struck, and the metallic vibration of the bronze bell was clearly transmitted throughout the venue. Only then did the scene gradually quiet down. When everyone saw that only Melu was left on the rostrum, they finally felt something was wrong.

"Ms. Melu, where is Lord Hoss?"

Several stewards began to ask questions, and the others looked at Meilu, waiting for her answer.

"Father is not feeling well and has gone back to rest. I will take care of the rest."

"Mel, please get off the stage. Hoss is ignorant. How could he let a girl like you take on such an important task?"

An uncle spoke loudly, some others began to echo him, and more people watched coldly. At this time, no one stood up to speak for Meilu.

Meilu slowly stood up from her seat. She was wearing a dark green long dress with a bright yellow camellia pinned on her shoulder, which was particularly eye-catching. Her face could not be seen clearly in the slightly dim conference room, only her long chestnut-gold hair draped over her chest.

"Uncle Vito also thinks I'm unsuitable?" Her voice was a little cold.

"Yes."

"But I still want to do this, what should I do?"

"Don't act like that. We're doing this for your own good."

"But I want to."

Looking at the familiar uncle in front of her, Meilu's voice became colder and more resolute.

"you......"

Before the uncle could finish his words, Melu picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on him.

"You are just a member of the Helis family branch. What qualifications do you have to yell in front of me?"

"Has calling you uncle made you forget your duty?"

Everyone looked at Meilu in shock. No one expected that Meilu, who was usually gentle and lovely, would dare to say such words.

"From today on, the Helis family will be unified once again. Everyone and every branch must obey the orders of our master!"

"And I will become the new owner of the Helis Chamber of Commerce. If you have any grievances, you can express them here."

Each word was pronounced in a firm and decisive manner. Meilu looked directly at the relatives and elders present, her black pupils slowly sweeping across the room. As she finished her words, teams of fully armed guards filed in from the side door. They were silent, and only the sound of metal clashing could be heard. A full three hundred armored guards had completely sealed off the venue, and no one could escape from the silent hall.
